FigurePrints price reduction, armor sets available
Our friends over at FigurePrints have a few pieces of news to share this weekend: first of all, they've dropped the price in the EU from €129.95 (which was about $166) to €99.95, which lines up with the US price of $129.95. The reason given for the original higher price was exchange rates, but they now say things have settled down enough where they can line up the prices. No word on if EU people who ordered them at the higher price will be getting a refund, so I'd assume they won't.Also, they have now implemented the Tier armor sets we were told about in our interview at BlizzCon -- instead of ordering a FigurePrint with your usual gear on it, you can instead choose to dress your character in Tier 1, 2, or 3, dungeon set 1 or 2, or the original PvP Rare or Epic armor sets. That's designed so that characters don't have to go back and collect all of those pieces -- if you'd rather remember your character in that original armor from the vanilla game, there you go.
Calling 1-800 Magic, episodes 2 and 3
Since unveiling their Shadowrun machinima series 1-800-MAGIC (no, it's not a full phone number but it still works -- it's that magical), Rooster Teeth have released two more episodes in the series.When we last left off, our scrawny protagonist with a malfunctioning weapon was mysteriously teleported to ... well, somewhere. Episode two answers that question and more, such as, "why does it smell like bacon?" Episode three marks the return of the unhelpful customer service rep. Say what you will about Shadowrun, but it has certainly set the stage for a great machinima series.Videos, rated NSFW for naughty language, embedded after the break.
