WoW Moviewatch: The Fall of the Lich King by Onix
Tipster Citadel passed this video over to me, citing it as a pretty good raid machinima. That can be a tough field to evaluate, since different raid videos all obviously serve different purposes. Some are showing you strategies, others are displaying player skill, while still others are just kind of saying, "Hey, this is cool." The Fall of the Lich King by Onix definitely seems to fall in the "this is cool" category. It's got a blend of different Icecrown Citadel fights, including a half-dozen or so voice-overs from the game files. If you're experienced with this raid already, you probably won't see much that excites you. However, if you've not done Icecrown Citadel to any real degree, Onix's video will do a decent job showing you what the place is like. For that reason alone, The Fall of the Lich King is a nice video to have on tap. Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch!

Bushnell unveils trio of handheld / car-based GPS units
Those thinking GPS to stuff the stockings this winter now have option when it comes to picking out the perfect handheld / car navigation system. Bushnell is taking time from crafting those night vision goggles and luxurious binoculars to throw down three forthcoming GPS units. The ONIX 200 ($199.99; pictured after the break) handheld sports a SiRF Star III receiver, 240 x 160 resolution grayscale display, 128MB of SDRAM, 32MB of built-in memory, integrated US / Canadian maps, rugged / waterproof design, and even boasts the nifty ability to "download, display, and georeference satellite photography." The similar ONIX 200 CR sports the same specs and functionality, including a 26-hour battery life on two AA cells, but replaces the monochrome LCD with a 320 x 240 resolution colored version. On the car-based side, the NAV 500 ($599.99) features a 3.5-inch color touchscreen, pre-installed maps of the US and Canada, a SiRF Star III receiver, MP3 player, SD slot, photo viewer, and a "pedestrian mode to calculate walking routes." While the ONIX 200 and NAV 500 units will both be available this month, the colorific ONIX 200 CR should hit shelves by next February.Read - Press releaseRead - Bushnell ONIX 200Read - Bushnell ONIX 200 CRRead - Bushnell NAV 500
