Kill The Vuvuzela With Stardock App

If you've had enough of the nine-cent horns that are practically ruining audio from the World Cup, check out the Devuvuzelator from Plymouth-based Stardock Corp.

Stardock, developer and publisher of upcoming strategy game Elemental: War of Magic, has released a new, free app for World Cup fans streaming the matches on their PCs. The Devuvuzelator is the only "run it and done" solution for cancelling out the sound of the popular vuvuzela horn heard during World Cup matches and requires no installation.

"We're huge soccer fans at Stardock and want to be able to enjoy the World Cup matches without the sound of the vuvuzela," said Jeff Bargmann, chief architect at Stardock. "This is by far the simplest de-vuvuzela app for the PC, just click it and go. That said, go U.S.A.!"

Stardock's next PC title, Elemental: War of Magic, is currently under development and will be released on August 24 alongside a novel, "Elemental: Destiny's Embers," published by Random House and written by the game's executive producer and CEO of Stardock, Brad Wardell.

Neither the game nor the novel feature soccer. No soccer players were harmed during the creation of this application.

Stardock's other PC games include Sins of a Solar Empire, the highest rated and best selling PC strategy game of 2008 as well as the critically acclaimed Galactic Civilizations series. Its desktop software includes Object Desktop, WindowBlinds, and a host of other programs for customizing the Windows experience.
