Burning Crusade - Review & Dance Preview

World of Warcraft Vault had some neat Burning Crusade finds: A Preview of the game from gamedaily.com A video of what the /dance will be for the blood elves (the video is apparently from BlizzCon last year)

No Love for the Pallys

A new video find that really made me lol. Stick with it to the end.

It's also particularly funny if:

• You're familiar with the names Caydiem & Eyonix
• You play a paladin

Horde is Beautiful

I have a number of players on the Alliance side but lately I've been pretty pro-horde while I play in the Barrens. Come on, who doesn't want to run with the Gazelles?

Tip: Blink

If you check out this comic from GUComics and watch for a bit, it will scroll through some funny "tips."

There's also discussion on it with some "real" WoW tips here. Some of them are actually fairly useful:

Tip: If you throw away your Hearthstone, talk to any innkeeper. They will give you a replacement.

Some are good common sense:

TIP: don't pet the Voidwalker.

And some are soap-box opportunists (although with valuable thoughts I have to say)

Tip: If you are ever caught saying the words 'Chuck Norris', you will be banned. There are no exceptions.

p.s. While I was there I found their Store with some funny t-shirts, mousepads, etc..

WoW in Comic Form

I just ordered Penny Arcade's Attack of the Bacon Robots and realized there are a bunch of fun comics that occassionally touch upon World of Warcraft that it might be fun to share.

Gaming Comics that occassionally feature World of Warcraft (other games are featured too):

http://www.pvponline.com/
http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic
http://www.foxtrot.com/
http://www.actiontrip.com/index/comics.phtml (added)

Although technically in Foxtrot they feature "World of Warquest" but still, it counts. In fact, check out Allakhazam's interview with Bill Amend, Foxtrot's artist here.

Here's a sample from FoxTrot:

Oh the Humanity!

Going out in style - See the Video of a Level 60 who deletes all his best stuff.

Switcher!

These two "Switcher" videos are very well done so I wanted to introduce them to you.

"Atkins" was featured in the Xfire contest. It won 2nd place in the Comedy category.

"Frostshock", the other Switcher video, actually influenced me to create a Shaman about 2 weeks ago. (My secret hope, as it is everyday I play World of Warcraft, is to mimic my Assassin in Diablo III. The totems reminded me of her traps. Ahhh, killing the end boss without ever actually touching him....traaaaps...)

Anyway, back on track: I hope you enjoy the videos!
