Yes, it’s true there’s a whole episode dedicated to this game. And the good news is that it’s airing this upcoming week 10/04/06 so you won’t have to wait long. Until then you can check out this short teaser.

I was wondering if this was going to happen. Of course I haven’t found any official postings other than from news sites - nothing on RedOctane’s site right now.

We are very very happy to hear that Harmonix is being acquired by MTV. Thats a major deal for them, and we couldnt be happier for our Cambridge neighbors.

Man.. The Burning Crusade has be all excited. I just can’t wait to get in there and play. And I play ALOT of WoW now.

If you missed the You Tube Tours of the Burning Crusade, they are gone now, Blizz had them tossed out, but wow.. they looked so beautiful. If nothing else, Blizzard has done a great job of slow rolling information out, so that by the time it launches, people will have already been drooling over it.

Beyond the Dark Portal lies the shattered realm of Outland, the broken remains of the orcs’ homeworld, Draenor. Among the ruins of this world, the survivors of the cataclysm are trying to rebuild, and in other parts of Outland, life continues to thrive. Those brave enough to make the journey through the Dark Portal will find new allies, new enemies, and limitless adventure beyond an untamed horizon.
