The Queue: Electronic books? Well, I never!

I want to get an ebook reader. The new Kindle looks great, but they're sold out until some nebulous date in September. Until then, I'll be carrying around a clipboard and tapping on it while talking like Capt. Picard.
Zebrina asked:
What will happen to the AQ bug mounts? Will they work outside AQ now? I can see them working in the new sandy zones. My poor bug needs to get some use; it's very lonely these days.
Blizzard recently stated that it has no plans to make the silithid mounts usable outside of Ahn'Qiraj.
Jonathan asked:
What will happen to the DK's starting zone now that Arthas is dead?
Nothing. It takes place in the past and always has.
squig_masta asked:
Here's a question that's been bugging me. We know the inscription profession is going to be reworked and that virtually every existing glyph will not exist in its current form (if it exists at all), but do we know anything about what's going to happen with our existing recipes if you are a scribe? Will there be a one:one conversion ratio, or will we have to relearn new some recipes? I doubt they're that far along in the beta, but it'd be good to know if I should bother learning inscriptions now or wait till the overhaul.
You'll still be able to make glyphs, but they're one-time use items that permanently add the ability to use that glyph to the player's spellbook. Any glyphs you have in your bags are automatically learned and in your spellbook in the Cataclysm beta.
Scribes are getting a bunch of other really interesting things, such as Adventurer's Journals, which give XP boosts, or Fortune Cards, which grant you a piece of vendor trash worth anywhere from 10 silver to 5,000 gold.
Ryu3010 asked:
I know they said Winterspring hadn't recieved any changes ... but what about Un'Goro? I haven't heard anything about that area, either.
Un'Goro received a questing overhaul, and with it, one of the best new NPCs in Cataclysm: Maximillian of Northshire. If you like Don Quixote, you'll love Maximillian.
I just hope you weren't too attached to Marshal's Refuge. Or Linken.

Oh I _love_ Maximillian, stumbled upon him while exploring the area (well, actually I even heard him before finding him) and he's one of the main reason I planned to level my Tauren paladin Kalimdor-only (the current lack of later quests in Tanaris and news of the rich quests in the Badlands drew me out once though)

I bought a Sony Reader since it was cheaper than the Kindle and I love it. Best toy ever.

NOOOO! Not Linken!
Vladeon Aug 24th 2010 4:24PM
It's ok, I'm sure he just found a mystical sword and fell asleep for 10 years... he should be ok.

Is the crystal cave behind Marshall's Refuge still there?? I love that cave!
Arrav Aug 24th 2010 5:02PM
Actually if your referring to orcarina of time, he was sealed in the sacred realm for 7 years not 10.
im sorry, i played orcarina of time recently and have been nerding out over zelda for about a week now.

@Arrav - What's an "orcarina?"
Kyrro Aug 24th 2010 5:18PM
@Arrav
If your referring to Ocarina of Time; it's spelled Ocarina of time.
Zelius Aug 24th 2010 6:06PM
He's actually referring to the goblin-made game Orcarina of Time.
Similar titles include Super Mario Orcs and Mike Tyson's Orcout.
Nipah Aug 24th 2010 6:18PM
Orcarina - An orc who is a ballerina.
Namy Aug 24th 2010 6:22PM
No it's like the regualar Ocarina but with whales :)
Sorithal Aug 24th 2010 6:56PM
It's rather obvious Linken would go.
If you watched Escape From Orgrimmar, you'd see that Linken dies.

Well there is a song in his memory. We will all remember this great hero.
Linken, he come to town! He come to save, the princess Zelda! Ganon took her away, and now the children don't play, but they will, when Linken saves the day, HALLELUJAH!!!

I'm going to miss Linken. One of the coolest references out there in Azeroth.
I'll go an take a few screenshots before it's too late.
Fryiuer Aug 24th 2010 4:08PM
I thought Linken was still in? Oh Noes!
Pizzaman4500 Aug 24th 2010 10:22PM
You've obviously never seen the Illegal Danish series...
Quidamtyra Aug 24th 2010 4:08PM
Linken =*(

Perfect timing, I Just posted this in the DK article, but this is the question asking/answering place, so it can go here too:
Is there a visual graphic for the Death knight blood mastery shielding effect, or is it just a buff icon? I was really hoping for a form fitting shifting blood red skin ala shadow shield from NWN.

LINKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!
