Happy Birthday Disciples of Gaming

On Thursday, December 1, 2011, Disciples of Gaming will officially celebrate its 5th birthday. It's with many great memories under our belt that we wish every member of Disciples of Gaming a happy birthday and well wishes in the coming year towards making this the ultimate gaming community.

It was back in 2006 that Disciples of Gaming ushered into the Xbox gaming scene with a launch of several branches in Halo 2. Those days seem like another lifetime entirely. The face of gaming has changed significantly, even in the last year alone. We continue to expand and grow with each new game release and look forward to the future.

Gaming can make a better world

Games like World of Warcraft give players the means to save worlds, and incentive to learn the habits of heroes. What if we could harness this gamer power to solve real-world problems? In the best-designed games, our human experience is optimized: We have important work to do, we're surrounded by potential collaborators, and we learn quickly and in a low-risk environment. Game designers are now focusing on improving the way we learn, work, solve problems, and lead our real lives through playing video games.

Jane McGonigal, a game designer with the Institute for the Future, says we can, and explains how. Watch the video here.

Call of Duty Elite Costs $49.99

Towards the end of the Call of Duty XP keynote, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg detailed what Call of Duty Elite subscribers will get and how much it will cost.

The most important feature is access to all of that year's downloadable content. Not only will subscribers get access, they'll own the content so it doesn't disappear should the subscription come to an end. Given that four DLC releases over the course of a year would normally cost $60, this is immediately a good deal for any frequent DLC buyers.
