Sunday Morning Funnies: Moo for Hulkor
Although the holidays are beginning to simmer down, many people are still traveling, sleeping in, and otherwise busy with family or recreational activities. Check out this week's list of comics. It's short, but sweet! Donald for Algernon from Dark Legacy Comics. The title, and to some extent, the concept, are a reference to the Daniel Keyes novel, Flowers for Algernon. Experience Points offers up some wisdom at 80. You won't want to miss Flintlocke's holiday special. LFG needs somebody to lean on. NoObz is having a Crisis. On Teh Gladiators, it's a Family Affair. On The Scout Report, the Ogres have finally been paid. World of Warcraft, eh? released Eight Crazy Nights.
World of Warcraft Online Atlas - for the directionally challenged
Can't find your way back to Stormwind after a long starry trek across Azeorth? Are you still swimming circles in Booty Bay trying to find the Outlands? Looking for a new instance to hunt in because you are too lazy to read your quest log? If you answered yes to all three questions, then you need the World of Warcraft Online Atlas! Blizzard has decided to make World of Warcraft easier than ever before, (is that even possible? -- surely I jest), with this online flash-based interactive map atlas that shows various points of interests: towns, cities, dungeons and further details on level ranges and town accommodations. The map is well done, but a bit basic for my taste, I'm more of an old-school dead-tree atlas kind-of-guy myself. The music is a tad redundant, but you can shut it off. To be critical, one thing I'd love to see with an interactive map like this is the ability to calculate distance between points, the actual measurement from point a to point b. Normally the only way to gauge the actual size of a Virtual World is through a wacky formula and some serious trial and error, even then the results are never 100% correct. Something on that scale done by Blizzard would be quite magnific for armchair cartographers everywhere. It'd also be neat if the map showed spawn area densities and percentages on item drops per region including different tradeskill spawns, because I'm a data nerd, and well, I want that information official and it'd look all nice and snazzy on their interactive map. To give Blizzard some credit when it comes to in-game statistics, they already track a bunch of interesting data and share it on their Game Statistics page. Haha. The Voidwalker still takes the most dangerous creature crown! Eat it Felguard.
