This month’s Beckett Massive Online Gamer Magazine has a Feature Cover Story from yours truly on the record-breaking award-winning release of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. I bring you the play by play, everything from the early portions of the pre-expansion event, right up and through the actual launch.

Unfortunately, since it is an official magazine and all that jazz, I can’t publish my writings here on this site. But all you need to do is run on down to your local newsstand and pickup a copy. You can’t miss the huge Worgen on the cover…

In his third consecutive appearance in Beckett Massive Online Gamer Magazine, Sprawl this time is featured covering the Rogue class in a multi-page article on the upcoming World of Warcraft Cataclysm expansion. He also covers his adventures playing through the new Lord of the Rings Online Free-to-Play, which just went live back towards the end of September.

So rush out to the newsstand to pickup the latest copy and be sure to subscribe to Beckett Massive Online Gamer. We suspect Sprawl will continually be featured for many issues to come.

As almost everyone in the MMO gaming industry is probably aware, today was the release of the World of Warcraft Cataclysm Opening Cinematic. A new commercial appeared during Sunday afternoon’s football game and immediately the web was abuzz with the pure awesomeness that is Deathwing. If you haven’t seen it already, be sure to take a gander at the new opening movie that will play the very first time you log into World of Warcraft Cataclysm sometime after December 7th.

I put together this montage video for IGN Entertainment’s WoW Vault that shows all of the areas that were rendered in the opening cinematic. Players of the largest MMO will be able to visit all of these locations that Deathwing traveled on his very first flight of freedom.
