Around Azeroth: The heart is a lonely hunter

by Elizabeth Wachowski on Feb 22nd 2012 (17 hours ago)

After Mishkan of The Honor Guard on Earthen Ring (US-A) was lucky enough to receive a Lovely Black Dress during Love is in the Air, his guildmates asked him to pose in it and take a screenshot, possibly as some sort of elaborate hazing ritual. If, while looking at this screenshot, you find yourself hitting the space bar over and over again in a desperate attempt to get the heart container, you may want to take a break from whichever Legend of Zelda you're currently playing.

Around Azeroth: They call him The Streak

by Elizabeth Wachowski on Feb 21st 2012 (1 day ago)

He didn't have nothin' on but a smile. Recent Dragonwrath recipient Andrew has some tips for those who are planning on following in his footsteps. "Advice to all you folks nearing the end of your quests for the legendary: fashion, fashion, fashion!" he writes. "You're going to be hovering over your respective capital city for a few hours. You want to make sure everyone knows it's you who got the 9,457th legendary in the world. Make it memorable!"

Around Azeroth: One pill makes you larger

by Elizabeth Wachowski on Feb 20th 2012 (2 days ago)

Looking at this gnome's glassy, heavy-lidded gaze, I think we ought to test the contents of that pink vial for Warcraft-enhancing substances. "So the The Day that Deathwing Came quest bugged out on me," writes submitter Razerbug. "But rather than look at this negatively, I decided to go for a nice walk and see the sights instead. The goblins of Fuselight were not prepared for: When Giant Gnomes ATTACK!"

Around Azeroth: Walking on broken glass

by Elizabeth Wachowski on Feb 19th 2012 (3 days ago)

Gnome mage Raysaa of Hardcouer on Stormrage (US-A) knows that the job of the tank isn't just to absorb blows from super-sized bosses. It's also to walk ahead of the group and set off any traps, pitfalls or structural weaknesses that might fell a player with less than optimal health. Those spiky plate helmets do a heck of a lot better than a cloth cowl at stopping the falling glass hazards of Ulduar.

Around Azeroth: Everybody needs somebody to love

by Elizabeth Wachowski on Feb 18th 2012 (4 days ago)

Even immortal draconic demigods get lonely. Karapaice of The Lios Alfar on Khadgar (EU-A) found this secret valentine heart hidden inside Deathwing's jaw fragment. Is it just a coincidentally deformed artery or a last message for his old crush from his non-evil days, Alexstrasza? And if it's the latter, who can blame him? Everyone loves a redhead.

Around Azeroth: A bloody mess

by Elizabeth Wachowski on Feb 17th 2012 (5 days ago)

Bloodthirsty undead huntress Tilo of Undying on Ysera was very upset when she found out that Dexter Morgan was a fictional character. She had to settle for her second choice in mentor, Doctor Theolen Krastinov, also known as the Butcher of Scholomance. Tilo's enthusiasm for the murdering arts was so excessive that even the Butcher had to turn his head away from her gruesome experiments. At least they remembered to wear their safety goggles.

Around Azeroth: When I walk in the spot, this is what I see

by Elizabeth Wachowski on Feb 16th 2012 (6 days ago)

Everybody stops and they starin' at Koralie of Scions of the Horde on Argent Dawn (US-H). I'm not really sure why, since even in this tiny picture you can tell she's wearing more clothing than nine-tenths of the blood elves out there, which is confirmed by her Armory page. Perhaps after years of watching scantily clad female elves prance past them, the Silvermoon City guards have developed a fetish for concealing plate armor, sharp katanas and giant metal boots.

Around Azeroth: My jealousy

by Elizabeth Wachowski on Feb 15th 2012 (7 days ago)

"Some day," writes Duroxas of Twisting Nether (US-H). "Some. Day. As of this screenshot, I am three 6/7 clears of Firelands and a Ragnaros kill from the staff I've been working on since Firelands launched, and the staff that no one else (bar three very dedicated friends) has lifted a finger to help with since Deathwing decided to crash land into the Maelstrom. Every week or two, there's another blue dragon party in Orgrimmar and I get to sit around with my Runestaff and watch. Some day, it's going to be me up there on that giant holo-dragon ... it's just a matter of time."

Around Azeroth: Savage love

by Elizabeth Wachowski on Feb 14th 2012 (8 days ago)

Hell hath no fury like a worgen scorned. "Just a friendly reminder to all the raiders in relationships," advises Ashmodei of ExtendedCredit on Azuremyst (US-A). "Raid lockouts come once a week. Valentine's Day comes once a year. Choose wisely." Or else suffer wing scratches and bite marks from your batwolfdemon girlfriend? Not that there's anything wrong with that, if you're into that sort of thing.

Around Azeroth: Are we there yet?

by Elizabeth Wachowski on Feb 13th 2012 (9 days ago)

Submitter Theyas of iGuild on Kil'jaeden just can't wait for the next expansion -- he's ready to set sail for Pandaria now. Fortunately for us all, he's chosen to approach the new horizon in his Visage of Tarecgosa form, perhaps realizing that his true appearance would terrify the pandas so much that they would hide among the bamboo. I didn't realize that you could even make a goblin that looks like it's coming off an all-night cocaine binge.
