Around Azeroth: Demolition man
Sometimes on Sunday I like to run something a little different, and this real-life screenshot (I think they used to be called photomagraphics or something) definitely qualifies. Tyvir of <The Raging Pink Bunnies> on Khadgar snapped this picture of his brother Clazum's new epic engineering mount, This 60% speed vehicle is designed to be used for mounted combat at the Essex County Fair demolition derby. It also provides a bonus to your Dodge rating. *rimshot* Hey-yo! See, because it ... is a Dodge ... Anyway, judging by the pictures of the derby linked above, fire resistance gear might be required in this particular instance. Hope you made it out in one piece, Clazum!

How is this post already up? It's 12:31 AM EST on August 16th and according to the title it's not going to be posted for another 9 and half hours.
Anyway, excellent photo!

Also, I almost thought it was sidebar ad when I was reading something else on the main page until I noticed what the writing on the car actually said. Funny how we visually book those ads out.

It's all to do with the way front page posts are 'queued' for this site. Once one of the editors submits something, the amount of time it takes to reach the front depends on the time of day and the number of queued articles.
The average time between articles appearing is an hour and a half; it may be less than an hour if there's breaking news, or well over 2 hours if it's a slow day (eg. during Blizzcon's morning hours). There's a 12-hour gap on most nights, starting in the evening and continuing to the next morning.
AA and WoW Moviewatch are oddities in that their content is viewable well before the articles are due to be posted (you can't write the article and post it if the content isn't already on the server). Being able to see this picture 9 hours ahead of schedule probably means it was posted late at night, in the site's quiet period.

TONIGHT!
Hammond and May go undercover in a drag race with the infalliable Skyshatter!
We have a world-exclusive test on the upcoming v8 [Riding Crop]!
And I (Jeremy) give the Flame Leviathan a run for its money with the Titan's new head-themed number!

Simply rocks. Not a fan of demo derbies per se, but I am a fan of anybody with a great sense of humor.
'This is a very slow mount' LOL
Kraf Aug 16th 2009 10:44AM

Skarlette Aug 16th 2009 10:54AM

The Demolition Derby was only a set back!
douglas.davey Aug 16th 2009 11:41AM
mounted combat sucks and should not be encouraged :P
Zayd Aug 16th 2009 11:54AM
In Essex? Must be the Epic Capri.
Aigarius Aug 16th 2009 12:05PM
Actually it is a grey and not an epic ;)
Barinthos Aug 16th 2009 12:11PM
Coolest WoW themed vehicle evar!
Deathcritter Aug 16th 2009 4:31PM
I'm colorblind, is that blue or purple text on the item name?
Kraf Aug 16th 2009 5:10PM
actually I can't tell either now that I look at it...i almost wana say purple
Tyvir Aug 16th 2009 10:00PM
Hey guys, glad everyone enjoyed the photo. It was indeed an epic Mount, the text was purple.
I'm sad to report that while Claz made it through the gauntlet he wiped on the final boss. The fire resist would have come in handy as his car's gas line broke and shot fire from the hood. Being the good hunter he is, he feigned and made it out OK.
The raid resets next year. He'll try again then.
