After I got done with the character creator last night, I spent an hour or so exploring the Goblin starting zone. I’m playing my Ben Stiller mage and got up to level 5 before logging off. Bear this in mind as we go on. I titled this post “Goblin Starting Zone” instead of “Goblin Starting …

Ben Stiller Invades World of Warcraft: Cataclysm!
Okay, so I decided to roll a goblin late last night. As I’m going through the character creator something strikes me: I can’t be the only one that sees this. Hah, happy Monday, folks!
Two Cataclysm Beta Videos
Hi Guys, Short post for now. I finished up the Worgen introduction and was surprised to find that it got even better. At one point, you’re blasting at dozens of enemies with a cannon. Ones that get too close get blown backwards. The introduction is by far the best I’ve played in an MMO. I’m …

Though exceptionally quiet (not a word spoke until the final boss was downed), it was a good run; quick and easy. I was able …
Re-subbing to WoW and Cataclysm Plans
The Problem I’ve been torn these past couple of days on which direction I should take my MMOing. I’ve been having a lot of fun in LotRO recently so I don’t plan on leaving it out to dry. Still, for some reason I go through periods of drought in that game. If my fun level …

Will Cataclysm Last Long Enough?
Heading into the weekend, I like to leave us with a bit of speculation to mull over. Everyone’s excited for Cataclysm, right? It’s Blizzard’s most ambitious expansion yet and plans to reshape to legacy game we’ve come to know so well. It’s also planning on adding five extra levels to the end game and launch …
