So, as the last "content patch" has been out for a while, and we're just waiting on Mists, I want to look back at Cataclysm, the second expansion released since I started. I picked up WoW late in Burning Crusade, sometime 2.3 or 2.4, and I still have

I honestly had a couple too many mares... So I took a chance and bought 3 bundles, and lucked out with 2 more colts! *happy dance* Up first is Prince. He's named after a the horse of a local radio personality. (Gunner of WIVK, if you're curious.) He's a brown bay. This is Wild Card. He was a random purchase, so I lucked out. He's a golden palomino. And my third bundle was another filly...

Okay, Ascent has been a crashing BITCH on me lately. Like... several times a day. What killed it for me was my fiance decided to try it out... and every time we'd cam at each other, one of us would crash, when the other looked weird. So I went and grabbed Phoenix. Emergence isn't available for the Mac, so I just tried this. To say it's like Emerald is an understatement. I think I'm in love. <3

I'm not going to cover the three official viewers (Normal 1.2whatever, Viewer 2, and Snowglobe) as.. well... Almost no one uses the official ones. So, I'm looking at three of the ones on the TPVD.
