Over at Something Awful, an alleged ex-Blizzard Europe GM is answering questions from the fray on what it's really like behind the curtain. From 25-year accounts to GM Island, there are some interesting questions and answers on the front page, although you'll have to subscribe to Something Awful if you want to read the entire thread.

GMs don't speak out frequently about their jobs, but it can be a thankless task. From newbie questions to insults and petty disputes, the GMs have to put up with a lot from us; but without them the world would run much less smoothly. Yesterday was France's Labour Day, meaning that no GM tickets were available, so I dread to think what they will be deluged with this morning.

There's more about the life of a GM on the WoW website; Blizzard are often recruiting, if this sounds like a dream job. Of course, there are other ways of getting paid to play WoW!

Looks like with all the other folks making documentaries about WoW, Blizzard decided there was too much action there to not get in on it themselves. Now available from the official shop is the official WoW Behind the Scenes DVD. it features commentaries by the devs, re-mastered WoW cinematics, and some other goodies.

I'm a sucker for any gaming documentaries, and this one I'm sure will contain some interesting stuff, but the real bonus is that it's only ten bucks, so it can't be that bad a purchase. Or you can just wait for all the cool stuff to show up on YouTube...
