We’re back in the studio together again… and completely slap happy, sick, and somewhat intoxicated. Find out this week why a live show would really be a bad idea as we insert outtake clips during the break. This week we somehow manage to also talk about Warcraft (although, only slightly) as we touch on Blizzard’s new Dungeon System, a look at why The9 is getting sued in China, introduce new World of Warcraft action figures, and spoil you with PTR goodness. Oh, we also almost forgot to talk about Race Changes… I know, you were worried.

Ghostcrawlers Smart Ass Comment of the Week
-Icecrown “harder” than Trial of the Crusader
They are harder in an absolute sense because they hit harder and have more health. They are not harder (for the most part) in a relative sense because you probably have better gear now than when you first went into ToC. Our goal is not to let players raid all the up until Icecrown and then throw a gate in front of them that says “Must be this elite to ride this ride.”
Now, if you are that elite, Arthas heroic says hi. (Source)
