I have some important WoW news. Today's PvP'ing went much better than last night's PvP'ing. Although, i did lose an Arathi Basin 2000-0 tonight, i actually got the hang of the Death Knight. So, last night i let out my frustrations by making a quick post about how WoW fails. I gotta give credits to those at Blizzard though, they did make one heck of a game. This is clearly evident in the 11 million players worldwide. Anyways, my PvP experience today was much better than last night. I took Dan's advice and i decided to actually use cooldowns today and it worked out. I realized this when i beat another DK 1v1 in the middle, for the flag in EoTS (Eye of the Storm). I just simply outplayed him. That's when i realized that, hey, i'm not that bad. I still got the occasional gang rape, as was expected, but it's okay. I played much better today. I got used to my keybinds and got more familiar with all of the Death Knight's moves and it was a pretty good day. I'll be back on WoW after this post.

Some news about Square Enix. The makers of the popular Final Fantasy series, are set to announce the release of a new MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) at E3 in 2009. An MMO is basically, World of Warcraft. I'm pretty sure they're the most addicting type of games that are out. I really hope this does not turn out to be a major flop like Final Fantasy 11. Square Enix's last attempt at the MMO world wasn't all too successful. I actually played Final Fantasy 11... It was really stupid. I played Final Fantasy 11, before i played WoW, but it was just terrible. Just a waste of 150 bucks (Game + HDD + 3 monthly payments). I can't picture people playing an MMO on the console, it just doesn't seem right. But, Square Enix might have taken a step in the right direction. Word is, that this new MMO, named Rapture, will be coming out on the PS3, Xbox 360 AND the PC. This may be what gamers are looking for, but will it already be too late? I believe E3 is in March and by then, i hope that Blizzard finally announces what kind of MMO they are currently working on. My bet is on Blizzard coming out on top, since they are the kings of MMO's (Starcraft, Warcraft, Diablo). But, i still have to give props to Square Enix for trying. I love you Square Enix, please release Final Fantasy 13 soon.

This next post was actually supposed to be in my first blog, earlier today, but i completely forgot about it. The PSP 2 (concept picture, to the left?) and the PSP-4000. Although, Sony has denied both of them as being just rumours, that doesn't stop the public from releasing more and more news about it. Rumour has it that the PSP-4000 will be coming out sometime in 2009 and that the PSP 2 will be following soon after. The PSP-4000 is, basically, PSP 1, version 4. A little over a month ago, the PSP-3000 was released, so that gives about 1 year in between PSP-3000 and PSP-4000. Don't forget that these are just rumours. People are claiming that they are already making PSP 2 games, which is interesting. Can't wait to see what other kind of news we'll be hearing about the PSP, but be on the lookout.

Facebook, Facebook, Facebook. It definitely grows fast [That's what she said]. But seriously, there are 300,000 - 400,000 new users, everyday. But, lately it's actually been increased to about 600,000 - 700,000 users everyday. By March, Facebook may even hit the 200 million user mark, which is incredible. Taking a look at this graph (below), shows how many users are on Facebook and it's growth is just overwhelming. Hopefully, it doesn't turn out to be the next Myspace, which has died up here in Canada.
