Comical side of Activision/Vivendi merger
Whether you are for, against, or completely neutral to the Activision/Vivendi merger, you'll enjoy Action Trip's latest comic in light of the situation. You don't need to know all of the details, or what this means for Blizzard, to understand and have a laugh. Simply note that Activision is the company that brought out titles such as Guitar Hero and Call of Duty.
I'm a particular fan of this comic, and I'm not exactly sure why. I mean, I do play Horde, and an orc at that; and no one likes to get ganked! The style in which the night elf is depicted, combined with the last frame, had me laughing out loud though.
If you hadn't heard about the merger, or would like to learn more about what this means for World of Warcraft, head over to Mike's recent update on the situation, as well as his coverage of an interview with Blizzard President and CEO, Mike Morhaime. Dan also wrote up a post summarizing the official press release and pointing to some top-notch articles around the web for more information.
If you feel you have a particularly solid grasp on the matter, Elizabeth has asked for your predictions on the future of the company. Because I know you can all tell the future, there's no point in keeping it to yourselves.

Actually, "I am Murloc" would make an amusing track for the next edition of Guitar Hero. :)

I'm afraid we will be seing the watering down of Blizzards brands. Blizz themselves will still create kick-ass games, but I think the Activision side will want to do a little 'leveraging' of their own.

El Kabong has already been proven to be a die hard NRA man thanks to Harvey Birdman.

Not to seem like a troll but am I the only one that finds the Action Trip comics painfully unfunny?

The counterpart to the Night Elf Mohawk - the Hendrix 'Fro.

Once again, the universe taunts me with WoW's lack of bards.
