Azeroth Choppers Episode 1 Is Now Live

So a few days ago we reported that Blizzard had recently launched a reality series of their own called Azeroth Choppers. Basically what the show is about is that it will part some of the World of Warcraft developers, artists, and producers, against each other in a Horde versus Alliance scenario where both teams get to design a custom motorcycle.

The goal is to create the motorcycle with a theme related to the World of Warcraft universe and the factions (Horde and Alliance) respectively, and the best chopper, as voted by fans, will win and have their design immortalized in the game. It sounds like a pretty cool idea and if you wanted to check it out, the first episode in the webseries has been launched.

New episodes will be aired every week and they will be available to watch on Blizzard’s website. The first episode isn’t particularly long and clocks in just under 10 minutes, but if you’re a fan of World of Warcraft and want to check out some other aspects of the game, perhaps this could be a nice 10 minute break for you guys.

As it stands motorcycles in the game are crafted by engineers and they are admittedly pretty cool and a nice change from all the mystical creatures that players are allowed to ride. Given that one of the members taking part in the contest is Blizzard’s artist, Sam Didier, we expect we can look forward to some pretty cool artwork. In any case without further ado, check out the first episode in Azeroth Choppers in the video above.

Additional iPhone 6 Concept Renders Surface

Additional iPhone 6 Concept Renders SurfaceIt’s only April but yet we’ve come across a fair amount of leaks, rumors, and alleged photos that supposedly shows off what we can expect from the next-gen iPhone. Of course none of this can be officially confirmed right now but thanks to the folks at French website, Nowhereelse.fr, they have teamed up with renowned designed Martin Hajek to create some additional concept images of what the next-gen iPhone could look like in a case.

As you can see in the image above, the design looks more or less the same as per previous designs, which we guess are mostly based on the allegedly leaked schematics of the iPhone. However this time it shows what the phone could look like if it were kept in a case and it is a pretty sleek affair.

In fact it seems that the schematics are showing off a design that is reminiscent of the design of the iPad Air and iPad mini which once again is a good thing as both devices are pretty sleek and have a very slim profile. The rendering and the cases also shows off the possible relocation of the power/wake button which has been moved to the right hand side of the phone, versus the top right hand corner.

Other than that it’s pretty much what we’ve come to expect from the iPhone so far. Of course there’s no way of telling if Apple will really design the phone to look like the renderings, but we can only hope that they do, or perhaps they might even surprise us with something better. In the meantime what do you guys make of these designs?
