Around Azeroth: Sucker punch
"After being the first to notice that Julak-Doom had spawned on my server yesterday and wiping several times each in a 2-, 5-, 10-, 17-, and finally 22-person raid group before finally calling it a day and going to work, I decided to see if he was still around today," writes Zanthexter of <Fortis quod Versus> on Ravencrest (US-A). "He wasn't, but his headgear was ... just a giant octopus floating in midair. What struck me as quite interesting was that even though Blizzard likely wouldn't expect anyone to ever see the underside of one of these things, they did, in fact, include a pretty toothy mouth for it to be chomping down on heads with. Oh, and slime, lots of drippy slime! As always, I am deeply impressed by the attention to detail and care that Blizzard puts into WoW."

YOUR SIMPLE MIND CANNOT GRASP WHAT IS TRANSPIRING. YOU WILL SERVE ME AND THEN DIE PAINFULLY.

I don't know why, but "glomp" is completely hilarious and caused me to come down with a case of the gigglesnorts at work. Thanks.

You see the under side of it in the final boss Ozumat in Throne of the Tides.
arcaneterror Jan 2nd 2011 12:49PM
Ozumat and the headsquids have different models, iirc.

Is this reality?

Attention to detail? Did you ever look at a tree?
Go ahead, down vote fanbois, but you know it's true.
Skarn Jan 2nd 2011 1:13PM
Hey, trees are detailed!
Flat, sure, but detailed. ;)
Tayacan Jan 2nd 2011 1:21PM
Well, that depends on what you think of as details. If you're thinking of graphics, sure, WoW isn't exactly top-notch. Which is fine, it means that my crappy old laptop can run it.
However, blizzard do make a lot of 'unnecessary' details in all of their games. All the little items that add flavor, and then something like this.

No, we vote you down because nearly every other post you've made has demonstrated that you're a complete misogynistic jerk.
It's just habit now.
Bernie Roscoe Jan 2nd 2011 1:33PM
Funny, I feel the same way about you Tokkar.
Tokkar Jan 2nd 2011 1:55PM
Um...Bernie? Just a quick question for you...do you even know what "misogynistic" means? I'm anything but, thank you very much. Now, click on "Annoyed" and read his previous posts. That's what I'm talking about.

I find a disturbing lack of schoolgrls with swords and guns in this post.

@MusedMoose
The lack of tentacles in those trailers disturbs me.
Astro Jan 2nd 2011 10:46PM
Oh great, now we only lack a fisherman's wife.
