Dallas, Texas. In a major surprise to pundits and journalists, former President George W. Bush announced today that, after his current tour as a motivational speaker, he will be competing professionally on the Major League Gaming circuit.

There is another big title to add to this list beginning in just a few short days. Monster Energy Drink has teamed up with what many consider to be the biggest title of 2009, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, to bring a not new branded drink called “Assault” to gamers. In addition to the branding on the packaging, fans will have the opportunity win prizes from COD:MW 2 and Monster.

Some of best gamers in the world are throwing down this weekend in Dallas. There’s carnage in Halo 3, Gears of War 2, and World of Warcraft.

World of Warcraft the Breakfast Cereal!

My comments are exhausted by the above video. (Just ribbin’ ya a bit, Blizzard.)

BlizzCon 2009, on August 21-22, will close with Ozzy Osbourne rockin’ the Anaheim Convention Center.

Descending upon Gen Con Indy 2009, Warhammer will make an appearance from August 13th-16th. Fans can meet the developers and discuss about the recently released Tomb Kings-themed dungeon zone, the Land of the Dead.

There are ten all-new World of Warcraft-themed Peggle levels – available for free at www.popcap.com/promos/pegglewow.

Man, I was really hoping for a Call of Duty: World at War theme or maybe even Saints Row 2. How about Fallout 3?

Today’s PWN or DIE Daily Blast gives us a walk down memory lane with the Nintendo Gameboy, celebs that play WOW, cheap Best Buy games, and new character news for a couple of big games. Our shout out for the day goes to Kotaku, a good source of gaming news every day of the week.

Recently PWN or DIE joined the ranks of websites that have compiled a list of hot gaming women, compiling every famous pretty face we could find that has at least held a video game controller one time in their life. Our search yielded a wide range of celebrity gamers that ranged from the casual gamers like Megan Fox and Kim Kardashian, to the dedicated World of Warcraft fanatics like Mila Kunis and Kate Ground (Kate’s Playground).

You may remember us telling you about a service called “You Play or We Pay” that compensated World of Warcraft players that experienced lagged gaming or server downtime. The concept has been similar to insurance in that it paying a monthly premium would “cover” gamers in the event that they are unable to play WOW due to degraded service.
