New Perky Pug animations

MMO Champion has dug up a few more animations for the already popular Perky Pug pet, which you will be able to obtain in patch 3.3 by running pickup groups with random players (the current guess on the pet is running with 100 random players, but of course we won’t know for sure until it [...]

Breakfast Topic: Did you meet your Pilgrims Bounty goals?

Thanks to an obliging (and naked) dwarf rogue in Dalaran, I was able to obtain my Pilgrim title without much trouble. Well, trying to get the Turkinator on the first day was definitely “much trouble”, but waiting a few days for Tirisfal Glades to empty out proved to be the less frustrating course.
For my alts, [...]

[1.Local]: What’s all that morrowgrain for, anyway?

Reader comments — ahh, yes, the juicy goodness following a meaty post. [1.Local] ducks past the swinging doors to see what readers have been chatting about in the back room over the past week.
You know, Archdruid Fandouche Toolhelm Fandral Staghelm sure does ask for a lot of Morrowgrain … So what’s up with that?
Shade: He [...]

Dual spec issues and how to fix them

Filed under: Bugs, Talents
Dual spec is very handy, and I’ve already started relying on it for increased flexibility in setting up my 10-man raids. However, as may be expected with a new feature, it is not without its bugs. From extra talent points to missing talent points to things not switching correctly when you swap [...]

The Colosseum: Celestior of Mal’Ganis

The Colosseum takes us inside the world of the Gladiator (Brutal, Vengeful, Merciless, Furious, and otherwise), to interview some of the top Arena fighters in the battlegroups. Our goal is to bring a better understanding of the strategy, makeup, and work that goes into dueling it out for fame, fortune, and Frostwyrms. We’re especially focused [...]

Author of World of Warcraft and Philosophy interviewed

World of Warcraft and Philosophy got released a little while back — it’s a book by Luke Cuddy and John Nordlinger that examines WoW-related topics like roleplaying and the Corrupted Blood plague, and ties them into philsophical ideas and thinking. TechFlash has now posted an interview with Nordlinger, and it’s a good read as [...]

The OverAchiever: The Keymaster

Hot on the heels of a much larger achievement we’ve recently covered (Twenty-Five Tabards), I’ve decided to do The Keymaster in this article for two reasons:

I recently watched Ghostbusters.
Do I need another reason?

Actually, the other reason is that if you’ve done Twenty-Five Tabards, Keymaster is usually pretty easy because you’ve likely got some Burning [...]

Sunday Morning Funnies: The absurdity of it all

All I can say is, “Mmm, gnome brain.”

Dark Legacy Comics: Gnome Brain.
Teh Gladiators: They Come to Disturb Our Peace.
NPC: Asil’s Question. Kitties never learn though do they? Appreciation. I especially love this next one: Ahem.
Daily Quests: Hell Hath No Fury.
LFG #307 and #308.
Dungeons and Draenei: 2012 WoW.
Beyond the Tree: An Unfriendly Reception.
Check out the [...]

Around Azeroth: Up where we belong

Has this feature suddenly been turned into Around Arkham Asylum? Not quite, although I might be game for an Around Rapture feature sometime in mid-February. This max-distance shot of the mage quarters in Stormwind, submitted by Wrezolution of Twilight’s Hammer-EU, is indeed startlingly reminiscent of something you’d see while dressed in a cape and hanging [...]

Breakfast Topic: Why aren’t you playing ____?

All of the recent discussion surrounding what people are planning for their Worgen and Goblin characters got me to thinking about the ingame races that just don’t get that kind of love. It’s no secret that certain race/class combinations are underplayed (witness, for example, the ingame hell of finding a Dwarf or Orc rogue for [...]
