The Corrupted Blood debuff being spread amongst characters in Ironforge, one of World of Warcraft′s in-game cities. The spell, intended to last only seconds and function only within the new area of Zul'Gurub, soon spread across the virtual world by way of a bug that allowed pets and minions to take the affliction out of its intended confines.
By both accidental and purposeful intent, a pandemic ensued that quickly killed lower-level characters and annoyed higher-leveled ones, drastically changing normal gameplay, as players did what they could to avoid infection. Despite measures such as programmer-imposed quarantines, and the players' abandoning of densely populated cities (or even just not playing the game), the epidemic was finally controlled with a combination of patches and resets of the virtual world. The conditions and reactions of the event attracted the attention of epidemiologists for its implications of how human populations could react to a real-world epidemic. History[edit] Controller prototype stretches thumbs for extra feedback — www.joystiq.com. By Richard Mitchell on Mar 6th 2012 11:00PM Video game feedback systems haven't changed dramatically since the implementation of "rumble" over a decade ago.
Engineers at the University of Utah hope to change that with a new kind of controller. The prototype controller provides haptic feedback via small pads that sit under the player's thumbs. These pads can move in any direction, stretching the skin of the thumb, offering directional cues or simulating in-game events. The pads can mimic the usual game fare -- explosions and the like -- but they can also simulate more tactile sensations, like the "feeling" of crawling on the ground while prone in a shooter. It's a bit hard to grasp from the description alone, so we suggest you check out the video above for a peek at our possible future. Indie time travel RTS Achron enters our timeline August 29.

League of Legends - Free Online Game | LoL - League of Legends. The 10 Best Wii Games, Feature Story from GamePro. Kinect vs Move vs Wii: A buyer's guide, Feature Story from GamePro. Rock Band vs. Guitar Hero, Round 2. You wanna rock. But between Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero World Tour, there's a bona fide battle of the bands going on as the holidays approach.
Both games promise arena-filling rock-god dreams, and both are good--so let's take a look at what makes each game tick. (I evaluated the Xbox 360 versions of these games, but both are also available on the PlayStation 2, PS3, and Wii.) The latest Guitar Hero offers many new features, but you have a couple of big questions to answer before taking the stage: Do you invest $180 dollars to form a Rock Band, or do you spend 190 bucks to go on a World Tour? The Gear Used to be, you had to own more plastic toy guitars than Eddie Van Halen's kid to play all of the music games out there. Rock Band 2: At launch, the original Rock Band required roadies to be on call 24/7. Guitar Hero World Tour: Adding drums to a game called Guitar Hero? The Set Lists Rock Band 2: Think iTunes for the gaming world.
Starcraft. 16-year-old Makes Working Scientific Calculator in Minecraft. It's a working graphing calculator inside Minecraft. Doh. To be honest, some of us barely have enough time to build a pyramid or towering 8-bit video game character in Minecraft much less a gigantic, functional machine that can be used here in the real world. Yet it's amazing to see these massive projects show up in video demonstrations where players build virtual machines brick by brick, especially from those who can't even legally vote.
Case in point: 16-year-old "MaxSGB" has created a working scientific/graphic calculator inside Minecraft. "The screen and keypad were always meant to be the main feature of this machine," he writes on YouTube. The video itself explains that its overall size is more than 5 million cubic meters -- just over 250 x 250 x 100 blocks. To see the virtual calculator in action, check out the video below:
