Tinwhisker sent us this link to a set of entertaining PUG bingo cards on the official forums, made by Cruce of Scarlet Crusade. While I’m not sure I would actually have gotten bingo on any single run, some of the squares have certainly happened in many of my runs: A pure DPS class doing triple digit DPS (especially Death Knights; sorry to all the good DKs out there). RankWatch. Almost every run. Three or more members are “the Patient.” I guess it’s nice to show that they have some PuG experience, but that just makes egregious failures that much more disappointing. Someone starts on a mob the tank hasn’t even hit yet. More often than not. Melee DPS attacking from the front. It’s really not that hard, folks. One thing I’d add to the list is people protesting that they don’t take the game that seriously when you give them advice, like that they might want to put up diseases before using other strikes on their DK. You don’t have

Be warned: This post, as well as the video above, includes minor spoilers for Patch 3.3’s Shadowmourne quest chain. If you don’t want to be spoiled, do not read/watch. We’ve featured a video showing off this stretch of the Shadowmourne questline before, the bit where you retrieve Light’s Vengeance, but I would hardly call The Sacred and the Corrupt old news. It’s still a quest just about every class that can wield two-handed is thinking about. Unfortunately, not everyone will be able to witness this amazingly epic quest themselves. Because of that, I set out to try and get a better recording of the quest for everyone. There were some successes, like actually being able to record the sounds and voice acting. There were also some failures, like my inability to do the quest completely without my UI. Here’s a tip: When you turn off most of your addons to improve the quality of your recording, don’t forget that some of those addons controlled

Last week’s post included a whole slew of commenter tips about WoW-related comic strips, so in addition to reading through your favorites, check out some of these newcomers: The latest from Torment of the Week. My main comment here would be: WTB perma-links. Here is one from Real Life Comics that is about Diablo 2, but I’ll include it because it is also about Blizzard’s patching habits. GRATS! The De-Evolution of the Quest. I love how game issues are discussed beneath the comic. I also love how the old guy is a dead ringer for Disney’s Jafar from the first Aladdin movie when he pretends to be a prisoner in order to convince Aladdin to go into the cave and retrieve the lamp. The Battlemasters: Guilded Butterflies. Here’s a new one: Guilded Age. Start reading from the title page, and next week I’ll start posting the updates. Working Daze also recently posted two WoW-related comics, including one about patch day. Teh Gladiators: They’re A

We’d already noticed last week that the Authenticators in the US store had gone free shipping, but now official updates on Blizzard’s site say it’s true in the EU as well. American authenticators still cost $6.50, but you no longer have to pay anything extra for shipping, and EU authenticators have had their price dropped to €6.99. That’s still over $10, but they’re at least cheaper than they used to be. There’s a drawback, however: apparently they went with cheaper shipping, because you can no longer track shipments of authenticators, and shipping will take a little longer (up to 15 business days in the US). Which makes sense, given that you want these things as cheap as possible. Ancilorn answers some other Authenticator questions as well — there’s no discount for buying multiple units at all; what you see is what you get. And while the only authenticator for purchase at the moment is the Corehound branded unit, there may be more

In spite of his many years of study and apprenticeship, deep down, Kathanor of Arthas never really wanted to be a blood elf mage. He wanted to be … a lumberjack gnome pirate! Leaping from ship to ship throughout the mighty seas of Azeroth! The Defias! The Southsea! The Bloodsail! The plucky little Blackwater! The smell of freshly oiled cannons! The clink of gold coins! Kathanor has long suppressed these urges, but doing The Cleansing and fighting his inner turmoil has brought it all back to the surface. How soon until he starts attacking Booty Bay Bruisers?

Blizzard continues to update their minisite — the latest newness is the posting of a new Blizzcast, in two parts. In part one, Karune of the Starcraft community team interviews Chris Metzen, Rob Pardo, and Samwise Didier about the history of Warcraft as a whole (it’s celebrating the 15th anniversary as well this year), and part two has our friend Nethaera talking to J. Allen Brack, Tom Chilton, and Jeff Kaplan about the game itself. As is usual with the official podcast, there’s not much new information here (especially if you’ve already read through some retrospective press), but both interviews are worth a listen (and/or a read through the transcript) if only to hear these guys all in a room together, joking around about old times. Elsewhere on the site, they’ve started posting written interviews as well. The first one is with Shane Dabiri, former lead producer on the game, and there are faded-out spots for J. Allen Brack, Tom Chilton, and Jeff

Here we see an excellent example of an undead warlock in the wild. After being chased out of her natural habitat of dark basements and abandoned crypts by maurading dwarves, she attempts to camouflage herself among the flowers and lilypads outdoors. Unfortunately, the distinct lack of bright colors in the warlock’s wardrobe will prove her undoing. Her brown outfit and white skin makes her easy prey, and seconds after this picture was taken, she was eaten by a grue. (Thanks to Chuffchuff of <Kids Next Door> on Hakkar for the pic!)

All I can say is, “Mmm, gnome brain.” Dark Legacy Comics: Gnome Brain. Teh Gladiators: They Come to Disturb Our Peace. NPC: Asil’s Question. Kitties never learn though do they? Appreciation. I especially love this next one: Ahem. Daily Quests: Hell Hath No Fury. LFG #307 and #308. Dungeons and Draenei: 2012 WoW. Beyond the Tree: An Unfriendly Reception. Check out the latest from Slash AFK. Complex Actions: The homepage has their latest one. So far, I can’t figure out how to make a permalink to their latest comic until it becomes the second-latest comic. WoW eh: What Have You Done. Battlemasters: A Fine Mess.

After trying to entrap her Thanksgiving dinner with a cleaver, a polearm, a guildmate’s Fireball spell, a carefully constructed gnomish engineering device, and an errant feral druid in cat form, Nayuki of Demon Soul finally had to admit defeat. The turkey was simply smarter than she was. Her only hope for a decent holiday meal was to wait until the turkey’s back was turned, and then blindly stab away with her knife. Surely that would work.
