Continuing … the 2005 that I want to remember for-flippin-ever, Five Favorite 2005 Gaming Screenshots:
1. February 2005 — The warrior protest on the Warcraft Argent Dawn server … hundreds of naked and partially-dressed gnomes marching on Ironforge. The horror. The horror. (full post)
2. March 2005 — World of Warcraft’s impending launch in China is eagerly anticipated … by Blizzard alone. (full post)
3. April 2005 — The drunk cat toucher in Warcraft’s Darkshore zone was my favorite public chatter of the year. His cat liked it! (full post)

4. June 2005 — My psychotic, cursing group member from Guild Wars. So young. So angry. Damn that rap music! (full post)
5. August 2005 — The Warcraft noob who was unsure if Humans could pick up the face-melting talents (aka Shadow spec) or if those talents were limited to Undead priests. He wasn’t joking. (full post)
