Shifting Perspectives: A limited number of people know the troubles I’ve seen

Every Tuesday, Shifting Perspectives explores issues affecting feral/restoration druids and those who group with them. This week, we equivocate on the best means of filling a bottomless pit.

Beta build 12759 dropped early Saturday morning, and with it the introduction of mastery and quite a few changes to the feral and restoration specs. I think Blizzard may even have fixed some of the issues with feral damage, but the newest bug on the block is making that a little difficult to tell. The default scrolling combat text is now broken — you can’t see how much damage or healing you’re doing to hostile mobs or friendly players, respectively — so at best, you’re confined to guesses based on how much health the mob’s losing when you hit it. For me, this requires squinting at a very small portion of a laptop screen with my nose two inches from the monitor, and I’ll be damned if I’ll wind up financing the purchase of another Maserati for my ophthalmologist.

WoW Moviewatch: I’ve Been Everywhere

If you’re looking for a change from the usual pop or rap featured in WoW filk, allow me to share something entirely different. This is I’ve Been Everywhere by World of Filkcraft. This movie and song was recommended by Mavericace who recognized it as a cover of Johnny Cash’s original song. World of Filkcraft took the lyrics, of course, and tailored them to Azeroth.

The machinima is pretty appropriate to the song, which serves as a travellers love for the many places in Azeroth. If you listen closely, you can chart just about everywhere there is to go in Azeroth. Until Deathwing blows it up, of course.

This is actually one of my favorite pieces of WoW filk in a while. I’m excited to see what these folks might do next, and I definitely hope they stick around for a while.


Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch! Have suggestions for machinima we ought to feature? Toss us an e-mail at machinima AT wow DOT com.
