Pop Culture References In World of Warcraft

Everyone reading this probably knows that I like two things: Popular Culture and World of Warcraft. Is it any surprise then that World of Warcraft is filled with pop culture references? Here is the (nearly) entire list of those references, courtesy of the fine folks at Blizzplanet.

Neq Wins STV Fishing Tournament!

Today my World of Warcraft Druid Neq won the Stranglethorn Vale Fishing Tournament! She chose the coveted prize Arcanite Fishing Pole. Congratulations Neq!

World of Warcraft Talent Calculator

I found a nifty online tool that can be used to experiment with World of Warcraft class talent builds. This tool can also be used to share builds with your friends. Go here or use the link in the right column of the front page of my blog to get there anytime!

Billie Piper Quits Dr. Who!

Yes, apparently it's true and confirmed by the BBC: Billie Piper (Rose Tyler) will quit Dr. Who at the end of the current British season (her second). Read about it here from Sci-Fi. And, here's the official BBC statement. Yes, that was a massive sob you just heard from the assembled Dr. Who fandom. :(

Taking a Break From Questing...

Here we see Neq taking a break from all of that questing and spending a quiet afternoon fishing at the Stagnant Oasis in The Barrens. The ever narcoleptic Panda Cub snoozes beside her. Fishing is a secondary profession in World of Warcraft but Neq treats it like a serious addiction. Blue Overalls by Twiddley and sandals by Halston.
