Around Azeroth Beta Edition: There's something in the sea
Continuing yesterday's theme of video game taglines in titles, we present this Vashj'ir shot from Troggdor of Aggramar (US-H.) Mother Nature is quite a garish decorator, isn't she? I think the last time I saw something like this was on a black light poster in college. "Now I need to hire some gnomes to harness these colors and lighting for an underwater night club," writes Troggdor.

Blizzard has done some marvelous work on their underwater areas, even in the old world (the Reef off of Stranglethorn and the area off of Desolace, particularly). Just breathtaking.

This picture's a triumph.
I'm making a no... oh, wait.

Awesome -- I see fan coral, tube coral, staghorn coral, sea urchins, and I think there's some brain coral under there too.
Makes me want to go scuba diving again... *sigh*
I can tell my Sea Turtle mount and Kalu'ak fishing pole will be getting a lot of use in Cataclysm.

But it's hard to burninate peasants when you're under the sea.

Under the sea! Under the sea!
There's something with fins
Larger than Stormwind
That's coming for me!
I almost swam outside of the zone,
And now I'll be chewed down to the bone!
Watch out for the whale shark,
It's got more bite than bark,
Under the sea!

Whale sharks have about 3000 teeth, but they are pretty useless. They are filter feeders, feeding mainly on plankton and krill.

Oh, I know what a whale shark is in the real world.
I also know that, in WoW, they're these horrifyingly huge monstrosities that have ridiculous amounts of hit points and hit for more damage than some dungeon bosses have HP. *That* was why the song was necessary. ^_^

Yay my pic was chosen :) I took that pic on the far west side of vash'jir when exploring for new tameable pets. I saw that reef and was really shocked by how vibrant of an area it is. There's also jelly fish floating off a nearby ridge, but I couldn't get a shot I liked of them

I am here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?
'No,' says the man in Washington, 'it belongs to the poor.'
'No,' says the man in the Vatican, 'it belongs to God.'
'No,' says the man in Moscow, 'it belongs to everyone.'
I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...
Rapture.

Just watch out for those golf clubs, matey.
