Last week, Blizzard Entertainment trademarked the name Mists of Pandaria. Speculation has begun about World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria being the next expansion for the nearly seven year old franchise. Lately, player base has been diminishing. It is plausible that Blizzard developers have decided to bring in the Pandaren, a mythical race of beer drinking Kung Fu Pandas, to lure some of the prodigal players back. Everything is purely rumor and speculation now. Don your tinfoil hat and read this excellent post from Anne Stickney at Wow Insider. In this Know Your Lore column, she breaks down the possibility of the Mists of Pandaria actually being the next ex-pac. My personal opinion is that Pandaren should not be a playable race. They're neutral and could kick anyone's butt, why join a faction?! If anything, open Pandaria up for exploration. The Cataclysm rocked the entirety of Azeroth, not just the side of the globe we see when we hit M.

Freddy Krueger DLC available today
Okay, this one is kind of left field for me. How in the hell did Freddy end up in Mortal Kombat? Regardless, he is available for download today on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 for Mortal Kombat. Freddy will set you back 400 Microsoft points or $4.99 on the Playstation Network. You can check out some of the gameplay in this trailer which was released at Comic-Con.
If you're not currently playing World of Warcraft, check your a Battle.net accounts to claim 7 days of gameplay. This is given mostly when your account has been idle for several weeks. I'm going to be checking out the Elemental Bonds quest chain involving Thrall and the Firelands.
