WoW fanatics on NA servers rejoice! Blizzard is accepting Wrath of the Lich King beta applicants as of 5 hrs ago (approximately 5am SGT)! Spots are limited so gogogogogo before its all gone! US accounts are able to access the beta opt-in form at: https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/beta-opt-in.html
FAQ
You are not guaranteed to get into the WotLK beta if you have a BlizzCon or WWI beta keys. These keys might go to another beta (like Diablo III).
You can opt-in on multiple accounts, but each account can only opt-in once.
If you get a key with one account, you can use it on another account of your choosing. However the key can only be used once.
Opting in early does not necessarily mean you will get a beta slot early. Everything is random
If you get a beta key from another source and are selected via the opt-in process, you can sell your key for 1000 gold.
Remember that when you opt in, you are not guaranteed a spot, and you will most likely not get an email inviting you to the beta right away. Instead your name will go into a pool of players who will then be chosen for the beta. That's why its an opt-in and not an open application.
This is a good time to remain vigilant about email scams and other malicious programs that might try to get your user name, password, and other account information. Never share these with anyone other than official worldofwarcraft.com websites. Heck, never share them at all. Just login at the official worldofwarcraft.com site and opt-in from there.
Should you receive an invite (damn you!), do comment here or drop us an email so we can share the joy with the rest of the world.
I shall assume that the invites might come before the NA onry holiday weekend, but don't take my word for it. We might be getting it Q4 2008 or something...
In this corner, we have War showing off his brand new Doombringer (not the sword's name, i just made that up), in which he will put to good use in the upcoming Darksiders: Wrath Of War action-fest by THQ. In the other corner, we have the unveiling of one of Resistance 2's big bad, the Leviathan, standing 300 feet tall that could give Gears Of War 2's Brumaks a run for the money. I'm surprise that War here isn't getting a hernia lifting that thing every day. Oh, and there's also a few new shots of Darksiders for your drooling/praising/bashing pleasure.
I usually get a whole lot of mail a day regarding a whole lot of stuff. This includes security advisories by people like Symantec, Sophos, and other security firms. Usually, I don't bother much with these since I tend to think I'm pretty much well protected and keep my system quite updated. But, something came in today from Sophos with a report saying that the US Sony PlayStation website has been compromised by hackers with an SQL injection attack. What this means for us gamers is that a couple of pages (SingStar Pop and God of War was mentioned) have been identified to include malicious code which can install backdoor and/or botnet access to your PC to steal private data, pretending to be a malware popup.
As far as we know, this attack and code STILL exists the PlayStation site. We haven't yet heard anything from Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE), or Sophos to say otherwise yet, so, if you do any transactions on the Playstation site, do take extra care of any bogus pop-ups.
In a move that will elicit positive fan fervor all over Singapore, Malaysia, and probably the entire world, Square-Enix caved and now makes the news official: Chrono Trigger is going to be rereleased onto the Nintendo DS. They added that this version will be remastered with stylus controls, wireless play, and a new dungeon. They even have a countdown page (a fad these days) using the clock from the game's intro (the link itself, coded ctds, does help prove the game's existence).
When it comes to proclaiming what's the best JRPG of all time, Chrono Trigger comes on top due to its streamlined and perfect-length gameplay and its introduction of combined attacks and a lot more groundbreaking features for its time. It also was the breakthrough game for famed composer Yasunori Mitsuda. Right now, it's a nice feeling to know that the new generation of gamers will now know how an actually good JRPG works.
Initial D: Extreme Stage goes on sale tomorrow (03/07) for 7,980 yen (SGD$102) at that-online-import-store. The popular series returns on the PS3 with updated graphics and support for network play, as well as a new opening song: Dive into Stream by the Jpop group M.O.V.E.
