Maybe the Pandaren race coming to World of Warcraft isn’t cute enough for you. Or maybe they’re too cute already. Wherever you fall on this crucial issue, there’s one thing you need to know.
World of Warcraft and I never did really get along. Since its launch in 2004, I’ve lost track of the number of friends of mine who loved it. They’d tell me breathlessly about their druids, priests and hunters while extolling the benefits of the Alliance or the Horde. After ages of politely declining to join them, they’ve all moved on and given up on ever convincing me. Yet after all these years, the time may finally have come for me to re-evaluate WoW.

BlizzCon, the annual fan celebration of all things Blizzard-related gets a little less annual this year.
