Our podcast reached the end of part one last weekend, as both Turpster and I announced that we’d be leaving the show. But we didn’t let it become a sad affair — Matthew Rossi and Chase Christian both joined us for some Warcraft discussion (including when it’s ok to votekick someone, and lots of Battered Hilt discussion), and we finally were able to have one of our favorite guys stop by: Scott Johnson from The Instance podcast. It was a great show, and as usual, you can tune in at all of the links below. Thanks again for everything — even though Turpster and I are moving on, the podcast will continue, so be sure to come back and see what they brew up for you. But it’s been a heck of a ride these past two-plus years, and we’ve had measurable metric tons of laughs and fun together. Thanks so much for listening and chatting with us and all the emails and excitement. Enjoy the show, and don’t forget to grab your sword and fight the Horde.

Gnomeaggedon happened to post something so interesting the other day that I thought it merited a bit more discussion. He actually posted it almost as an afterthought (I guess he’s moving in RL — good luck with that), but it’s quite an idea just the same: “Make it all BoA,” he says. Blizzard has added in some more Bind-on-Account items, and most recently made it possible for BoA items to go across factions. But Gnomeaggedon says it’s time to stop messing around: mounts, emblems, tier and arena gear, currencies, vanity pets, reputation items, anything that would be useful across toons should be able to be traded freely between them. Why, he asks, should there be limits on which character you decide to play with? And actually, while the possibilities there might make some players’ heads spin (imagine how many badges you could earn on your geared-out pally for your newly 80 warlock), I think that Blizzard is probably headed that direction. They may not want to open the floodgates completely, but look at where we’ve come — we just heard Frank Pearce

A small patch that corrects some bugs has just been deployed on live realms this morning. This patch coincides with short realm restarts. We’re not entirely sure what the bug fix patch does right now, but we’re looking into it and will update this post shortly. Hopefully it fixes at least a few of the problems that have come along with The Fall of the Lich King last Tuesday. If you notice in the image above a link to patch notes, well, that link doesn’t work. Apparently something was or will be there, but no such luck right now. This patch brings the game from version 3.3.0.10958 to 3.3.0.11159. The patch file is about five megs in size.

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time ‘Til touch-down brings me round again to find I’m not the bare they think I am at home Oh, no no no I’m a ROCKET BARE Rocket bare! Bottom full of boom out here alone! Hats off to Tree Bark Jacket for capturing this utterly magnificent video from Icecrown’s gunship battle encounter, and a plea to any and all developers reading this; you can never go wrong combining lolbares with explosives. Or rocket launchers. Or laser gun-sights with auto-lock targeting on the rogue who just stole our new tanking belt.

Patch 3.3 has been out on the PTR for quite awhile now, and we’ve seen a ton of changes that will significantly alter the way the game is played. Everything from the new Dungeon Finder Tool, to the highly anticipated confrontation with Arthas. The sheer amount of content is hard for anyone to keep up with, and we’ve been steadily updating the WoW.com Guide to Patch 3.3 with everything we’ve written about the patch (over 250 articles now). This weekend we went through and did a large updating, sorting through a few things and polishing it up. We heard last week from a few sources that patch 3.3 will be deployed tomorrow, if Blizzard was able to fix the last few remaining bugs. We haven’t heard any updates on that yet, but will let you know as soon as we hear anything. Check out the guide for all your patch 3.3 goodness, and be sure to keep an eye on WoW.com over the new couple days!
