Oh, what a week. With the rollout of Player Housing, World of Warcraft has had the biggest update it's had since launch.

Before the "Blizzard of '93," there was the "Storm of the Century." Western Pennsylvania was buried by more than 2 feet of snow in late November 1950.

Blizzard has always had a strong presence at Gamescom, the big German games expo that takes place in August — and this year it will be there in force with a major World of Warcraft expansion reveal.
