Blizzard Celebrates World Of Warcraft’s 4th Anniversary With Baby Bears

2:10PM Mike Fahey | Four years ago today (November 23rd), Blizzard threw open the doors to Azeroth and then quickly shut them, opening and closing them several times until they were sure they had enough servers to handle the massive rush of players eager to enter the World of Warcraft. To celebrate 1,460 days of lost time, broken relationships, and weight gain (and I’m not excluding myself here), folks who log into the game today are gifted with the achievement “WoW’s 4th Anniversary” and an adorable little baby polar bear to follow them around everywhere they go.

Hello Kitty’s Birthday Celebrated In HKO

5:00AM Mike Fahey | While other MMO games are busy celebrating Halloween this weekend, Hello Kitty Online is getting ready for a celebration of a far greater calibre. Tomorrow marks the 34th Birthday of Kitty White, the big-headed icon we commonly refer to as Hello Kitty, and Hello Kitty Online is preparing a birthday celebration fit for a character that’s been on more erasers than the words “I love you.” Festivities kick off tomorrow with a weekend-long birthday party, with KW herself appearing in-game, which I suppose we are supposed to be thankful for. “Gee, thanks for showing up at your own party.” More »

Second Life Celebrates Five Years

12:40AM Mike Fahey | Linden Labs is celebrating the five year anniversary of the launch of their virtual world Second Life, and you’re all invited, even if most of you won’t come! In honour of this milestone, the Lindens will be holding a two-week long Virtual World Fair, complete with parties, roundtable discussions, and exhibits that highlight the genitalia perversion creativity of the world’s residents. Things kick off June 23rd with a keynote speech from Linden Founder and Chairman Philip Rosedale and newly appointed CEO Mark Kingdon, both of whom better have some pretty kick-arse avatars. If they don’t have at least jet packs and glowing eyes I’m laughing them off the stage. Cue my character’s temporary ban in 3…2…1. Hit the jump for details on some of the milestones that SL will be celebrating, or visit the official site for a schedule of events. More »
