This is from the G4 website. Blizzard is thinking a little farther into the future here:
Blizzard said that they already have plans for future expansions of World of Warcraft even before the release of Wrath of the Lich King this fall, according to an interview with VG247. Lead designer Tom Chilton said:
“We actually already have ideas on how we’re going to expand on that in the future,†Chilton told us when asked if more land was going to be added to the game…
Well, I do. Now this guys says he does, but I have my doubts. Check out this killer video on Rogue’s Eye View: Rogue Movie Weekend: I Suck At PvP
By the way, the hero of the movie is a Frost Mage, not a Rogue.
Looks like the racial abilities for all the WoW races are being tinkered with. Spooncraft has some info on this. Always keep in mind that this is in beta and nothing is set in stone, yet.
So I finally logged back into the [tag-tec]Wrath Beta[/tag-tec] yesterday.
Hmmm… all my Death Night talents have been reset. Of course talent tweaking and shifting is to be expected in a beta and it gave me a free reset, so what the heck. Still blood, but maybe a tad more efficient.
Hmmm… Mission: Gateways (one of the earliest Hellfire quests) seems to have caught a little bug… Hop on the flying beastie, line up for the bombing run, get glued to the ground with no control, and what’s this? We seem to be glued to the ankles of this 20′ tall demon thing? Who doesn’t even know we’re there?
Hmmm, there’s four of us here, all glued to his ankles. Couple of Allies, and Undead, and me, All DKs. Ok, wait, he’s wandered off and we’re not moving. Whoosh! Ok, we’re all back on his ankles.
Alt 4f (exit game) in hoped of canceling this quest. Log back in, still glued to his ankles, server goes down.
Log in later. Ok, I’m flying back to the beastie dude. Try again? Sure, maybe it was just a one time thing (that affected several others?) Coming in for a bombing run and… ankles again.
Alt-f4.
Log back in, flying back to beastie guy. Ok, let’s try this: Go on a bombing run and just enjoy the ride. That works, no ankles, fly back and hand in the beast.
Try again, this time with bombs. No ankles, but can’t score with bombs. I know, put the green targeting field on the teleporter and drop the bomb (I have done this on another character.)
Nope. Nogo. 6 more tries, no teleporters destroyed. Oops, back to the ankles, but this time I’m somehow kicked loose. Fly back, hand in beast, and log.

A couple of weeks ago CNN published an interesting article on Kids and [tag-tec]video games[/tag-tec].
Researchers who gathered in Boston for the American Psychological Association convention detailed a series of studies suggesting video games can be powerful learning tools — from increasing younger students’ problem-solving potential to improving the suturing skills of laparoscopic surgeons.
One study even looked at whether playing “World of Warcraft,” the world’s biggest multiplayer online game, can improve scientific thinking.
Ok, I’m sure we can all say, “Lolwut??” in unison here, given what frequently passes for discussion in the World of Warcraft. Still, it’s a pretty good article and you’ll learn why you might want to ask your surgeon if he or she plays video games.
On a more serious note: our younger boy got a solid grasp on certain math skills as he tried to tweek every last bit of efficiency out of his characters in WoW and other games.
Here’s the story: Video games help kids learn, experts say
Hey you, Social Media User! Are you properly protected?
San Diego’s Gary Gallywhagger, father of four, reports open sores after promiscuous poking on Facebook.
“I’m a good father, make an honest living as an online marketer, and then this happens,†says Gallywhagger. “I was just poking around for fun. I seem to have the worst luck.â€
Gallywhagger claims his friends pressured him into adding application after application and poking him and poking him. “I tried to say no but they kept pressuring me.â€
A recent study released by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention,) the nation’s leading authority for credible health information, cited one out of six men over the age 40 are at risk for…
