China's illegal theme park
« Reply #530 on: January 16, 2013, 04:15:32 PM »
Seems China really doesn't care about copy rights. They built a World of Warcraft theme park without Blizzards premission. Thad you should go check it out before it gets shut down.

You've been sucked out of the airlock into the black. Roll all the dice on the table for damage.

Those are some big-ass statues. If the place does get shut down, can Blizzard auction those off because my backyard would look amazing with a giant Warrior in it, towering over my house.

i came across this quite by accident:  there is a play called "Sleep No More" where the audience wears a mask and is told to not speak and has all their communication devices taken from them.  then they are let loose in the area where the play is happening and different things are happening with different characters in different parts of the play area.

it sounds a bit like 'Carcosa' and a bit like this is what happens when RPG's go pro

here is a youtube taste

Double fodder here: http://www.thejournal.ie/heat-from-cities-affects-weather-771590-Jan2013/

The weather angle is very interesting. However, let's change weather with magic. Imagine a city polluted with magic, how long would the residual magic continue to affect the surrounding countryside and how far would it extend.

Drug smugglers also smuggle ancient artifacts: http://www.wfaa.com/news/world/190484501.html

Pitch (COC/DG): Drug smugglers get their hands on some pre-Columbian artifacts and attempt to smuggle them into the US. In the process, they become corrupted. Corrupted smugglers then meet up with border guard and mythos-magic-gunfight ensues. Game must include a UAV border drone.
