Warcraft

Looking to add some style to your favorite avian companion? In patch 6.4, Pepe has a new set of costumes to collect.

I think I had beer-basted dwarf back home in Wisconsin once. Or it might have been calamari. It's hard to know exactly what you're eating after a few Leinenkugel's and a basket of cheese curds.

In patch 6.2, we get to add shipyards to our garrisons in order to better assault Tanaan Jungle, fight the Iron Horde, and of course send our ships on missions to bring back all kinds of valuable loot.

A short list of hotfixes for patch 6.1.2 have been released this evening, including a bug fix with one of the achievements for the current holiday event, Children's Week.

Let's assume you have a ton of gold. Let's say you stroll by the auction house and you see that the WoW Token has dropped to around 20,000 gold (in the US it often is below this, in the EU not as of yet) and you decide hey, I've got a ton of gold, I'll buy a year's worth of tokens and so you do. You dump 240,000 gold at the AH, redeem a bunch of tokens and bam, you're paid up for a year. You just saved fifteen dollars a month (again, using US numbers, I know it's different elsewhere in the world) for a whole year, and you're feeling pretty good about it. And there's no reason you shouldn't - that's why the token exists, after all. What I find interesting is to consider all the side ramifications of this deal.

Raid testing for Hellfire Citadel continues this week with four new Heroic difficulty encounters on Wednesday and Thursday. Tomorrow, players will be able to test the Heroic Hellfire High Council encounter, as well as Heroic Mannoroth. On Thursday, Hellfire Assault and Socrethar the Eternal will be available for testing.

"If you're looking to get the achievement "Azeroth's Top Twenty" and unlock your portable audiophone, you want to do the quick and easily obtained scrolls first," writes submitter Gimmlette.

What keeps you coming back for Children's week? The achievements? The toys? The pets? Think of the children!

Children's Week has begun in Azeroth, and this year has a few new rewards for players. Sadly, there are no new pets on the table, but there's plenty to be had for your existing pets, and a new toy for your toybox as well.

I'm on record, when we saw the introduction of pet battles, as saying 'Well, this isn't content I care about, but it's good for people who like it' because pet battles are utterly optional. The various rewards you get for pet battles only affect the pet battle minigame itself - stones and other rewards that affect the pets and how they level. There's never a reason to play pet battles if you don't enjoy the gameplay - you're never forced to do it, nor do you even feel forced to. I can say this having utterly ignored pet battles since their introduction.
