Spiritual Guidance: Holy? Disc? We’re all priests
Every Sunday (and the occasional weekday) Dawn Moore reinvents what "smitelol" means to her shadowy cohort, Fox Van Allen , by busting down a door with penance lasers and raising holy hell to a Tarantino soundtrack . In the column Spiritual Guidance she offers advice to holy and discipline priests on how to wield the holy light, with style

Breakfast Topic: It’s the little things
Hidden in the upper corner of The Threads of Fate in Dalaran is a curious little cobbler named Sheddle Glossgleam . While he seems to be an ordinary vendor, it's really the chair next to him that makes him much more entertaining -- when you sit on the chair, he'll toddle over and shine your shoes for you. This buff last for an hour -- or until you take combat or fall damage and scuff your feet

Burning Crusade approved in China
NetEase is finally approved to release the Burning Crusade in China, which probably means that they are accepting new accounts again. This is months after being caught in the crossfire between the quarreling GAPP (General Administration of Press and Publications) and MoC (Ministry of Culture) over NetEase's rights to operate WoW at all. Now that they are only one expansion behind and with Cataclysm set for the latter half of this year, this gives NetEase time to get Wrath of the Lich King approved before they fall behind yet another expansion

The article does not mention if this was voluntary, or if this was part of the ruling that was scheduled to be handed down in January

Paul Sams: "We will not pull the rug out from under them"
In a fascinating post over at Gamesindustry.biz , Blizzard COO Paul Sams takes great pains to emphasize that Blizzard will ship no game before its time (to rip off an old wine slogan ): " We will not pull the rug out from under them and ship it before it's done, so people feel that when they out their heart and soul into a game, they'll be able to deliver the game they envisioned. " This is interesting to me on a couple of levels: the first is the long time between the original idea that World of Warcraft would get an expansion a year and the actual time (more than two) that it took for The Burning Crusade to ship

Around Azeroth: Little Bunny Foo Foo
Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the -- oh, God! Who brought the Great Horned Owl pet to Icecrown? You guys and your stupid non-combat pets have cost us raid members for the last time. First the Black Kingsnake scared off our ophidiophobic off-tank, then someone's Perky Pug mauled our paladin, and now the owl has eaten three of our ranged DPS

Breakfast Topic: The Personal Aesthetic
Recently, a commenter on a post mentioned that I use a similar screenshot for a lot of my The Care and Feeding of Warriors posts. I looked over it, and he was right: since I race changed to draenei, in fact, quite a few of the screenshots have been silhouetted, facing downwards shots that I often take just because I am playing my character and suddenlt stop and say "wow, that's cool" - I'm not a terribly sophisticated visual thinker (for that, I go to my wife, who has a landscape artist's eyes and a remarkable grasp of light and nuance) but I know what I like.
