This weekend will be weird. I&#8217;m not sure what&#8217;s going to be going on &#8211; but I will be writing as always for sure. Beta client &#8230; first impression? Kind of annoying. It&#8217;s still telling me there&#8217;s 4GB of something to download but whatever it is, it isn&#8217;t downloading it. However, I can still play &#8212; but zone loading is taking forever.<b><br \/>\n    <\/b><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wow.com\/bloggers\/christian-belt\/\"><b>Christian Belt<\/b><\/a><b> (@<\/b><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/ihatewarlocks\"><b>ihatewarlocks<\/b><\/a><b>)<\/b>: I&#8217;ll be finishing up <em>DeathSpank<\/em>, with my daughter playing the role of Sparkles the Wizard, my trusty spellcasting sidekick. Hmmm. Maybe I should switch with her, let her do the spanking of death while I assume the familiar mantle of back-row clothie. Oh, and the beta launcher is ok by me. I ran the thing, waited until it got into the green (only 6 hours left!) and then hopped in. Aside from a few minor glitches (missing sound effects, music starting then stopping suddenly, the occasional weird graphical pop-in) the game was completely playable. I approve, for now.<b><br \/>\n    <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wow.com\/2010\/08\/07\/wrup-infuriating-launcher-detected\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>WRUP: Infuriating launcher detected<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Filed under: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wow.com\/category\/wow-insider-business\/\" rel=\"tag\">WoW.com Business<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wow.com\/2010\/08\/07\/wrup-infuriating-launcher-detected\/\">WRUP: Infuriating launcher detected<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wow.com\">WoW.com<\/a> on Sat, 07 Aug 2010 14:00:00 EST.
