i start to feel sorry for the NPCs. i just imagine them talking to each other at the end:

Ogre: "Guys, what the fuck just happened?"
Shambler: "That was just embarassing, did anyone hit him?"
Death Knight: "I did!"
Shambler: "That was me you dick. Remember? That's why i started trying to claw your eyes out."
Death Knight: "Oh, yeah. In my defense he wasn't fighting fair like normal, he kept bouncing around like a fucking douche."
A voice comes in over the loud speakerphone: "Player1 has scored a new record!"
Ogre: "Shit, Chthon is gonna be pissed."
Death Knight: "Fuck Chthon! My wife is gonna kill me, im on a performance based contract."

To be clear, are you "pro" or "anti" uplifted-transhuman-extraterriestrial-mmoaddicted-cyborg-animals?
Just want to know where you and I stand...
I think they shouldn't be subjected to discrimination. I suppose that makes me "pro" uplifted-transhuman-extraterrestrial-mmoaddicted-cyborg-animal rights.
Mostly though I'd wanna talk to 'em, because I think they'd have a rather unusual point of view on a lot of topics.
Like, should you spec your Death Knight Blood, or Unholy for the best raid DPS?


Unholy!

I put it up because I got a good laugh out of the whole thing. PETA somehow thinks they are going to have a rally in WoW while flagged for PvP and everything is going to go smoothly? Hell, I made a Horde Death Knight on WhisperWind just to go over there and club seals. I see this ending with corpse camped PETA members, lots of cursing, and a healthy dose of tea bagging.

Timmy: Non existent term. He made that up on the spot.

"I NEED HELP" .. she's an idiot.

LFM: Looking for more, implying that there is already part of a group assembled.

25 Nex: Makes no sense, they must mean 25 Naxx, which is a raid dungeon that you can attack as 25 people. (Nexus is a 5-man instance)

2 more tanks, 2 more DK: long story short, a tank is the one that takes the punishment from bosses and the like in dungeons. Death knight is a special class.

He is also an idiot.

Ponzor does not exist, he must have warped it from pwn, own and just amalgamated his own version. (see the line above)


Kek is an in-joke, like 1337-speak. I think it originated in korean Starcraft games, where koreans apparently say kekek instead of lol (laugh out loud).

QQ is very right. If you want to see examples of this visit the rogue forums on wow.com; it's basically what they do. (It comes from a smiley like 0_0.. a Q looks like a crying eye.)

Flap? Fap? What's he saying? Heard of Fap, but I don't think that's what he said.

"5 capped AB", you don't really say that. But AB (Arathi Basin) is a battleground, which requires you to capture "bases" on a map, while you have any number of "bases", you generate a number of points. The more you have the faster. The game ends at 2000 points. So, he capped all 5 bases in two minutes. (An almost unachievable feat, unless there is almost no one on the opposing team.)
This is not something to be particularly proud of, because unless you've never played the game before, you can do this several times a day, if the opponents are particularly weak.)

"pwnzor'd Wintergrasp with 40 people" ugh.. I mean.. ugh. He's an idiot.

I'm getting way too into this. I better go throw a football around or something.

*lies

Makes it look like WoW players are incapable of normal conversation. Anybody who tries to use jargon to talk to somebody who doesn't play the game is an idiot, regardless of whether they are a gamer or not. Some of us have college degrees and normal full-time jobs.
Plus, "LFM 25 nex 2 more tanks 2 more DKs" does NOT mean "I need help". It means "We're trying to put together a team of twenty-five people to attack the Nexus. We need two more people who will hold the enemy's attention and two more Death Knights."
And "kek" is not how you laugh, it's an in-joke.
And only real assholes use QQ. It's for cold-hearted taunting of other players.
And I've never heard anybody referred to as a Timmy. Maybe that's just a joke on his server.
All in all, this report is full of dumb shit that might be funny if it was directed at gamers instead of non-gamers.


I guess I'm an asshole because I tell people to go QQ all the time. And kek, from my experience, evolved from a cross-faction joke into normal conversation.

I've heard of Timmys, but that's because I've spent more hours on the forums than I care to remember. If I remember correctly, that leaked in from some "other" strange culture.

All in all, this video is funny to me as parody; have you ever seen the media display our "rich culture" as anything other than insipid, immoral or, in this case, moronic?

Woot, thank you all, and especially thanks KP =) And congrats to theaceofclubz, lavoll and nibiyabi!

It was nice to reach a milestone after a busy and rough month! My trip to Finland was wonderful, but it took me a few weeks to recover physically and mentally. Mostly I was bouncing between 'I am ALIVE! Didn't die in a plane crash' and 'I should have done more while I was in Finland and been nicer to my mom!' states.

Then right in the middle of this is the election, and net was something between a basket case and a nervous wreck who 'went canvasing for 3 hours' and came back after 14 hours with blistered feet! But we are so happy Obama won and we don't have to move to Canada!

And now Wrath of the Lich King is out, and my new death knight keeps dying way too much, but she looks cool!

I will keep sifting, hitting that Top 15 of all times would be sweet! =) It just might take a bit longer, since I have to play WOW and work will be crazy busy from now to the end of the year. Oh well, I am ALIVE!

Oh, and thanks for embedding my avatar to the Sibelius monument, that was cool! =)

Ah, you too, honey bunny? I gots me a scrawny looking Death Knight as we speak.. I love it.

I've been playing the beta for about a week, Death Knights are way fun.

I still can't get over the fact that mounts are now available for all at level 30.
Wow, I remember level 40 had to get one. I am only at 39 as of 2005.
