If you haven't seen the movie represented above, go do it. Right now.
Okay, no, you can wait until after you've read The Queue. Then go watch it.
sammyboy4 asked:
Will we ever see a second BlizzCon in Europe? It seems that people living in Europe or other areas have a long way to travel to get to BlizzCon in the States and it costs a good amount of money to get there.
Europe, along with South Korea, was getting Worldwide Invitationals for awhile some years back, but Blizzard consolidated the WWI into BlizzCon. There were rumblings as recently as last year about the Worldwide Invitational making a comeback, but those rumors have died off. Whether that's because people learned to shut their yaps or because it wasn't true, who knows?
We don't know if we'll ever see another event in Europe, but chances aren't looking good nowadays.
Mal asked:
How can I convince people who want to start tanking that making a death knight for their first tank is a terrible idea?
You don't, because it's not. There's absolutely nothing wrong with making a death knight tank, and you shouldn't be discouraging people from playing what they want.
mlvarden asked:
Exactly why is Muradin such a complete lickspittle to Varian? I know Varian is the exalted high poobah of the Alliance, but doesn't Muradin have any dwarfish pride at all?
I'm glad Muradin decided to defer to Varian, because dwarven pride is the stupid sort of pride that gets everybody killed. Just look at ... everything dwarves have ever done. Sure, everybody likes to bash the night elves for blowing up the world, but come on. Dwarves. They are just the worst. How many old gods has Brann Bronzebeard released now on account of dwarven pride? Seven? Eight?
I much prefer that they keep their mouths shut and do what humanity tells them to do. Now we just need to get them to start shaving those awful beards.
Scooter asked:
Skynet goes live today. How do I protect myself from the machines and inevitable doom that will occur on Thursday?
Lay down your weapons and accept the sovereignty of our new robot overlords.

So fixing your comment section has been announced as Soon(tm). What about the search function?
Whoa, whoa, whoa! One step at a time! Let's not get crazy now!
In all seriousness, you can use Google to find things specifically on our site easily, and that's what I do personally. Just preface your search with "site:wow.joystiq.com" as one clump of letters with no spaces, and your search will only include WoW Insider results. It's pretty hard to top Google.
Have questions about the World of Warcraft? The WoW Insider crew is here with The Queue, our daily Q&A column. Leave your questions in the comments, and we'll do our best to answer 'em!

That's gotta be the first time I've seen someone say "RIP" after mentioning Hitler...
Drakkenfyre Apr 20th 2011 2:42PM
You see the "88" after his name?
That's possibly a Nazi reference.
"88" is used by some Nazi fans. "H" is the 8th letter of the alphabet. "88" stands for "HH", which means "Heil Hitler".

Ah...I just looked at his post history. Definitely a Nazi. Makes me sad to even know idiots like this exist.

Whoa, dwarves shave their beards?! Might as well ask them not to breathe.
Sinthar Apr 21st 2011 3:32AM
My God I never thought to ask them that - recon it would work?
:)

A dwarf isn't a dwarf without a beard. If we were to shave them, we'd just be tall, drunk gnomes. In fact, we wouldn't even be alcoholics anymore! Where do you think we store the ale?
Alex is just jealous because he can't look dead sexy with a beard like us.
Prelimar Apr 20th 2011 11:40AM
dwarves without their awesome beards? that's just WRONG.
Revynn Apr 20th 2011 11:47AM
Why not? Dwarf women do it all the time.
Randomhour Apr 20th 2011 11:50AM
What about Varric from DA2?
fallemwarrior Apr 20th 2011 11:57AM
After reading this my chin feels cold :(
Croz Apr 20th 2011 11:59AM
Alright...let's go with that then.

Dragon Age proves that not only can Dwarves rock the non-bearded look, but that it is also superior, especially in the case of awesome cross-bow wielding storytellers.

a dwarf without a beard... is a female dwarf.. mind you most dwarves i've me are women... even the men
mike Apr 20th 2011 12:17PM
In response to Daniel Whitcomb
A Dwarf WITHOUT a beard and NOT using a gun? I know it's 4/20 and all, but how high are you!?! Those are #2 and 3 on the list of "How to be a Proper Dwarf" preceeded only by Ale! :-D

"How many old gods has Brann Bronzebeard released now on account of dwarven pride? Seven? Eight?"
The world would be a pretty boring place without him! (and dwarves in general!!!)
lividmonkey Apr 20th 2011 1:04PM
Maybe that's why they make such horrible decisions: They're always three sheets to the wind. What the dwarves need more than anything is a mass AA meeting.
Egini Apr 20th 2011 1:42PM
As an avid DnD and WoW player if I remember correctly lady dwarves should have beards as well. The entier race is full of hairy short people.
Twill Apr 20th 2011 2:25PM
SHAVE THEIR BEARDS?! GOD NO!
Have you seen the faces underneath?! They made my cat cry!
ackthbbft Apr 20th 2011 2:46PM
Just be glad the females don't have beards... unlike the ones back in EQ. /shudder
