WoW Moviewatch: Who’s Watching Me in World of Warcraft

Who’s Watching Me in World of Warcraft is a short but absolutely wonderful video by Keenamor. It’s a parody of a very popular commercial floating around out there, so it probably needs no explanation to get set up. Keenamor was inspired by a similar video based in the Halo universe. He did all the voice [...]

BlizzCon: Arena Junkies ticket giveaway, Tokyopop booth preview

Along with most of the Blizzard fansites, Arena Junkies is also conducting a BlizzCon ticket giveaway, and they want you to design your own Arena. Basically, you come up with an idea, supplement it with whatever drawings or pictures you’d like, and then submit it in their forum thread by June 5th. After that, they’ll [...]

WoW Moviewatch: Why can’t I raid?

You may remember Taintedlore from her remake of The Womanizer Song. She’s hooked up with movie maker Leonnardum to create a new parody video, called Why can’t I raid? If you don’t recognize the music, it’s based of Rihanna’s song, Unfaithful.
The video’s pretty solid, and does a nice job of complimenting the lyrics. I like [...]

Around Azeroth: I got a tiki god

So, it turns out that a Sen’jin Fetish is not only a perverse attraction to large troll tusks, but also a non-combat pet obtainable through the Argent Tournament. Our submitter Sean happens to have recently bought the latter. With a little help from an acquaintance, a Pet Biscuit and some Pygmy Oils, he’s managed to [...]

An official server for South Africa

Here’s an interesting post from what looks like a site in Zaire wondering if Blizzard will ever bring World of Warcraft to South Africa. It’s true — we all take it for granted that here in North America and Europe, the game is available, but in many parts of the world, it’s not. And apparently [...]

Completion rates on Wrath heroics

Yeah, we all know that Oculus kinda sucks, but now we’ve got some numbers on it — or, more accurately, Flyv does. One of my feral Druid colleagues has been examining Armory data on completion rates of Wrath heroics (and incidentally took a peek at how long it takes for the average person to go [...]

Knitted mitts for the Alliance

We are so glad we get to use bigger pictures now, especially when they show off something this cool. Mirthical made these Alliance-branded fingerless mitts (actually, we’re not sure that lion is an official Alliance logo, but he’s cute enough) for a friend of hers who was such a big Warcraft fan that she put [...]

Murkimus mailed out today

Those who participated in this year’s official arena tournament have been not-so-patiently awaiting their reward for playing 200 arena matches in the preliminary rounds on the tournament realm. It’s been quite awhile since players expected to get their hands on Murkimus, but Blizzard representatives have been giving a mid-May estimate that proved true today.
Players who [...]

Around Azeroth: Driving in the carpool lane

It’s tough all over these days. Even Azeroth is suffering from an economic downturn. Curse those gold farmers for selling epic mounts at sub-prime rates! Anyway, Healornodeal of <Kill or be killed> on Vashj-EU has been forced to carpool with a Forsaken pal to save on horse refueling costs. Even though the undead and the [...]

Argent Hippogryph cost lowered

It’s been rumored already, but now we’ve got Blizzard confirmation: the cost of the Argent Hippogryph (obtained as a final reward from the Argent Tournament) will be lowered in “the next minor patch” to 150 Champion’s Seals. We don’t know exactly when (“next minor patch” could be 3.1.2, or possibly a quick hotfix before then), [...]
