I'm going to second that. Wrath is very nicely done. The graphics are visually arresting. The quests aren't just kill six snow moose, it's go kill 10 crazed dwarfs and crack open their skulls to see if their brains are rotten... and I'm all for the skull cracking.

Blizz learned a lot from the BC expansion and definitely made this one better. I am a fan of WoW and have been playing for three years now. I often take breaks from it to play steam games, but no other MMO has offered anything remotely like it in terms of ease of use, that is, it doesn't act like it hates the player. But this is an AoC article so I'll stop being a slavering fan-boy now.

The stone blocks are "Richter's Anchor Stone Building Sets". I liked your photos of them and did a little googling to find them.

http://www.ankerstein.org/ has a lot of info about them and some pictures. I also found them at some other toy retailers (google is my friend).

Makes me wish I had some when I was a kid or that I had kids to give them too now.
