The New York Times has brought its journalistic bear to the story earlier this week about China deciding not to approve WoW’s release over there under new service provider Netease, and it seems what we thought was confusion between two agencies has turned into a war. One one side, you have the General Administration of [...]
Our podcast returns to the virtual airwaves this afternoon and if you were watching our Twitter feed this week, you’d know the big news: Christian Belt has decided to come and join us. Not that we’re not fans of all of our bloggers, but he’s been one of the most requested voices on the show [...]
Another long, tedious work-week has come and gone, leaving us two blissful, uninterrupted days to catch up on our WoW-playing. So… Torchlight? Dragon Age? Since I know we’re all serious WoW junkies, these must be new zones I haven’t heard of. Perhaps something on the PTR? I clearly need figure this out, as some of [...]
Brewmaster Urdla of <Emporium> on Lothar-EU writes in to tell us of a strange series of events that recently befell her character. “First a near-fatal teleport mishap made her dark side shine through,” Urdla wrote. “Then her Orb of the Sin’dorei added some more evil female grace by turning her into one of those arcane-addicted [...]

The video’s got a few [...]
It was only a matter of time before Blizzard gave us another pre-expansion gold sink, and here it is, ladies and gentlemen. Haris Pilton, Shattrath socialite, has once again started selling her limited-edition accessories, and this time she’s expanded her line with the Portable Hole, a 24-slot BOE bag.
The bag is currently available on the [...]
Righteous Defense lays out an intriguing argument for an idea that I still personally can’t get behind: paladin stances. The recent changes around patch 3.3 have shined a light on paladin versatility, and basically, paladins are forced to pay the hybrid tax three times over — because they can do it all without limiting themselves, [...]
This is fascinating stuff to think about over the weekend — New Scientist has an article (sent to us by quite a few readers — thanks!) about how we perceive our virtual selves in video games like World of Warcraft. A group of scientists at Dartmouth University hooked a few WoW players up to an [...]
