Random Thursday Friday Thoughts

Bleh, late due to feeling bleh, so here are some bleh:

Blizzard appears to be starting to take serious note of the Wrath leak sites. The 'Official' (see: not official) leak site has been (temporarily?) muzzled and other leak sites are getting a little twitchy. Ironically it's probably Blizz's PR department flexing it's muscles - pre-release info is magazine fodder and they tend to guard said info jealously.

Apart from that there hasn't really been any new interesting Alpha content which hasn't been chewed over ad nauseum on the more high-brow discussion sites/blogs. My gut tells me that Hunter/Paladin talents should be expected in mid-July along with the rumoured Dalaran Alpha patch. Till then, any denouncements of Wrath from Paladins on the official forums should probably be treated with laughter rather than credence

As I noted earlier in the week 2.4.3 is due to be released quite soon, including the long anticipated 'Pre-Expansion Money Sink'. No news on if Grifta will be using his grafting skills to flog a 'Genuine Gigantik' 18-sloter for 50g a piece.

As I write Croatia is playing Turkey in the Euro 2008 4tr Finals. Having monstered their way through their group I think they should beat Turkey handily. However take that with a pinch of salt, I didn't expect Germany to school the Portuguese as they did.

A Website to put in your daily favourites if you haven't already: NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day. Not all of them are hardcore astronomy per se, for instance today's is a great pick of the Moon on the Grecian Horizon.

Grats need to go to Honorshammer who has just been drawn for a Figureprint Model, he's now just got to decide what gear he goes for (power-gathering Judgement and a Sulfuras is the obvious answer ;) ). Also deserving of Grats is Alex whose Paladin Firelight is now the owner of Darkmoon Card:Crusade and Shard of Contempt. This should make a big difference to his personal DPS as Rage (his guild on SWC-EU) moves forward to Illidan and then Sunwell. Fingers crossed they can make it to Kil'Jaedan before the expansion hits.

I think that's if for now. There was something else, but I can't for the life of me remember what it is. Bah, I'll update this post later if I can think of it.
