Most of my friends play World of Warcraft. I don’t. I suspect that these hilarious new spots featuring cult icons Mr. T and William Shatner are aimed at me—if you’re not a geek or know nothing about the game, they have little appeal, like an earlier spot. But they’re going to be national TV ads, leading me to two conclusions: WoW’s popularity is peaking/has peaked. So they’re wrangling the offbeat pop cultural status its South Park episode cemented to try to lure in people of my ilk. Or maybe I’m just reading it wrong. Either way, catch at least the Mr. T ad after the jump. It rules.
Remember that remote control iPhone to Mac app we showed you last week? Someone’s used that to get World of freaking Warcraft working on the iPhone. It’s not exactly “desktop quality,” but he does get the ability to chat and execute some basic commands. You won’t see another Jenkins episode reproduced on the iPhone though, since it looks like it takes forever to do anything. [Everything Digital via Kotaku]
The problem with massive online games is that they’re full of other people. In order to bypass the need for interaction and reliance on outsiders, one gamer (and, get this, his girlfriend) decided to take on the responsibilities of an entire World of Warcraft guild himself. Gaze upon the 47 PC setup that allows two gamers to simultaneously control 23 independent accounts each. More info on the hardware after the jump.
