Intel and YouTube are sponsoring a video contest of the funniest moments in World of Warcraft. Submissions are accepted beginning March 1, 2007 through March 21, 2007; voting takes place April 1, 2007 through April 15, 2007; and the winner will be announced on April 26th. The winner will receive “… an unbelievable gaming rig powered by the new Intel® Coreâ„¢2 Extreme quad-core processor.” (Link to contest page)

Nice production values on the Intel teaser vid, UNFORTUNATELY, his name is spelled Nefarian, not Nefarion.

Common noob mistake, mrmintel, don’t beat yourself up over it.

(UPDATE: The embedded player may not appear at times thanks to the 8 million WoW locusts chewing up YouTube resources. The contest trailer can always be viewed on the contest page linked above.)

This World of Warcraft thread got off to a great start, thanks to a quick-witted response by Tearing, level 9 posting-alt of the Firetree realm: Extreme misogyny in wow.

Anaksunamoun, level 5 shaman of the Cho’gall realm, wrote:

im a level 45 rogue and i have experienced more than 5 times in less than 4 mos of playing extreme misogyny and typecasting of female players. apparently there arent a lot of female rogues since “girls are usually mages or shamans”

(Emphasis mine.)

Reply #1, by Tearing:

move along, this is not an attention seeking thread, which would coincidentally fit right into any stereotypes

Harassment I can believe. Misogyny, not so much.
