The Wrath unboxing and installation experience

Your copy hasn’t shown up yet? We’ve got two ways for you to pretend you’ve actually gotten the game, even if you’re stuck at work or Amazon hasn’t delivered on their shipping. First, up above you can see our Ustream show from last night, featuring a very tired me installing and stepping into Northrend for the very first time. Yes, it’s silly, and yes, it’s a little wacky without seeing the chat (though I tried to say everything I was asked while we did it), but if you want to see what it’s like to set up and run the game, there you go. The second part of the video is after the break — sorry I didn’t stay up to play longer, but you can at least get a good look at the starting Alliance towns in Northrend, and if you stay all the way to the end, I do find the object everyone will be racing for eventually.

And our good friends at Massively have documented the event in their own way — they got their hands on a Collector’s Edition, and they’ve got an unboxing gallery up that you can flip through below. Sure, sure, laugh if you want, but not everyone out there has the expansion yet, and it’s our pleasure to try to bring you the experience as vicariously as possible. Enjoy.
