Lich King 1st impressions (some spoilers I guess)

Installation was a breeze. 1 dvd and one or two minor fixes and I was up and running! I started up the game and immediately looked at creating the new hero class Death Knight.

I was a bit confused at first because I misunderstood how one was created. I thought you had to have a character of at least level 55 and you could turn them into a Death Knight... personally that would have been kinda cool. Instead it's just having any character of 55 on that server will allow you to create a new Death Knight with a starting level of 55.

So now that I got that figured out (dur!) I launched the game. Right out the gate they hit you with all kinds of cool content.. you get to place runes on your weapons that add stats to it and also makes them glow as if they were enchanted; a profession I never tried due to it costing so much gold, so this is a neat thing.

I probably played for 3 or 4 hours which is a really long time for me, and all I have to say is this is fantastic fun! There are a lot of people complaining that it's too easy at first, that they practically give you a mount, and halfway decent gear from the start, but I think that was done on purpose.

So far all I've done are the startup quests which are like a training area. I finished up one of the last ones this morning before work, so I'm eager to get home and play some more. For the record, I haven't even set foot on the new areas yet

I don't have screenshots, but I may upload a movie or two over the weekend. This is going to be good fun, I can tell already!

Lich King is here! World of Warcraft

Picked it up an hour ago.. Unfortunately I'm at work

Can't wait to get home and get started on this! I know I should work on my Level 70 Hunter for a few things.. but I know I'll end up re-rolling my level 60 Paladin and spend the night playing as a Death Knight

More impressions to follow as I play

Some Gameplay footage from WoW

So it seems video uploading is working again

That being said, here are a few Videos from WoW:

Hunter hits level 70! w00t!

When you hit 70 you can purchase a flying mount.. sweet stuff!

One of my "Rare" hunter pets... This Owl has a unique color and only spwans in one area in the world and can only be tamed under certain conditions

Another rare hunter pet, this Gorilla has a unique color and is a rare spawn

All in all fun stuff. The expansion comes out in a week, and I'm really looking forward to it!

My Hunter hits 70! Halloween Edition!

I have a few vids but I'm having issues with them... stupid technology.

Anyways there are tons of Halloween funs going on, like years past there are masks and complete "transformations" here are a handful I came across and saved:

Whisp Costume

Traditional Skeleton

One of my favs, pumkin head!

Leper gnome

This one turns you into a black cat for 20 secs!

Human Ghost

My 2nd fav, a spectral ghost thingy that had you to hover

Want info on any of these? Let me know
