You know, I was on the fence about the whole thing. But I'm kind of excited that BU is being lead by EGHuck of starcraft 2 fame. What a story. You go pro in SC2 and it eventually leads you to working at the Kraft organization, leading their Gaming division. I'm a Boston fan, but really I'm a much bigger EGHuck fan!

I just updated some hardware on my PC, but now I'm going to start getting in to a routine of doing about 5 to 6 year replacements with maybe a video card update every 3 years. If you figure, a good high end PC is about $2000 you can save that in shot 5 years at about $1 a day (a little more then that, but close enough).

So that's about $365 a year. Seems reasonable. I didn't always have this plan, so I had to eat the cost of new parts. But in about 5 years I'll have enough money to get a pretty sweet new rig.

Hey nice work! How different is it to create an app like this for other TVs? I know Sony is Android under the hood I think, and I think LG is WebOS (what ever that is) but how different is it all really, any idea?

@iodine: Thats what I thought, but that's not what it looks like when they pick stages.

What is the game engine that Dong Dong Never Die uses?

@the_ruiner: Yeah I felt the same way about his WoW Expansion quick look. It was like 30min of him going "Hey this is my base" and someone saying "so what can you do in it?" and his response was basically "well, I think, I donno, you might be able to... something... yeah I'm not sure" I think hes fine on live shows, so don't get me wrong, I just wish he did even some light reading up before he jumped in to a video.

Talk about a harsh look! This was definitely not a strong look at this game. I like Rorie, but when it comes to videos I feel like he always seems under informed about the game hes doing a quick look of. The lack of preparation kind of bothers me. I get that this is supposed to be a 'quick look' style video, but including characters in different locations (one in a city, one in a forest), and discussing the game mode of the server your on (Rorie only mentions that he's in a Headshot only server when he can't figure out why the zombie he's shooting isn't dead yet) would have been nice. At one point its implied that your character sticks around in the world when you log off (this could be a huge turn off), which shouldn't take you long to figure out isn't true either. I'm just not sure what kind of prep work went in to making this video...

@steadying: Then You don't have to buy in. I'm sure he knew what he was getting in too when he called it down. Did he seem salty about it? I haven't seen the video yet.

Here is the flip side to this coin, you could never buy in to a air drop for your whole time playing H1Z1, but you could totally loot as many as you can if you make the effort to snatch it before someone else does. I would take this over simply putting shotguns in my account inventory that I can put on every character I make. That's the dark path this game could have taken.

I loaded this game up over the weekend just to see if it was still alive. Not only is the website for it still up, but the servers that I played on oh so many years ago are also still running. Nothing has really changed in the Well of Souls world, but thats fine with me! I would love to see this game active again, if only for the novelty of it.

Incase anyone reads this, you can get the game at

Its free, and servers are still up!

@zironz: you would think this would be obvious.
