Posted: November 26, 2008 by Wiispace
So whether you’re going to visit family across the street or across the country, sitting home watching football, taking yourself to a movie or not doing anything particularly special at all … Have a great weekend!
Oh and if you are brave enough to go out on Black Friday, good luck!
Both of our awesome scribes came up with great stuff for us this Thanksgiving! So thanks so much SuperQ and ^_^ you guys rock!
World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
by ^_^ (Wiispace Scribe)
Some of you may be aware that the highly anticipated Wrath of the Lich King expansion for the very successful World of Warcraft online computer game was released on 13 November, just under two weeks ago. But did you know it became the fastest selling computer game of all time? Pretty impressive stuff to sell around 2.5 million copies in a single day…
For those of you who don’t know what World of Warcraft (commonly refered to as WoW) is yet, you’ve probably be living under a rock. For those of you that do, you’re probably disgusted by the potential lifebreaker that it can become, or you’re a big fan of the spell casting, sword swinging online adventure. In WoW, you create an online avatar/character that you can specialize right from the start with Race (Dwarf, Orc, Human, etc.), a class (Warlock, Warrior, Mage, etc.), and appearance. Players can then guide their online character through various quests and battle other players in a massive open-end world, all in collecting various items and advancing in your storyline. Players can also chat online by typing (obviously) and using various emotions such as “/e dance”, at which point your character will start doing a dance unique to his or her race.
WotLK packs an impressive package for those playing WoW. Here’s just some of the changes:
–) A new continent–Northrend–to explore and quest in.
–) A new playable class–Death Knight–avaliable to experienced, high-level WoW players.
–) A new profession–Inscription–that allows for the modification of the individual abilities of characters.
–) An entirely new branch in the already huge storyline.
–) Improved graphics and game engine.
If you’re interested in playing World of Warcraft, be it Lich King or not, you may have to save up some dough. World of Warcraft itself costs around $20 these days, the previous expansion needed for WotLK–The Burning Crusade–is around $30, and Lich King will set you back another $40, not to mention the $15 per month game fee for your online account. But if you’re looking for one of the best games out there, especially if you’re looking for an online game, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King is what you need to look into!
