Cataclysm Beta Broken

BRK reports that the latest version of the Cataclysm beta has broken his loading screen and  a lot of other things.  Apparently beta forum rioting is about to break out.  Just a friendly warning if you are in the beta and haven't downloaded the latest patch yet--Don't.

Big Red Kitty Decodes Cataclysm Beta Subtext

If you want to know what playing the Cataclysm beta is like, Big Red Kitty details the experience by explaining the "real " meaning behind the beta introduction.  Funny but true!

A Mage's Five Main Stats (And Why They Hate Hunters)

Larissa's guest post for Armegeddon's Coming discusses what she things are the most important stats for a mage--agility, attack power, hit rating, diplomacy and mana regeneration.

To understand the refererences to mage blogs and mage bloggers who give out misleading information, read this.  Please note that BRK didn't actually diss mage blogs, but he didnn't disagree, either.

I can see it's going to be a month of mages versus hunters.

The Return of Big Red Kitty?

The most famous and beloved Beast Mastery Hunter of them all, Big Red Kitty, retired from the game and blogging a year ago.  Recently folks who still visit his blog for hunter tips and insight discovered the content has disappeared, replaced by a cartoon hinting that he might be returning.  Speculation is that he is in the Cataclysm alpha and will soon be posting over the summer about his experiences.  In anticipation of this, I've added a link to Big Red Kitty in Favorite Links.  In the meantime, you can read BRK's other blog which pretty much confirms what is going to happen in the BRK Universe.

WOW Insider also mentions Big Red Kitty's article for them about using Power Auras.  Here's the direct link to it.  Note that BRK's movie is gone from WOW Insider and also from BRK's blog.

There is a video download link on his blog, though.  You might still be able to download it.  I didn't test this.
