- No Pandas For Me: Without much fanfare my invitation to the Mists of Pandaria beta has arrived. I actually sat on the invite for about 10 days or so. I was not looking forward to camping quest mobs with a hundred other lemmings looking to level a panda so I waited a bit. After the usual download and game install I began my great beta adventure with restrained enthusiasm. As some know I have had high hopes with this expansion and as a result I paid for early access to the beta. So there I sit, pouring over the character creation screen to take [...]
- Really? REALLY?: So I step away for a few short days and it seems like all hell breaks loose in World of Warcraft. Not only is there a ton of Mists of Pandaria information out there, people are actually getting beta invites. Of course in true Blizzard fashion, invites are not going quite the way everyone expected. It seems that just like me everyone else who purchased the annual pass expected to be at the top of the MoP beta invite list. Oh how we were sadly mistaken. No dear friend, you may have played your hand but Blizzard never really showed [...]
- Culture Clash: As more and more time goes by, I am finding that the others who are writing about Mists of Pandaria are grating my nerves some. With the announcement being so recent and so little information available, details are sketchy at best and there is bound to be a lot of duplicate information out there.

The first and primary of these is the culture of the [...]
- A Quick Check In: Whew… What a week! I hope everyone had a safe holiday (for those that celebrate). I mentioned earlier that I would be busy with other stuff, and busy is an understatement. It has been hectic but now things to be settling down. About the only gaming I have done is logging into WoW to collect gold. I still can’t believe that after an 8-9 month break from the game all of my old gold methods still work. Crazy. But they still work so I will keep (ab)using them. I might as well stack as much gold as I can before [...]
- Combos and Finishers: I have been thinking about the new Monk class that is headed our way in Mists of Pandaria. For me the announcement of the class is bitter sweet. On one hand I love the idea of a Kung-Fu Monk smacking the crap out of things. On the other hand I am melee gimped. Have I mentioned that I hate Blizzard? One of the unique things about the Monk class is their lack of auto attacks. Another thing that intrigues me is the use of a “combo” style system of attacks. Those of you who play brawler style games should be [...]
