The Wolver-slap in the Face / What's up with the WCG?

It's been a hefty while since I've posted an entry due to my rekindled addiction to WoW, but I'm officially back on track and ready to go :D

As for the previous entry, do not worry as my promised entry will be posted soon. WoW can REALLY be addictive, for better or for worse.

Since I was a kid, I was really fond of games that involve one of the most influential factions in comic book history, the X-Men. As a matter of fact, some months ago, I have expressed my love for the old school X-Men games, notably the arcade game that is simply awesome to say the least. And for long-time fans, Wolverine has become more bad-ass than Cyclops ever was, and has become the centerpiece of the entire mutant puzzle.

So it may come as a shock when we heard about this piece of news most recently:

There are two sides to this whole Origins issue, depending on your perspective. The temptation is running real high when you consider that you get to download something as big as this for free. So yeah, the consumer wins one-sidedly. However, that'll utterly harm the future of the whole X-Men franchise, and perhaps even the entire movie scene as well. Let's face it, they did work real hard to materialize this entire project from the ground up. So for people to download the movie prior to its official viewing is akin to a slap in the face to those who worked hard putting up this film. Plus, there's a definite difference between watching something pirated from watching something that's shown on the big screen, yes?

I'm not going to say what's right for you guys (since we all have our own views on things), but it's best to take a look at this issue in the long run and see if that'll be beneficial to everyone in the end.

Also, my friend, Vincent, has a very compelling post in regards to the World Cyber Games and the need for them to disclose further information for those who want to join this event. Please do spread the word as well :D

What's up with WCG?

Also, Mickey Mouse is officially awesome now!
