    Did you ever want to see what Azeroth would look like if you could push all of those toolbars to some other screen? Amanda Rivera over at our sister site, WoW Insider, did. She's recently conquered getting your computer to display World of Warcraft on one screen and your toolbars on the other, giving you a clear picture of the beauty of Azeroth without all of those clumsy bars.The only downside to this technique is that the game can really only be rendered on one monitor and not across two full monitors. Rendering across two monitors causes your character, who would be standing in the middle of the two monitors, to be annoyingly split across both of them. Now, if you only had the expensive gaming rig to support those three monitors.

    Episode 11 of the WoW Insider Show is now live for your listening pleasure-- Amanda Rivera, Duncor of WoW Radio and I all sat down last Saturday and talked about all things from the last week of WoW Insider, including, but not limited to: All the Shaman protesting that went down (and what we thought of it-- Amanda and Duncor let me rant) The release timing of 2.3 and what's next in terms of content releases Is there or isn't there a first aid quest still in the game? Amanda has strong feelings about Hypothermia and its duration And how much would you pay for a loot card? Plus, we go through more reader mail that I've ever heard on the show (the email address is theshow@wow.com if you'd like to send some of your own), and we berate an absent Turpster for not hitting 60 before 2.3 dropped-- now, he can't brag that he did it before it got easy. And for those of you who have been concerned about the background music, this week we turned it down so low you can barely hear it (I asked Duncor to flip it off, but it sounds like he decided it should still be in there to fill in the blanks). So give it a listen (either over on WoW Radio's site, or in iTunes-- it's not in there yet but it should be soon), and tell us what you think.And as usual, we'll be back on the air again this Saturday. Enjoy the show!
