After a few years of lapsed subscription, Midnight's launch has lured me back into World of Warcraft. But as someone who works from home, the thing I want most at the end of the day is an escape from my desk, keyboard, and mouse—an impulse that can cut down on my prime dwarf shaman hours.
Thanks to a combination of Blizzard's gradual implementation of controller support, the tireless volunteer effort of gamepad-centric addon creators, and the wonder of low-latency game streaming, I've been enjoying what would've seemed impossible to me when I was playing Vanilla WoW as a preteen: I've been playing World of Warcraft with a controller from the comfort of my couch. And it works really well.
