Around Azeroth: The light fantastic

Filed under: Screenshots, Around Azeroth, Galleries

Bored during extended EU downtime, Jubinibu of <Legends of Azeroth> on Anachronos-EU sent us this screenshot of his draenei paladin hanging around Storm Peaks on the PTR. He also penned this (slightly edited) paean of praise to his fellow healers: “We’re healers. Bearing the burden of responsibility to take [...]

Guildwatch: It was my friend

Of course the issue is supposed to be fixed now, but after getting booted off their mains in Ulduar, Dark Haven on Baelgun had had enough, and made a dancing line of cows to display their displeasure. Pretty funny.
Lots more guild shenigans in this week’s Guildwatch as usual, including some drama (both good and bad), [...]

Ready Check: Koralon the Flame Watcher

Ready Check is a column focusing on successful raiding for the serious raider. Hardcore or casual, Vault of Archavon or Ulduar, everyone can get in on the action and down some bosses.

WoW.com interview: Dr. Hilarie Cash of reSTART Internet Addiction Recovery Program

We’ve talked about Internet addiction before a few times here on the site, but it’s always been through the lens of the media. Certainly there are players of WoW and other games out there who play the game so much it’s affecting their lives, but most of the cases we’ve heard about have been a [...]

WoW Moviewatch: La Terroriste

I’m a Ralph Bakshi fan from way back, but I still don’t know how I got a Wizards vibe from a WoW-based sci-fi flick. Still, I got an unmistakably Bakshi-esque feel from Olibith’s entry into the BitFilm Festival 2009 Machinima Award, a short film titled La Terroriste.
It’s a brief movie, and fairly odd. It’s one [...]
