Bejeweled, Warcraft Combine to Form World's Most Addictive Game

Not only have they implemented one of the world's most addictive games inside *another* of the world's most addictive games -- itself a tremendously great hack -- they have actually gone the extra mile to integrate the two for extra-synergistic addiction. The in-WoW Bejeweled can be set to pop up automatically whenever you get on a flight path. It tracks high scores across your guild. It lets you level up your Bejeweled skill as if it was a standard WoW tradeskill. There are even, god help us all, Achievements.

I'm not sure if this is the best or worst thing ever. Maybe both...

I thought this was an Onion headline at first. That's hilarious!

*twitch* But FPs are when I minimize WoW and get to check the REST of the things I look at online, like my adult content sites! Whatever shall I do now??

(This was mostly posted for the sake of humor, I don't like bejewled very much.)

What's really cool is that it was originally a project put together by some random WoW player. Instead of sending him a cease and desist, Popcap hired him to polish it!
