Where in the WoW?

Where in WoW (02-15-08)

Zealotry is alive and well in World of Warcraft.

Now, for something completely different. I’ve been running my alts through the paces of the Love Fest in WoW because I really want to score one of those Truesilver Shafted Arrows. Annoying guildmates year-round is a priority of mine and those tiny Kwee PeddleFlapsalots are mighty annoying.

I’m not sure how many years they’ve run that Love is in the Air event, but I’ve been denied every year. By the looks of it so far, I’ll be denied again this year.

Warlock Looking for Head and a Producer

I’m thinking this guy is better live than in the studio, but nevertheless, an (almost) epic World of Warcraft thread about a warlock and his quest for the Zul’Aman Hex Shrunken Head: What would you do for a ZA run?

The setup:

you’ve probably guessed it. im a horde warlock, and im looking to go to Zul’Aman with a raid group. My guild is too small to go with. I will respec affliction and dps if i get the chance to go with anyone. And if it matters im only going for one drop, Hex shrunken head. The rest i won’t roll on, i don’t care about the other drops. If i get the head i won’t leave the raid either because i got what i wanted, i’ll finish it out. Please send me a message in game if we could arrange something. Thank you

ok i have resorted to paying for this shrunken head… give me a time and a price. send me a piece of mail in game, a message… whatever. im a pvp warlock and i have no way of getting this trinket myself, please help.

So … (I think) the guy gets an audition with a guild willing to take him into Zul’Aman and they invite him into their Ventrilo server.

U Wouldn’t Want to Touch That

The Male Gnome DanceWhile I was waiting for the cooldown on my World of Warcraft lunar festival invitation to the land of free portals, I was watching the various NPCs go through their dance routines and became curious about the male gnome dance origins.

The first Google result was this WoW page with downloadable files of the dance animations, 250×250 transparent or black, and 120×120 avatars — no Draenei or Blood Elf yet. I thought that was a nice little service … because I’m easily amused.

(The answer is MC Hammer’s “U Can’t Touch This”. Thanks WoWWiki, font of all World of Warcraft knowledge.)

By the way, if you’ve always wanted a Piccolo of the Flaming Fire to annoy your fellow players, the loot dropper Hearthsinger Forresten of Stratholme is easily soloable at level 70 by almost everyone. (The Wowhead comments provide good detail on finding his possible spawn spots.)

And don’t think because you’re a badass level 70 that you can pick off the trash at will in a careless manner because those huge gangs of undead can still take you down and send you to the graveyard outside, then you’ll have to slink back into Strath to pick up your body before your guild notices the corpse run of shame.

I’m guessing … cuz that never happened to me.
