Gear Score is ruining the game.

Poke'n it up in Vashj'ir

Pokeadot’s video of upcoming zones in the Cataclysm expansion, deftly shot with him performing the scandalous female orc dance, has made it to the front page of WoW.com! His video has been seen by over 18,000 people in the past  72 hours alone! We hope here at Irnub.com that he will continue to come up with new and creative ways to entertain you, as he certainly has done well so far.

Cataclysm Beta Zone Preview: Vashj’ir

Cataclysm Beta zone Vashj'ir

Vashj’ir is one of the new 80+ questing zones being introduced into World of Warcraft’s latest expansion: Cataclysm. Much like Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord, Vashj’ir is paired with Mount Hyjal as one of two options you will have to begin your latest adventure. The zone is tuned for 78-81 level players which means those of you who will be jumping in right out of ICC will definitely breeze through the content – but don’t let that get in the way of your fun! Vashj’ir and Hyjal introduce us to the latest questing philosophy adopted by Blizzard, a system that has been refined yet again to an even higher standard. I have never been so immersed while playing WoW.

Cataclysm Beta Videos: Throne of Tides Dungeon and Blackrock Caverns

Two amazing video walk-throughs by the well known Cynical Brit. Watching these will be a breath of fresh air for many World of Warcraft players as the dungeons not only look challenging, but have some added pizazz with in-game cinematics and new graphics! The first is of the Throne of Tides Dungeon, the second 5 man you will encounter, and the first is Blackrock Caverns, a throwback to Blackrock Depths (though not quite as lengthy, even though it does has 5 bosses). Enjoy!
