Gee, boss, I'm feeling a cold coming on. I definitely won't be in to work tomorrow. What's that? You saw me at
Gamestop and/or Best Buy at midnight? I, er, well, I was dealing with a nasty bug. No, not
that one, the
other one (no worries, I'll be
compensated!). I'm quite
talented, you see. If I was in Europe, they'd already be
showing me the way to Northrend. Alas, I'm not, and I have to wait until 9pm PST. In the meantime, there are those who've been where I'm going, and have nicely
posted a review already.

The record has finally been set for an Onion article
(video, actually) to turn into
real life. It's now a real game. You can download
it. It's free.
time: about 1 day.
The subject is MMORPGS (pronounced 'more pigs') and how popular they are.

Well,
it's official. After numerous rumors, leaks, and even someone with a sharp eye for
trademark searches, it was revealed this morning with the first entrants to
BlizzCon in Anaheim, California that the next World of Warcraft expansion will be called Wrath of the Lich King, complete with new areas to explore, new hairstyles and character customizations, level 80, and the first new class to be introduced to the game since it opened.

WoWFilter: It's official. The Burning Crusade debuts today in Los Angeles at
BlizzCon, a company-sponsored event that is also showing off
Starcraft: Ghost. The convention has been sold out for nearly 3 months now. Surprisingly, even after selling out all the tickets, Blizzard went on to announce that
The Offspring will perform (with an opener from
Christian Finnegan), there will be a fully equipped exhibit hall, and the event will take place right next to
Disney Land. The convention opened its doors this morning, and Blizzard promptly put up the official site for the expansion. The only question that remains is: What is the new mystery playable race for the Alliance? My vote is for drunk Panda Ninjas.

A Picture is Worth 1000 Brains. Tonight, an event took place on one of the new Role Playing Player Versus Player servers for
World Of Warcraft. One of the more
eccentric guilds on the server decided to hold an event in honor of the game's official seasonal holiday "Hallow's Eve." Trading in their regular characters for level 1 zombies, they named themselves unpronounceable names (seeing as zombies lack proper tongue and jaw), gathered by the hundreds, and descended on the human fortress of Stormwind. More pics can be found
in the official WoW forums. Happy Hallow's Eve, everyone! Brains!
