Around Azeroth: An edge over the competition
Let all hear the testimony of Thrym the Hope Ender! Thrym hear tell of great tournament in mountains. Thrym leave Zul'Drak, come to stadium in Icecrown. Thrym throw all foes into ocean. Thrym thinks he win tournament, go home with mountain of gold, live with many pretty draenei ladies with not much clothing. Then tournament leaders tell Thrym he fail drug test. It not Thrym's fault growth hormone in urine! Thrym not know what was in injections Drakuru give him. Why congressional committee pick on Thrym? (Thanks to Kavalry and the unknown hunter of Silvermoon-EU who pulled Thrym all the way to the tournament grounds.)Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder?

Around Azeroth: All the single ladies
Dawnia simply could not believe that Shayla had the gall to show up to the raid in that dress. First, that bottle-blonde piece of jailbait ran off with her husband, who apparently decided that a man of his stature in Silvermoon couldn't be seen with anyone more than a hundred and twenty years old. And now she was wearing one of Dawnia's own dresses to a social occasion? How dare she! Dawnia consoled herself that she would have the last laugh when her philandering husband gave the little tramp Corrupted Blood.

Around Azeroth: The dark phoenix
Dustfire of <In Vino Veritas> of Zuluhed is moving house in a few weeks, which is rarely a pleasant experience. (My own move-out in August featured three days of hundred-degree weather and a highly aggressive paper wasp that had not been evicted prior to our arrival on the new apartment's porch.) Her new phoenix mount, acquired by Dustfire and her guildmates after three (?!) Kael'thas kills, should help ease the transition. She notes in her blog post, "It trails love. And joy." And jealous onlookers who've been unlucky with the drop, I'd bet.Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder?

Around Azeroth: The bull by the horns
Thangal of <Black Label Disciples> on Eitrigg is all things to all people. Fiery hands and a snowflake aura, a halo and horns. Is Thangal a master of the art of multi-tasking? Is he the love child of a mage and a succubus? Or is he simply the beneficiary of a few extra talent points?Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder?

Around Azeroth: Obligatory weekend glitch screenshot
It's been a while since we had one of these, isn't it? Right? Right. Anyway, Veldugar of Hydraxis writes, "So my in-game graphics completely geeked yesterday and I spent a couple of hours flying around taking pics of all of the misplaced textures and just plain weirdness that happened. There are three things in this shot: me on my drake, the outline of the mountains and the sky. All of that craziness is what the entire sky ended up looking like in Icecrown. I have no idea where the tree branches came from since there aren't any trees in that zone."Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder?

Around Azeroth: This desert life
Gnome mage Fabbin and Thunderfury-wielding warrior Dinghy may have outleveled Tanaris thirty levels ago, but they have yet to figure out how to dress appropriately for a desert environment. Dinghy's plate gear is cooking him in his own juices -- heck, there are even flames coming from his shoulders -- and Fabbin is wearing both dark clothing and an uncomfortably warm fire spec. What should they be wearing? Well, we may have just found a use for the Polychromatic Visionwrap.Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder?

Around Azeroth: Fork of the people's anger
Arshley of <Thunderbrew Guard> on Steamwheedle Cartel is determined to anger Poseidon. The trident of fishermen wielded in aggression? The weapon of the water god in the sea of fire? For shame. Sacrifice a virgin so you may be redeemed.

Around Azeroth: Fear the reaper
Gwinydd of <Rose Thorns> on Bael'gun writes, "I died while doing the Gjalerbron quests in Howling Fjord, and saw the Sepulchral Overseer heading toward me as I found my corpse. The irony of an undead creature, whose job is to create new undead, bearing down on a dead undead was too much to pass up. Can a lich sense a person's soul hovering beyond the veil? Can their claws reach through and snatch the spirit as it attempts to re-enter the body, spinning it screaming into the void, leaving the physical form to be reanimated to perform the Lich King's will? A few days later, a priest friend and I went back to finish up the quests, and we took this bad boy down. Intense fight for two clothies. /flex."Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder?

Around Azeroth: Deliciously departed
I'm sorry that you had to find out like this, Mr. Wiggles, but sometimes we have to sacrifice for the greater good. I needed to take down some elites, and Mrs. Wiggles provided me with a vital 40 strength and 40 stamina boost. I know it's hard to see the mother of your children seared to a golden brown perfection and devoured by your owner. But don't worry, you'll see her again someday. Someday soon, actually, if my guild hits up Ulduar this week.

He beat us down the night before, but this time we were determined and ready. I'm not quite sure what the night elf (Bloodreaper) was looking at. We brought him down the first try that night.

Around Azeroth: Fear me
Ho there, travelers! Drop your weapons and reach for the sky! Yes, you ought to cower in fear, for I am an infamous highwayman. With my mighty glowing knives, bad-ass cracked-skull tabard, bandit-style mask and impractical mohawk, I present quite the intimidating figure. Hey! I said reach for the sky, not run toward the exit! I'll stab you in your kneecaps if you don't ... oh. Hey there, nice giant.

Around Azeroth: The lost and the damned
In EMS, we like to call people who ride motorcycles without helmets future organ donors. Unfortunately, most classes in WoW can't wear plate helms, and cloth makes for poor protection no matter how well enchanted it is. Noamsie of <True Justice> on Aggramar-EU has decided not to postpone the inevitable, and is riding her Mekgineer's Chopper straight off a cliff and into oblivion. You can't get to heaven on roller skates, but I guess a winged motorcycle can ride you right into the clouds.Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder?

Around Azeroth: Facepalm
Mom! Where's my favorite tabard? I want to wear it for screenshot day at school. What do you mean, it was in the rotting clothes pile? No, I didn't wear this yesterday. I wore my Knights of the Ebon Blade tabard yesterday. It does not smell! I smell! God! When I hit level 18 I am so getting out of this zone.

Around Azeroth: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
After losing his way inside Blood Furnace, Rastakan of <Ascendance> on The Forgotten Coast had no choice but to learn the ways of the natives and assimilate into their culture. Too bad that all the ugly red shirts in the world won't cover up his bright blue epidermis. He'll either need to teach the fel orcs an important lesson about not judging others by the color of their skin, or he'll have to spend a few days soaking in a vat of red Kool-Aid.Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder?

Around Azeroth: Come prepared to raid
The raid leader thought he was being clear when he told the DPS to bring enough consumables, but apparently he needed to clarify exactly what "consumables" meant. Lithos and his guildmates of <Premade> on Caelestrasz left all their flasks in the bank for their Ulduar raid, but they made sure to bring enough Dark Iron beer to bury any conveniently AFK punk rock gnomes.

Real fishermen get up at the crack of dawn, in the freezing cold and killer fog, just so they can go out and fail to catch anything and then get attacked by giant undead Vikings standing on the shore.

"Life is a hideous thing, and from the background behind what we know of it peer daemoniacal hints of truth which make it sometimes a thousandfold more hideous.
