The Somewhat Ambitious

Yesterday’s copy of The Age turned up this particular gem of sordid nerddom. Hidden under the relatively innocuous title ‘Web of deceit leads to divorce’ there lies a charming tale of double crosses, illicit romance and private investigators. All of which just happened to occur in Second Life. I’ve said it before and I’ll say [...]

Yes, the zombie threat is over. Blizzard have announced that a cure has been found. More likely, however, enough people bitched about not being able to do quests and whatnot, and they caved, which is a shame because… well, because there was something so satisfying about being hunkered down on the top floor of an [...]

Yes, it’s true. Apparently feral druids are going to get some love in the upcoming content patch (Luke plays a feral, so maybe he’ll quit bitching about all and sundry.

If you’re like me, you’ve been jonesing for the next WOW content patch like Alan Quartermain craves opium. Turns out Blizzard have alluded to the patch coming out within the next week, by way of a background downloader, on account of how freaking huge it will be. Some of the new content will include:

I was recently perusing the Wowwiki article on Quilboar, a hostile race which populates a pocket of Kalimdor in World of Warcraft. let it never be said the developers don’t let real-world parallels creep in…
“The quilboar are a scattered people. After centuries of aggression against the tauren, the centaur, and any other species that stood [...]

THE WRATH OF THE LICH KING TRAILER IS OUT.
I won’t sully this moment with needless banter, just head to this link and watch it. Jonny, of Archaeus, recommended watching the trailer without pants. And I wholeheartedly concur.*
