Ya, These Things Frost Me Too

From the venerable Warcraft forums (“Questionable searchs for over two years”) comes a thread soliciting players’ game peeves, “In-Game Oddities That Raise Blood Pressures”. One of the thread author’s examples: “I get killed, I’m a ghost. A GHOST. Spirit form, without solid essence. Why, then, can I not walk through the simplest thing as a picket fence?” Clever, witty thread with many of the nuisances we’ve all endured in Azeroth. (Furl archive of thread)

Are you like me? Do you love the fake cancer operation internet people? I thought so. It’s not just that they are so starved for attention that they fake dire medical conditions, it’s also that they use such a tired, oft-exposed technique. If someday I did develop cancer or a serious heart condition, and, for some reason (that I cannot imagine right now) needed to notify my servermates, I’d say I had serious diabetes complications instead. More believable, could be just as deadly. At any rate, here’s another fake serious medical condition person with a miraculous recovery just in time to play Warcraft again: Thanks foe the HACK ( FROM TOP TO BOTTOM). Reply #13 summarizes the “patient’s” drama resume on the Norgannon server. (Archive of thread: Use Furl and/or Flickr screenshot)

Two Minor Requests

Dear World of Warcraft: Please update the PVP rankings some time soon. It’s been over a week and I’m tired of seeing my server’s Field Marshal douchebag at the top of the ladder every day. F him and his honor kill-middle camping buddies. Also, please cancel the gamecard for the new paladin in my guild. Claim it’s a glitch in the billing software that can’t be fixed for a few weeks or some other nonsense. If this isn’t possible, I’ll be forced to work my (patent pending) behind-the-scenes, puppet master magic to get that raid channel/strat spammer booted for guild malfeasance. I could be more direct in my approach, but I don’t like to get my hands dirty. I’m sure you can see why an unfortunate billing accident would be more convenient. Thanks. Sincerely, Foton.
