Podcast Reviews

If you really like listening to WOW podcasts, you will want to head over to r9sid9nt9vil's blog and read the podcast reviews s/he's posting.  Once you arrive, click on Reviews in the categories on the right side and all the reviews will be there, latest on top.  The Nov. 24 posting talks about the methodology for reviews, so it is a good place to start.  Whether you agree with the review or not, you likely will find new podcasts to add to your listening rotation.

The Shattering Allows Renaming of Demon Minions (Warlocks)

Warlocks rejoice!  You can get the new demon trainers (located near the warlock trainers) to rename your minions.  It costs 50 gold per creature but at least you can rename them.  (Or just go get them killed, and summon a new one.)

Cynwise is more positive but poses some interesting questions.

I'm not posting any "better than sliced bread" raves.  I'm looking for interesting discussions of what Cataclysm's coming means to the game and the game community.
