Well there goes the neighborhood. Lv. 80 premade characters are available on beta servers. Only existing Beta testers will be able to access them and there’s a maximum of 3 available copies. I’m not opposed to this at all really but it does kind of bother me. At the very least they could fix some [...]

Here is the official announcement and the Diablo 3 Overture is FREE right now, so I suggest snagging that up quick! Somebody heard my prayers and now, all the Warcraft music I could ask for~
If you enjoy the music from Blizzard Entertainment games and have ever thought about ordering the soundtracks, doing so just got [...]

Well, there’s a lot going on in the World of Warcraft and also in the world of Spooner. There are site changes rolling around here like massive balls of human excrement, OH! and there’s a hurricane bearing down on my home. It’s also a category 4 at the moment and will probably kill me dead. [...]

As you already know (hopefully by reading this site) Blizzard dramatically changed the stats required for shaman to attain attack power. Originally we worked more like warriors or druid in that 1 point of STR was equal to 2 points of attack power. Basically what this did was limit our possible itemization terribly and had [...]

Awesome mount is awesome.
Hi everybodu and happy lunch hour. Here is a break down of all things posted today so far. As usual if anything new and exciting and clad in a thong happens I’ll be sure to post about it as well.
Discussion: Extensive Death Knight Changes (Sept. 3rd)
Discussion: Small Update for Priests, Druids, Shaman, [...]

“But baby! I LOVE YOU!”
Yeti’s are awesome; well, Wendigos or whatever. So it’s Tuesday, I’ve posted a few topics today that are worth checking out. Here there are in no particular order.
Tattoos for Characters in Wrath of the Lich King?
Discussion: Death Knight Obliterate and Scourge Strike changes in Wrath of the Lich King (Sept. 2nd)
Possible [...]

Happy Labor Day to those of us in the United States. Today is when most people don’t work and enjoy the sunshine and last fleeting moments of Summer. I on the other hand spent the day sweating, working on the site, and pulling my hair out the beta servers crashed over and over thus erasing [...]

Afternoon folks, I’ve been busy this morning again for the most part though much less hectic than yesterday. On days like these where I post a lot of different information I’m going to try and keep it a habit to post The Daily Spoon AFTER the fact and use it as a sort of recap [...]

This is more for artwork really. I saw that when I logged into the Beta last night the menu (aside from the new options button) has the credits working. Here are the screenshots of the credits rolling with all the really nice artwork in the background.
Caution as there are A LOT of images to go [...]

Good morning people. I’ve been busy since sunrise posting A LOT of information. So to kind of keep things somewhat readable for you all with the scrolling speed of this site, I’m recapping for you!
New Leatherworking Recipes in Wrath of the Lich King Beta 8885

Current List of Obtainable titles in Wrath of the Lich King
As [...]

Sorry I forgot to put this up much earlier but I was sleepy and only now that the caffine has elevated me to a higher plane of existance did I remember. Here are 23 new cooking recipes in the Wrath of the Lich King.
Once more thanks go to WOR for the screenshot collage.

Last night’s new build for the Wrath of the Lich King Beta brought a lot of really nice changes and a few subtle ones as well. The first I noticed was that you can now access video and audio options from the login screen! It’s about time.
Here you can access the video options, special effects, [...]

These images come from WotLKWiki which was a pretty solid go to site for me during the Alpha stages of the game. Recently, somebody posted new images of the unfinished airships that were discussed and that I found the video of (a little after Alpha was announced) and the two ships are still under construction [...]

For the more experienced reader of my site, you know that I am pretty much crazy for the music of this game. Some times I do cut it off since the looping can get a little distracting, however. That’s going to stop completely in Northrend.
Jayde over at World of Feedback is such a complete badass. [...]

Considering that I am completely in love with engineering, it makes me double happy to see us getting some very useful and incredible little gadgets in Wrath of the Lich King. The portable mail-box for one is downright awesome, and grenades/bombs now also doing siege damage means we’re going to have some much needed love [...]

Just a few patterns added this push but still nice to see Blacksmiths will be able to make some very impressive looking Paladin gear as well as shields. A big thank you as always to MMOC and WOR for their continued efforts at screen capping items and patterns that we can’t normally get to.

Just a fair warning for anybody looking at these images. This is still the beta and the first we’ve seen of any PVP gear in the Wrath of the Lich King. Everything is subject to change and I am not bothering at all posting the honor point costs for anything because they are 99% likely [...]

This zone is amazing from what I have seen so far. Not to mention the sheer scale is incredible. You’re pretty much as deeply immersersed in a Titan City as possible. There are flash frozen battles between giants and vykrul, what appear to be very rideable proto-dragons, a massive construction engine from the titans, an [...]

We’d all like to know when Wrath of the Lich King is hitting store shelves to take time off work or what not so we can snatch it up at midnight and have ample uninterrupted play time. While there is no official date set yet, there is a relatively narrow stretch of time that Blizzard’s [...]

I just recently received the entire series 1 for my wedding anniversary (they look badass mind you) so there’s still some major catching up to do, but for collectors like me around the world I am happy to announce that DC Unlimited’s next series of Warcraft figures has been released. You can visit the official [...]

One of my more favorite quests (and presumably all of you too) in the Burning Crusade is the Ring of Blood quest in Nagrand. It has great rewards for the level, it’s fun, gives tons of gold and experience; overall a pleasant experience. Also it’s a great place for some pretty heated PVP battles.
I was [...]

The title is pretty self explanatory. Healers typically downrank their spells in order to preserve mana during long fights and such, as well to spam a faster/cheaper spell in order to generate a crit heal that can buff the caster or the target in the case of priests/shaman/paladins.
Well those days are long gone, with good [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s damn early so let’s get this party started. Last night we all got a special treat with new images and changes in the Wrath of the Lich King beta where it was upgraded to build 8788. Also I’d like to let you know that Spooner the Orc Death Knight is possibly [...]

I saw this video a while back but lost the link, just now I found it again after renewed excitement. As you know from my post earlier, the Beta Realms for Wrath of the Lich King are going down for a new build and maintenance. This map of Icecrown was spotted and I can’t help [...]

Right as I get done patching, just my luck.
New build on the way people, hopefully it won’t be a massive amount of changes like we saw recently but that’s no problem! If it is I got the new pages setup to keep things nice and orderly. I’ll be time stamping them as well so you [...]

Yesterday Blizzcast Episode 4 aired (still hasn’t popped up on iTunes come on Blizzard how many times you dropping the ball this week?). The first part is a pretty interesting interview with a guy I admire a lot (Russel Brower) and about the music of Warcraft. The rest of the show is pretty centered around [...]

Well to help set Death Knights aside from the rest of you, Blizzard said that the voices would be tweaked to sound more, undeadish I guess. Then they were given a deep set blue glow from their eyes. No that wasn’t enough. Now, we have unique hair, skin tones, and facial experssions that will make [...]

So herein lies the nature of a Beta test, things change minute to minute and as more time passes, better resources are unearthed for your pleasure.
Some of this has already been posted by me earlier today but for the sake of keeping things shiny and sexy, here they are again with two times the flair.
Blacksmithing

Between Beta downloads (finally right?) and dealing with Blizzard’s downtime all day up until now, I’ve just now managed to get to this little item on my list. Possibly my favorite aside from the PVP stuff.
Dark Legacy Comics, Teh Gladiators, and of course our favorite Cru the Dwarf have all updated for the week.
The difference [...]

very two years, the Spirits of Competition grow especially fervent, and draw close to the mortal realm. During such times, members of both the Alliance and Horde can honor the spirits and earn Competitor’s Tabards by seeking to defeat one another in the battlegrounds. For victory in competition, they can also earn the spirits’ favor [...]
