Man from Taiwan first to complete World of Warcraft?
Usually, you can’t really beat an MMORPG. Sure, you can complete all the quests, get the best gear and so on but there isn’t really an ending, per say. However, it seems that a Taiwanese man with a character that goes by the name of Little Gray has claimed to be the first person to ever complete World of Warcraft.
This means he has completed all 986 achievements, killed 390,895 cereatures, racked up 7,255,538,878 damage points, completed 5,906 quests and raided 405 dungeons.
Now if only we know how many days/months he put into the game, that’d give us a real kick.

Duke Nukem Forever dev team reaches milestone
It seems that Duke Nukem is taking Forever is getting closer and closer to completetion. George Broussard, a member of the development team over at 3D Realms, has recently revealed via Twitter that the team has surpassed a milestone this week:
Closing out a milestone this week. 71 more tasks to do and we started with probably 800-900. Been a good push. Next one starts Monday.
71 more to go, huh? Well let’s see, the game was announced in April of 1997 which means it has been in development for about 12 years now. If we go by what Mr. Bourssard is saying by starting off with 800-900 tasks, we can calculate that the team has completed about 70 tasks per year. So, if they keep it up, we might actually be seeing Duke Nukem Forever hit shelves sometime within the next 2 years. Then again, probably not.
