WoW Moviewatch: FI5VE – Deleted Opening

X-Cross has been building a new machinima series, titled FI5VE. As an author works on this kind of thing, there are myriads of outtakes. These aren’t always mistakes. Some of the scenes they build, film, make all pretty, and then simply decide that the final product doesn’t work our for them. This deleted opening is [...]

Patch 3.1.1a download mirror

What’s that you say? Download to slow? Your internet hates torrent traffic? Well don’t fear!
I’m Al Harington, president and CEO of Al Harington’s wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tubeman emporium and warehouse. Thanks to a shipping error, I am now currently overstocked on wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tubeman wow goldpatch 3.1.1a downloads and I’m passing the [...]

Exporting guild calendars from the Armory

Reader Bob sent us a neat little tool a while back that will help you get your guild’s calendar off of The Armory and on to another calendar program, like Google Calendar or iCal. This little script he built (which unfortunately will probably get beat up as soon as this post goes live, so give [...]

Around Azeroth: Ex machina

Tankadin Teraunus of <Celestial Vanguard> on Elune sent in this screenshot of the Spark of Imagination area in Ulduar, complete with resident boss Mimiron’s Leviathan MKII vehicle front and center. Shouldn’t a mechanognome vehicle boss be riding a giant, flame-breathing mechanostrider at some point, instead of those relatively bland giant-gnome-part models? I’m pretty sure I [...]

The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Dual Spec Salvation

Another week, another series of raids into Ulduar.
I’m not going to talk about it this week… I’m waiting for more T8 level gear (just got my pants last night) but in general, I’m moving from ‘mild discontent’ to ‘frothing nerd rage’ at the state of fury right now. The main reason isn’t even my own [...]

WoW Moviewatch: A.D.I.D.A.W.

Some days, it’s a little slow in the world of WoW machinima. Other days, I log in to my email and find out we’re starting the week with a Baron Soosdon machinima. Which is, frankly, awesome. The good Baron got a tip about this song from his YouTube activity. He was drawn, motivated, and compelled [...]

WoW zones in real life

Aurdon over at I Sheep Things spotted this great collection of comparisons between real-life environs and the in-game places that they inspired. Not all of the comparisons are pitch-perfect, obviously (there are no Nagrand-esque floating islands in the real world, and the Crystalsong Forest picture shows trees covered in ice rather than the mystical wood [...]

Sunday Morning Funnies: Innovative posterior

I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend! I have a nice list to help you kick-start your day. Unfortunately, it seems that Cru the Dwarf will not be updating this week, due to technical difficulties. The featured photo is not of his computer, but it seems he will need a new one before the [...]
