    There are 10 million people signed up to/addicted to "World of Warcraft" - I expect "Blizzard" can afford the odd charge back.

    [Source: "The Interview"]

    For those of you who think this is a "foreign" conspiracy:
    Among the U.S. names, many investors like the stability of Activision /I]owner of Blizzard[I, the world's largest stand-alone game publisher. It forecasts conservatively, pays a dividend and boasts two cash-cow franchises: Call of Duty and World of Warcraft.

    The "Black" version of Call of Duty looks like being a financial winner - nice to know we have done our bit to help finance this Xmas must have "game".

  • Happy Christmas to everyone who is reconciling their credit card statement.
  • Blizzard just took $1100 out of my account and I've never even heard of them before today let alone bought anything from them!
    They took out 6 lots of $91.63 & 3 lots of $183.27.

    Kekeke

    Koreans express the sound of derisive laughter by "keke". Other forms of laughter include "heehee", "hoho", "jaja", "haha", etc. In the written Korean language,
    hangul, it is written 크크크, and in Internet discussions or chatting simply ㅋ repeated several times is often used. Since early versions of WarCraft did not support hangul, Korean players would use a romanized spelling—hence, kekeke was born. It is often used in-game as an expression of exaltation or as a form of mockery. Commonly, it is associated with the Starcraft tactic of a Zerg rush, named after the unit for whom the tactic was created.[10] The phrase "Zerg Rush Kekeke!" is sometimes used outside of the game to indicate any form of overwhelming or swarming force. Kekeke is also used as an evil laugh and is used by players using devious tactics and/or playing evil characters. Kekeke is commonly associated with laughs of devious characters in manga, anime, and video games, and has made its way through various translations.
    The phrase also occurs on the MMORPG World of Warcraft. There are two major factions in the game which 'speak' different languages. All chat text entered by a member of one faction will appear jumbled to a member of the other, and vice versa. As a result, members of the Alliance faction would see "kek" when a member of the Horde faction had typed "lol", while conversely a member of the Horde faction would see "bur" when a member of the Alliance faction had typed "lol". The cipher works a little differently for longer words though, and "hahaha" becomes "kekeke". Such terms have become widely understood amongst World of Warcraft players.[10] This is also a good example of what is known as an easter egg in the game World of Warcraft. The game writers at Blizzard used hundreds of famous phrases and names in populating the game world, and KEK (Orcish for LOL)[10] was intentional. In the early days of World of Warcraft, Leet was used to circumvent the language barrier between the Horde and the Alliance factions, until Blizzard started encrypting all chat characters.

    With thanks to Wikipedia.
