Unboxing The Cataclysm
Wondering what's in the Collector's Edition of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm? Take this photo tour and salivate at the goods that just showed up on our desks.
Big slide-open box, just like the rest of the modern Blizzard Collector's Editions. This'll look real nice on my shelf.
Here we go. Getting into the goods now. I have instantly quadrupled my collection of Deathwing pictures.
How hard do you have to try to muster up excitement for this mousepad? I'm glad it's in here just so I can get Hanson off my back about getting a mousepad for his desk. Have fun staring down Deathwing every day, guy.
This piece of art has been released forever, but here it comes in quality coffee table book form with bonus lore excerpts. Good: replacement for FF XIII strategy guide in my living room. Bad: One step closer to Worgen LARPing.
Is it wrong of me to kinda hate goblins? Oh man, this rerolling Alliance thing might be affecting my brain.... Nonetheless, hooray for soundtracks! Now I can be reminded of what I'm missing when I turn the music off on Thursday.
I'm trying to envision a situation in which I watch the Cataclysm behind the scenes DVD. Maybe when the servers explode at midnight tonight?
You know, the WoW card game is actually good. Not good enough to get me to throw any (more) money down the collectible card game hole, but good enough for me to play with the cards that I already own. Because I definitely didn't buy dozens of packs trying to get the turtle mount. That would have been silly.
And there you have it: the Collector's Edition of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. I didn't bother showing the guest pass cards, because nobody cares. Email me if you want one of the codes; I'm not going to use them. Of course, we all know what the most important part of this whole package is:
Lil' Deathwing is the freaking win.
