This week, I've got a modest list of comics for you guys, although number seven should give you something to do!

1. Cru the Dwarf: Some very important people are about to be revealed! Once they are, we find out that our friendly dwarf could use a history lesson.
2. Dark Legacy Comics: No one likes to be Heartbroken.
3. Flintlocke vs. the Horde, Episode 11, Part 7: The Final Straw.
4. Check out the guest strip hosted by GU Comics, created by Luis Amaral, Dubious Achievements.
5. The latest LFG shouldn't be missed, even if you regularly pass on it.
6. NoObz: The Point of it All. I think about this a lot when loot drama crops up.
7. Ctrl+Alt+Del has spoofed a couple of Infomercials. Namely, the infamous ShamWow, the Slap Chop, and their not-so-subtle pitchman, Vince Offer. If this doesn't tickle your funny bone, Abitranni from Cenarion Circle offered up what is arguably a better parody of the ShamWow infomercial.
8. Teh Gladiators: Just When You Thought Ghouls Would Help.
9. World of Warcraft, eh?: Valentine Vengeance.
10. Ebenezer and Snooch: You probably shouldn't threaten your cat in the middle of playing WoW.

Seen commercials for the ShamWow? Well, today Kilh Machinima brings you its Azerothian equivalent in Hoodoo Teleshopping - The Deadmurloc(tm), his entry for the BlizzCon movie contest. Be warned: you must reconcile yourself with the idea that, although this version of Azeroth has television, it doesn't have a better way to clean your house than with a rehydrated dead murloc. Hoodoo Teleshopping is a Troll-run version of Home Shopping Network which demos the Deadmurloc product (don't forget the trademark) right before your eyes and shows you how the murlocs are harvested in cartoony, gory detail.

I found the background music to be too distracting, competing with the already-variable levels on the voice acting, so sometimes it was hard to follow the sales pitch especially from the gravelly-voiced Troll salesman. The visuals are well done, though, and the effect of putting the HSN-style border around the image is slick. Kilh says it only took him 4.5 days to finish the production in order to meet the contest deadline. But hey, you can't argue with getting a Big Flat Rock for FREE. Now what would you pay?
