BRK's top ten weird things my WoW client is doing after 3.0.8.9506 installed

9. The Frogger gauntlet in Naxx has been moved to west-door of Ogrimmar. Alliance raids going for Thrall shall be forced to go through the front door.
8. The daily quest to steal 12 puppies for the walruses has been modified. We now have to hand out 12 packages of contraception to the Wolvar.
7. The hunter Beastmastery tree has a new talent, "Shutdah3llup", which adjusts all damage-meter addons so that the BM hunter's numbers are always 150DPS higher than anybody else's.
6. Warlocks get a new spell, "Invite2RaidPlz" which allows any warlock to transform into an Arcane-spec'd mage for five minutes
5. The success of Worg Tartar has apparently forced the creation of several sushi and sashimi recipes, using raw fish to make uber-tasty raid foods. /yum!
4. Winning a Wintergrasp battle apparently crashes the NY Stock Exchange, the FAA radar network, the SONUS nets in the northern Atlantic, the GPS satellite cluster, AT&T's 3G wireless capabilities, and makes all Texas Instrument calculators use reverse Polish notation. Hidden in the patch notes is a snippet of text that says, "this will never work, but WTH."
3. Deadmines is recreated as a 25-man raid instance, skill level above Naxxramas. Edward VanCleef is a level 83 raid boss who has 15 million health and a two minute enrage-timer. Bizarrely, none of the other NPCs in the instance have been upgraded.
2. The goblins have open a "House of Ill-Repute" in Dalaran, upstairs in the leatherworking shop. The LW-shopkeepers sell a variety of new "clothing" and "toys". More will be reported once Mrs. BRK quits staring over our shoulder.
1. It's official: Howling Fajord. All addon developers are scrambling to update their maps and quest-trackers, WoWWiki has already been updated with the correct pronunciation.

I SO wish for a VC-based raid instance. Man, those rogue adds would HURT. And those Defias Mages.... would need FR gear!
*Defias Mage [Fireball] hit you for 19234*
LOL.

I just put a down payment on a Four Door Ford Fajord.

Classic!
Thanks for injecting humor to remind us that this is still just a game, and if things don't work just exactly as they should, no one will die as a result. :)
Thanks.

Leon Jan 27th 2009 3:08PM
Hehe, that was very funny
Alar Jan 27th 2009 3:08PM
Leave it to the goblins to introduce something like that into a "PG-13" game.
VSUReaper Jan 27th 2009 3:08PM
LMAO!!!!
Marc Sadowski Jan 27th 2009 3:09PM
Polish notations FTW!!!
Gongonzabar Farbin Jan 27th 2009 4:35PM
RPN FTW!

Classic.

My mind harkens to the Flintlocke episode where the priest goes to gadgetzan for a hooker...
"Wait, I can get two?!? Gimme a goblin too..."
My Leatherworking shaman can't wait for the recipie ["Toy" Collar]

Isn't his name Edwin VanCleef?
I wish my lock can transformed into a mage permanently.
I do have a mage character already, but now I preferred to have 2 mages than 1 mage and 1 lock.

I must be wired diffrently. I LOVE my warlock. I love the synergy between me and my demon. I'm demo spec, which I guess is supposed to be the worst, but I've had no problems leveling or having fun at all. I tried a mage, but just missed the DOTs and the freedom of moment. And in the end, if I end up at the bottom of damage meters, who cares. She's still a hell of a lot of fun to play.

Yes. This new instance features Edward VanCleef as the end boss. He's much stronger than his brother Edwin.

"9. The Frogger gauntlet in Naxx has been moved to west-door of Ogrimmar. Alliance raids going for Thrall shall be forced to go through the front door."
Oh, if only this were really true....
SunwellVialist Jan 27th 2009 3:23PM
That had me chuckling.
Xtyle Jan 27th 2009 5:43PM
It's not like the front door is guarded either. ;)
The just look mean 'cause their green.
Deadly. Off. Topic. Jan 29th 2009 12:26PM
Could you imagine if it was implemented in Ogrimmar, they'd have to have an equilivent for Ironforge - probably that next level in Frogger with the Birds then. Miss a cloud, fall through the hole and into the canal.
