The Weekly Marmot - WoW as an E-Sport
The Weekly Marmot goes HD! New camera, new microphone, and 150% more awesome.
For the inaugural episode in the new and updated studio, I depart from the standard Weekly Marmot fare just a little bit and spend some time talking about PVP. Specifically, I talk about WoW's future as an E-Sport. What have other games done that makes them successful? What's missing from WoW arenas? And what can we expect in the future?

The Weekly Marmot - Blizzcon 2010 Wrap-up
This week I go over some of my thoughts about Blizzcon. What was cool? What wasn't so cool? What can they do to make it even better in the future?

The Weekly Marmot - Blizzcon 2010
This week is Blizzcon, so this week I talk about Blizzcon. Included is some speculation about what the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT could be, as well as a quick overview of some of the most exciting things going on both inside and outside of Blizzcon this year. With a special guest mummy!

The Weekly Marmot - Patch 4.0 Survival
In this special edition of the Weekly Marmot, I go over all the major changes happening in Patch 4.0.1, and what you'll need to do to make the transition as smooth as possible. What's changing with talents and glyphs? What's this fancy new guild interface? And what the heck is reforging anyway? Guess you'll just have to click and find out!

The Yearly Marmot
It's the one year anniversary of the Weekly Marmot (well, almost)! In an extra-long extended episode, I go over my history of gaming: how I got into gaming, what games I used to play, how I got into MMOs, and how I got involved with the World of Warcraft community. It's not exactly light viewing, so fix yourself some popcorn and settle in for the
nerdiest story ever told.
And don't worry -- we'll be right back to the regular old information-filled Weekly Marmot next week, for the Patch 4.0 Survival Guide!

The Weekly Marmot - Guild Restructuring in Cataclysm
This week I answer a handful of great questions from a guy named Helbereth (aka Hellbreath) about a few of the challenges facing guilds -- both new and old -- in the transition period into 4.0 and Cataclysm. Is forming a new guild for Cataclysm a good idea? What kind of challenges will the "hardcore 10-man guild" face? How does this affect loot rules?
Also, don't forget to tune in for Episode 50 next week!

The Weekly Marmot - Thinking Like a Designer
This week, I step back a little and examine game balance from a designer's perspective. What kind of thought process do they go through when they decide to make balance changes? What
don't
they think about? And how does that differ from the ways in which players usually consider the game? How many times can my dog wander into the reflection on my poster in one episode? How ridiculously awful can a preview frame get?
Let's find out.

The Weekly Marmot - Patch 4.0 Speculation
So this week, thanks to Blizzard's timely release of the Patch 4.0 PTR, I get to talk a bunch about how this whole process is going to work based on our experiences from previous expansions. What's the difference between Patch 4.0 and Cataclysm? What kind of release timeframes can we expect? And what's the deal with "Patch 4.0.3"? These exciting questions and more will be answered (or at least have decent guesses aimed towards them) in this week's Weekly Marmot.

The Weekly Marmot - End of Expansion Raiding Options
This week, I answer a question from
Damingo, the Prairie Dog Lord
(yeaaahhhhh...) and talk a bunch about end of expansion raiding from a raider's perspective. When you really want to raid but guilds keep falling apart around you, what options do you have? Do you just give up, or is there another way?
Live
The Weekly Marmot - End of Expansion Raiding
So this week I take a look back through my experiences with raiding in the weeks and months prior to the release of Wrath of the Lich King and The Burning Crusade to give a little insight into what exactly is happening right now that's causing so much trouble for so many guilds. Why are so many players quitting their guilds? Why are so many quitting the game entirely? And just because I'm never content to just sit around and talk about how bad things can be, I give some tips and ideas for dealing with it and making sure your guild isn't one that falls victim to the dreaded End of Expansion Blues.

The Weekly Marmot - Surviving the Cataclysm (Beta)
So, say a new build has just hit the Cataclysm beta. You're looking through the patch notes and you come across a highly controversial change to your favorite class. You immediately do one of the following:
Rage about it on the forums
Cancel your subscription, then rage about it on the forums
Cancel your subscription, murder your friends, then rage about it on the forums
Watch this week's Weekly Marmot
If you chose option 1 or 2, you should check out this week's Marmot, where I talk about how to properly handle all the weird things that happen during beta. If you chose option 3,

The Weekly Marmot - Cataclysm Healing Q&A
In this episode, I answer a handful of the questions that you beautiful people sent in. Included are: What's happening to the five second rule? What stats are healers going to be interested in? Are there still going to be "raid healers" and "tank healers"? And how did I get so
sexy?
Okay, maybe not the last one.
Because we
already know.

The Weekly Marmot - The Cataclysm Healing Game (Part 1)
This week, in the first of a two-part series, I begin a discussion about the changes to the way health and healing works in Cataclysm. To start, I take a little trip down memory lane to how healing worked in The Burning Crusade, as well as WoW Classic.
Also, LOOK AT THE PUPPY.

The Weekly Marmot - Cataclysm Zone & Quest Design
This week, I get entirely too excited about how incredibly awesome questing is in the expansion. No longer will leveling from 1-60 just be the part of the game you try to breeze through as quickly as possible so you can get into the "more interesting" quests. Don't believe me? Watch this.
Also, my wedding ring fell off in a lake.

The Weekly Marmot - RealID in Review
This week I take some time to go over the new RealID feature added in patch 3.3.5. What's good about it? What's... not so good? And perhaps more importantly, why?

The Weekly Marmot - Cataclysm Press Event
So much to talk about! This week I narrowly squeak by inside Youtube's 11-minute limit to bring you my thoughts and speculations on the massive amount of information Blizzard released at the recent Press Event. I hope you're ready for a lot of talkingreallyfastsoicanbesuretogeteverythingin!

The Weekly Marmot - Keyboard Turning
This week, I peer into the deepest, darkest corners of the World of Warcraft to observe the elusive keyboard turner in his native environment. Why exactly is turning with the keyboard so bad?
From there, I give some tips on how to cure yourself of keyboard turning, and even give some examples of when keyboard turning
might
be okay! Brace yourselves, we're getting into some real basics here...

The Weekly Marmot - Raiding With a Life
Hello, Wowhead! I'm devomorph, also known as
Lore
over at
TankSpot
. I make the Weekly Marmot, a weekly video show in which I give tips and tricks, talk about current issues, and otherwise discuss the World of Warcraft. Thanks to the magic of the internet and our new friends at Wowhead, I'll be bringing it to you here as well!
So, you've got a busy schedule. Work, family, friends, whatever it is, you've just got too much on your hands to possibly have any time to get into raiding. That's just for the guys who can afford to spend 40 hours a week in front of their PC, right?
Well, maybe not. This week I take a look at the actual time commitments necessary to participate in a successful raiding guild, and what you can do to get started and fit it into your busy life. Check it out, you might be surprised!
