Around Azeroth Beta Edition: The laws of physics are a harsh mistress

Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see them on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as emailing 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. Please include the word "Azeroth" in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use Alt Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards, Vvl'kyr on mounts or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran. Older screenshots can be found here.

Saw this on the eugeetv livestream. We all made the comparison to escaping the Death Star in Episode 6.

Putting "beta" in the title to keep it spoiler free... doesn't really help when the picture isn't displayed after the break :P
I don't really care myself but I don't see how this could help people who do

Its not as if there's much spoiling to be done here anyway.
OMG there's explosions in Cataclysm?!?? Who knew?!?

Also, they still show up in the "Around Azeroth" and "Daily cataclysm screenshot" snippets on the right hand column of all articles :)

I looked up "spoiler" and this is what I found: "[A] long narrow plate along the upper surface of an airplane wing that may be raised for reducing lift and increasing drag"
I've carefully studied the plane in the screenshot and I can confirm...this Around Azeroth is indeed spoiler-free.

i've got an idea. instead of accidentally seeing all this spoiler information, why don't you take a fork and jam it into each one of your eyesockets? it's guaranteed to work. trust me, i'm a doctor.
if you want a less painful routine, i'd suggest seeing a psychologist. maybe he can tell you why you feel the need to come to a primarily cata spoiler website and complain about the spoilers.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I'm not particularly bothered, but it would help people who use RSS feeds, rather than peruse the main site.

I did say in my own post, if you care to read it, that I myself am not particularly offended by cataclysm spoilers.
It just seems strange to me that they would add this "feature" to help people that are... that doesn't even work!
zdave Jul 9th 2010 2:33PM
yeah i know you said you don't mind. i was really talking to the people that do mind. sorry for the offense :/

Exactly what I was coming in to post. Putting extra words in the title doesn't do squat to help people who're just scrolling by. Putting extra words in the title AND putting the screenshot after a cut would do the trick.

Robert Heinlein reference? Kudos to you!
Drahken Jul 9th 2010 11:14AM
Nice Futurama reference.

Of a Heinlein book

Which in turn is a play on the old sailors' saying "the sea is a harsh mistress". I was refering to the specific line though.

Is the one on the bottom wearing a Murloc Suit? If so, that's a picture that totally invalidates any argument.

Thank you very much Elizabeth for listening to my concerns. :)

"Vvl'kyr on mounts"? What's a Vv'kyr?
[/facetiousness]
But on a more serious note, I wonder if that means that maybe (MAYBE) one day they'll implement a ladder system? So you can go up and down ladders? I think that would add alot of flavor to the game... not every pirate hideout/monster lair/ancient temple has to wheelchair-accessible ;)

Goblins!
In!
SPAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
