Cataclysm

So, I was invited to the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Beta. I've been taking screencaps of everything thus far, and I've got images of the new Orgrimmar ready. Also, I started the Goblin starting area, and it's as wacky as you can imagine. I'm not going to give pictures of that because I can't do it justice.

Okay. I'm going to list off everything I've done thus far. Tell me if this sounds real. I was telling Cosette all this as I was doing it and she had to come to my computer just to see that I was telling the truth.

• You're the manager of a soda company. Soda made from the very mineral EVERYTHING is made of and in fact made goblins as super-smart as they are now. They put it into a soda.


• You just got promoted, so you have to gather soda cans from the mines, and then put together a pimp suit for your promotion party.


• You have a hot rod. The radio plays polka.


• Pirates crash the party, hired by the Trade Prince. The island starts to blow up at the same time, and the Trade Prince tells you that he'll let you on his yacht - the only boat on the island - for a bajillion Moolah.


• To get the money, you have to run over pirates in your car to get their stolen loot, steal the Trade Prince's art collection and pawn it for the money, and blow up your own corporate building to collect the insurance money.


• Once you get to the yacht, it comes across a naval battle between the Alliance and Horde. The Alliance have stolen something and the Horde are trying to get it back. They sink your ship along with each others'.


• At the shipwreck beachhead, monkeys have stolen all your bombs. To get revenge, you turn bananas into bombs and give them to the monkeys to eat.


• Your super special Goblin utility belt - that gives you your racial rocket boots and rocket launcher - can turn into a weedwhacker, a camera, and infra-red goggles. You use these all to set up the Horde base camp.


• The Town-In-The-Box you use to set up a town is constructed by putting the box on top of a TWELVE FOOT PILE OF GIANT DYNAMITE. You then blow up the dynamite WHILE STANDING ON TOP OF IT.


• Then you run around attaching jetpacks to chickens.
