WoW miniatures game a footnote compared to Warhammer.

WoW miniatures game a footnote compared to Warhammer.

We were too lazy to report on the World of Warcraft (WoW) miniatures game slated for release on November 11th when we heard about it many months ago, but Massively’s recent post on the release reminded us of the irony.

Warcraft has taken the opposite approach of its initial inspiration, Warhammer, by starting with video games [...]

Unsurprising: Blogger population slows.

Unsurprising: Blogger population slows.

Jacqui Cheng posted about the overall blogosphere population slowing its growth, while profit-for-blogging has gone up. We find both those facts rather unsurprising, and pretty sensical given how young mainstream blogging is. And “mainstream” is the key word here, because while blogs like mendax.org have been around for over a decade, the barrier-of-entry for [...]

Phone + bestiality = good design?

Phone + bestiality = good design?

Somehow, at the 2008 Good Design Expo, Japanese company Willcom showcased a concept phone to what Forever Geek refers to as “the adoring public”. The phone is not only oversized, but in the shape of a teddy bear, and requires the user to talk into the bear’s crotch as though to give it fellatio. Fortunately, [...]

Malreports

mendax.wow discontinued.

mendax.wow discontinued.

Sorry for those who’ve been hanging on, but it should have been clear by now: we stopped playing World of Warcraft (WoW) some time ago, and with that, mendax.wow was effectively killed. Should someone wish to resurrect this WoW add-on compilation, we’d be happy to continue hosting it, but unless that happens, expect mendax.wow v2.41 [...]
