According to the NPD, World of Warcraft has sold 8.6 million copies within the United States, this number includes all versions of the game and the expansions. Selling a million copies of a game across all regions is often seen as a sign of success, so to see it doing 8.6 million in just the United States shows you the true scope of the game’s popularity.According to the NPD, World of Warcraft has sold 8.6 million copies within the United... more

Overdos3 EP16 – La La Le La
I do say this is awesome. 16 episodes and still going strong. We have a new site and everything to go along with out great skills as podcasters… haha. Prepare yourself for a magical podcast filled with wizards, football, and space!
We start off this week’s episode with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. What did the Overdos3 fellows think about the movie? Frank then goes on to talk about the game based off the movie.
We then turn things over to our resident sport-o, Jimmy, who gives us the down low on NCAA Football 10.
Frank then takes the stage for a bit to talk about the new Monkey Island games, which includes the first episode of Telltale’s new series, and the remake of Monkey Island.
We then round out our game talk with a very brief run down of the monthly NPD numbers for June.
Tech is up next, as we have a talk about advances in the realm of energy and how we use it and make it.
We move on to buying things digitally. What do recent developments concerning digital purchases as simply buying ‘digital rights’ mean about how safe it is to buy digital?
Our final discussion is NASA’s ‘remastering’ of the moon landing tapes… which is actually NASA recompiling the moon landing tapes because one of the brainiacs over at NASA decided to tape over the original tapes.
This week’s awesomely bad song comes from a guy who thought his music was so good that it did not even need lyrics… just “la la la la la.”Overdos3 EP16 – La La Le La
