WotLK Pet Calculators

Now this is cool.  An update from the forthcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion.  I had heard that pets will have their own talent trees.  WoWHead has posted a preview of the Pet Talents and it looks awesome.  Any hunters that want to see what they might want to do with their pets can start to plan for it now.  I am really looking forward to this.  Rock on.

Sad Development

This is sad.  My laptop is getting old and i think from hours, nay, months of play time on WoW, i think i have fried my graphics card.  WoW looks like this...

...it's not like this laptop ever really ran the game well anyway.  So, i felt very fortunate to have a great computer provided me by my employer.  They have indeed spoiled me with a Quad4Duo Mac Pro.  It has a 512 graphics card and other bells and whistles.  Runs WoW like a dream.  I have had permission to take it home with me occasionally as long as i did indeed get some work done while i had it.  But yesterday i was informed that i am no longer allowed to remove my tower from the premises.  So i am officially WoW-less at home.  It is unplayable on this laptop.  Can't see anything.  The good news is that i can still do my free-lance work and browse the internet.  But most games are unplayable.  i.e. Diablo, StarCraft and Warcraft are all too hard to see.  Even Halo and Unreal Tournament are too taxing to this machine.  A tear was shed after hearing that news.  Yes, the sky is a little less blue.  That means no more Wednesday night raids with my friends and stuff.  I need a Coke™.  I'm gonna go drown my sorrow.  Wish i had something a lot harder than that tho.  It's gonna take something really strong to get me thru my withdrawls.  Wish me luck.

Summer Lag

Okay, i know it's been a long time since i posted.  I suppose if i blogged for a living or others were relying on me to keep them informed, i would be more diligent.  But since this is just kind of a fun thing for me, the posts tend to be a little sparse.  That being said...

... there has been a lot of information coming out about the forth coming Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack.  Still no date but there are official and still subject to change before the actual release talent calculators.  So check those out.  Kinda cool.  You can kind of get a feel for the way you might want to spec your new Death  Knight.  

In other announcements,  the public beta is in full swing.  There is ongoing random selections for the beta.  Blizzard™ released an opt-in page from their main sight.  That means that when you opt-in you are making yourself more likely to be picked from the random account selection process.  I don't think it really helps you get selected any sooner than anyone else.  I think it just tells them that you would indeed play the beta and provide viable feedback.

I think thats all i have for now.  If i think if more i'll be sure to get another post done.  It's kind of slow right now.  A lot of my RL friends are taking breaks because of summer activities and people are bored with grinding on the Isle of Quel'Danas.  There are only so many times you can free murloc slaves without bouncing your head off your keyboard from sheer lack of caring....

...Blizzard™! PLEASE!  Give us a date for the release.
