Changes coming to the Crusader title

We were just talking about this on the podcast last night — Turpster’s tip a week or so ago was that going for the Crusader title in the Argent Tournament actually puts you at a disadvantage, because if you keep from turning in the last Valiant quest for the achievement, you don’t lock off having [...]

Enter to win one of six loot card codes from WoW Insider and WoWTCGLoot

We’ve been giving a lot of loot card codes away on our Twitter account lately, but the nice folks over at WoWTCGLoot.com didn’t think that was enough. They want all of our readers to have a chance at some awesome ingame stuff for free, so here you go: we’re giving away not two, not four, [...]

Confirmed: Kotaku reporting that Blizzard has hired PopCap VP

Rumours abound from the Australian arm of Kotaku (and our own Joystiq) that PopCap’s CEO Greg Canessa is joining Blizzard. Given the success of their WoW addons for Peggle and (my personal favourite) Bejweled, the hiring of the man who helped launch Xbox Live Arcade is quite exciting.
Kotaku reports Canessa will be joining the teams [...]

Around Azeroth: Be fruitful and multiply

Yep, we’re still sorting through the Noblegarden shots here at Around Azeroth. Gophfa and <Forgotten Legacy> of Andorhal were waiting for their healer to come back from a “five minute” AFK during Kologarn attempts when they decided to have some fun with their holiday equipment. The result looks like the Titans created two bunnies, turned [...]

One Boss Leaves: It’s Herald Volazj by a landslide

Two Bosses Enter … but only One Boss Leaves, in WoW Insider’s series of fantasy death matches. This season’s bosses come wow goldfrom the five-man instances of Wrath of the Lich King.
The results of this week’s Two Bosses Enter, One Boss Leaves deathmatch didn’t show much insanity – just plenty of old-fashioned whuppin’, as Herald [...]

Potion tips for the uninitiated

Tanking Tips has a good (you guessed it) tip for potting up before a raid. They say that you can’t use two potions in combat — or can you? Any potion that relies on a proc to get used up (like an Indestructible Potion) can be downed early, then let the two minute cooldown on [...]
