New Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftains song: Warriors of Azeroth

As a BlizzCon 2010 attendee, I was a little disappointed that the Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftains weren't there with a new song. That has now been remedied, as Wowhead has exclusive footage of their newest song, Warriors of Azeroth. This was shot at the Cataclysm launch event.

Sung by the metalhead and art lead Samwise Didier, this rocking new tune is an ode to all those who would don their armor for the greater good -- the warrior. Horde or Alliance, it doesn't matter -- those who grab their axes, hammers and swords, and rush headlong into battle, this song is for you. So say thanks to your tanks, give your arms warrior a hug, and grab a drink for your favorite fury. Kick back and enjoy!

Our groups' unwanted -- and so far unseen -- visitor has made herself known. The tension in the air is palpable.

On a more technical note, I'm trying something new with textures. It's not very noticeable, but I think it gives the page a little something. What do you guys think? Keep or toss?

Breakfast Topic: New and improved

Today is the big day -- The Shattering, also known as Patch 4.0.3a. The day that everything you've ever known and loved for the past six years will be destroyed by the original bad dragon, Deathwing. The denizens of Azeroth will not take this lying down, oh, no -- for cultures have changed, and races have embraced different ways to fight back. The humans and Forsaken have now taken up the path of the hunter. Dwarves have embraced shamanism, and the tauren have realized that the sun offers a different power than their moonlighting druid kin.

With all the new race/class combos, which new path are you going to walk down? When 4.0.3a hits, you'll be able to choose your new race/class combo, despite what other news has been floating around today. You'll be able to choose from:
  • blood elf warrior
  • troll druid
  • dwarf shaman
  • tauren paladin
  • tauren priest
  • gnome priest
  • night elf mage
  • orc mage
  • human hunter
  • undead hunter
  • dwarf mage
Despite my earlier rantings, I'm really gunning for a tauren paladin. The Sunwalker lore ended up fitting really nicely, although I'm curious to see what the motivation behind the gnome priests are. What are you going to roll/pay to change?

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm will destroy Azeroth as we know it; nothing will be the same! In WoW Insider's Guide to Cataclysm, you can find out everything you need to know about WoW's third expansion (available Dec. 7, 2010), from brand new races to revamped quests and zones.

Cataclysm beta testing is officially over

After countless months of hard work, number-crunching, and bug reporting, Blizzard's Zarhym has announced that beta testing for Cataclysm is officially over:

We're just about two weeks out from the official global launch of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm! And with that, the time has come to conclude the beta test. We will be shutting down our beta realms momentarily. We want to sincerely thank all of you for your dedication to testing, providing feedback, reporting bugs, and everything else you've done to help us make this expansion the best World of Warcraft title to date.

Stay tuned to our new community site (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/) for the latest news and updates as we get closer to release. We'll see you in Cataclysm!


With The Shattering right on the horizon and Cataclysm only two short weeks away, Blizzard has enough information to comfortably ease into the next expansion.

Don't worry, everyone -- you'll see your goblin or worgen soon enough.

Time for a game of 20 Questions! Question 1: Will I make it out of here alive?

That, my friends, is an excellent question, and one that will be answered shortly. Also, listen to the mouth on that little girl! Are people even trying to raise their children anymore? What is this world coming to (aside from total and utter destruction)?
