Remember a while back when I brought you all the heartwarming story of Blizzard's good deeds toward a young World of Warcraft fan whose HP was being sapped by cancer? It gets better!
WoW Insider, the only member of the Joystiq family sans drool bib, brings word of Blizzard's final gift for young Ezra Chatterton, a world first epic mount. The mount, a burning phoenix, has long been rumored to exist in-game, but until it was presented to Ezra, no one had been able to find it via legal means. The phoenix (pictured above) trumps almost everything Blizzard could have possibly given him (with the possible exception of Falcor), and proves, once again, that Blizzard is the sort of company you could take home to mother.
Not at all like that slut Smilebit ...

for those of you that didn't. they discuss about how when you "beat" a game like EQ2 or WoW you die. it's horrible i know.
just listened to it, and I am utterly shocked that you can't win teh haloes.
More importantly (and that is meant with all possible respect to the young guy with cancer): We need another Jet Set/Grind Radio game. Why did none of you worthless peons buy it first and/or second time round?
Granted, no public relations department in the world wouldn't use this to the company's advantage, but at its core I firmly believe this gesture was driven by nothing but noble intentions.
Okay, that's fucked up even for me. It's awesome that Blizzard is making this kid's remaining time rad, at least in Azeroth.
i suppose it does have connotations of being a bit smarmy by blizzard but look at it like this
a dying kid got to have a great time and all because blizzard took pity on this poor kid.
no 2 ways it can be pervieved as public relations gold but so what
FOR GODS SAKE THINK OF THE CHILDREN
ive got a bad leg do i get free stuff to ?????
In other news, considering I have never even touched a copy of WoW, I can still see that this is an amazing thing for Blizzard to do for a child in need. Go them.
I am so so sorry
