Blizzard’s community team is working like crazy before the holidays — just a few days after the dessert contest kicked off, they’ve now announced a screenshot contest, this one centering on “The Rise and Fall of the Lich King.” Basically, they want you to take a screenshot of your character somehow fighting the Scourge, and in return, they’re giving away 11 steins. Ten lucky winners will pick up Rise of the Lich King steins from Taverncraft, and one lucky grand prize winner will win the #1 of 750 out of the limited quantity of signed Legendary Collection Rise of the Lich King steins released. That’s actually pretty awesome — I haven’t been enticed to buy a stein yet, but I will definitely submit a screenshot to win one.
And we can even help you win — check out our recent post on how to screenshot for tips and tricks on how to do it exactly right. Keep your photographer’s eye open as you play against the Scourge this month (the contest ends on midnight January 1st, 2010), and one of your captures might pick up some real-life loot.

We can’t believe it either – Turpster has been let loose on WoW.com to bring you videos from in and around the World of Warcraft! You’ve heard him on the WoW Insider Show, and now see him on TurpsterVision right here on WoW.com.
It’s been far too long. I’ve been playing loads of games in-between knuckling down with some university work, I’ve constructed a website for a Bristol based landscape gardener, and I’ve been on a couple of different podcasts. Yet with all this I’ve missed out on gracing the net with WoW.com’s number 1 Video Podcast! In the immortal words of Tychus J. Findlay, ‘Hell, it’s about time!‘
But I wouldn’t just return to your screens empty handed, oh no, I come bearing gifts! A mighty tankard overflowing with ale — at least it could be if you are lucky enough to win it and fill it with some booze or other beverage of your choosing.
The stein itself is a beautiful piece of art and construction. To really enjoy the details, check out the gallery below the break.
It’s good to be back.

Our friends at Blizzplanet have posted the official Pocket Books signing schedule for BlizzCon — both Richard Knaak and Christie Golden will be live in attendance and signing throughout the weekend, and you can find the full schedule after the break. Both Knaak and Golden have written popular Warcraft novels, so bring your copies and you might walk away with them signed.
As far as I know, this is the first sign of a schedule we’ve seen for the convention. Blizzard usually does announce a schedule of panels and events a few days ahead of time (and of course, when you get your packet there at the door, there’s a program with the full schedule inside), but they usually cut it pretty close. As of this writing, eight days until showtime, there is no official schedule yet posted on the site.
But this will give you at least one thing to plan on seeing (and we can tell you for sure that Friday morning will be the official keynote, with Saturday evening being the Ozzy show, if the way they’ve done it in the past is any indication). And as long as you’re making a schedule up, don’t forget to stop by our meetup on Thursday night — not only will we have WoW.com staffers live in attendance, but there will be door prizes galore. More info on that soon.
Schedule after the jump.
