| - Blue Plz! is a weekly internet radio show that broadcasts live and archived in podcast format. The show originated on WoW Radio and has been consistently updated, shows cancelled only when computer systems, broadcasting equipment, the internet, and the U.S. Government conspire against him. The show, while reviewing aspects of the World of Warcraft and changes being made to it, is known for its inability to settle for less than the best that Blizzard can offer. Every mistake, bug, and silly decision is brought up and torn to shreds, with constructive criticism and ideas for fixing the problems also presented when possible. This is the dividing line that makes Blue Plz! neither sycophantic Blizzard fanboy nor misinformed blind hatred. The show relies partly on the participation of the community built around it. This community began building itself in 2005 when the show began on WoW Radio. Dissenting opinions and constructive criticism are welcomed, while sheer stupidity and fanboy sycophancy are not. TotalBiscuit, known as WoW Radio's resident 'shock jock' and self-proclaimed Cynical Brit, moved over to his new website when WoW Radio closed its doors during a veritable drought of Warcraft content. The Cynical Brit site gained additional coverage during the beta for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm after TotalBiscuit started posting a series of YouTube videos (which were then featured on MMO Champion) that catalogued many of the zone changes and gave insight into the new starting areas for the Goblin, Troll, Worgen and more recently Gnome races.
