Well, WoW's in the crosswords. We've gone mainstream. Time to pack it all in, trade out our fixie bikes and obsessions with animation and nerd stuff, put on a real suit, and get a real job.

Or... it's time to really get obscure. Our bonus question of the week: Now that WoW has been co-opted by the mainstream media, what truly hipster activity do you embrace to stay unique?

Brewing beer, writing novels, and arguing on the internet doesn't count.

TradeChat's Panser returns with this week's WoW Insider news recap, where we look back at the hottest news from the past week and whatever other kickin' rad things may have come our way. This week's topics include:

• Blizzard's done stolen Lore
• Bill Westenhofer announced part of WoW movie
• Blizzard art on display at Seattle museum
• .. and the game's on a crossword
• How you can still attend BlizzCon
• Remember your first day in WoW?

Well, if you haven't been watching the blog today, you might not have heard: Hearthstone has been announced. An online, free-to-play digital card game, Hearthstone might start a whole new wave of WoW madness. TradeChat explains the game, shares the preview, and basically tells us what's up. Find out what we know so far about the new game!

With patch 5.2 right around the corner, we're all champing at the bit to get started, and the folks at Blizzard are doing everything in their power to stoke the flames of anticipation. Check out the official preview and see if it doesn't make you rub your hands together with glee. Nethaera dishes the details on the hows, wheres, whys, and whos for the upcoming content.

Much like the Operation: Shieldwall and Dominance Offensive quests from 5.1, level 90s will automatically get the "Thunder Calls" quest upon entering the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Alternately, you can go to the Shado Pan Garrison at Townlong Steppes to pick up the intro quest. After that, you'll be tasked with making it to the Isle of Thunder on your own -- and it won't be easy! After your first trip, the Shado Pan will provide a portal to the appropriate faction destination for your further questing convenience.

I'm more excited for patch 5.2 than I have been for a WoW patch in a good long while; probably since Icecrown, to be honest! Lei Shen, it's time to face the might of the heroes of Azeroth!

Form of, a patch 5.2 background download!

Yes, it's that special, ney magical, time of the patch cycle when content hits the background downloader to be delivered to your eagerly waiting hands. Where you'll do approximately nothing with it all, since everything being downloaded is just artwork and large assets for patch 5.2.

Could this be an indication patch 5.2 is on the horizon? Not immediately, no. This is just a good sign that Blizzard has the major things ready and is just working out the kinks on the way that the systems and mechanics work. Those kinks might take another month to work out, but hey, that's what the PTR is for.

In the mean time enjoy this 1gb download!
