Patch 5.2 interview with Dave Kosak
Inside an old alt's vault
The latest patch 5.2 news
All of the latest Mists of Pandaria newsBRK'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.

Hahaha, good post, BRK.

I don't know about "PG-13", some of those ghost sluts in Kara use some pretty colorful language already.
Joyous_Oblivion Jan 27th 2009 7:23PM
Ghost sluts in Kara? I 'lol'ed to that, possibly in ignorance as I don't remember said ghost sluts, hehe.

haha, I love #1. At least 3 times a night I have to tell someone that it's pronounced "Fyord" not "Fajord" (playfully correcting, of course)
of course it's the same people who used to say "stoykicism" instead of "stoicism"
Cracks me up everytime!

Bwa ha ha! As always, BRK, you effing rock. This was hilarious, and a welcome break from all the patch issue, erm, "discussion." I think #7 is my favorite, seeing as my main is a BM Hunter, though I'd love to see a heroic Deadmines as well. *grin*
Slaytanic Jan 27th 2009 8:41PM
OMG!! Hilarious!! Love the BM talent.
Heroic VC!!! My server has been crying for that forever. Can't wait to get my 213 Defias Set.
Lapdogs, all of you!!
BRYan Jan 27th 2009 8:54PM

#2 is awesome and #5 really should be implemented SRSLY.
timo Jan 27th 2009 10:08PM

timo Jan 27th 2009 10:11PM
love yah brk, but if your destro locks are gettin out dps'ed by mages of any spec they need to /wrists or re-roll BM hunters.

Thank you. The WI-assisted patch whining became really tedious.

Never heard this but reading it made my day :D

Well... this was sick, mabey they changed them, but that about DM being HC raid is about something strange I tried in Gnomeregan about 3 weeks ago when instead of doing some low mabey 13damage/3sec it did 17%/total health witch made my warlock punched in his face. I were not that good healer for myself to hold back 1900dmg/3sec. I don't know if they changed that now, but otherwise it's just paladins, druid and priest that can boost gnomeregan.

BRK... you just earned a life time and a half worth of cool points; and a bill for my key board, since it was your humor that made me spray soda all over it!
