Fnatic picked up Clan Go in a move restoring their status in the Warcraft III world. Clan Go has had trouble finding a stable organization in the past, parting ways with NoA after their absence from the NGL-One Finals. Fnatic had to separate from its Warcraft III team not too long ago, creating a mutual interest for both teams.

Focus and Shy rejoin Clan Go after some time at MYM. Both players are top notch and produce great results, bolstering the team’s status even more. Unfortunately, Ohjie was pulled into the Korean military. Expect some good results now, with Clan Go backed by a great sponsor and with a great lineup.

Their current roster:

  • fnatic.Shy
  • fnatic.FoCuS
  • fnatic.Space
  • fnatic.MinHyuk
  • fnatic.Kei
  • fnatic.YanGe


Today EA announced a release date for Dead Space. Predictably, Dead Space will be arriving Oct. 31, Halloween. This apples only to the PS3 and Xbox 360 version; there has been no word on a release date for the PC.

Personally I can’t wait for this game. I have always had a thing for survival-horror games, however the classic zombies and mansions are getting kind of old. Hopefully space is just what the genre needed. Until Halloween, I guess I’ll just have to follow the comics to tide me over.

Okay, not really. The best year ever for geeks was 1977, because Star Wars, Close Encounters and the Atari 2600 all came out that year.

But it was a really good year to be a geek. Here are some of the top events, in no particular order, that made 2007 great. Continued…



Lord British, your head is on fire!Richard “Lord British” Garriott, the World’s Greatest Game Designer (sorry, Cliffy B), announced today he will be the first gamer in space.

The designer of the Ultima Series, Ultima Online and Tabula Rasa will visit the International Space Station in Fall 2008, as part of NASA’s Space Adventures program.

Garriott will travel to the space station on the 100th Soyuz mission, TMA-13.

Other millionaires who have signed on space journeys include Santhosh George Kulangara from India (via Virgin Galactic) and Daisuke Enomoto of Japan.

Garriot’s father, Owen Garriott, is a former NASA astronaut who participated in such missions as Skylab and Spacelab-1 in the 1970s and ‘80s.
