   Live Journal: “LiveJournal announced on the same day that they would be adding a new member to their Advisory Board, linking members to the journal “rickastley”, which contains a Rickroll.”

   IsoHunt (Bit Torrent Search Engine): Isohunt has the Rick Astley video instead of their normal frontpage.

   LyricWiki.org: LyricWiki has the Rick Astley video instead of their normal frontpage.

    Apparently, World of Warcraft did something funny. I have no idea what it means.

    Consider yourself lucky. I found myself laughing quite hard at this and the new ‘bard’ class which mixes Warcraft playability with Guitar Hero.

    Then I stopped and realized that I was a nerd.

    //Woot! The Molten Core! I want to relive that experience on my Atari 2600!!!//

    I doubt there will ever be a licensed World of Warcraft on the 2600, but there have been dozens of games written for that machine in the last few years, some of which are comparable to the better games of years past. New cartridges generally cost about $25–a bargain compared with games for other systems.

    It’s amazing: games have expanded in size and RAM utilization over a millionfold, and CPU speeds have increased over a thousandfold over the last 30 years (Combat was 2K RAM; the 2600 has 128 bytes of RAM and runs at 1.19MHz) but I don’t think the games on newer systems are anywhere near a thousand times as much fun as some of the old classics.
