Big News Of The Week

All This Class Change News Is A Little Overwhelming!

Blizzard posted no less than 9 new assessments of class changes coming in version 4.0 of World Of Warcraft later this year. Every class except paladin has been given the same, thorough explanation, and the result has been to dominate discussion among WoW players around the world for the last few days.

Rumors And Scuttlebutt

Mekkatorque Is A Little Big-talker

After rumors spread throughout Kharanos and Ironforge about Mekgineer Thermaplugg preparing his irradiated soldiers to meet the growing gnomish clamoring for the reclamation of their once-great city, High Tinker Mekkatorque today exclaimed Operation: Gnomeregan to be imminent, describing his former ally Thermaplugg’s irradiation of the beloved city as “a date which will live in a proportionate rate of increase in impropriety!” Speaking to a small conglomerate of various Alliance representatives, Mekkatorque pointed out that the time to strike is now. After all, Thermaplugg has eluded death for years to keep his reign over Gnomeregan; and with the fall of the Lich King, the last great threat to the citizens of Azeroth, the chance of any cataclysmic event taking place in the foreseeable future is “less than 12.7%,” Mekkatorque’s leading combat medical advisor Doc Cogspin purported.

  2. I love SC, but the cost of the Collectors Edition is nuts considering you are ONLY getting 1/3 of a game. Blizz is gonna charge $300 for the entire 3 sets combined and that is FRAKKING nuts for a single game.

  3. As an FYI, the podcast download (via your site or iTunes) now appears to be blocked by some of the filtering companies. Did the host change? If not, you may have been added to a block list by Websense/Bluecoat.

    Going to be a pain to download at home to listen to at work.. :-P

    Any chance for an alternate hosting of the current episode each week?…

  4. you are not getting 1/3 a game, there are three seperate games in terms of length ect…

    so, grow up!

  5. That might be so Corhen but past experiences teach us what to expect and to only get one campaign each game is awful. I’m going to wait for the battle chest of the 3 before buying. I already pump enough money into blizzard from WoW.

  6. When Scott screamed “Kick her in the boob!!” I snorted Diet Coke all over myself, completely removing all semblance of dignity at my job. Thanks guys. Thanks.

  8. Yea what was that song… Epic.

    Sadly I know you wont tell – but does anyone else know?

  9. Don’t play WoW any longer, but I still listen to you guys. Your a funny couple of coconuts.

  10. Completely missed answering the second half (about class trash talking) of the first question in the Town Crier section. Also, another leading lady is Alexstrasza, the Red Dragonflight aspect.

  11. Randy, I don’t think you should be flinging your balls at anyone. I am very surprised that Scott didn’t camp on that one for a while.

  12. Terran unit Thor not suitable as a WoW pet …are u guys serious?

    What about all the engineering pets and robot-like bosses? …XT-002 anyone?

  20. Yeah right on David. thats a cool song. would like to get a hold of it of possible:)

  21. Yeah, if you guys could let us know where the song came from at the end of the podcast, that would be awesome. It’s based on “I’m yours” by Jason Mraz, but I can’t find anything on youtube. Best copy/parody I’ve heard in a long time. I’d buy it.

  24. Pretty please sort us out the artist/name of the song at the end.

    I’ll be your best friend.
    I’ll make you crème brûlée.

  33. I have been playing this game since the first Starcraft and I still play the first part sometimes. I can strongly recommend this game to everyone.
