The Daily Grind: What's your favorite mob death animation?
Ladies and gentlemen, we gather here today to mourn the dearly departed. Mob #4,512 was in our lives but for a brief moment, but that time might as well have been endless. Through combat and conflict, we gazed into each other's soul and found a connection, a yearning, a wanting. Then Mob #4,512 kicked the bucket and we looted whatever we could off its corpse before rigor mortis set in. But Mob #4,512 won't just be remembered for what it did in life, but how it faced death -- and in which comical way it kicked the bucket. Who knew that dying involved so much staggering, flatulence and slapstick? Like Mob #4,512, we at Massively are sure that there's an enemy or two out there who has made an impression on you by the way it died. Perhaps it went down cursing and flailing, perhaps it burst into a thousand pieces, perhaps it ran in circles to the Benny Hill theme song. So what's your favorite mob death animation? Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!
