SWoW Holiday Show #11 – WoW Addiction can be downloaded for free at www.StartingWoW.com

Welcome to this Starting WoW Holiday Show!

For those of you who have not been around since the start of Season 2, a Holiday show is basically what I do when I’m between seasons. Season two just finished, and season three has not yet started. Therefor, Holiday show. (And since I’m not restarting the numbering of the Holiday Shows, this makes this #11 instead of going all the way back to #1. So there!)

Today on the show, I attempt to announce the winner of that copy of Wrath of the Lich King, talk about WoW addiction, announce a new feature on the site and have a chat with you all, something I havn’t had the chance to do in a fair while.

Starting World of Warcraft Holidayshow #9, or episode 21 if you choose to count it like that, can be downloaded at www.StartingWoW.com for free!

Hello there! Why not have a listen?

Today on the show we cover a plethora o’ topics, and have a LOT of links for you to click on! First, I go over the news of the week, such as the release of the Cinematic Trailer for Wrath of the Lich King (Check the link below).

Next, I complete the scientific experiment started last week on the show. Next: News on how WoW is selling in game stores and a SHOCKING survay shows that surgeons who play WoW are better at their job then those who don’t.

Who would have thunk it?

This episode is more of an update then an actual show. You have been warned.

This week, my voice is fraked. It’s not working very well. So It is a short episode. We talk about the new EU Server, Blade’s Edge, and give a few hints as to what Season 2 will bring.

This episode was recorded BEFORE the Blizzard Invitational. Most of it, anyway.

This week we talk about the Blizzard Authenticator, some podcasty and websitey news, along with news of the Season 1 CDs, and ask a few questions about other games.
