The summer game-pop culture convention season is in full swing in the US and it will end on Labor Day weekend with Penny Arcade Expo 2009. Today the organizers of the largest video-PC game convention in the US announced that legendary game creator Ron Gilbert will be making the keynote speech at PAX 2009 in Seattle, Washington.

Gilbert is best known as the main designer behind the classic LucasArts adventure games Maniac Mansion and the first two Monkey Island games (the latter of which is being revived). Currently he is a design director at Hothead Games (the same folks who created the first two episodes in the Penny Arcade Adventures downloadable titles) where he is working on the long-in-developnment game Deathspank. PAX 2009 will be held Sept 4-6.

It looks like once you are a Horde or an Alliance member, you are not one of them "all the way", at least not after Blizzard makes some changes to their hit MMO World of Warcraft. Our sister site WoW.com has posted up word that Blizzard is planning to offer a service in the future that will allow players to have their characters switch factions.

Blizzard is giving players an early heads-up on this new feature because "you may be seeing bits and pieces of the service in the test builds we use for the public test realms moving forward." However Blizzard admits that this feature may be a ways off from being implemented because "we plan to take the time needed to ensure that it lives up to expectations before officially rolling it out." We are betting that this feature will also cost some extra cash but so far there's been no official word on that from Blizzard.
