If you’ve ever rolled a Goblin in the World of Warcraft and played through their starting area where Deathwing descends to erupt Mount Kezan after getting hit with a football (Or at least that is my interpretation of events) you’ll get a cutscene after boarding the ship to get the heck off the island where… Read More Leave No Witnesses: The Lost Isles SI:7 Mystery
If there was anything that I could honestly say that Cataclysm did that I loved, it was advance the storyline for the entire world. Well, the old world at least. There’s still some timey wimey whatever stuff going on in Outland and Northrend – but this isn’t about that. No, this post is about the… Read More Food for Thought: The Rebirth of the Sin’dorei

You must unlearn what you have learned. – Some puppet in a movie Like some untold horror from ages past, it looms over us as we bask in its ever darkening shadow as it approaches. The excitement builds to an unappeasable boil and those who have glimpsed the madness to come eagerly prepare for its… Read More Back to Square One: The Expansion Shuffle
Well, since I plan on rolling a paladin of the large cow variety when Cataclysm drops, I’ve actually been keeping an eye on what the developers have been doing with the paladin class.

Dear Blizzard Entertainment, I recently saw that you plan to include attunements in the upcoming Cataclysm expansion. What an amazing decision! I know nothing is quite set in stone yet for Cataclysm, after all you’ve just started with all the testing and such, and I know you haven’t even said how you will use attunements… Read More Dear Blizz: Attunements
