Undead Rocker on a T-Rex on a Laser on a Shark

The title says it all. Or it should.

Wife and I hit 85 (I keep saying / typing 80 instead of 85...habit) Sunday night at around 11. The last level was by far the longest, at over 9 million experience required. (Compared to around 5 million to get to 84)

During our questing binge, we were given the task of disarming some bombs that happened to be surrounded by crazed gnomes.

There were tons of the little buggers.

So, the quest also gave us a holographic projector with which we could distract said gnomes.

And what did the device project onto the scenery? An Undead Rocker on a T-Rex on a Laser on a Shark.

It was one of the funniest things I've seen in WoW, and I'm going to go back and do those quest lines with other characters just to see that again.

Leveling from 80 to 85 could really be done in two solid days of playing. Or one 24 hour session, if you were really that motivated (read: insane/lonely).

So far, Cataclysm has had the most entertaining quests of the three expansions. To me, it has a more epic feel. It seemed like WotLK relied heavily on established lore from WC3, and so they didn't really make it feel as in depth as they could have. Not that they didn't do a good job, it's just that it felt like it was spread thin.

Being able to fly in old world is great. And since my wife has the touring rocket, I generally get to sit back and enjoy the ride. Except when I see an herb I need. Then I practically kill myself trying to get off the mount and to the ground.

Oddly enough, it only gives me a parachute if SHE cancels the rocket. And it will do so even if we're standing on the ground. (annoying)

As cool as flying is, I keep forgetting that we can do it. There have been several times where I sat for a minute while trying to figure out how to get up to the Quest Guy Over There. Then /facepalmed and mounted up.

So far, we've seen Hyjal, Deepholm, and Uldum. We started in on the Twilight Highlands before hitting 85. All of the zones have been well done.

Hopefully the underwater areas aren't nearly as annoying as underwater levels in any other game. (mario, sonic, *insert platformer here*)
