I’m sure most of you guys are getting ready to do some heavy shopping this weekend. RPG Trader one of the leading WoW gold shops was generous enough to share a 10% coupon off purchases from November 27th to November 31st. Visit their wow gold store and enter in coupon code “gobble” to knock off 10% off your entire purchase.

Also wanted to remind you folks to have a good time this Thanksgiving and enjoy your soon to come vacation. Also check out this new webcomic created by a friend of mine. It illustrates the difference between a Warhammer player and a World of Warcraft player. Hope you’ll enjoy it.

The queues in World of Warcraft has became unbareably long since the release of their new expansion. It’s unbelievable how much time I waste just staring at the screen. Oftenly I find myself watching a video or movie on my laptop while in queue. Lately I’ve already been watching most or if not almost all of the favorite shows and finding a lack of interest because of the fact that I have to continously pull my attention away once the queue is up.

My newest source of temporary entertainment is watching poker videos. It’s a new blog talking about poker and have some cool videos discussing about strategies and tips on winning and making some big bucks. It’s much better than taking those few minutes you got running around trying to farm a few gold or what not. I already have quite a surplus of what I need. I rather win some cash instead.

Video Poker Source provides an extensive list of popular casinos, some of my most favorite casino games including Blackjack and Texas Hold em Poker.  Give their site a look and check out some of their cool stuff. I’m sure there will be a thing or two that may catch your interest.

Looks like the chinese government wants a piece of the income earned by chinese gold farmers. A big whooping 20%. The 20% tax will only apply to personal income taxes while large companies are exempt. This may cause a little disruption on gold prices following the release of WotLK as well as the biggest holiday of the year. Stock up your gold for the holidays as you’ll know prices will probably rise.
