Congratulations WoWathon!
After almost two weeks, the WoWathon team dinged to 80 last night to the strains of The Final Countdown.On August 1, they started their mission to raise money for the charity Child's Play by playing WoW straight from 1 to 80. They have suffered through griefers, trolls and extended maintenance -- all while streaming to the public. The team surpassed their initial goal of $5000 goal and have raised over $8000 as of this writing, all for making the lives of sick children more pleasant.There is still time to donate, if you want to congratulate them in a charitable fashion. Just go to their main website and click on the ChipIn! button before August 15th. Any contribution helps, no matter how small.I'm so proud of them (sniff) and I'm looking forward to next year's WoWathon.
Music Monstars going on a world tour?
JoWood has announced a deal with German publisher Tivola, in which JoWood will publish the company's titles in "North America, South America, Spain, Portugal and India." Tivola's DS lineup is an assortment of the kind of children's games that get mocked relentlessly, with one exception: the surprisingly awesome-looking Music Monstars, which the company is releasing on August 21.There's no specific announcement about Music Monstars -- in fact, JoWood's press release emphasizes "well-known licenses" and "significant educational content." Music Monstars might count as educational, but it's not really an identifiable license! Still, if JoWood plans to localize any of Tivola's games, we would be really happy if they chose the really cool one.[Via La Gran N]
