Viking’s punter considers World of Warcraft name change
Mon, 01/5/09 – 10:09 | No Comment

Vikings Kicking Game FoootballFootball is not really known for having colorful characters. It has a few scary ones with prison records, and a few unfaithful ones with relationship issues that makes the press, but so far nothing that can be called amusingly colorful. It’s definitely gotten a reputation as a thug sport, so a little playfulness certainly wouldn’t hurt. One football punter may change all that if his recent interview can be believed.

It seems that punter for the American Football Conference team the Minnesota Vikings, Chris Kluwe, declared in a recent print interview that he loves World of Warcraft so much he might change his name to reflect it. It turns out it wasn’t totally his idea. Apparently his team mates know of his addiction to World of Warcraft (often playing as much as 6 hours a day) and have given him a World of Warcraft nick name as a joke, and he is just considering rolling with it, whether seriously or in jest no one knows.

Kluwe points out that other players have changed their names as well, including Chad “Ocho Cinco” Johnson, who took the nick name “Ocho Cinco” as his new name, but to take on the name of a video game would certainly make a splash. If he goes through with the hairbrained idea he would become Chris Warcraft, instead of Chris “Warcraft” Kluwe. He’d certainly make some endorsement money with a name like that!

He has been a lifelong gamer, riding a controller since the early age of 4. In World of Warcraft his character is a troll rogue, more specifically, a troll rogue on the Kil’jaeden server, if you want to keep an eye out for him and combine two of your favorite things, sports and gaming. The interview where he talked about his love of games was in the Star Tribune and in which Kotaku originally mentioned the interesting name change.

Legal Battles in Gaming Make for Game, Business, Law Summit

If this trend continues I believe we may very well all need law degrees simply to play the games we love so much. Digital gaming businesses need to juggle the demands of intellectual property, licensing, user-generated content, free speech, online ownership, revenue recognition, employee rights and new business opportunities.

The console war is full of very tough battles, with the top three manufacturers, Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony engaged in a bitter fight over each customer. Although this competition is filled with benefits for the people who buy these consoles, it seems that some of its results can also be used by the companies themselves.

Employers not hiring WoW, MMO or FPS gamers

Believe it or not, some employers frown on gamers, especially those who play FPS titles and MMORPGs. Many gamers realize this, and would rather not reveal their game playing habits just as porn addicts wouldn’t want to admit their sins to fellow church members.

A World of Warcraft theme for BlackBerry Curve. This would be more of a distraction than anything else since it will keep the user thinking about what they are going to do in World of Warcraft instead of concentrating on the task at hand.
