If you're into graphics and are distracted by the bugs found in Blizzard's World of Warcraft, you can wage war against it (like the guys on the left) or you could simply heed the words of blue poster Tigerclaw.

in the forums, he listed down the guidelines that you guys can use when reporting on the bugs found in the game's graphics. Head on over to full article to know more.

Just in case you're having the same problem as Paynegwynn, whose WoW won't run its video recording feature properly on his Mac for some reason, then here's an explanation.

It turns out that there's some conflict between the video recording feature and a GPU bug. The folks at Blizzard have noted this already and it turns out that they've actually already disabled the option to record videos. Here is Blizz poster Tigerclaw's full explanation:

At present there is a bug in the driver software for that GPU which inhibits our video recording feature (in fact can lead to a crash) - so we disabled it for now on that hardware. However, once an updated driver is released for that machine which addresses that issue, we can post instructions on how to re-enable video recording on that configuration. It's not ideal but this is the best we can do given the bug that we ran into.

Though the solution implemented (meaning the disabling of the recording function) is rather off-putting, it really is the best thing they could do, given that the problem is hardware-based.

The final patch for pre-expansion WoW is here. Nethaera and Greyson, two of Blizzard's community managers, posted two different announcements for this latest patch, which sets the scene for the arrival of the long-awaited expansion.

Within the update, perhaps the biggest expansion-related addition is the arrival of Kazzak's subordinate, Kruul. Kruul and his own small platoon of monsters will be appearing near the major cities, as well as in the Azshara, Eastern Plaguelands, Hinterlands, Searing Gorge, Silithus, Stranglethorn Vale, and Winterspring regions. Be sure to look out for these guys and to either avoid them entirely or chase them down to fulfill a new pre-Burning Crusade quest.

In the meantime, here are the patch notes for 2.0.3, which Greyson also calls "The Burning Crusade". Expect the real Burning Crusade next week, and make sure you have a fresh quiver of arrows. You're definitely going to need them.

General

• A stirring of events has begun throughout Azeroth and rumor points to the Dark Portal as its source.
• Mazk Snipeshot in Booty Bay now sells bullets.
• The Auction House now sorts by buyout price first, then by current price. This should filter all of the items with outlandish buyout prices to the bottom of the list.
• Players will now need to be level 58 to pass through the Dark Portal. (The Burning Crusade Expansion must be installed.)
• Collector Edition pets are now blue items and a confirmation dialogue will appear to prevent accidental deletion.
• Pets will no longer attack targets that are under the influence of crowd control (sheep, banish, etc.).
• The title "Scarab Lord" can now be chosen in game for select players.
