		<description>You know what, BBB? I&#039;m going just start linking your articles at the Aerie, then post the following:

&quot;What B^3 said...but in about half the space.&quot;

		<description>Amen to that. I knew I couldn&#039;t be the only one who felt like this. I&#039;ve had to stop reading WoW Insider because they have picture spoilers on the main page every single day. I don&#039;t want my first look at Stormwind harbour to be a screenshot, I want it to be in Stormwind! Fine, host a gallery, but hide it behind a spoiler.

aaaanyway, good to know I&#039;ll be able to read your blog and not have to worry.</description>

		<description>&quot;Oh, yeah. One more thing. Anyone seen a flying anvil mount fer blacksmiths yet?&quot;

What do us leatherworkers get then? Flying animal carcasses?

I&#039;ll admit, I keep track of all the changes to druid talents and such. I just find it interesting, even if it&#039;s all subject to change. I&#039;ve also been looking at gear and loot lists a bit, since the current bliz philosophy is to have us tank in rogue gear...who knows how that will work.

But as far as what everything looks like? What zone is what? I won&#039;t touch it. I want the same experience I had walking through the dark portal the first time and seeing HFP. I swear, I think I stared at the outland sky for 10 minutes straight. I want to enter the first dungeon and ooh and aah at all the bosses, just like I did in ramps. I&#039;m really looking forward to wrath, partly because when I started wow, BC had just been released, and by the time I was 70, most of it was old news. This time around, I want to be one of the ones trying new content.

Well, sorta new content that&#039;s been around on beta for a few months. Ya know what I mean.</description>

		<description>Originally, I was thinking of posting various screenies and maybe some videos of the new zones from beta.  But I ended up deciding that when all&#039;s said and done, that&#039;s not really fair.  So I&#039;m writing all my beta information down in the form of in-character letters to Its&#039; parents.  Hopefully, that should be enough indirection to let me talk about cool stuff without actually spoiling the surprise.

Plus, I got to set fire to Tiddles&#039; tail, which I can only imagine being hilarious.  :D</description>

		<description>Argh makes me feel even worse that I couldn&#039;t get the &#039;more&#039; filter to work in feed readers on my recent post... :(  The reason being.... I totally agree with you -  I don&#039;t want to spoil anyones fun and I don&#039;t believe in looking in depth at class balance and changes in the beta. 

I&#039;m having fun looking at abilities and new stuff and not posting much about the beta because I remember, way back, when I walked into Terrokkar, along a long windy path and saw Shattrath for this first time.  Nothing could have prepared me for that moment and it would have been sad if someone had taken it away from me.

I am a bit... miffed at the people in my guild who&#039;re decrying loot, class mechanics, instances etc.... when it&#039;s all a work in progress.  Confuses me to hell, though I do play a little with &#039;oh this ability would be cool in x situation&#039;.

&quot;some large news sites I read regularly seem to have dropped talking about the current game entirely, and seem to think that what everyone wants is to know everything, and I mean everything, to the smallest detail, about WotLK well in advance, even going so far as to speculate on how imbalanced certain builds or talents are. &quot;

This is getting a bit tiring for me too, to be honest...  It&#039;s sometimes easier to find out about what&#039;s going on in the beta from reading such sites than... actually playing the beta.

		<description>Wall of text indeed, I think I only read about 1/4 of that... ugh.  Sorry man.

It certainly seems you&#039;re directing this at WoWInsider, and I have to agree on that front.  They&#039;ve been struggling to find things to talk about for some time now, and all this wrath info is pure gold for them.  Why would they pass it up?  In their grasping for things to talk about, they&#039;re going to be dumping spoilers all over the floor without warning... my only advice is to just plain not read their stuff till Wrath comes out... if you can.</description>

		<description>Bleargh.  That link&#039;s way too long.  This one should be better:
http://preview.tinyurl.com/6ken8f

Sorry!  If you delete that other post, this is just a super spin on a movie trailer for The Shining.  I never saw it, and I never will... but it&#039;s tangentially related to the spoiler concept...</description>

		<description>I&#039;m more in the curiosity is about to kill the cat mode myself, though the aspect of the beta which interests me more than nitty-gritty details and individual specs is how the devs want to evolve roles and group / class dynamics.

Trying to get a peek into the class designers&#039; minds and trying to, by extension, to anticipate what impact it will have on the larger picture with 10 more levels, that&#039;s my kind of dope. I just hope I&#039;m not losing too many readers because I rave about these things :)

That being said, the only two things which made me chuckle in Armageddon were playing golf from the oil rig to the treehugger ship, and the written sentence &quot;65 million years later...&quot; after the short dinosaur extinction intro.</description>

		<description>BBB, citing the Shining brought this to mind:
http://community.artsucks.com/043FBFFFF000D5FA70017000565C0/Content/ContentDetail.aspx

I happen to detest horror movies, and anything by Stephen King on general principle.  Still, this particular little &quot;alternate trailer&quot; for The Shining has got to be one of the greatest spin jobs I&#039;ve seen.  I&#039;ve not even seen the movie, but knowing King as I do, it&#039;s not one I want to see.</description>
