Link time

Aside from my regular reading of all the WoW blogs out there, I do some reading of other stuff WoW related as well. As I'm sure many of these reference sites will not be news to many of you, I am still going to link it for the benefit of anybody new to the game that wants to do some research.

Thottbot - It may not be the best WoW database site anymore, but it has been around since the beginning and I still find it useful enough that I haven't found the need to switch to Wowhead or Allakhazam, although those are both good sites too. Any of these sites are a searchable database of pretty much anything in WoW, from gear to quests to NPCs and where you can find them. No WoW player should go without it.

Wowwiki - I'm sure you've heard of Wikipedia, and this is the WoW version of it. Pretty much anything you'd want to know about the WoW universe, although not quite as detailed as the database sites, but still very useful.

Jame's Leveling Guides - There is one for both Horde and Alliance, and both are free online guides. Why would you buy one of those other guides when there are free ones available? If you want to level up fast and efficiently, check these out. They will streamline your leveling by telling you what quests to do, in what order, and how to do them to get the most experience in the least amount of time.

Curse.com - I use this site mainly for addons, one in particular being QuestHelper. Another good site for addons is Cosmos. Actually I use the Cosmos addons mainly, with QuestHelper being the only one I got from Curse, but many others have a difference of opinion about them. Either way, if you're looking for an addon, check out these sites and there is a very good chance you'll find exactly what you're looking for.

Web Comics:

Looking for Group - ...or LFG as we say in the game. This is the famous web comic with the warlock Richard. It doesn't exactly follow the lore or Warcraft, but it's amusing anyway and should keep you busy for a while.

Cru the Dwarf - One of my favorite comics, although not really for the kids, it has some adult themed material that will have you trying to stifle your laugh so your coworkers won't realize you're reading a web comic instead of working.

The Scout Report - I'm a little sad about this one. The author moved to a place with no internet connection and stopped, but you can still see his past work so check it out, maybe he'll move again and give us more.

Road to Blizzcon - Great comic of Doodlebug and Eustashius as they make their way to Blizzcon. Will they make it in time? It's hard to know, but the NPCs don't seem to be much help so far, besides the fact that every time they see Anaheim on a road sign they go the other direction towards whatever catches their attention at the moment.

Red vs. Blue - Started out as a machinima for Halo, which was great, but I have since stopped watching it. They got me coming back when they started doing a comic, which mainly revolves around the guys that work there and their antics, but also pokes fun at games every so often. It's a fun read, and has some WoW stuff in there every so often.

CTRL+Alt+Delete - It's been around for a while, and is a continuing story of two gamer roommates and their daily lives. This makes fun of games, gamers, and also has some WoW related stuff. He also recently started doing shorter comics, which he calls "Sillies" that don't follow the story but are more for some quick laughs, like what you read in the paper.

The Perry Bible Fellowship - Alright, this one isn't WoW related at all, but it's hilarious. I can't explain why, he's just so off the wall and clever. The humor is very subtle, so it's not for everyone, but if you like the Far Side or similar comics you really need to check this out.

Maybe this will give you an idea of what I do at work when I'm not actually working or writing blog posts.
