Actizzard or Vivision...

Vivendi and Activision, two huge names in the gaming industry, are merging in a $18 billion deal. And they're calling it Activision Blizzard. Wtf kind of a name is that. Trying to use Blizzard's name as a trusted name to buy from. I have to admit though, that this is definitely a very smart move, allowing this company to compete with the monster that is EA, but I sure as hell hope they don't ruin Blizzard's good name. Blizzard has already had a rep come out and say that nothing will be changed, and all the staff, management, production, etc is going to remain the same. If this deal were to somehow screw up Starcraft 2 there'd be a lot of angry gamers. I'm thinking this'll do more good than bad though.

In other news it has snowed where I am, which is pretty awesome. Can't wait for it to turn in disgusting gray muck.

In the meantime here's one of the most popular winter mini games, snowcraft. If you haven't played it before, do it now. Use your mouse to control your guys and shoot snowballs at the other team.

as long as activision stays the hell out of blizzard's way it should be good. Hopefully we won't see any Tony Hawk's World of Duty...craft: Allied Assault mixed up nonsense
