One of the most popular puzzle games ever has just performed a mind-meld with the most popular MMORPG of all time. As crazy as it might seem, PopCap Games and Blizzard knocked boots and produced a World of Warcraft-themed 10-level version of Peggle for the PC.

The best part? It’s completely free to play.
This all-new WoW-themed Peggle mash-up is a stand-alone version of Peggle, available for free and combining the sights, sounds and storyline of World of Warcraft with the rainbows and unicorns of everyone’s favorite peg-popping pastime.

It features ten new levels with Peggle masters Bjorn the Unicorn and Splork with his Space Blast facing off against denizens of Azeroth in scenes with names like “Too Soon, Executus” and “The Traitor King” – as well as ten new challenges with titles such as “Phat Lewtz” and “Pwnyxia.”
Before the release of this new Peggle, the puzzler was introduced to World of Warcraft players back in April of this year, with an in-game version of Peggle for the hugely popular MMORPG.From pc.gamespy.com.

TGIF folks — that means it’s time for another installment of Ask WoW Insider. Last week we looked at the etiquette surrounding leaving an instance early as well as a bit of a trip down memory lane to highlight the best of Ask WoW Insider to date. This week we’ll be speculating about a lore issue: who is the most badass character of all in Warcraft history? Killah writes:
Because of the recent activity regarding the new expansion set Wrath of the Lich King, it has come to my interest to find out about more about the lore in Warcraft. I was reading about the Lich King, his rise and fall, on WoWwiki. It suddenly appeared to me that the Lich King indeed possessed great powers, but yet there must’ve been someone stronger than him. My question to you guys is: What character is the strongest (physically, magically, powerful, fearful) in Warcraft history? This character might be deceased now, but still might the strong throughout history.
Who’s your pick for the most badass Warcraft figure of all time (excepting Leeroy for simplicity’s sake)? Is it Illidan, or Neltharion, or that nasty murloc that pwned your ass in the Wetlands last week? Who’s your top of the tops?

miladyhikara is working on a series of sketches featuring “Bad Girls of Warcraft,” and the beginnings of the pieces are now up over on her deviantART page. They look fantastic — I especially think this Shivarra looks good, but she’s also got a female Naga, a Succubus, and Lady Barov herself. She says she’s working on color palettes for most of them, so we’ll have to wait to see the finished product — if the sketches are any indication, they should look amazing.

She’s also still asking for suggestions apparently — who else would go in the “Bad Girls of Warcraft” series? Sylvanas? (is she really bad?) Onyxia for sure (in both forms). And she’s also thinking about doing a “Good Girls of Warcraft” series, too — hello Jaina, Tyrande and Fandral Staghelm. Wait, he’s not a girl? Then why’s he wearing that dress?From wow.com.
