Time again for Warcraft Wednesday, a roundup of things I’ve found interesting about the World of Warcraft this past week! One of those things, as you can see above, is SNAXXRAMAS!

• It’s still all Dungeon Finder for me lately — my guild doesn’t seem to have enough people to go raiding, so I just log in, get in a random group (finally running Heroics with my pally), and run a few instances. Lately, I’ve been thinking of going back to the hunter. I originally switched to my Pally so that I could do some tanking and/or healing, but I tried to do both of those in random groups and to be honest, I didn’t find them that fun as a hybrid. I think I’m going to stick with straight DPS, though maybe I’ll go back and level a priest for Cataclysm.
• Can you believe that this woman plays World of Warcraft? Or used to, anyway. Man she is pretty, and pretty nerdy!
• The WoW TCG is completely revamping the way they’re doing business in 2010. Not necessarily surprising, given that there are more sets out now than anyone can count, and they’ve needed a refresh to try and pull in new players. I don’t think they’re due for a demise — I think they’re so far into the community at this point that Blizzard won’t bother with starting up any other licensing deals. But I do think things will change over there pretty drastically, which is probably usually what happens when TCG games get that old.
• I have to agree with Boubouille here — the Cataclysm alpha may be starting up soon, but it really doesn’t mean much to us at all. Friends and family alpha means it’s not open to the public (as Mania says, that means you and me), and I think given their experience with Wrath, Blizzard is going to be really careful about releasing information early. Eventually, there will be a PTR and/or an open beta, and we’ll have lots of time to pick all of the many many changes over then. Until then, I would say let them do their thing and wait for the sure-to-be-exciting pre-release world event. Remember, my thinking is that we’ll have basically a content patch worth of quests and reputation and items to look over for the world event.
• Bornakk says no changes to the Battered Hilt drop rate… which means we’ll probably see a change soon. Ha! I kid. I still haven’t seen mine yet. Or my Mr. Pinchy. Or my Perky Pug (though I’m closer than ever).
• I do this all… the… time. Malygos: “Pledge fealty to me, and perhaps I won’t slaughter you for your insolence!” Me: “Ok, ok! We pledge! Guys, let’s go, he seems pretty angry.”
• Finally, here are some fun games to play while running Heroics with the dungeon finder. I’m probably too chicken to play them on my still undergeared paladin, though I may try some of the DPS ideas on my hunter this week.

That’s it for this week! Oh, one more thing: have you seen this site yet? It’s probably NSFW and you probably won’t like it, but I thought it was funny.
