We all know that MMos are addictive, but you have to really be devoted to shell out $15K to play one on a giant screen. That’s what this guy did. He payed $15,000 to use a giant screen in Beijing to play a MMO. The screen was 820 feet long and he sat in a deck chair playing the game and looking up. Hopefully he was happy with the purchase.

The story behind it is that this guy was not happy that a competing guildmaster got to play in an IMAX theater. So this likely outdoes the other guy. At least we hope so. We’d hate to see them in some long drawn out screen war.

If you own a SteelSeries Shift keyboard, then chances are that your game is on it’s A level. And with World of Warcraft: Cataclysm just three weeks away from release, SteelSeries has rolled out an MMO keyset that lets you enjoy the game without having to fork out more dough for another dedicated MMO keyboard.

If you already own the Shift keyboard, this is a great option. It will be compatible with all of the macros you programmed. For $24.99 instead of a new mmo keyboard price.

The latest keyboard to enter the MMO market from Razer is the Anansi. It looks like a typical jet black board with a standard layout, but those seven thumb modifier keys will raise your game. There’s also over 100 programmable Hyperesponse keys with on-the-fly macro recording.

Aside from that you get storage for up to 20 gaming profiles, five bonus gaming keys and 16 million color backlight illumination. It ships worldwide in December for $99.99.

A Microsoft job listing seems to hint that the company is working both on the successor to the Xbox 360 and a massively multi-player online game (MMO) capable of hosting 300,000 players all at a time.

The advertisement reads: “Microsoft Games Studios is looking for experienced game developers to work on next generation Xbox platform titles and Windows games.” Specifically, Microsoft Game Studios is looking for: “an experienced server developer to help develop our server architecture. We are building an extremely high performance system to extend console games to the server in new ways; creating a completely new set of web services to support dynamic programming information of games and scheduling data.” And that’s not all, Microsoft is currently “building a backend capable of hosting a 300,000 player game in real-time with real money on the line (anti-cheating, etc).”

I have played my share of MMORPG games. I tried World of Warcraft a few times, but the fantasy game isn’t my favorite genre and I just didn’t get into the game that much. I have often wished for a good MMO shooter, obviously PlanetSide doesn’t count.

THQ has announced that it will be launching a new MMO shooter called CrimeCraft. The game is set for pre-order in stores on June 7. CrimeCraft is a game that allows players to found their own gang and fight to destroy rival gangs.

Wrath of the Lich King is coming and SteelSeries wants to make sure you drop out of the human race for a good long time. The mouse features 15 programmable buttons and a new in-game configuration utility that lets you graphically assign the buttons where you need them and save different profiles. You can also choose what color you want those LEDs down the back to be.The laser mouse will be available on November 13th to coincide with the Lich King launch, for “under $100.”
