World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Caps

JeuxVideo added a bunch of new screencaps from the upcoming WoW expansion pack, The Burning Crusade, which, if you didn’t know, I’m very much looking forward to. It’s about time I went Horde, and the Blood Elves are so purdy. The truth is, I have a thing for pointy ears. I really do. Not that […]
