Level up the easy way in Dragon Quest X with $1,000 PC

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments

A new PC is surfacing on auction sites that allows Dragon Quest X players to quickly level up. The hardware possesses a special macro that puts your character on autopilot for a few days. It does the work for you… cheating, essentially.

Here’s the crazy part about this: the PC is going for $1,000. Some Japanese Dragon Quest X users have already purchased and used it just to level up their characters.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t ever see myself spending $1,000 on a game like that.

Activision has no plans for Skylanders TV show or movie

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments

Skylanders has been a massive success in the video game space, but Activision has no plans to bring the IP to other entertainment areas. Activision’s VP of consumer marketing John Coyne told MCV that the company isn’t considering a TV show or movie at the moment.

He said:

“Kids, when they see the new toys, it is a new form of content for them. My own son, when he gets a new Giant, he naturally wants to go and play levels he has already played, but with a new character to see what it can do. In terms of a TV show or a movie, no there are not any plans. We believe the game is the entertainment. You talk to kids who are real fans of the franchise, and they will be able to tell you Gill Grunt’s powers, backstory, what his friends are and generally what’s going on in the world of Skylanders. The same sort of things that they are able to articulate around a TV show or a movie.”

VP of Activision’s business unit Joshua Taub also said: “The video game is the movie.”
