    So you've bought your World of Warcraft expansion and you boosted a character to the level cap. That's good. You also have no idea how to play that class at level 90, which is bad. A new series of videos from Blizzard is designed to address that problem, however, offering a quick two-minute guide to how to play each of the classes at level 90 as a selected DPS spec and walking you through the basic play patterns. Yes, all of these guides are for DPS; you'll find no detailed tanking walkthroughs here. And each guide just picks a particular spec, so if you were hoping for insight into playing an Enhancement Shaman, you're out of luck. But if you've boosted a character and totally can't figure out what you're supposed to be doing now, it's a good crash course on playing well enough to fake it in LFR.

    What's the difference between a hollowed out cylinder and a tube?How do you make a disk with a 20 meter diameter without using megaprims?What really causes lag and what can you do about it?Well I'm not going to tell you, so wallow in ignorance! Oh, I'm just kidding. But if you're a budding content creator who would like to take their Second Life building skills to the next level, you may consider joining me (Aimee Weber) along with Kimberly Rufer-Bach (Kim Anubis) and Richard Platel (Wednesday Grimm) this Friday November 9th at 7pm SLT on Purple Stripe Island for the release party for our new book Creating Your World: The Official Guide to Advanced Content Creation for Second Life (978-0-470-17114-1). Cake will be served.During the event authors will answer questions and give brief demonstrations on some of the material covered in the book such as simple texture baking and how to script an information kiosk. The lessons are free but we will likely try to hypnotize you into buying the book. Hope to see you all there!P.S. The cake is a lie.
