Magazine Update: Issue #2 Coming Soon
For those of you that have subscribed to
World of Warcraft: The Magazine
and haven't checked your email recently, good news! The
next issue
should be out soon!
Our gnomes, trolls, and elves are hard at work wrapping up Issue 2, which features a behind-the scenes interview with the team that creates the quests in World of Warcraft, exclusive screenshots of the world after Cataclysm, and an exhaustive guide to Icecrown Citadel. In the meantime, here's a sneak preview of the cover for you to download as a subscriber-exclusive desktop wallpaper. Just click the link below.
Obviously, I'm not going to post the wallpaper for you or else it wouldn't be exclusive.
;)
However, Blizzard did the same thing in the last email, and later (a month or so after the magazine was mailed) released the wallpaper to the general public. So if you're wanting it for your background, just sit tight! I will tell you this, it appears to be Deathwing and Alexstraza duking it out. Or if you just can't wait for the wallpaper and you want to learn all the secret stuff in the magazine, head on over and [url=

New Information About the Magazine
Some of you may remember a while back a
blog
I had posted about the new
World of Warcraft Magazine
that Blizzard was producing. When I and the other customers ordered the magazine, Blizzard had given an estimate of 8 - 10 weeks for delivery. Unfortunately, it has been overdue.
Just a few minutes ago though, I received an email regarding the magazine. If you purchased your magazine but failed to receive an email, then this information is relevant to you! Even if you didn't purchase a magazine there is a surprise!

My Throat! It Burns!
/cough
It's flu/cough/cold season again and I've been running a fever, had a sore throat, and hacking my lungs out since Sunday, so I've been confined to my house so that I can rest. It's strange, but whenever I'm feeling fine, I always wish that I could go home and relax, maybe level up an alt, pig out on some junk food, etc. Yet when I am actually
forced
to be home, I wish that I wasn't sick so I could get out of the house and
do
something! But I can't, so I wander around the house listlessly, looking for something to do.
I don't feel very hungry, so no gobbling down my sweets; I can't read a book, 'cause my head hurts so much it's hard to concentrate on the words; I can't play any video games on my computer, because staring at the screen (which is pretty close to my face) hurts my eyes after a while; so I usually just go upstairs, lay down on the couch and watch old movies that I've seen a kajabillion times before.
So I'm pretty bored out of my skull. But that got me thinking: What do you guys do when you are sick and confined to home? Do you play video games? Watch movies? Read bo
