The one problem with World of Warcraft (besides all other facets of your life disintegrating like a tomato in time-lapse footage) is that you can't play it on the go (no, this guy doesn't count). Though a new app being spit-balled at Blizzard won't fix that problem, it may just make traveling a tad bit more bearable.
MTV got the scoop during a sit-down with Frank Pearce, co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment, in which he talked about a mobile division working within the company. "I don't think we're looking at it as something like, 'We're going to make mobile games,'" he said. "We want to look at the mobile devices as something we can use to enhance the experience of our existing games." To that end, Pearce mentions the possibility of an app that would let mobile users monitor their auctions or read their in-game mail while on the go.
It's still in the brainstorming stages, but it's probably enough to start getting fans excited. What would you like to see in a WoW mobile app?

Ugh. Each d/l of this game should come with a free cockpunching. It's turned most of the gamers I know into pathetic withered shells of their former selves. The last thing we need is for this virus to become airborne.

I concur, and I also LOL @ "cockpunching". So many of my friends stopped their gaming in general, and when I brought it up, the same answer would return to my ears each time:
"Dude, all you need is WoW."
I say "All you need is ZAZZ." And a life. Not bashing WoW players in general, but this stuff's going to be regulated like pharmaceuticals before it's all over with.

Are they also spit-balling a WoW spinal tap device? Cause I'd be all for it. Frees up the hands, you know.

I don't know. I'd be weary. She has that "Nerd Slut" look to her. You don't know what the hell she caught from Shatner during the Trekfest 05 event...

Real nerds would kill to catch something from Shatner, sexual or not.

A while back, I was talking to my buddies about having a AH addon for your cellphones. It would be great.

Damn! Why is she wasting her talents on Cos-Play? She could be making a living doing C+ grade internet porn.
