(And then watch the show on Monday nights at 8; it could use more viewers and it's really quite good.) But what is a high-level Paladin doing in

just watched this episode again (for about the 60th time) and relished in a memory of my first time playing WoW - being unabashedly hit on by a female dwarf pally while i was aimlessly wandering around duskwood as a level 14 human mage, thinking that was the way to find darnassus (hey, i was young, low leveled, and impressionable. cut me some slack.).

You know you play WoW too much when you can spot the exact point that was shot... STV, Wildshore (East of BB - West of Jageuro Isle) at 33,77

I'm glad to see WoW in other streams of media. It just shows how popular this game is becoming.

Seriously, are we playing the same game? None of the starting zones looks like that. Come on!

That reveal, and the entire episode (especially the sandwiches gag) just killed. Please watch this show, it's awesome.
