New Expansion - Draw your predictions!Rise of the Legion Lost in Translation
Update This was originally a thread to draw up some stuff you think we might
see
in the next expansion, but a Chinese gold farming site saw the images and the
context was lost in translation. They thought it was concept art leaks (which

Say hello to Replica. Blogging platforms have been so busy trying to copy each
other, there really haven’t been any other platforms that really fit what I
needed. It borrows features from other platforms, and leaves out the ones I
don’t need. At it’s heart, is a simple dashboard for creating and editing posts,

Nintendo’s in trouble right now. Nintendo, I think, waited two years too long to
