Well, what started out as a crazy idea in late 2010 spawned 75 episodes, and now Blessing of Frost's last episode is finally here. Doubling as our second anniversary episode, we take a look back at some hilarious moments in Blessing of Frost history.

Thank you to all our listeners, guests, contributors, those who rated us up on iTunes and those who sent in MOLL-E questions. We never would have made it past ten episodes without you.

Notable episodes we reference:

Episode 42: Awesome Anniversary. This is where the legend of BeruLust began. Beru, Vidyala and Stoneybaby joined us for this one.

Episode 48: Nerfs and Power Outages. Great episode where Majik loses power mid-podcast. And also says that he's an idiot. Gina from healbot.net is our guest.

Episode 49: A Raid Retrospective. Just a short clip from this episode where Jasyla joined us to chat about past raids.

Episode 59: Babbling about Bonuses. Some amazing clips from this episode, including the entire intro, pretty much.

Episode 60: Pricey Purchases. Ice cream and complaining about my brother and Majik. An excellent few clips.

Episode 61: How-To Heroic Dragon Soul. Ladies and gentlemen, behold the tale of the weeeeeeeeezard. (Some weeeeezard clips in the episode were not included in Episode 75, so be sure to check this one out again.)

Episode 63: Diablo the WoW Killer? This is probably one of the best episodes we've produced in the last year. Hilarious.

And here, now, are The NPA Files. They are a series of six videos we made back in, oh, 2007. Careful, the first one has Majik being pretty yelly.

Finally, please do check out Choice at choiceguild.com and Apotheosis at apotheosis-now.com.

Thanks to you all for listening. #stayfrosty!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Episode 74 is our penultimate episode. We'll be ending Blessing of Frost with Episode 75, due out in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, this is your last opportunity to drop us a line at podcast (at) blessingoffrost.com or rate us up on iTunes for a shoutout!

Majik showed me this video that takes the concept of "turducken" to the extreme. Warning, I nearly puked.

Lisa Whelchel played Blair Warner on the 80s sitcom The Facts of Life and is on Season 25 of Survivor.

Here's a great list of all the chat commands you can use in WoW chat channels (the advanced chat channel usage section is really nifty):

Don't forget, this is your last chance to rate us up on iTunes and get a shoutout on the podcast in return. And please do send us your questions or comments to podcast [at] blessingoffrost [dot] com!

Finally, Episode 73 of Blessing of Frost is out! This week, we talk a bit about what to expect in 5.1, especially the Brawler's Guild feature.

The Cinder Kitten is actually really cute and Blizzard will take 100% of the proceeds of the sale and donate them to the American Red Cross to help those in need, such as those who were affected by Hurricane Sandy. You can donate at the Red Cross site without purchasing a Cinder Kitten at redcross.org. Even if you don't live in the US, consider a small donation to your local Red Cross or equivalent!

Ghostcrawler tweeted with Kurn the other day, about Holy Avenger and holy paladins.

The first-ever rare Kurn and Majik camped specifically for a drop was Prince Nazjak and the item was the Tidal Charm.

The Torch of the Damned is a pretty sweet-looking 2H mace that drops of Reliquary of Souls in Black Temple.

And if you're curious about why Kurn's quitting (although if you've listened to the podcast since, like, Firelands, you shouldn't be all that curious), you can read her related blog posts starting here.

Welcome to Episode 72 where Majik and Kurn discuss the release of the Mists of Pandaria expansion and discuss a few things the community seems to really enjoy... and a few things the community seems to really not enjoy. ;)

Hotfixes for October 16

If you're wondering about the whole "have some birds"/"have some bees" thing, go watch Round 2 of the Majik vs. Kurn Magicka death match. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H5P9VVgSEc (warning, language NSFW)

And in case you missed how lame the Theramore Scenario was, witness Maj, Kurn and Mhoe doing it at 85. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QykkU0Ph64 (warning, language NSFW)

As a correction, Apotheosis is now actually 5/6 in normal Mogu'shan Vaults, having defeated Elegon on Sunday, October 21st.

Speaking of which, the WoW dragon Elegon is likely named for Ellegon, who is the primary dragon in the Guardians of the Flame series by Joel Rosenberg. (Spoilers abound!)

Cooking sucks right now, Kurn says. (Also, eff dailies.)

Beru talks about her disappointment with world bosses.

Vidyala talks about Pandarian experiences with Golden Lotuses and Valley of the Four Winds.

As usual, Maj and I turned to El's Professions to quickly level inscription. (And El's Extreme Anglin' is a great site for all sorts of fishing news and info.)

Finally, MMO Melting Pot, as usual, has some great round-up posts you should read:

5.0.4 hit on August 28th and changed the game significantly. In this episode, we chat with Amowrath of the blog Light's Wrath and the guild Undying Resolution (US-Elune).

And this is Majik's terrible healing UI from the first time Apotheosis killed Doomwalker and Kazzak...

And, of course, here's Blizzard's 5.0.4 Survival Guide.

See you on the other side of 5.0.4!

Welcome to a (very belated) Episode 67 of Blessing of Frost! (It's all Kurn's fault the episode is late. It was recorded on Saturday, July 21st. Whoops.)

In this episode, Maj and Kurn talk about old attunements and how a lot of people seem to be talking about attunements in the blogosphere of late.

Here are the massive attunement posts from MMO Melting Pot!

Post 1 Post 2 Post 3 Post 4

And here's Kurn's 4000-word post. (Not for the faint of heart.)

Welcome to Episode 66 of Blessing of Frost! In this episode, Majik and Kurn chat with Fugara, the Co-GM of Choice of Skywall about the recent decision to refocus the guild towards a 10-man raiding team from a 25-man team. We look at some of the reasons and some of the options the officers had available and why and how they chose to refocus on 10s. Essentially, it's a case study on yet another guild that has run into problems this expansion, but these guilds are not the exceptions -- it's very common for 25-mans to experience the problems Choice did.

Stay tuned, Apotheosis of Eldre'Thalas is going to be opening up Mists of Pandaria recruitment soon, but you should visit our website now anyhow. :)
