TurpsterVision: This drink's on me!

We can't believe it either – Turpster has been let loose on WoW.com to bring you videos from in and around the World of Warcraft! You've heard him on the WoW Insider Show, and now see him on TurpsterVision right here on WoW.com.
It's been far too long. I've been playing loads of games in-between knuckling down with some university work, I've constructed a website for a Bristol based landscape gardener, and I've been on a couple of different podcasts. Yet with all this I've missed out on gracing the net with WoW.com's number 1 Video Podcast! In the immortal words of Tychus J. Findlay, 'Hell, it's about time!'
But I wouldn't just return to your screens empty handed, oh no, I come bearing gifts! A mighty tankard overflowing with ale -- at least it could be if you are lucky enough to win it and fill it with some booze or other beverage of your choosing.
The stein itself is a beautiful piece of art and construction. To really enjoy the details, check out the gallery below the break.
It's good to be back.
So just to go over the contest once again (or for the few of you who are honestly too lazy to click play on the video) all you have to do is to send me a Twitter message prefixed with '@The_T' and including the phrase 'I wanna get tanked with Turpster' before Tuesday 1st December 11:59pm GMT. A winner will be chosen at random after this time, please don't enter more than once, otherwise you will be disqualified from winning. Also please ensure you are following me on Twitter at the time of the contest end as I will contact you via Direct Message to notify you. This is open to anyone and everyone (Non-USA residents rejoice!) and I will do my best to get the Rise of the Lich King stein out to you before the 25th of December.
The WoW.com logo covered it on the video, but if you want to come and have a few rounds with me on Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3 then make sure to add The_T_UK to your friends. I warn you though, I am very, very bad.
Stay tuned to the site as I have not one, but two great new products to show you -- excited doesn't quite cover how I am feeling!
Check out more of Turpster's work, from his WoW parody songs to TV previously on Massively.com, not forgetting everyone's favorite podcast 'The WoW Insider Show' and of course, TurpsterVision right here on WoW.com! Oh and by the way, It's his Birthday today!

Why does ads cover this over?
Fierna Nov 24th 2009 8:04PM
So that you can watch it for free.
Click the little X button in the Upper Right corner of the ad.
Fripomanic Nov 25th 2009 12:54PM
Yeah, but even after the clicking the little X to close the ad, big pictures from the ad still cover up 90% of the video area and they won't go away, regardless of browser. How do I fix this, it isn't watchable like this. =(

No. Show up to a party with that mug, and people will know what a HUGE NERD you are.
Falcon6 Nov 24th 2009 7:17PM
At least you would be a huge nerd with a huge stein.
And everyone knows what people say about guys with big steins.
Colin Nov 24th 2009 8:00PM
Well, actually my friend regularly shows up to uni parties with his Tankard o' Terror. No matter how nerdy, it's a scary looking stein, man.
Also, lots of people recognize it and comment on it, surprisingly. I guess I have nerdy friends.
Rilandune Nov 25th 2009 9:36AM
And, just how is that a bad thing? Also, no one really uses the term "nerd" anymore...
Personally I love the stein, I'd love to be seen with the stein, and I would love to be known as the geek with the stein, because as well all know, geeks are cool, geeks are good, and geeks rule the world.
PS. compare the definition of nerd and geek and you'll see what I mean.

WOW always wanted one of those Steins.

Whoops, that is from an older post. That's what I get for being lazy and copy pasting stuff :P I'll make sure to fix that on the next post ;)

Why do you want me to be a twitterer?
schmO Nov 24th 2009 8:00PM

Lmao - didn't Turpster was from the UK, let alone from Bristol. Which Uni do you go to mate? UWE or UB?
Dead Nov 24th 2009 7:57PM
Epic fail on my part - didn;t complete the sentence before hitting send, meant to say:
Lmao - didn't know Turpster was from the UK, let alone from Bristol. Which Uni do you go to mate? UWE or UB? Am from UWE!
Mark Turpin Nov 25th 2009 4:19AM
I too go to UWE, I am in Bower Ashton doing Animation, how about you? Totally worth derailing any WoW based comments on here :P
