WoW jokes ftw!

If you have been living under a rock for the last few years, Azeroth is the place to be. World of Warcraft (WoW) is a phenomenom sweeping the face of the globe and one-by-one sucking in the world's nerdiest gamers into one epic fantastical orgy-like romp of fantasy and role-play. For an quick intro to World of Warcraft: Check out its Wiki page. Oh yeah, it even has its own Google.


Leeroy Jenkins:
Quite possibly the original World of Warcraft joke, which takes place in the Upper Black Rock Spire Dungeon (UBRS). Such "raids" in World of Warcraft require intricate team planning and carefully executed tactics to defeat sucessive rooms as the party moves toward th 'final boss'. Watch and enjoy as Leeroy defies his team members and 'pulls' an entire room of enemies. There is spectulation that the entire Leeroy Jenkins episode was constructed as a piss take to expose the sheer geekiness of high-level gaming in World of Warcraft.




The Internet Is For Porn:
Uhhh... yeah. Machinima WoW style. An interesting mix of song and character movement all constructed in-game, using the WoW engine.




FrostShock:
A humourous take on the Alliance vs. Horde paradigm that every WoW player faces. This sequence involves a Level 60 Paladin (an Alliance character who is a mix of healer and warrior) who has reached his full potential. The video involves a discussion about the crappy 'merits' of all his hard work. So, he considers a switch... to the dark side (where things are much cooler).




Personal disclaimer: I quit WoW a long time ago - before it took over my life. I am no geek, I just have a good memory. Quite possibly there are infinitely many more WoW funnies that have emerged since I quit, feel free to share them with the blog.


Happy viewing,
