World Of Warcraft

Which side? Horde, or Alliance? Which I think is a fair question given the Lich Queen's habit of raising former Alliance folks from the dead.

Alliance. He's a ghost, not an undead.

10th year anniversary stuff!

Tauren Mill vs Southshore Battleground!

Max level Raid Finder 40 man Molten Core!

Molten Corgi pet!

Oh, thanks for that. A ghosty companion. Should be good.

That old school Molten Core raid will be loads of fun, if my system can handle it. I tried reinstalling the GTX660OC that I bought a while back, in the hopes that I could get its TDR crashes under control. So far none of the troubleshooting steps that I've found online have provided a permanent solution.

Are you confident enough to take the cooler off, clean it, clean the fan, apply new thermal paste to the GPU chip and re-apply the cooler? If so, there's probably a guide I could dig out for you to do so. With video and everything.

I had to do that with my HD 6870 last week when it kept spitting the dummy when I wanted to play Skyrim. Relatively easy once I found out precisely which screw was keeping the card's motherboard attached to the cooling fan assembly.

It's brand new, so there shouldn't be any dirt on it. I may try taking it out and cleaning the contacts of the PCI-E slot.

Oh, it's a new card? Shouldn't be causing any problems at all, unless your power supply isn't kicking enough juice, and as you say your PCI-E slot could be a bit dirty.

Of course there are certain brands who don't build N Vidia chipset graphics cards as well as the others.

If I learned anything about tech support from Warhammer 40,000, you need to pray harder.

Or...possibly defective?

I need to start murdering people to take their monies or their jobs, because the 10 year anniversary sounds like a lot of fun. I don't like Pv P, I didn't like trying to quest in Hillsbrad with a hundred morons killing all the NPCs. But yeah, it had it's moments—like seeing a whole gang of Alliance mounting up and charging Tarren Mill.

I'd run the BG at least a few times.

New free comic: Gul'dan and the Stranger

It's obvious who the stranger is. I figured it out even before I read the comic.

Interesting.

So, the question is does Gul'dan survive these events?

Bagsie the scythe. That looks awesome.

As a troll hunter, thank you Blizzard, thank you. One thing gets to me though....

This comment: "Extremely disappointed. Only ever played trolls. All my toons are trolls. You made Vol'jin look awesome, you still make use look not only effing weak, but also our skeletal model doesn't look updated. We do not have claws. Our facial detail and body skin is not anywhere on par with Vol'jin or the troll bosses from Mo P. AND even though since Warcraft 3 troll art has shown them with beards- STILL no beards. Go back and start over, and ask those of us that play trolls what we want. This is crap."

1. on Vol'jin's model: This is highly opinion based. I personally hate his model, it looks nothing like a classic Troll to me.

2. on weak and skeletal model: A. Trolls aren't known for their barrel arms. B1. work in progress. B2. Still images.

3. on claws: What? Trolls have claws now or are you high?

4. on skin: Meh.

5. on beards: Finally you speak some sense!

A Beard is the mark of the Troll. Especially if she's female.

World of Warcraft's main twitter feed tweeted a tribute to Robin Williams and hinted at a possible NPC in game.

Premade Groups: Looking for Adventure

Hopefully this will help us set up Troper raid groups easier.

Remember, in just over 30 minutes, the cinematic and release date for Warlords will be announced!

I'm confused. The trailer's supposed to be on the Gamescom stream, but that says it starts Friday.

Yeah... that was my bad. Just realized it's at 10 am PDT.

That's pretty awesome. R.I.P. Mannoroth.

If by awesome, you mean "Oh, Crap! everything is screwed up", you'd be right. Because Mannoroth dying there means that the timeline change is not isolated to Draenor, and extends to the Burning Legion itself.

And last I checked, the orcs getting demon-corrupted was part of the whole chain of causality that led to the death of Archimonde. (Well, I guess Blizzard had to come up with a brand new way of bringing bad guys back, and this is it.)

Word of God is that this doesn't change anything about the timeline of the existing Azeroth. It's all taking place in an alternate timeline. What happens to the Burning Legion in WoD!Draenor has no effect on what happens in our world, except as the Legion may be plot-relevant within the expansion content.

This isn't like the Infinite Dragonflight messing with the timeways, which would have screwed with our world had it succeeded.

Fair enough, but it doesn't have to mess with the existing timeline anyway. If the Iron Horde can cross over from the alternate timeline, so could the Legion.
