WoW Insider Show on hiatus this weekend

Sadly, my friend, the Conan to my Andy, the Don Quixote to my Sancho Panza (I never did get my governorship) Michael Sacco is feeling under the weather and so, this weekend, there will be no WoW Insider show . We considered doing the show with just me hosting, but the prospect of an entire show dedicated to my poor choice in accents (is it Scottish, Russian, or pirate? I can’t tell either) and talking about tanking on a warrior in excruciating detail didn’t seem like the best move.


WoW – The Future of Tanking in WoW at Ten Ton Hammer

Final Fantasy XIII – First Impressions

I’m 14 hours into Final Fantasy XIII, which curiously enough means I haven’t even left the “tutorial” part yet, which lasts for about 20 hours before you are given basic functionalities like choosing your group members or choosing where to go. So I’m not calling this a review. But as I’ll be away from my PS3 for the coming two weeks, that means I won’t write a review anytime soon
