Each deck also includes one of the top placing winners of the “Draw to Win” Jenny Everywhere card design contest, brought to you by The Shifter Archive Project.

WAGON Webcomic Battle: Alpha and Beta decks include cards inspired by the following comics:
I just wanted to drop in and update the review I did on Warhammer Online: Preview Weekend. Every issue that I mentioned was resolved in the latest Beta Patch. I have no complaints so far, and it really looks like Mythic Entertainment is really listening to their players.
The current hot issue is of realm types and how the chicken mechanic works in each (open RvR and core RvR). It looks like Mythic is reading the player suggestions and really working hard to strike a fair compromise. We will see how it turns out.
Well, let me begin by saying, overall Warhammer Online was very enjoyable. Most of the issues I have I’m going to present here to be addressed perhaps in hopes of being fixed in the future. Let me start off by saying I’ve played FFXI (2 sad years), WoW (3? or 4? lost years), some Age of Conan and a tad of Lord of the Rings Online.
Lets start with the little technical things that are quite easily fixed. My fiancee, Meghan, and I have the same computer. Serious. The specifications are:
The only difference is that I run Vista Business and she runs Windows XP. I would periodically crash randomly in scenarios, load screens, or even walking down the road. It happened after at least 2-3 hours of game play. Not a big deal at all, just saying it happened. Also, one time during a Public Quest in the Shadowlands all of a sudden the graphics started tearing, the NPC models disappeared and all I saw was the shields and weapons. Meghan never experienced a single issue. She also loads 3-4 seconds faster then me in all cases.
The level of graphics seemed to be throttled down, imo. I kept looking for a setting to make it a little better, but never found it. It is totally playable though. I think the engine is intentionally built like this to support a large number of people on the same screen, which I totally understand. Then again, I am just coming off from playing Crysis so… I might just be spoiled.
So I beat Crysis… I know, way after it was out. Anyway, it was way too short. It was like it took you to the top of the climax and then didn’t finish. It was almost as if the game was meant to give you blue balls. One for not finishing and two the price of computer components to run the damn thing.
On of my friends recommended I play through all stealthy. This wasn’t my style. I went balls out and charged enemies with the boomstick. This makes the game ridiculously easier. Drive by boom! Duck behind something, charge up, rinse & repeat. Even at the end when you weren’t fighting soldiers anymore… you had access to fire power that made them mad stupid to fight. I never even used max might unless it was required to in the game. I never grabbed any of my enemies either. Whats the point when you got the bead on his skull?
IMO the hardest part of the game wasn’t even the last boss.
$100 dollars to go! But travel & expenses? Is it worth it? With WotLK around the corner, Starcraft II, and Diablo III (YAY!) in development, I would most definitely say hell yeah!!
Then cold harsh reality slaps you in the face. You don’t shit money.
I estimate, $1200 for plane & hotel accommodations, the a day or two not working, and the ticket…
If someone would sponsor me I will go with a camera strapped on me and or dress in something with logos all over it. DO IT.

Joystiq reports that DC will partner up with Capcom to produce comics based on the popular Devil May Cry and Resident Evil video games. I am very happy with this news being a fan of both series.
This news coming shortly after it was announced that DC will produce a comic for the upcoming game Mirror’s Edge. All will be under the DC Wildstorm umbrella.
I hope this trend continues. PLEASE OH PLEASE I want a Cooking Mama comic please!!
You will totally be the envy of the town with this sucker. Just think of all the places you can play! Who needs emulators? I hear this is only a mere $300 dollars. This could only be better if you wear the Blow Me shirt.
