For the Blizzard! - Image 1Guess who has a new job opening today! We came across a job listing on the World of Warcraft forums today, and Blizzard is looking for a new web designer to help them with their upcoming sites.

According to the announcement, Blizzard's ideal candidate for the job must possess the following:

The ideal candidate is well versed in HTML, JavaScript, and Photoshop and experienced in all manner of web-design elements, such as the design and layout of buttons, links, menus, and text.


The Web Designer's primary duties will be to help design and implement the HTML pages for our growing websites. A lot of focus will be spent on supporting existing and future Blizzard titles. The Web Designer will also be responsible for daily web updates and maintenance of existing Blizzard sites. The ideal candidate will also have a strong working knowledge of Blizzard games.


Not only do you get to work the world's best MMO, but you also get a sneak peak into the latest games just by association. Sounds like a great way to get into the games industry! In any case, we're linking you to the application in case you're interested. Why not give them your resume and see what happens?

Talent treeLet us not kid ourselves anymore, things right now for World of Warcraft are a little messed up. Fans are complaining about certain changes. Blizzard, on the other hand, is trying its best to explain its actions. While this had happened countless of times before, this new series of debacles can actually be attributed to the patch, Before the Storm.

Anyway, instead of complaining nonstop, some players have decided to just make fun of the situation and probably make the best out of it. There is this one online site, Unleashed Gaming, that features a JavaScript setup allowing players to come up with their own talent trees.

Surprisingly, some players are taking this seriously. They came up with a talent tree that bears fruits which every player would die to have. On the contrary, a handful of players use the feature to vent out their frustrations, ultimately mocking the game's developer. Take for example these mock up Priest talents:
  • Wand Specialization: Makes your crappy wand damage 5% less crappy
  • Vampiric Touch: You touch the target which really creeps them out, man! Totally not cool.
  • Holy Beach: Allows Priest to watch old reruns of Baywatch.
Now, we've just pick out those we think we can share with you. Some are absolutely funny while others are just down right nasty. We hope Blizzard finally comes up with something to abate players' growing dissatisfaction.
