Alas, my search for slushie is going nowhere. I checked out this little store nearby - York Quay Fine Foods, I think. Being a convenience store in an upscale area, they have some VERY odd products. Like, Kawartha Dairy ice cream and a frozen yogurt machine. BUT NO SLUSHIES.

Currently going to finish fixing and uploading some PoG season one opening screencaps. I think the caps I have are out of order, but the opening is out of order compared to the rest of the series. I don't have a video copy of the opening on hand, so I'm going to have to guess at it. Boo. Wanna get it up, because it's been put off for way too long. After that, well, I have to sort through some more images, whenever I get home tonight. -_-

Yeah, in case the rumour hasn't gotten around (or if you even care. :P ), WoW fans dicking around with the patch for the Public Test Realm have discovered files labled "Howling Fjord" and "Northrend" under a folder labeled "Expansion02". Which, could honestly mean nothing given that the files for the Emerald Dream have been around since 2005 and it's STILL not in-game yet. o_O

I'm in the "Why Arthas and why now?" camp. Me thinks it makes more sense than the Illidan storyline, but I never really like Illidan to begin with. But... why Arthas next? There's so many other plot points that are hanging in the game, like the Emerald Dream. BIG one there. Mind you, WoW canon makes my head hurt at the moment. Apparently, Old Hillsbrad takes place 7 years in the past. Then... just how old are the Taelan Fordring and the Scarlet Crusade bosses? They appear as kids in Old Hillsbrad, but Taelan alone had to have been in at least his early teens, because he became a paladin of the Silver Hand before the Scourge hit.

Ow, my head!

I thought that more Kul Tiras meant more Proudmoore. Or maybe it's both - Arthas in the game means that everyone would have to get to Northrend probably by boat and Kul Tiras is a nation that's based around sailing and shipping. Therefore, it would be really cool to have them as the launching point for an attack on Northrend.

Anywho, I actually want to see more of the Scourge plotline, but you already know my interest in that.

I can see some sort of logic here. Arthas/Lich King/whatever he's called now isn't stupid or not at least as stupid as Illidan. The Alliance and Horde are both fighting the Burning Legion in Outland. That's three major enemies being kept very busy and far away. Further more, there's hints that Kel'Thuzad is still alive (or... uh... "existing", I guess) after Naxxramas and there's something fishy going on with the Scourge and Argent Dawn. I think something BIG is starting to go down.

Coming from someone who technically hasn't even reveiled who Lady Prestor I can wait for any additional material. I also have been a purist in that I haven't even reached the NE campaign in Warcraft 3 and thus tryin to leave some suprises when I do finally play that.

But what I would like to see is a way for Agrent Dawn/Cenarion Circle/Brood of Nozu...whatever to be of use again.

I spoil myself for video games, but it's a select kind of spoiling and more or less a "your mileage may vary" deal.

Argent Dawn and Cenarion Circle could a bit more useful at some point in the future (Northrend, Emerald Dream, etc) but the problem is the gap between raiders and "casual" players. Those reps were attacted to raids (Naxx and AQ20/40) and thus the raiders could be walking into a new areas already Exalted. There is some sort of work around, though, like... say, if you have a certian ranking with the Cenarion Circle, it would open up items or quests with Cenarion Expedition that couldn't be reached otherwise. Bet you that someone would still find a way to complain about it. :\

I always thought that Brood of Nozu was a bit daft. The bronze dragons have THREE factions right now - one for AQ40 rep, another for the first two Caves of Time instances and a last one for raids rep. I mean, I can understand the challenge with balancing out the gameplay, but COME ON.
