Around Azeroth: The huggable abomination
No, Patchwerk, it’s … it’s cool. I really do want to play. I’d love to play with you, but you need to put your … intestines back first. Then we can play catch, or tag, or whatever the heck we can think up to do with fifty Death Knights stuck in a floating citadel. Maybe Red Rover. Just back up about five paces and drop the cleaver so I can clear my sinuses first. (Thanks to Rio for this screenie from Acherus in the Wrath beta!)
This image came to us straight from the Wrath of the Lich King beta — and we’d love to have your beta screenshots, too! If you have anything our readers might like, beta or not, sharing it is as simple as e-mailin with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing — use alt-Z to remove it. No more battleground scoreboards, please.

Gamestop has stopped online WotLK Collector’s Edition pre-orders
Until recently, Gamestop was offering pre-orders of the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, the Collector’s Edition.
At this point, you can still pre-order, but you’ll have to drop in at one of their locations, because according to their website, they are “currently not available online.”
Being Canadian, I’m an awfully sad panda right now. I could not decide if I wanted to pay the extra $20, plus customs, and have to wait an extra week at least in order to get my hands on one, and now I’m regretting not putting in the order. At least it would have been a back-up I could have canceled later!
I stopped into my local EB Games last night and was told that they do not know if, when, or how many copies they’ll be getting.
Of course, if you’re willing to shell out approximately $300 for a copy, Amazon has you covered. Anyone else have any leads?

Addon Spotlight: Mac Dual-boxing 1
The new Recruit-A-Friend program has taken the World of Warcraft community by storm, perhaps more so in the dual- and multi-boxing circles. I’ll admit that while I advocate enjoying the leveling process and experiencing the lore through quests and in-game events, once you’ve hit 70 a couple of times, the magic tends to wane. With the coming of Wrath of the Lich King, we’ve had some time to re-evaluate our WoW experience. For many of us, finishing up some alts has become a way to prepare for the expansion. I’ve had a number of alts since I started playing, but have only managed to ding two paladins and a rogue. Each time I play in a battleground I see a member of another class do something crazy cool and ponder rolling whatever class it is.
With the RAF program in full effect, I decided that dual-boxing with the 300% XP and Summon Friend ability would be the most efficient way to get my alts Wrath-ready. This How-To is specifically for players using Macs, but in essence many of the principles remain true for PC users.
Setup
The first thing you need to do is set up your “friend’s” account. This is done
