- Pirates Day!
Blizzard’s newest holiday came and went, without much bang, unless you count Draechen’s lifeless body hitting the floor.
- Brewfest: It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
The time of drunken rabbit chasing, drunken ram riding, and farming the hell out of BRD are back. We’ve got a refresher on your achievements as well.
- Earth, Wind and Fire down!
2 guilds have taken down the entire vault of archavon bosses (Koralon, Emalon, and Archavon) within 60 seconds of each other, simply insane.

IndustryGamers has a review of the Austin Game Developers Conference, and blizzard airs the internal numbers…. 5.5 million lines of code? Wow….

- The /2 Podcast lends us their host, Rustonoviche!
- 3.2.2: When is it coming!?
The latest patch notes can be found here. We break down the current state of whats happening to your classes!
- Trial of the Grand Crusader is now on farm!
It was more of a sprint than a race, but the Taiwanese guild Stars, and the US guild Premonition have both checked in and gotten Anub’arak down for the count. We also break down whether world firsts are actually important?
- Imagine a world without class changes
A question was asked on the warcraft forums about the possibility of “finishing the classes” and having no more changes. Eyonix said it isn’t going to (obviously), but it begs the question: Would a game that has “finished” classes that are balanced be fun? Is the class QQ where excitement comes into play?
- Splitting PvP and PvE
In another forum post, Ghostcrawler responds to a question about splitting the two game types by saying: “It just feels like two games with one art set at that point, which isn’t what we’re going for.” So give us your input, would you like to see abilites work differently in PvP instead of trying to balance both around each other?
- The WoW TCG set to release its newest expansion: ScourgeWar
And the loot cards are the big draw for the MMO player, so here’s what we have: Your Super Common card is the Mini-mount that runs at your regular movement speed, its just Tiny! Your Uncommon card is the Tuskar Kite non-combat pet, and your ultrarare crown jewel is the spectral kitten non-combat pet. You can check them all out here. Also, when they arive on the PTR you can check them out by using these codes: # Tiny: 3333 # Tuskarr Kite: 2222 # Spectral Kitten: 1111
-Blizz, give us a reason to raid
The Where’s Me Drink Blog poses and interesting question: Where have the raid quests gone? Kara was chock full of questlines, and yet naxx, ulduar and ToC have nothing. Do we want them back?
-Macros Explained - In English!
Fitzcairn’s Macro Explain-o-maticis a great utility to troubleshoot your macros, or just figure out what exactly that 255 character mess of code does.
- Jeg recieved a voicemail from the enigmatic Tory Grey
- Jeg pops Rustonoviche’s cherry with a new FMK.
- Koralon is the next target of the Call to Arms!

(This weeks intro music was written by Threat Signal)
- Faction Changes now Available
As Jeg can attest to, this amazing new service comes with a hefty price tag. Want to switch sides and servers? Sure that will be $55(30 for the faction change + 25 for the server transfer. Regardless, Jeg is now 80 and waiting on Draechen for a change
- Trial of the Grand Crusader is now open!
The race for world firsts is on! … And over apparently as Paragon from EU-Lightning Blade has claimed the last two world firsts (Anub’arak and Twin Valkyr) to finish of the latest raid content. Congrats!
- New Shaman Totems!
A recent blue post unveiled that there will be new totems for the orcs and trolls, along with the newly arriving dwarves!
- The PUGcast fashion crew
The newest arena season gear has been uncovered, so naturally Jeg and Draechen break down who has the best looking gear.
- Blizzard deploys…. a virus scanner?!
Are they crossing a boundary? Apparently when logging in, if you are detected to have a virus, trojan, or keylogger you may find your account banned for 24 hours. WoW.com breaks the story here
- Blizzard to attend PAX Blizzard has announced that they will be bringing Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, and the cataclysm demos to PAX. This leaves us wondering. When are you coming to the east coast…. dammit!
- Draechen has released the latest vent recording. It appears the crew has decided to reroll.
- Jeg and Draechen break down your results from the first F, Marry, Kill.
- In exhausting fashion, Our Call to Arms segment dissects Thorim, IN THE MOUNTAINS

- Blizzcon came and went and left us without news!
All that means is that Jeg and Draechen have to bring you more content on their own. Tread carefully…
- PTR Build for 3.2.2 Released
The data miners were hard at work and found the Pandaren Mini-pet. Yeah, we wish they were a playable race too.
- Are race changes closer than we thought?
Also in the PTR Build, a “bug” unveiled the race change feature, it didnt work but the question surfaces. How close is race changing?
- Talentchic.com is now WoWPopular.com
This is mainly for Jeg, so he doesn’t have to be redirected anymore.
- Ozzy talks to Kotaku.com about his show at Blizzcon.
What did we learn? Ozzy is possibly a dork, as he broke down (at least what could be understood) his expectations of the Blizzcon faithful.
Tory Grey reports from Blizzcon - Jeg recieved a phone call from Tory Grey who offers his/her insights from Blizzcon.
F, Marry, Kill - A new game to play along with! Jeg peppers Draechen with a series of lovely choices.
-Our Call to Arms segment tackles Freya, who we found out Draechen would marry, given the choice

Having a small amount of news meant Drae and Jeg had to dig deep to find content. Play along at www.pugcast.com.

- Blizzcon is upon us!
Unless you’ve been in a coma for the past 2 days, you already have a good idea what is happening to the world… of warcraft. This week we were joined by TheWych and Tempeste from BindonEquip and we delve in the broad spectrum of changes. We also have exclusive audio of a worgen transformation!
- Icecrown Citadel
31 Bosses! Well, no, actually there are only 12. We delve into all the details released for Arthas since he’s still around, hating you.
- The ultimate plan for Battle.net
Blizzcon has also revealed to us the plans for battle.net (Think STEAM, but better)
- Starcraft II Marketplace
Much like all the customize maps for Warcraft 3, the plan is to allow developers even more access to the game, by incorporating their own art, ingenuity, and time to create custom content for Starcraft II. It has a little bit of an iTunes Appstore feel to it, but we’ll trust that the community won’t all be price gougers.
Our Call to Arms segment this week is a joke! We ran a little long, so enjoy the VanCleef strategy…
