Gnomes. Scary!You don’t think THAT is scary?!? A gnome with a night elf mask?!?! Maybe it’s an undead mask. Almost the same thing, I think. Scary nonetheless!

This week, World of Warcraft patched in the Hallow’s End stuff, which I guess is the politically correct name for Halloween. It’s one thing to offend the Fundamentalists, quite another to offend Satanists or pagans or whoever is sponsoring the mid-autumnal holiday known as Hallow-whatever.

And really, how much of a tightass do you have to be to get offended by Halloween? Ya. Exactly. But don’t get me started.

Where was I? Oh yes, the Hallow’s End stuff in Warcraft.

Wanted: Leeroy Jenkins And I had thought the internet was exhausted of Leeroy Jenkins links!

The judging has been completed for the World of Warcraft Wanted Poster contest. The five winning entries, plus some honorable mentions, can be seen here. Submissions included the usual suspects — murlocs and infamous Warcraft NPCs — as well as everyone’s nemeses: the ninja looter, the spawn stealer and the professional gold farmer.

New contests have been announced, Halloween-themed of course: Pumpkin carving and Halloween screenshots. Winners get a copy of WoW plus six-months game time added to the account of their choice.

If they’re looking for scary, I’ll tell you what’s scary: it’s almost the one-year anniversary for World of Warcraft and time to look back at how far we’ve come. Or haven’t.

It’s going to get LOUD.

Warcraft and The Godfather — another chapter in the timeless drama of the Warcraft forums. Guildleader and his girlfriend break up, guildmember (the post author) picks up the sloppy leftovers, stays in the guild without saying a word. (apparently all 3 attend the same school. wtf.) Months later, uber weapon drops, guildleader exacts his revenge, ala The Godfather, by booting the author (guildmember) before he can loot the weapon. Best Response Ever (#63): Tell it to your Livejournal. (#70) is a good reply, too.
