Around Azeroth: What's the word, it's Thunderbird

Brewmaster Urdla of <Emporium> on Lothar-EU writes in to tell us of a strange series of events that recently befell her character. "First a near-fatal teleport mishap made her dark side shine through," Urdla wrote. "Then her Orb of the Sin'dorei added some more evil female grace by turning her into one of those arcane-addicted killer Barbies. Calling her phoenix hatchling, she enjoys the ever-flowing magma streams of Ironforge. What more can a dwarf gain from the dark side?"

Around Azeroth: The watching

Well, that's something. Looks like someone on Sylvanas-EU organized quite the event the other day. Hundreds of mammoth mounts lining the rooftops of Orgrimmar. Their dead eyes staring at me. Always staring. You know, I don't think I really need to visit the auction house today. There's something I need to do in, uh, Netherstorm. I'm just going to leave now. Oh, God, they can smell my fear! (Thanks to Scarfall of <Letalis> for the pic!)

Around Azeroth: We are going to be friends

Everyone needs a binky sometimes, even miniature Scourge leaders. We've been getting a lot of pictures featuring Blizzard's new pay-per-pets, including this submission from Loz of Terenas-EU. "Kel'Thuzad's reputation has had an effect on Lil K.T, and he's finding it hard to make friends," Loz writes. "I decided to make him a doll as he keeps freezing and killing all of the other animals he finds ... but I don't think the doll likes him either."

Around Azeroth: A switch in time

It's no surprise that I chose a picture of a dragon today -- my copy of Dragon Age is sitting on top of the television, enticing me with its siren song of Biowareness. Must ... resist ... Xbox ... until article is done! Anyway, Pathemavan of <Forsaken Descendants> on Malygos suffers from a distinct lack of the usual night elf overly high self-esteem. "From the day Blizzard announced the new paid race change feature, I was elated that my dream of having a gnome druid might finally come to pass," he writes. "Needless to say, I was quite upset to see that Blizzard didn't share my love for the potential of cub, meerkat, and shrub-form druids walking around, since they wouldn't allow me to make my druid into a gnome. Left with no other alternatives, I decided to bypass the GMs entirely and petitioned Ysera the Dreamer for a race change. She (being a huge fan of gnomes herself) was more than happy to oblige."

Around Azeroth: A day in the unlife

Omniscieth of <Excrucio> on Thaurissan sent in this pic of herself and her pal Nevergotahug chilling in post-raid bliss at the Dalaran blacksmith's, "After a long night's raid in Trial of the Grand Crusader with Northrend Beasts downed, what better way to relax those bones and skin (whatever's left) than in a nice lava hot tub?" she writes. "Even little Ruptip decided he would have a dip to soothe that aching hand of his."

Around Azeroth: Dia de los dangerous

After downing Kel'Thuzad on the Day of the Dead, Lichblade of Bladefist-EU saw a job opening in the Scourge Lieutenant department and applied. His new desk chair is a little big, and having to wear that skull mask all the time is hell on his hairstyle, but he figures that all jobs have their downsides.

Around Azeroth: The lions, the witch and the poor choice of wardrobe

This is the last Halloween pic for a year or so, I promise. Submitter Aaron snapped this shot of his character flying around in what appears to be Allerian Stronghold in Terokkar Forest. Sadly, he's disregarded one of the most important rules of Halloween safety: never put a hat on a cat. His shredded corpse was found hanging in the trees west of the Bone Wastes.

Around Azeroth: Always safety first

Ah, Halloween! The spookiest night of the year! When young children dress up as ghouls and goblins and are encouraged to go beg for candy from strangers, and adults dress up as all manner of horrifying things and beg for their car keys back after drinking ten Jagerbombs at a party. This screenshot of Frederrick on Jubei'Thos shows the natural consequence of the latter action. "Apparently, he got his dates mixed up, thought it was Brewfest instead of Hallow's End, and ended up passing out in an apple barrel somewhere over in Shadowmoon Valley," writes submitter Dylan. "Luckily, a passing shaman threw him a Water Breathing, so his items weren't damaged as much as his pride."

Around Azeroth: Get me to the church on time

After guildmates Limaan and Miszy of <Low Landers> on Stormrage-EU got married out in that nebulous meat space known as the real world, their in-game friends decided to throw them a virtual wedding in Azeroth. The best part of WoW weddings? They can be as opulent as you want and no one has to pay for it. In this photo, snapped by Minae, the happy couple heads for their honeymoon on their "Just Married" motorcycle. The most startling thing about this photo is the blood elf in the background who is not attempting to ruin everything. Cross-faction cooperation for a special event? Who would have thought?

Around Azeroth: When dragons cry

Dig, if you will, the picture of Scomparsa of Earthen Ring engaged in a quest. Our orcish submitter took this screenshot of an aptly placed Emerald Dragon Tear under the eye of a skeletal wyrm in Dragonblight's Emerald Dragonshrine. The heartless Scomparsa plucked the tear and left the dragon's corpse in the grove. How can he just leave it standing alone in a zone that's so cold?

Around Azeroth: Like red but not quite

Sometimes it takes a new character to rekindle your passion for the game. Daryi of Ghostlands has recently started working on a little priest to complement her hunter main, and she's been noticing the beauty of the lower level scenery. "On the ferry from Darkshore to Teldrassil, I noticed the overabundance of pink, and the screenshot was born. I'm sure anyone watching me thought I was insane, as I stayed on the boat for five trips there and back to get the best image I could."

Around Azeroth: Freaks of nature

Why did Tuelmorn of Lothar-EU try to play God? He should have listened when the Aldor condemned his unholy experiments in druidic genetic engineering and blacklisted him from respectable Draenei society. Now there would be no one to save him from the attacks of his twisted cross-breeding experiment, the half-feral, half-balance, all-evil moonbearkin. See what damage dual specs have wrought?

Around Azeroth: Not even to see what happens

Kàvic of <Kinsmen> on Moon Guard writes, "I was running a friend through Gnomeregan, the most dreaded instance in Azeroth ever, when I spotted a shiny red button in ... *dramatic music* ...The Final Chamber! Being the curious druid I am I just had to press it. What would happen? An army of gnomes dropping nukes over Azeroth? Would it finally make Gnomeregan a real Alliance city? Well, seeing as the boss was one-shotted, nothing happened. I got to press the button anyway, though."

Around Azeroth: Elementary physics

Hyacintha of <That Takes Effort> on Terenas writes in, "I snapped this shot yesterday outside the bank in Stormwind. It appears height does have its disadvantages: this hapless Night Elf spent several frustrated moments trying to get in the door before giving up and hearthing to a more accommodating location. Poor guy -- I was too busy taking pictures of his plight to kindly suggest that he click off the buff!"

Around Azeroth: Space oddity

Karalynn of <Shakedown Mafia> on Stonemaul appears to be the first night elf on Mars. But where is her flag? Where is her spaceship? Where are the spiders? At least she's dressed appropriately for such a grand occasion, even if her shoulderpads are made of straw.
