A collection of Oddities, Rants, and other funny things about the World of Warcraft

  • Location: Karazhan, Deadwind Pass Faction: Neutral Karazhan has always been a place that’s not all there.  The wizard that lived there was ‘half-possessed’ by the leader of the Burning Legion, had an affair with a half-orc/half-draenei with a heart of gold (and a knife in King Llane’s chest), and spent half of his time killing…

  • Location: Anywhere Noblegarden is celebrated Faction: Neutral Now I’m an open minded guy.  I don’t take issue with the marriage between a human and a gnome.  I voted for reforming the forsaken health care system to exclude “already dead” as a preexisting condition to refuse coverage.  I even protested the unlawful removal of tauren for…

  • Warning: Parts of this posts include potential spoilers to Cataclysm and the WoW Comics. You have been warned. Shortly after I finished my post about why the Alliance should have pride in being part of the Alliance, I received this in my inbox: Dear Pathetic Alliance Lover, I’ll give you some credit. You got a…

  • Location: Various Book Spawn Points, Dalaran Faction: Neutral This is one I stumbled upon on my tedious waiting for Higher Learning.  It’s essentially a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions for those who are pondering the acronym and don’t often peruse for free game guides on the internet).  My favorite is the one from the picture: if…

  • Location: Arsenal Absolute, Dalaran Faction: Neutral You gotta give a hand to these guys.  I don’t know if they got it off someone they caught stealing red-handed but just seeing it displayed so prominently gives me a shake.  I’m surprised that the no authorities have asked them to hand it over just to check it…

  • Location: Warden’s Cage, Shadowmoon Valley Faction: Neutral Illidan Stormrage.  Do I have to say anything else?  He’s become a punchline unto himself. The Betrayer went from a sympathetic anti-hero, to a villain, to the Warcraft equivalent of an old man sitting on his porch and yelling for those darn kids to get off his Outland. …

  • Location: Saltheril’s Haven, Eversong Woods Faction: Horde Back when The Burning Crusade was the next big thing, there was a lot of talk about the Blood Elves.  They originally had scrawnier models that looked weak, so Blizz buffed up the models to look like… well… models. The other concern was with their attitude.  Were the…

  • Location: Stonewrought Dam, Loch Modan/Wetlands Faction: Alliance I have to wonder some days exactly what is going through the minds of some races.  At what point did a group of dwarves layout the structure for this dam and go “You know what? I think this needs some more spitting.”  Especially when you realize this is…

  • Last post I discussed some of the reasons I felt there were to actually be proud to play an Alliance character.  They stood against those who would see them dead, they sacrificed their lives in an unknown world for safety back home, and they managed to get Gilneas, Dalaran and Alterac to play nice (a…

  • Kiddo over at Journal of a WoW Kiddie posted an interesting thought about the lack of pride amongst the Alliance forces.  It got me thinking about the topic too.  Kiddo raises a lot of good points on the matter, namely the surge of spite at a number of King Wrynn’s recent actions as well as…
