Pelican and Hasbro team up on NERF-branded PS2 controller
Sure, it's no Wiimote or caramelized Xbox controller, but the NERF Wireless Controller could definitely hold its own in a gamepad brawl. Designed by Pelican and Hasbro, this cushioned PlayStation 2 controller sports "soft, durable foam," Pelican's "Smart Play" technology, wireless connectivity, and a sweet NERF logo for extra bragging rights. The company claims it can withstand "squeezing, throwing, twisting and spiking," and while its currently only available for Sony's soon-to-be-replaced PS2, other platforms shouldn't be too far behind. So if you aren't exactly ready (read: too broke) to pull the trigger on a new console (or HD DVD attachment) come November, this $29.99 flingable controller could help alleviate the new launch envy.[Via Joystiq]
Warlock changes in 1.9
It has been a little over a week and I have been grinding my warlock towards getting my mount... Since I am purely spec’d for affliction right now, I haven't seen much downside (personally) from the recent patch. I have seen a lot of whining about the CoS/CoE nerf on the forums. Most of the whining is geared towards the fact that CoS is only useful in groups/raids now because the damage buff is easily overrun by CoA when running solo. Any warlocks with real numbers done a comparison? The other item I wanted to discuss was the addition of the soul shard bag - I have mixed feelings about them. I am running with 19-20 shards on me, average now. Even thought I have more shards, I find I still use them up at the same old rate when running solo (I don't have shadowburn, yet). I have seen a lot of flak about the cost of the bags and the fact that they should have been a quest reward, at least for the low end bag. Ecksvee has started an effort on Uldum to take donated components and money to make free bags for everyone - a brilliant idea! What are your thoughts on the shard bags? Was 1.9 a buff or nerf for warlocks, or do you not care? :)
