Around Azeroth: Short people got no reason to live

by Elizabeth Wachowski May 23rd 2013 at 10:00AM

Around Azeroth Short people got no reason to live THURSDAY

"I won a contest from the Tauren Think Tank podcast and scored my own Lil' Ragnaros," writes submitter Marconin of Just Wipe It on Draka (US-A). "I was overjoyed to add this guy to my collection ... until I summoned him. Being a gnome, I'm used to things and people towering over me. I'm not used to my pets dwarfing me! I heard you can use him as a cooking fire, but I doubt I'll ever find out for myself. There's no way I'm getting on my tiptoes with a frying pan. I have standards, you know."

Around Azeroth: Are you experienced?

by Elizabeth Wachowski May 22nd 2013 at 10:00AM

Around Azeroth Stay away from the brown acid
Another entry from the archives of mega-submitter Taedran of Guilty as Charged on Silvermoon (US-A). I'm not entirely sure what has caused the rivers of Uldum to run red with blood, nor why the sky suddenly resembles the favorite poster of college girls everywhere, Van Gogh's The Starry Night. But I'm pretty sure that hallucinogens are somehow involved. Which, unless you are a devotee of certain American Indian religions, is officially Not Cool with the government. Please turn yourself in at the nearest police station.

Around Azeroth: Close encounters of the blurry kind

by Elizabeth Wachowski May 21st 2013 at 10:00AM

Around Azeroth Close encounters of the blurry kind TUESDAY
"As I was leveling herbalism in Westfall, I noticed something unusual," writes submitter Jkal of Alexstrasza (US-A). "A white, glowing blur would zoom across the landscape about five feet up in the air. I couldn't target it and it was fast. It was like nothing I'd seen before in game. It would always head towards Longshore and disappear. I think I got a picture. But I still don't know what it is. Sure looks like a UFO to me. This one was stationary when I found it. It just slowly blinked out as I stood there watching."

Around Azeroth: I hate your stupid face

by Elizabeth Wachowski May 20th 2013 at 10:00AM

Around Azeroth I hate your stupid face MONDAY
Everyone might be focused on unseating Garrosh Hellscream right now, but there are still a few Alliance folks who aren't too happy with Varian Wrynn. But they can't exactly start a revolution, not with the Horde threatening and all those damned Stormwind guards hanging around. So what are they to do? Why, slap a humiliating mask on the king! Ha ha! Look at that big orange frown! Sure, you'll be dragged to the dungeons and executed the next day, but it's totally worth it. (Thanks to Dukii for the screenshot!)

Around Azeroth: The feline reaction to Patch 5.3

by Elizabeth Wachowski May 19th 2013 at 10:00AM

Around Azeroth The feline reaction to Patch 53 SUNDAY
As long-time readers may remember, sometimes on Sundays we like to run pictures from that strange, high-definition world outside Azeroth. This photograph was taken by Ginei of Desert Rats on Blackhand (US-A) and it captures her cat Zoe attempting to drown herself in a World of Warcraft beer glass. Presumably she just heard the news that Patch 5.3 will be released on Tuesday, and thus she will not be receiving any petting for the next month since her owner will be too absorbed in the game. Or maybe there's Bailey's Irish Cream in the glass. Cats go crazy for that stuff.

Around Azeroth: The last island in the world

by Elizabeth Wachowski May 18th 2013 at 10:00AM

Around Azeroth The last island in the world SATURDAY
Submitter Taedran of Guilty as Charged on Silvermoon (US-A) recently sent me ... quite a few screenshots. As in literally several hundred. I think that's considered justification for homicide in Texas. Anyway, several of Taedran's pictures featured zoomed-out high-definition pictures of certain zones in the game. This one features the isolated (and unvisitable, except for newbie goblins) Lost Isles. It seems like a paradise. Why did we ever leave?

Around Azeroth: Death is but the next great adventure

by Elizabeth Wachowski May 17th 2013 at 10:00AM

Around Azeroth Death is but the next great adventure FRIDAY
I am dead, but I live? What sorcery is this? Submitter Aryon of AnyThingButSerious on Ghostlands (EU-A) caught Fleshcrafter Hoku literally contemplating his own mortality on the Isle of Thunder. Respawn timers take a lot of the sting out of the old "what happens to us when we die" question, don't they? Oh, when we die we come back a few minutes later, only to be killed again. It's like the dollar store form of reincarnation.

Around Azeroth: Love and rockets

by Elizabeth Wachowski May 16th 2013 at 10:00AM

Around Azeroth Love and rockets THURSDAY
Submitter Sporkwind of That Takes Effort on Terenas (US-A) was tired of his travel form not being able to keep up with his friends' mounts. So with the help of a local engineer, he retrofitted a rocket to fit his stag form's hooves. Sadly, his plan hit a snag when he tried to fuel up his rocket with grass and herbs, and discovered that a high-tech mount takes more effort to maintain than the organic kind. I can't tell who has the nastiest sneer on their face -- the rocket or the deer.

Around Azeroth: Champagne supernova

by Elizabeth Wachowski May 15th 2013 at 10:00AM

Around Azeroth Champagne supernova WEDNESDAY
Deepholm is the rare zone where you can't hit an invisible ceiling on your flying mount and fall to your death. But somehow Nölan of Caelum on Sylvanas (EU-A) has managed to hit ... something. An invisible force field? The "sky" from The Truman Show? A translucent plate? Whatever it is, it's stripped all the flesh from his bones, and it's a long way for a skeleton to fall.

Around Azeroth: I'm a little teapot

by Elizabeth Wachowski May 14th 2013 at 10:00AM

Around Azeroth I'm a little teapot TUESDAY
No, really, I have the soul of a teapot. Some sort of reincarnation accident, I suppose. That's why I've decided to live here, soaked in tea, amongst the dumplings and eggrolls of Pandaria. What do you mean, that's utterly ridiculous? Don't tell me what I can identify as! Now go away and leave me alone. I've got to figure out a way to get these tea leaves out of my cleavage. (Thanks to submitter Senya of Temerity on Windrunner [US-A] for this screenshot!)

Around Azeroth Head of the class MONDAY
Look, Officer, I really don't see what the big deal is. Noise complaint, you say? Well, I inherited this place from my undead grandmother, and for my first crop, I planted the seeds that were in the storage shed. The package said turnips on it. How was I supposed to know it would come up humans? It should have had picture of humans on it. Now grab a shovel and help me pound them down. We'll soon stop those noise complaints. (Thanks to submitter Nounours of GrandGalacticInquisitor on Llane [US-A] for the screenshot!)

Around Azeroth: The fall of the Jade Forest

by Elizabeth Wachowski May 12th 2013 at 10:00AM

Around Azeroth The fall of the Jade Forest SUNDAY
"This long, long war between Horde and Alliance: what has it gotten?" queried submitter Siobhraich of The Brotherhood of Iron on Wyrmrest Accord (US-A). "A formerly peaceful culture now at war within itself! Family against family! The destruction of centuries of heritage, culture, and pride -- evident in one cruel blow that shattered the mighty Jade Serpent and released the curse of the Sha. I saw it from afar, and could only stand in horror, watching as this land's protector shattered and the ancient demons of hate and anger raged forth ..."

Around Azeroth: Hanging by a limb

by Elizabeth Wachowski May 11th 2013 at 10:00AM

Around Azeroth Hanging by a limb SATURDAY
"Many tales have been told about the incredible feats performed by the monks of Azeroth," writes submitter Panddha of Sinners on Darkspear (EU-H). "This particular monk took the vow of toes. Meditating for days and nights, balanced on the tip of his pandaren nails, his only reward being shown on WoW Insider." Well, how can I resist that sort of guilt trip?

Around Azeroth: Welcome 2 Pandaria

by Elizabeth Wachowski May 10th 2013 at 10:00AM

Around Azeroth Welcome 2 Pandaria FRIDAY
Submitter Wauzledop of Ancient Order of UMs on Doomhammer (US-A) has only recently set foot in Pandaria, but he's already amassed himself a little cult following. Little being the operative word here. Sure, Wauzledop might be strutting around the Jade Forest throwing up gang signs, but it's very difficult to establish a hegemonic criminal enterprise when your minions are constantly getting patted on the head and called adorable snuggly-bumpkins.

Around Azeroth: Calling in sick

by Elizabeth Wachowski May 9th 2013 at 10:00AM

Around Azeroth Calling in sick THURSDAY
Nope nope nope. Not going out today. Sure, I've got dailies to complete, reps to grind, and dungeons to complete. But there's no way I'm going out in this rain. My feathers are going to get all wet and smelly and the other night elves will make fun of me. Plus, the mantid swarm in this particular hive is binge-watching Arrested Development, and there's just no way I can miss that with the new season coming up. Think I'll just order in some dinner from the Remote Auction House and do my questing tomorrow. (Thanks to Funkychickin of Carpe Jugulum on Saurfang [US-A] for the screenshot!)
