Know Your Lore: Who is the Cowled Ranger?
Warlords of Draenor plays with time and space in ways that aren't as obvious as the initial step through the Dark Portal. One of these includes the means by which we recruit Archmage Vargoth to be our follower. One of the strangest is the Cowled Ranger, because while she appears to be a simple night elf on a mission, things get complicated once she reveals what that mission is - the Cowled Ranger is attempting to answer a question players have asked since The Burning Crusade came out.
The Queue: My fever is writing The Queue today
I spent last night thinking about humans. We’re terrifying if you really stop and think about us. We can eat things that are toxic to most other species. We can survive broken bones, gunshot wounds, all manner of injuries that would incapacitate or even kill most other species on Earth. Humans used to hunt by simply walking after our prey until it fell down dead from exhaustion. Then we figured out how to make things get dead even more efficiently. Spears, spear-throwers, slings, bows… we’re a terrifying bunch.
Know Your Lore, Tinfoil Hat: The Destroyer of Worlds
If you've been playing WoW for a while, you've probably been to Outland. Shattered world, formerly known as Draenor, you've heard of it. Every since we started exploring Draenor in Warlords I've been wondering about Outland.
The Warrior’s Charge: Gladiator’s Resolve
Gladiator's Resolve is probably the best level 100 talent for Protection Warriors whether or not they intend to use Gladiator Stance.
The Queue: Anthropomorphic Dinosaurs
Look, someone asked. It’s totally in bounds.
Breakfast Topic: Are leveling and endgame disconnected?
I'm not asking if leveling is too easy, I'm asking if it's too divorced from what we're expected to do at max level. One of the things that limits console RPG's from getting too much ability bloat is the limitation of the control interface, but MMO's like WoW pack on the abilities - even after the pretty significant trim that we saw in Warlords of Draenor a max level characters interface can have upwards of twenty regularly used buttons on it.

How to get Sha’tar Rep in a day
I decided I wanted to get my Sha'tar Defense reputation up as fast as I could, because I'm a transmog junkie and I main a draenei, so I wanted to get that sweet Sha'tar Defense Plate set for him.
Breakfast Topic: What did you expect that didn’t happen?
Looking back over the course of Warlords of Draenor, one thing I really expected that didn't happen at all is that I thought Shattrath would be a raid, instead of an outdoor zone for garrison daily quests.
The Queue: Worgen druids don’t seem to sniffle
Getting into the questions fast for this edition of The Queue. Why? Because druids.
