It looks like we weren’t the first to think that the DigiCube MIDPhone-50 looked awfully familiar. The Psion Series 5 PDA, you may recall, featured the same sliding-clamshell design back in 1995 — and its still a beloved gadget among many folks overseas (though it never really caught on here).

Let’s see, there’s the human race, the nomadic warrior race, the mystical forest people race, the big ugly race, and the miniature race. Looks like all the MMORPG archetypes are covered! Fine, there’s a bit more lore contained within the above trailer for Guild Wars 2 , which explains all the motivations and backstories for each of the game’s five races.
