    Each week, WoW Insider brings you a fresh look at reader-submitted UIs as well as Addon Spotlight, which focuses on the backbone of the WoW gameplay experience: the user interface. Everything from bags to bars, buttons to DPS meters and beyond -- your addons folder will never be the same. This week, since this is a family show, the "f" stands for "fudge." It is my goal, ambition, and hope that I can foster a positive attitude toward addons and the players who use them in this game. I pride myself on my optimistic and benevolent nature, putting out good vibes into the universe and keeping a happy attitude around me. Raiding is occasionally a trying time for me when my patience is worn thin, certain aspects of the game are not under my control, and there is a stabbing pain in my brain. But I keep my cool. Sometimes, however, people just have to GTFO. Coincidentally, that's where GTFO (the addon) comes in. As raiding addons go, this mod is held in high esteem by many players and raid leaders alike, as accountability has never been higher in the raiding game. DPS accountability is especially important these days. Hopefully we can help people out with spatial awareness, as well as the oldest, most timeless problem of all -- standing in fire.

    We here at WoW Insider are on a Daily Quest to bring you interesting, informative and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere. The Master's Call blog posts part 2 of a three part Newbie Raiding Guide series focusing on Talents, Strats and AddOns. Part 1 delved into Gearing Up For Raids. The Slow Wolf blog continues their creature feature series with an overview of the Hunter Boar pet including abilities and uses. The Auto-shots blog posted their UI which focuses on AddOns that provide critical information without taking up a lot of screen space. Rawrbitchrawr has posted their latest podcast. Topics include Ulduar lore and the storyline of Azeroth from the point of view of a 9-year-old player. That right there is worth the price of admission. The Alterac Volley blog has an overview of the Venture Bay PvP Dailies out of Grizzly Hills. Recommended for players around level 73 or 74. Submit a guide, post, podcast or resource for inclusion in TDQ, by using our tip line and we'll consider it for a future TDQ post.
