While I’m laid up with whatever foul biological timebomb my daughter caught at school, I thought I’d take a break from playing long enough to share some Cheer.  Anyone can go with classics like Bing Crosby or Burl Ives, or they can go with cheesy novelty songs like “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer”.  It takes a really sick individual to put some Heavy Metal spin on a timeless favorite.

Hi, have we met?

I know this is a shock to most of you, but I went ahead and pre-ordered Cataclysm today.  For those of you who are considering doing the same, I’d suggest getting the digital download from Blizzard.  You can download the data files now, and be ready to go live the second the switch is flipped on December 7. (You know… after 24 hours of patching and emergency bug fixes.)

The good news is.  If you’re looking for me between December 7 and December 12, I will be very easy to find.  The bad news is, if you send an email, I probably won’t see it.  If you call, you will only hear grunting… and maybe the occasional “MORE HOT POCKETS!

 

Well, not literally…

With the recent 4.0.1 patch to World of Warcraft yesterday, a lot of the new functionality for spells and talents has been implemented.  You can throw a rock and hit a website with commentary on the changes, but suffice to say that if you haven’t updated your addons in a while, you’re going to be in for a rude awakening when you next log in.

Be prepared for:

  • Your talents are all reset
  • None of your addons will work correctly
  • Your spells don’t do what they did before.
  • Stat changes are in place (no more spell hit or defense, etc)
  • Your gems are all different (and will almost certainly need to be replaced)

Between Reforging and Re-Gemming my items, I spent around 4k gold last night. (In fairness, I did a bit of theorycrafting)  You’ve been warned.

 

We’re back!  Grim’s voice has returned to normal (much to the dismay of ladies everywhere, I’m sure) and Krystalle has finally mustered the strength to try and keep him in line again.

This week’s (sic) covers all sorts of fun stuff.

  • SIEGE Con – Grim goes to a convention which doesn’t require him to work.  Will he survive?
  • World of Darkness – Watch Krystalle nearly pass out from the Squee.
  • is making some changes for next year.
  • is dropping on December 7th.  Grim expecting to get “sick” that week.
  • is looking for a few good staffers. (Yes, we’re serious)
  • and the proverbial.. “Much Much MORE!”
 

It is coming.

December 7th, 2010.  A day which will live in infamy as geeks all over the world come down with the same mysterious illness.  World of  Warcraft junkies of the world, get your shopping done early.  Rumor has it that the game will be available for digital download as well as in the more traditional box format.  Regular edition will cost 39.99, and the Collector’s Edition will run 79.99.
