We've seen some pretty horrible things in this feature. Hanging
corpses, torture
chambers, abomination
sewing kits, and of course the legendary
faceless gnome have all graced our pages. But this may be the most hideous screenshot I've seen yet. Who in their right minds would hang that painting (which graces the wall of a Steamwheedle Port home) in their domicile? It looks like the eyes would follow you around the room, through the hallway, into the bedroom and then stab you in the face while you slept. Is that some kind of hideous Alliance hero? Also, why is the room wallpapered with the wrapper from a pineapple
Dum-Dum? (Thanks to Jarmo for the screenshot!)
Do you have any unusual
World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see it on
Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing
aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards.

I think there's a similar painting in Scarlet Monastery. You could almost assume that this one is a forgery - being hung at a Steamwheedle town. (No offense to any of you who may reside there.)

Yikes! That's one of the scarier things I've seen in this game, which is ironic when you think about it...

That's Uncle Jeff. We don't talk about him. Aunt Milly has terrible taste. We also don't talk about that. Only forcing you to visit once a year during the holidays. I don't care if you don't like her kissing your cheeks. Don't complain: she babysat me every day after school. We definitely are not talking about the bathtub. Dear lord, not the bathtub.

wow, nice screenshot, I thought it was a real painting for a few seconds. xD

Ahhhhh. That is freaky. I bet the eyes follow you as you move.
Naix Oct 10th 2008 10:59AM
It's sad that I know exactly where that painting is.

Kind of looks like jesus.

If Jesus had eyes that stuck an inch out of his head. Cutting through your soul.

There's another one in a Goblin's hut in Area 52.
It's the Azerothian version of a Velvet Elvis.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that (or something very similar) in a not-too-easy-to-reach place in Karazhan.

Sorry, I LOL'd hard at this. Very good. I haven't seen one of those in a loooong time.

The pineapple wallpaper is a throw-back to old time hotels. A pineapple is an international symbol for hospitality so of course all the hotels plastered the things everywhere you looked. (What this has to do with goblin buildings is beyond me, maybe it's because they cater to both alliance and horde.)

Well, considering the goblin obsession with money and profit, maybe it's just a simple case of an investment gone wrong: bought tons of wall-paper, other races wouldn't buy it, got stuck with it, so everyone and their brother has to use it.

I was definitely more freaked out by the wallpaper. Probably because I've been remodeling my house for the past 4 months.
Frank Oct 10th 2008 1:33PM
i think the walls in gadgetzan are wallpapered the same way. why they have a thing for pineapples, i don't know.
