WoW Funeral gets ganked

IN complete conjunction with my last episode. Here is an example of the prevailing conflicts of the MMOR+G.

My first reaction to this video was ... well i'm human.. of course it kinda pissed me off. I'm a realist. People are mocking the idea of this funeral as a bunch of "loser nerds who don't know how to go to a RL funeral." However, the dynamic of this game is that there is quite a bit of validation in the relationships you form here regardless of wether or not any RL contact exists.

The action taken by the "asshole guild" warrants the digust you will feel towards them after watching this. However, on the flip side, the reality of HUMANITY is that it is not a beautiful and respectful entity. Just turn on your local news. Assholes do prevail in this world... so no, i am not suprised at all to see such behavior. I feel sorry for both sides of the story.
Because there is NO real line between the RL and MMOs anymore. It's far too hard these days to draw a line between the game and reality since both are co-dependant... Because you can look at it both ways.
1) It's just a game. This is hilarious.
2) Real people and emotions are involved. This is sad.



Also check out this blog and read the comments posted. I found it pretty interesting.

HOT or NOT?


I got the [Vestments of the Shifting Sands] during an AQ20 run last Tuesday.
HOLY CRAP. they are hella hella sexy. i had to put my guild tabard and lavender shirt in the bank for this!
And the really awesome thing about it is, people look at me and think what i'm wearing is a joke. And then they check the stats! http://www.thottbot.com/?i=52609

Repost of the Ahn'Qiraj Opening Images

Yeah. i finally updated the Gallery with the Ahn' Qiraj Gate opening screenshots.

And just a reminder, it was quite a sight for me because on a PVP server, i have never ever ever seen that many horde and alliance together without one or the other dead.

it was truly amazing....quite like the story actually.

enjoy! i might go back and add descriptions later.
