Around Azeroth: Tornado drill
Edgarv of Fires of Tirisfal on Maelstrom (US-A) writes, "During the Al'Akir encounter, there are the lucky ones, and their are the not-so-lucky ones. Blizzard has worked long and hard to eradicate RNG; however, it cannot be gone completely. The chances that one is blasted five times in a row (in one of eight locations on the platform) to completely annihilate one's character in the first phase can be quite disheartening. Doing the math, I found that the chance of this happening was in fact 1 in 32768. Well, if your corpse is left behind while the rest of your raid is transported to fight him in the air, you're transported inside his tempestuous figure to observe, from the inside, Al'Akir's downfall."

"Blizzard has worked long and hard to eradicate RNG;"
Actually, I'd say that this tier of content has, as a whole, waaaaaaay more RNG than any tier in Wrath, at least on 10-man. Al'Akir is one of the worst offenders.

Amusingly, this comes right after we had a tornado in my town. While it wasn't very big, and the damage was limited to tearing the roof off a landscaping company, it's still a very strange thing to have happen in Northern California.

First Tuesday of the month! Well, that's when our drills were growing up.

Male worgen look kinda cute when you give them big googly-goggle eyes.
Female worgen, on the other hand... there's no helping them.

WOW. Okay! Thank you for this comment! I literally could not make my brain parse this screenshot until you said "male Worgen."

Al'Akir! Your drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!

I don't know which is better, the screenshot or the commentary on it.

No, I still can't decide. They're both pretty awesome.
