Blood Bowl – Xbox 360 (RP)
Nov 30th
The game is a combination of a tactical game and a sports game The basics are extremely simple: two teams, one ball. The team that carries the ball into the opponent”s end zone scores a touchdown, the team with the most touchdowns at the end of the game is the winner. However, it���s how you decide to do this that makes things interesting, the ends justify the means! It���s not just the players you have at your disposal either. You can bribe the referee���s to look the other way as you cripple or trample annoying opponents and hire illegal wizards to give you a hand directly from the crowd��� Blood Bowl severely tests the finest tacticians” strategies There are many races to accommodate every player���s profile and even more strategies for experimenting. Winning a game requires a strong game-sense and a lot of self-control. For the player”s enjoyment, omnipresent humor and the use of spells, weapons, and other non-regulatory means place Blood Bowl outside of the classic sport simulation genre.

More WoW-themed cakes
Nov 30th
Thanksgiving seems like an excellent time to update our gallery of WoW-related confectionary masterpieces, also known as WoW cakes. This dragon and Alliance-themed cake above was made for Valaar of Kargath by his girlfriend Erelia for his 30th birthday. She also made the Cake of the Lich King that we posted a while back. Talented lady!
And elsewhere in the updated gallery, you’ll find this Moonkin cake, made for Mark by his mother, sister, and girlfriend. Yes, those do appear to be real feathers on the cake. Probably not the most appetizing topping, but maybe they were just making it to show off. It does add a very Moonkin feel, that’s for sure. If you have pictures of an awesome WoW-related cake, feel free to send them along on our tipline, and you may see them right here in the future!

It came from the Blog: We partied like pilgrims
Nov 30th
Last Wednesday night, It came from the Blog got together to Party like Pilgrims. We got some Pilgrim’s Bounty achievements and won some loot. Unfortunately, the Guild Roster gets buggy when there are more than 500 members. So I don’t know exactly how many showed up, but I estimate it at around 240 over the course of the event.
Blog Overlords Adam Holisky, Michael Gray, Matt Low and Kelly Aarons were there. Adam held a trivia quiz and gave out some loot codes to speedy contestants. And, of course, I was there, but I am the brood Blog Mother. We had a great time and really enjoyed running around with everyone. And of course, we took pictures.
We have more events planned soon. Expect a Battleground Bonanza, a Hogger/Faire excursion and some Feast of Winter Veil fun all in December. We hope you’ll join us!

Dofus : Dofus 2.0 petit à petit
Nov 30th
Alors que tout le monde n’a en tête que la date du 2 décembre, jour de passage à la version 2.0 de Dofus, Ankama nous annonce que les choses se feront petit à petit.
En effet, la version actuelle n’étant pas encore terminée, et quelques joueurs n’étant pas encore prêts à passer sur la nouvelle version de Dofus, Ankama a alors pris la décision de faire passer les joueurs à la 2.0 en deux temps.
Le 2 décembre, la version 2.0 sortira mais seulement sur deux serveurs ! Ces deux nouveaux serveurs seront Crocoburio et Li Crounch et disposeront pour leur ouverture, du célèbre bonus de drop et expérience x2 pour une période de deux semaines.
Pour les autres serveurs c’est différent. Ankama annonce que le passage à la 2.0 se fera doucement. Qu’est-ce que cela veux dire? Tout simplement que Dofus reste en 1.29, en parallèle des serveurs sous 2.0, mais seulement pour un certain temps, qui n’est pas encore déterminé.
Ankama décide donc de changer d’avis au dernier moment. Et si beaucoup vont aimer cette nouvelle, certains vont être déçus de ne pas pouvoir emmener leurs personnages sur la version 2.0 avant un bon moment.
