Elitist Jerks and Opera

Friday, June 19, 2009 9:31:21 AM

Gaming is a popular activity for a lot of people. Some gamers raise the bar how good you can get and in "World of Warcaft", these players make up "Elitist Jerks", probably the best theorycrafting Web site in the world.

“Opera knows that the vehicle for online gaming is the browser, so why not make the browser a part of the game?” says Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. “Gaming is something we have always taken very seriously, and by creating a custom browser for gamers, we hope to make their online adventures even better.”

The browser for the Elitist Jerks community is filled with numerous customized features, including a pre-set Speed Dial complete with important theorycrafting sites, selected RSS feeds and an array of helpful, built-in bookmarks. Elitist Jerks members or fans will feel right at home, as the skin and layout are designed to match the look and feel of their Online community Web site.

“It’s a thrill to finally have our own Elitist Jerks browser. Our community members have worked hard to build our site into the success it is today, and it is great to get the recognition from Opera who provided us a custom-made browser to enhance the overall experience,” said Andrew Hunn aka Boethius from the Elitist Jerks community.

how about some special editions for the large browser games, where a good configuration of your browser with all the important tools in the right place, tab windows with redirected link-openers (where's that feature gone to anyways?) and the like? This can not only save much time and effort in many browsergames, but also bandwidth.

This is so awesome. I'm an ex-WoW player and a huge fan of the EJ community, as well as Opera. Just seeing these two together is so fun bigsmile

What games are you thinking about? I remember playing planetarion way back in the days, is that still alive? (Just saved myself a google search :P)

KryptoKnightAleksOD Tuesday, June 23, 2009 4:03:58 PM

@amnith Yes, I can understand that, I love Tyrael! wink

@Nerak Hmm... you may be quite right. I believe the law of loving just one video game is compromised p
