If there was ever a crack of the internet (besides porn) it would be World of Warcraft. Untold numbers of players have lost countless wives, girlfriends and jobs in pursuit of, well, who knows really?

And today, which we will call Black Thursday, the expansion pack Wrath of the Lich King has been released, opening the game up for even more hours of mining and questing and what not. I’m not exactly sure what a Lich King is, but it sounds like some sort of fungus.

But start researching the Death Knight leveling spec and in preparation for the Nexus War. The Utgarde Keep has new importance and you’ll need a Northrend Map to help navigating new areas. I’ve no idea what any of that means, but the line around the Gamestop by my house last night says that a lot of other people do.

So yeah, enjoy it, but remember to go outside every couple of hours.
