Geek Blog – Blizzard Announces New WoW Expansion
The Mists of Pandaria!
Pandaren Monks have been a humorous inside joke in the Warcraft universe for quite sometime; made more real as a non-combat pet you can purchase from Blizzard’s online store; and now a playable Race/Class in the just announced expansion trailer.
In addition to a new class, race and starting zone, WoW players will get a level-cap increase (to 90), a new continent, Challenge-Mode dungeons, PVE scenarios and a pet combat system (WTF?).
As a player since day 01, I hope this can offer some competition to the impending SWTOR competition.

Geek Blog – Words Hurt
Words of advice to “keep our future janitors and sports reporters in school just long enough so they don’t become a burden on our tax system.” Don’t be a GeekBully
Words Hurt, so bite your tongues, fellow geeks. Just once a day.

Geek Blog – Gnomes Started the Fire
The holidays have had me pretty well booked up. Here’s a great WoW machinima music vid.
Thank you, Dark Endeavor of Durotan and YT user MrZoddiak for this gem.

Geek Blog – Star Wars The Old Republic E3 Trailer Gives Me “Hope”
/drool
My understanding of this game is that it isn’t a “traditional” MMO such as EverQuest or WoW, but rather a single-player game, wrapped in a massive, multiplayer universe. You drive your own storyline by choosing dialogue options a la Mass Effect (another Bioware marvel) and can play the same class twice with vastly different effects.
Group up with others and as you interact with NPCs, you also influence your partner’s (or party’s) storyline.
Finally we get to see a Jedi in action!

Geek Blog – WoW Players Have RLs Too
Awesome entry into the “4-day Film” Category at the Darklight Film Festival. That means this beauty was filmed, FX’d and comp’d within a 4-day span. Not sure how I’d react to a Tauren in the elevator.

Geek Blog – WoW Chicks Music Video
I should admit this up front: I’m a dude who has a chick avatar in WoW. Mysstress is just that, a mistress to my main: an undead, male, mage. I figured I made my first toon into a rough characterization of myself but wanted the next character (whom I’d inevitably watch for hours upon hours during the journey to level 80) to at least be decent to look at. As a horde player, that left me with very limited options (Troll Chick, Cow Chick, Rotting Chick, or Blood Elf Chick). My decision was almost made for me (and if I used audio very often while playing, I may have chosen to move to Alliance) and although I can’t stand the valley girl emotes, Mysstress was born (on Hyjal, BTW).
The following video purports that dudes play as chicks to get the lootz. I think there are far more sexier reasons than just in-game gear. Enjoy the dancing pixels. Who pays (in game) for an (ingame) lapdance? Thanks, YumfriesWOW.

Geek Blog – Dork Anthem
LOL. Should be the Geek Anthem. Very well written. “I was first in line to buy Halo 3/On Friday nights I play D&D.”
I love it! Check out more of Dave and Brian’s stuff on the iTunes store.
