The reason why you're not having fantastical dogfights in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King right now lies in the physics. As in, it wasn't polished enough. That's what WoW's Tom Chilton revealed in the latest Blizzard podcast. The same podcast also featured senior Diablo III artist Mike Nicholson, who admitted that the new UI for Diablo 3 drew a lot of inspiration from WoW's UI.

Podcasts are an easy way to get someone updated on the latest news in the video game industry. The same can be said about World of Warcraft. While there are multiple podcasts on this video game such as The Instance and WoW: From 1 to 70, there are players who prefer getting information via Blizzard's own show called BlizzCast. Unfortunately, we haven't heard any updates on this for some time now. Thankfully, Community Manager Nethaera spoke about this on the forums. Find out what she had to say in the full article.

It's been months since BlizzCast Episode 2 was released, and some players of Blizzard's World of Warcraft are beginning to doubt there'd be another one. No need to fret though, because blue poster Nethaera reassured we'd get enough doses of developer talk soon enough. See the full article for more details.

Sometimes, all it takes is one podcast to get World of Warcraft fans excited about the next one.

In fact, the apparent excitement and curiosity of WoW players found expression in a myriad of questions directed at Blizzard blue poster Bornakk. How did he respond? Find out after the jump!

Blizzard Entertainment has sent word that the second episode of their new BlizzCast podcast will be available within the next few days.

This release is expected to feature twice the content of episode one from last January. Details on what Episode two may carry are available in the full article.

The official Blizzard podcast has finally gone live and in the first episode, Sam Didier (StarCraft II and World of Warcraft art) and Jeff Kaplan (WoW's Sunwell Plateau) were on the centerstage while Karune and Drysc were the interviewers.

Find out more in the full article, you can check out some Sunwell Plateau screenshots too.

The latest episode of Legendary Thread, 1UP's World of Warcraft podcast, is now up.

Check it out and learn a few tidbits of insider info. Here's one example: After every world first boss kill, WoW Lead Designer Jeff Kaplan gets an email which details who did what, what equipment they used, and the damage and healing meters for the encounter. Talk about info overload! And since he is the lead designer after all, one glance at the stat sheet and he'll know if cheating was involved.

The podcast also features the regular Legendary Thread crew discussing the 2.0.7 patch, the quest for in-game girlfriends, battleground exploits, and a lot more. You can listen to the podcast by downloading it right here.
