Around Azeroth Beta Edition: Now you're thinking with portals
Beta tester Polegara of <Chamber of Aspects> (EU-A) was recently wandering around the newly redecorated Orgrimmar when she came upon this ghostly blood elf. The pointy-eared stranger, no doubt an Aperture Laboratories employee, was offering free portals to the inhabitants of the capital city. "Unfortunately, when questioned further, she admitted she would only send me to Nordrassil," wrote Polegara. "But her strange attire, coupled with a discarded Fusion Core from Uldum that had been deposited there by some untidy adventurer, gave her an otherworldy air. I wondered to what dimensions she might send me if only I could ding enough."

Sort of looks like what the Blood Elf version of the Brazier of Dancing Flames would look like if it was a Blood Elf instead of a Draenei.

This picture's a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

You took the words from my keyboard.

Aperture Science
We do what we must
Because we can
For the good of all of us ...
Except the ones who are dead!
This post has got that song stuck in my head. And so, to quote Anub'arak, you shall know my torment first hand!

I'm glad that it's stuck in MY head, I've had Bryan Adams in there all week; So to quote Anub'arak as well: [Screams] Never thought... I would be free of him...

I will take the time today to say that in my humble opinion,
"We do what we must because we can."
Is an absurdly eloquent, accurate, succinct, one line phrase that describes the inherent self aggrandizing pride that all of us who delve into the sciences poses, and somehow manages to convey the ominous, lurking, non-specific danger present in such discovery. Knowledge is power, and power corrupts absolutely.
On a related note I think Mr. Coulton is a genius who is under interpreted.

Polegara? A tribute to Polgara from David Eddings' Belgariad? Not bad... Definitely worth the read fellow WoW-ers. Book 1 is "Pawn of Prophecy"

Actually, I bet it's a combination of Polgara and her sister Poledra's names.

Sorry, i meant her mother, poledra.

I think this Blood Elf lass got the ire of Ironforge's Auric Goldfinger and his gnome henchman Oddjob. Sight leaves me shaken, not stirred.
But what do I know ... other than "THE CAKE IS A LIE."

When I saw the title, I went: "Portal Refrences! I have to make one in the comments!!" And then I looked at the comments, and it seems it was done before me :(
