Peggle: WoW Edition released as a standalone download
There's Peggle the original PC game, Peggle the XBLA game, Peggle the iPhone game, Peggle: Steam edition, and Peggle the WoW addon, and so when I heard rumblings of "Peggle: WoW edition," I just figured people were talking about one of the many, many already-released versions of PopCap's popular Plinko-inspired pasttime. But no -- the folks at PopCap have released another version of Peggle: Peggle World of Warcraft edition is a standalone, free (PC-only) download that allows you to play a WoW-related version completely outside of World of Warcraft.All that make sense? It sounds like PopCap realized that there was a call for a brand new version of Peggle (including new stages, WoW-related backgrounds, and even a secret easter egg between Arthas and Bjorn the unicorn) that was different enough to stand as its own PC game, so they worked their coding magic and put it all together into a downloadable standalone. And much to the lament of Mac gamers everywhere, it's PC-only.But then again, it's free, it's Peggle, and so if you haven't gotten your Peggle fix through any of the aforementioned channels yet, here's the hit you've been waiting for. If you do the math (and chart the number of Peggle versions over time), we're pretty sure that, soon, all games will be Peggle. And strangely enough, we're kind of OK with that. Peggle is really fun.
Two chances left to enter WoW Insider's Dell notebook giveaway
We're really starting to get down to the wire now-- there's only two chances left for you to enter to win in WoW Insider's big Dell notebook giveaway. To enter, all you need to do is comment on that post (not this post-- commenting on this post gets you nothing but the satisfaction of making your mark on our site), and you get to do it once per day, so since the contest ends tomorrow, you have only today and tomorrow left to leave comments.Now, the contest has gone on for six days so far, and there are about 31,000 comments on there, so your chances of winning right now if you've left a comment every day are about 6 in 31k, or about 5,166 to 1 by my math (and my math is usually wrong). I won't lie-- those chances are pretty slim, but I will say that (if my math is correct, and it probably isn't), you have a better chance of winning this laptop than bowling a 300 game (11,500 to 1), being struck by lightning (576k to 1), and getting injured by fireworks (19,556 to 1). With that kind of perspective, your chances are pretty good, wouldn't you say?Go leave a comment on the contest post anyway-- the odds are (probably) in your favor.
