Merrymaker Lissiel says “These types of weapons are good for all resto druids, and everyone should either be getting a staff with haste, or a main hand + off-hand haste combo.” Matticus proclaims loudly and proudly, “I learned 7 important healing lessons from this one quest!” Spicytuna turns towards Blizzard and asks, “Why can’t we give thumbs down to the dungeons we don’t like, just as we can in WarCraft III?” “This has been a crazy year,” muses Pikestaff as the hunter takes a trip down memory lane.

From time to time it occurs to me that my character, were I a better roleplayer, has actually been to a whole lot of places. He’s seen a ridiculous amount of things and would have a really hard time settling down on a farm somewhere on Azeroth or whatever it is old adventurers do when they’re tired of killing old gods, elemental monstrosities, Dragon Aspects, ancient liches, and Illidan Stormrage, to name just a few. It really occurred to me on a visit to Darnassus, in fact, to turn in the quest “A Cautious Return” that I should be able to do more than just hand the dude a note. I mean, I killed Illidan! I’ve kicked Kil’Jaeden’s butt back down the Sunwell myself! I went back in time and fought Archimonde. (By the way, Tyrande, thanks for the slow fall item and all.) Lore wise, I’ve pretty much seen everything at this point and soon, I’ll be running off to fight Arthas. You’d think I could say “hey, take it

Following the pattern held in previous years, Blizzard will again be loaning out some of their top developers for panels at this year’s Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco, CA. WoW’s former Lead Producer Jeff Kaplan, a.k.a. Tigole, presented the keynote speech at last year’s GDC, and this year two top developers will be on tap to give horribly esoteric panels. Brian Schwab, Blizzard’s Senior AI/Gameplay Engineer, will be presenting a lecture on AI architecture … “AI programmers rarely use a pure architecture such as a State Machine, Planner, or Behavior Tree in isolation. Rather, several symbiotic architectures are mashed together, resulting in an overall architecture that is unique and powerful in its own way. This lecture is designed as a series of three mini-lectures where you will hear about several mashed up AI architectures along with intriguing lessons and insights.” … and Erin Catto, Blizzard’s Principle

T for Thunderfury is the epic tale of Baron Soosdon’s quest to get Thunderfury for his paladin. When he finally managed this epic feat, needless to say, there was a party. This video has a similar epic, awesome feel to many of Soosdon’s videos. And while it’s not technically a machinima, I still enjoyed the camera work and music. Soosdon’s just kind of got that flair, and could probably find ways to make an entertaining movie out of a watermelon in a bucket. Congratulations to the good Baron on accomplishing this feat. Make sure to watch all the way through — there’s a special Christmas shout-out at the end.

You lucky European ducks may just have finally gotten that one thing you can hold over the heads of those Americans with their superiority complexes. The official online Blizzard store is now offering, exclusively for Europe, a set of Frostmourne-themed merchandise. Enclosed in a special box, the set contains one Frostmourne hilt keychain and one insulated metal mug with Frostmourne’s runic engravings on one side. Steely-eyed readers may notice that the keychain is the same one as, or at least identical to, the one that came in your BlizzCon ‘09 goody bag. Of course, this one is “made of rhodium, a rare metal offering even higher quality than silver.” The mug, on the other hand, is a never-before-seen piece of merch. The set is, of course, limited edition, so if you want to make this the perfect gift for the burgeoning death knight in your family, you’d best act quickly. Then again, I don’t think they like warmth very much. Maybe an insulated mug
