For one week ever, I will randomly hop on either my Facebook page, my Twitter account or my Google+ page and shout the word PANDA. The first person to reply with EXTERMINATOR wins one of my many Mists of Pandaria Beta Keys. I have so many that I may do this contest a number of times each day. Or I may not.
