Wow...I never saw this coming...

I wonder who's going to be a guest character in the next Tony Hawk? an Orc I'll bet XD

And Starcraft Ghost is the new Duke Nukem Forever...it's never going to happen.

Like that guy who was in college long before you and will still be in college long after you've graduated...he's never going to graduate...not because he's not smart but because he's always changing his major.

Yeah, but didn't Blizzard actually say that Ghost was never going to happen? As opposed to 3DRealms which keeps saying "We're working on it, guys, honest"?

Why do I keep hearing the Imperial March every time I think of Activision Blizzard?

Seriously this franchise is going to succeed through sheer force of combined cash. And then WoS if things pan out the way we're hoping... What a creepy alliance.

Did it say if they are changing either name? Are they going the hyphen route ala Squeenix? Hmm... If they were smart they'd leave the names alone.

EDIT: Edited for personal stupidity, Activision Blizzard it is.

Also from their Activision Blizzard press release:

As if Blactivision wasn't the best name ever.

Well 3d Realms just goes "Seriously we're working on it," and Blizzard goes "We lost all of the programmers due to a simultaneous get-up-and-leave, so we're not working on it right now." A little different, mostly due to levels of honesty.

And given the fact that Blizzard hasn't done an action game (well maybe The Lost Vikings 1 and 2 counts), I'm kind of glad.

Okay fess up. Who did you rip off that name from? You couldn't have possibly thought that up yourself as it is filled with so many layers of genius.

Pssst. DFM is a genius.

Gonna have to call shenanigans on that.

Also, I wish that this merger will make a Diablo 3 and Warcraft 4 (you know they have to make one) release much sooner... like much much sooner.... like right now... pretty please?

Blactivision sounds like Blacktivision, something Black Steve from Code Monkies would probably name something. I hate that show, so I dont know if it is actually from that, anyone who does wathc it, wanna verify?
