Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Breakfast topics, Expansions, Wrath of the Lich King It's a full week after the record-breaking Wrath of the Lich King. How has it been so far? Did it all go according to plan? If you're like most players I know, you had a plan going into the expansion. Personal targets, maybe, or things you were looking forward to doing and achieving. Some of you might even have been your Realm's ...

I do too -- I think our show has definitely come into its own, but at this point, there's just a scheduling conflict keeping us apart (Turpster's new show is recorded at exactly the same time as ours). Worry not, however, because whenever we can, we'll ...

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Fan stuff, Blizzard, Making money, Wrath of the Lich KingUnfortunately, as of this writing, Blizzard hasn't yet released actual numbers for Wrath sales last week (we were expecting around two million, but we'll see what they say eventually). But that won't stop us from guessing -- the list of top ten games sold last week in the UK is out, and Wrath... is number two.That's right -- Activision's own Call ...

Thanks WSU.edu and Mark J. Berry Trade Chat and General Chat are certainly odd beasts. I consider Trade Chat to be one of the most mistreated features in World of Warcraft, as it is hardly ever used for its purpose, facilitating the buying and selling of goods. More often than not I simply ignore the channel all together in an attempt to save my intelligence and sanity. General Chat, well, that can be forgiven for ...

Now that the federal government is teetering on the verge of its first budget deficit in a decade, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty is publicly considering the possibility of selling off the CN Tower to help balance the books—and pay for Prime Minister Harper's still-planned tax cuts. The building, until last year the world's tallest freestanding structure, is owned by Canada Lands Company, a crown corporation. Flaherty's musing should not come as a surprise to local ...

I love Jim, I'm a big Jim fan. But the Eves exit deficit (that McGuinty pissed and moaned about so much) came by and large because we relied on selling capital assets. We should be very careful on funding spending on the backs of capital goods.

The Line As We Approach Launch I pulled up to Gamestop last night just after 10:15 PM to see about fifteen people milling around outside the store. After fumbling with my bikelock in the 46 degree weather for a few minutes, I finally joined the crowd and jumped in on my first discussion, QQing about Retribution Paladins and how badly they need to be nerfed. Not that anyone would care two hours from now, when ...

Filed under: Paladin, Wrath of the Lich King Wrath is live. We repeat, the game is now live. By now you should really have gotten over the spate of nerfs to the class. Instead, you should be celebrating that the level cap has been lifted and we'll be able to hit Level 71 and quickly learn Divine Plea. Those mana problems -- Protection Paladins, I'm not talking to you -- should fizzle by then. In ...

We've been getting multiple tips about it from different tipsters over the past half hour; at first it was easy to call it a fake, but at this point there are enough independent ...

Filed under: Odds and ends, Humor, Wrath of the Lich KingIt's not that you've done anything wrong, but if you want to really hit the ground running in Northrend you're going to need to get your act together. Go outside and get some food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and other goodies. All those nutrients will let you stay up and play Wrath until you fall asleep in your chair.But there's more to it all then ...
