Jim Raynor versus Diablo and Many other Blizzard Stars in Heroes of the Storm

Blizzard Entertainment released a cool new cinematic trailer for the upcoming MOBA HEROES OF THE STORM featuring notable characters from the company's three franchise games Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo.

From Left to Right: Nova Terra, Jim Raynor and Tyrael

Check out the awesome trailer below:

Oh and while we're on the subject, here's the gameplay trailer for the game which is pretty much a big fuck you to the bigger MOBA games out there like DOTA and League of Legends.

Signups for the beta testing is currently ongoing so you might want to lurk at Blizzard's official website for more details.

Cannot Wait for the Funko Pop Vinyl Blizzard Figures

I'm about to start my collection of Pop Vinyl figures so imagine my delight when I backtracked on my news feed and saw this announcement from SDCC about Blizzard Entertainment related Pop Vinyls. 

Check out the prototypes as shared by Geeky Red...



I'm seeing a Zerg Sarah Kerrigan, a Terran, an Angel from Diablo 2, Diablo and is that the Lich King??? 

Kickstart This: STARCRAFT UNIVERSE

There's a brand new kickstarter project for WOW (World of Warcraft) clone that'll be based on the characters and locales from Blizzard's other hit RTS game Starcraft II. The game itself is called "STARCRAFT: UNIVERSE".

The project is spearheaded by Upheaval Arts and looks oh-so-sweet. The only problem is the lack of Zerg representatives. Let's do a short roundup as to why you should invest.

• It's a surefire win. C'mon it's Starcraft. You'll never EVER have another chance to go and jump from the standard STARCRAFT II to something more akin to WOW. 

• Get the chance to explore new territories and worlds that were either hinted to, mentioned or just completely ignored in the two Starcraft games (plus their expansion packs).
• Kickstart it and get to experience it ahead of others. Surely you get something out of being one of the beta testers right. Like a rare item or some ludicrously powered up skill. Well, there must be something.

Check out the video:



So lezzgo guys, let's kickstart this baby and plug and play!

1/6th Scale Jim Raynor Terran Marine Figure

I'm excited for this figure although I'm sure as hell uncertain whether I will have the funds to actually buy this 1/6th scale figure of StarCraft II's main star Jim Raynor. And as my friend Ulak would say "Jim Raynor is the Batman of the Starcraft universe" and you know how much I love Batman.

From the hit Blizzard Entertainment game, StarCraft II, we’re proud to introduce Jim Raynor – Terran Space Marine!

Confederate marshal turned outlaw rebel, Jim Raynor’s not one to back down from a fight. Equipped with advanced Terran armor and weaponry, the massive 15″ Raynor – Terran Space Marine was assembled from over 525 individually engineered components, making it one of Sideshow’s most ambitious Sixth Scale projects to date.

The detailed armor features light up elements in the chest and engine vents, and Jim’s impressive cache of weapons includes a C-14 Impaler Gauss rifle, a massive sniper rifle, and his signature revolver.
