Blizzard files trademark for 'Cataclysm'
by Griffin McElroy 
{ Jul 1st 2009 at 4:00PM } 
Our acronym-infused sister site WoW.com reminded us of a very important point -- not all Blizzard trademarks turn into actual games (isn't that right, StarCraft: Ghost?). However, they also noticed that the domain name wowcataclysm.com recently expired and is now held by GoDaddy -- who handles all of Blizzard's domains. It looks like Big Blizz is up to something -- but we might have to wait till BlizzCon to find out what that something is.

ah I thought she wasnt there
Storm Eagle @ Jul 1st 2009 4:09PM
You don't have some sort of beef with me do you Longhorn?
I don't wanna be the new Sprinkles.....
Chin-Paaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! @ Jul 1st 2009 4:12PM
If you troll a website for a year and come back under 50+ accounts, then you are a Sprinkles. But it was a special breed all of its own.
Longhorn of Myon [PSN: MariusElijah] @ Jul 1st 2009 4:16PM
You were chosen as Sprinkles successor since your comment was chosen as the thread to end his trolling, and now you must troll until he returns once again
Chin-Paaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! @ Jul 1st 2009 4:21PM
Nah man, that should be me. Let me try....
STFU Longhorn you dumbass, hypocritical, racist, holier-than-thou Sony fanboy. Enjoy your pathetic pos3 in its third generation you Sony pony bony crony! Hypocrite to the very end........

Storm Eagle @ Jul 1st 2009 4:22PM
While it is an honor to be the started of the thread he was rebanned on, I do not wish to follow in that P.O.S.'s footsteps.
I love my PlayStation.......and I don't roll Troll....
Longhorn of Myon [PSN: MariusElijah] @ Jul 1st 2009 4:25PM
this has been a really weird day here at Joystiq
Duke @ Jul 1st 2009 4:32PM
Oh I missed his most recent ban, damn. What topic was it in?
Storm Eagle (P:FoXGameR, X:PullingADrifter) @ Jul 1st 2009 4:35PM
It was quick and painless....
He posted one comment and it got removed. You have to find my comment at the bottom of the first page to find any piece of it.
It's on the Shoryuken post before this one.

No sign of Dead Space: Extraction chick.

FACE EXTRACTION @ Jul 1st 2009 4:04PM

ottoman673 @ Jul 1st 2009 4:04PM

ArchiGamer @ Jul 1st 2009 4:03PM
Hmm, the background seems oddly familiar but I can't put my finger on it...
Storm Eagle @ Jul 1st 2009 4:05PM
No, but I bet you wanna put your finger IN it....
devilsei @ Jul 1st 2009 8:19PM

Clever. While it's getting a bit old, I'm impressed with how you pulled this one off.
Cody @ Jul 1st 2009 4:37PM
It's getting funnier with every article.
Neuromancer @ Jul 1st 2009 4:42PM
If by "funnier" you mean "less funny" than yes I agree.
Old Professor Zertoss @ Jul 1st 2009 4:05PM
They finally decided to trademark the event they're going to cause by releasing Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 on a world that is already almost completely addicted to WoW.
AsherR @ Jul 1st 2009 4:31PM
I approve of this comment, even if it is a bit predictable. :D
AsherR @ Jul 1st 2009 4:33PM
I disapprove of my comment because it doesn't relate to the article.
But yes, I wonder if this will be for their new MMO. Post-apocalyptic perhaps?
May the random theories began and Blizzard will watch all the puppets dance!
Oneiroi @ Jul 1st 2009 4:06PM

Jawmuncher @ Jul 1st 2009 4:15PM
OMG Dude that is awesome I might have to use that on my forums.
Would that be ok with you?
I'd give credit where its due of course
Leroy_Octopus @ Jul 1st 2009 4:23PM
Well done. I wonder if EA will change the box art because of Joystiq. That would be funny.
Oneiroi @ Jul 1st 2009 4:25PM
Go for it!
I made it using a website, so not much artist credit is due!
ilovethewaggle @ Jul 1st 2009 4:30PM
that was the best nonjoystiq image created in all of the world today. freakin awesome.
ilovethewaggle @ Jul 1st 2009 4:31PM
after six attempts, my avatar is still unchanged. Is there something special I have to do to get it to change? does it have to be a jpg, a bmp, what?!?! I NEED MY SCREAMING LADY ICON!!!!!!
Kadamon @ Jul 1st 2009 4:06PM
There's going to be tons of conversation over on wow.com for their variant of the post.
Also. Nice background. d(^_^d)
supersonic159 @ Jul 1st 2009 4:07PM
