Around Azeroth Beta Edition: Wasted away again in Kalimdor

Today's submission falls into the "ha-ha, I'm in the Cataclysm beta and you're not" category. Beta tester Gallrock snapped this shot of himself chilling with a couple of mixed drinks at what our own Anne identifies as Gallywix Pleasure Palace in Azshara. If you look closely, you can see green sparks shooting from the drinks, which has to be a big predictor of whether your future will involve throwing up over a balcony while wearing a toga.

while it would be cool to be in beta, it takes away that whole epic feeling you get when you first step foot into new "Content".
really the only thing beta testers would have over a player who didn't get into beta is that the beta tester would know where to begin when the game goes live.

Hahaha, alcohol + WoW...
I had a rogue guildie a while back that did more dps AFTER he'd been drinking!

Haha yea, i have that with healing. If we wipe, my guild usually blames it on me not drinking enough beer.

The thing that stood out most for me was his weapon of choice on his back: a scythe.
Well, I'd be very pleased if in Cataclysm if more models of weapons were as such. Right now, whenever I look at 'scythe' weapons in WotLK, they aren't exactly as such and they are all green weapons, anyway.
The only two weapons I can come up with off the top of my head are Lord Ahune's scythe and the Sunken Temple class quest at level 50 that you could choose a scythe. But a lot of people never chose that one because of the trinket to make, what was it? Any demon summon for free (no mana/soul shards) or did it apply only to Voidwalker summons?
Please don't tell me I got my hopes up and the one in the screenshot is actually the latter example. I needs me some favourite weapon love!

Bleh, I butchered that just a tad, meant to say 'the only two weapons I can come up with off the top of my head that *ARE* actually scythes would be', etc.
Oh well, that's what I get for rushed typing.
