Being nerdy and being sexy at the same time is not possible anymore nowadays, and the living proof is Brooke Marks. She’s one of the most “goggled” names online as being a famous internet solo girl *ahem* in adult industry. This bubbly blonde from Florida proves that not only is she smoking hot, but she’s a bonafide nerd in computer gaming. She shows her geek cred by making a parody video of her passion in World of Warcraft game. She will blow you away with her photo gallery dressed as Warcraft’s night elf, after the jump. (Be forwarned, your video card might get toasted while downloading the extremely hot pics and video)

You’ve seen the breathtaking action and beautiful detail of “Deceived” cinematic trailer of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Now,people felt like they have been deceived after they have seen the actual gameplay footage in the newly released SWTOR video documentary. Check out the common complains of fans around the interweb and the gameplay video after the jump.

• What’s a Starwars game without some correct character rendering? The character rendering looks blocky and facial expression is stiff.
• The graphics look hardly any better than Star Wars Galaxies, a 6 year old game.
• The upcoming Aion Online and Champions Online have so much better graphics
• Aesthetic pleasures will always be short-lived but game lacks fundamental aspects needed to entertain
• People play these games so they can be Luke Skywalker and Boba Fett. Make every effort you can to stick to an iconic and starwarzy feel that joe lightsaber can appreciate.

Inspite of all these comments, we can’t judge yet whether or not the entire game is lackluster when we haven’t seen the entire game yet. What do you think about this Star Wars troopers?

Here’s a MMO-inspired music video from breakout rock group “Tarsha”, a Los Angeles based rock band fronted by vocalist Sheldon Tarsha. This song “Second Life” is said to have lyrics influenced apparently by the Second Life game and the no-pain-no-disease-no-dead-no-tragedy line perfectly fits this virtual world. Though this metal rock song and visual aesthetics (ala red hot chilli peppers) will not appeal to majority of SL residents who are beyond 40’s. However the younger audience who can relate with the music and want to jump from reality to find a perfect paradise might get encouraged to play the Second Life. A good marketing publicity for both band and SL, eh? Check out the official Tarsha’s music video after the jump.

If you hate most MMORPGs because you can’t relate with fantasy elements or you think hacking monsters in dungeons is child play. But if you are into niche games with post-apocalyptic feel…that is with lots of toxic spills and nuclear explosions. The upcoming Fallen Earth may make you redefine the meaning of MMO, a massively multiplayer online game mixing first-person shooter style action with traditional role-playing game design, doesn’t get even better than this!  The game features more than 1,000 square kilometers of landscape to explore and conquer, 70 towns, six distinct factions, a classless advancement system and a unique crafting feature. The missions you choose determine who you are—will you ally with a faction or rally against it?

Key Features

• First Person Shooter/Role Playing Game Hybrid: Engage in intense FPS combat with the depth and customization of RPG character advancement

• Classless Advancement: Utilize the robust skill-based system to build characters with multiple stats, skills, mutation paths, tradeskills and factions

• Massive Real-Time Crafting System: 95 percent of the in-game items—vehicles, consumables, weapons, armor and more—can be made by the players as they scavenge and harvest

• Unique Faction Systems: Ally with or rally against six factions to determine how the post-apocalyptic world is rebuilt

• Multiple Game Play Modes: Experience multiple types of game play including crafting, exploration, vehicle combat and scavenging in both solo and group play

• Tactical Player vs. Player: Battle in one of the open PvP zones or wage war with the factions to claim control of a town

• Vast Explorable World: Put survival instincts to the test while experiencing 70 towns with more than 5,500 missions spread over 1,000 square kilometers of zoneless territory

We get a lot of people who look at our game, see anything post-apocalyptic and go, “Ooh, look a Fallout MMO!” But no! It’s not Fallout! Road Warrior existed before Fallout!

The 2008 presidential campaign of Barrack Obama has been dubbed one of the successful political strategy of this information age. No election mediums were spared during his campaign as he was able to utilize the xbox360 console. He took advantage of the in-game advertising (IGA) by putting up his electronic billboard ads to various Xbox360 titles such as Burnout Paradise. Within this day (Saturday July 11th, starting at 8am EST), President Obama is gearing up to give a historic address in Ghana, Africa and he wants to make sure his voice will be heard by everybody. Now, the two known online social networking games, the Second Life and Metaplace, will simultaneously broadcast live his video feed to the actual game which they would expect massive interaction and debates within the avatars in the virtual world.

According to USPublicDiplomacy.com blog:

Additionally, the White House team for new media has created multiple platforms to encourage responses. These include text messaging with unique country codes, a Twitter feed (#obamaghana), and Facebook online chat for the event. Each of these venues promotes citizen participation in shared public spaces.

In short, these initiatives demonstrate the very best potential for new technology to facilitate public diplomacy for dialogue and citizen engagement. It allows Obama to answer tough policy questions in ways that encourage maximum participation while strategically influencing the general African population. No other U.S. Administration has thus far been either willing or able to create such an open public network.

And despite this “new media” push, there continues to be an emphasis on even more ubiquitous means of communication such as radio to acknowledge those who are on the other side of the digital divide.

In the recent Blizzard’s conference, Starcraft II VP game designer Rob Pardo has officially announced that the local area network (LAN) support will not exist in this highly anticipated sequel of Starcraft, where the LAN feature actually has been the one who has helped the popularity of this game. Instead, the developers are pushing the users to use the Battle.net services to be able to utilize the online multiplayer capability.

According to this petition online, here’s the major reasons why to keep the LAN:

• There are still many that don’t have internet access with the required speed to play without lag, or would like to play with a friend or sibling residing in the same house. LAN is NOT an expensive upgrade, and once you have it, it’s yours.
• LAN is what birthed SC popularity in the first place. Please don’t ignore the heritage of the original game.
• Using LAN is a little bit of freedom. Often you might be at a friend’s place with the only option to ad hoc the wireless connections instead of using internet, excluding the Battle.net gaming possibility.
• There are little to no ill effects in implementing LAN compared to the advantages. Just look at SC1 now. Even with a laggy Battle.net, it is still selling so well that it once again reached top-10 on the NPD charts a decade after its release!
• LAN is a vital part of what makes StarCraft so great, and what will make StarCraft II even greater. It’s the sort of freedom we have come to expect from Blizzard Entertainment.

Don’t let this milestone in gaming history be forgotten by their ignorance or greediness! If you would like to support the online petition for the LAN support, visit http://www.petitiononline.com/LANSC2/petition.html

Do you still remember the Tamagochi handheld digital pet that millions of people got hooked on it sometime on 1996. Even the parents  at that time were very upset about the Tamagochi hype because the minds of their kids were so occupied at all times with the conditions of their virtual pet –as it can get starve, sick, and even die. Anyway last June 18, the Nintendo released  a new DS game called “Tomodachi”, which simply means friend connection. Its gameplay is like a crossover of Tamagochi and The Sims game, in which one of the highlight features is that they can import their Mii avatars from Nintendo Wii console to their Nintendo DS portable. So they can manage or play their Mii-based digital self  everywhere any time and it can even interact live with other Mii characters from other co-Tomodachi fans via wifi internet connection. Check out how the Tomodachi is selling like hotcakes in Japan after the jump.

According to Media Create, the Tomadachi sales report is off to a flying start in Japan with 102,000 sold. There is no release date announced for North America yet.

Below is the Japanese sales charts for the week ended June 21, 2009, courtesy of Gamasutra.com:

By the way, I’m just wondering if their Mii-self could possibly meet the fate of death just like the Tamagochi? But do you know there’s bizarre cemetery in Japan where you can literally bury the actual Tamagochi hardware unit.
