Around Azeroth: Original buttery flavor
With rumors of an oncoming cataclysm spreading through the cities of Azeroth, many residents have begun making plans for whatever may come. Valhalla of Spirestone has used his powers of light to create a waterproof, earthquake-proof, magic-proof crystal bomb shelter. He'll be able to survive any catastrophe, as long as he remembers to create some air holes. And the inside is made of delicious buttered popcorn-flavor rock candy! Actually ... not delicious.

Around Azeroth: Baby I wanna be first in line
Today on Alliance Gloating Theater, Julietmarie of <Molten Core Swim Team> on Velen is determined to be first in line at the Greymane Wall to welcome the Worgen into her faction. "Soon, new allies will come forth through that gate and the glory of the Alliance will grow even further, finally gaining that symbol of power that strikes fear into the heart of those who dare oppose us," she writes. "Kudos, Blizzard, for giving us what are essentially werewolves while the Horde get what are essentially very short trolls. Lorewise, both factions gain valuable allies. But aesthetically, Alliance wins hands down. Soon ... soon." Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder?

Around Azeroth: Death to Murky
No, I'm not at all bitter about having to work in the sweltering Southern heat while everyone else parties it up at BlizzCon, meeting Felicia Day and doing tequila shots off the small of a mermaid's back or whatever. Why would you ask? (Thanks to Rimmii of Wyrmrest Accord for this shot of a beached and deceased Murloc -- I can only hope it's former BlizzCon mascot Murky -- in Darkshore.)Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder?

Around Azeroth: Princess toadstool
Magic mushrooms might be illegal in Amsterdam these days, but Taurion of <DutchInc> on Turalyon-EU can still appreciate a good spore. Taurion snapped this shot of the suspiciously freshman-dorm-like area around optional boss Amanitar in Ahn'Kahet. Hey, Manny, I heard multicolored light strings are on sale for five bucks at Spencer Gifts these days.

Around Azeroth: Trophy kill
Pugnus of <The Accused> on Farstriders figures that if you don't take pictures on your vacations, it's like you weren't really there. The world's largest ball of cheese, the Museum of Questionable Engineering Devices, and that little place in Storm Peaks where Betty killed the proto-drake and all her eggs.

Around Azeroth: Hot! Hot! Hot!
Draenei hunter Mordheim of <Enter Guild Name Here> on Proudmoore decided to shoot for the sun, but he lacked a long-term strategy for after he caught it. Where can one dispose of a sun in the sands of Tanaris? The dump won't take any hazardous materials, and those Gadgetzan guards seem to consider littering punishable by the death penalty. That leaves only the ocean, and as anyone who's tried to rescue OOX-17/TN knows, it's a long way from one end of the desert to the other.Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder?

Around Azeroth: Gentrification
The real estate agent assured Carlosol of <Boogie Knights> on Aggramar-EU that his purchase was sound. "Sure, it used to be part of a bad neighborhood," she said. "But some wandering adventurers came by and cleared out all those nasty prison escapees. Just fix up the inside, and presto, you've got yourself a reasonably-priced condo right in downtown Stormwind!" Looking back, he reflected that he might have wanted to press a little more on her "just fix up the inside" comment. He hadn't expected that the previous owners would leave all of their bloodstained furniture behind. Still, the torture rack would make an excellent dinner table with enough varnish.Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder?

Around Azeroth: The frozen tuchus
Dear Diary: I've now been stranded on this ice floe for ten godforsaken days. My tail feathers are so iced over that they crack into pieces whenever I try to move. The hunger is worse today; I think all of the penguins that were dumb enough to come over and "look at the fire" have become my dinner, and the ones that are left are too smart to get within my reach. They stay an arm's length away, taunting me with their freshly caught fish. Curse that survival of the fittest! My hopes that the Kalu'aks will come searching for their crashed ferry and rescue me are wearing thin. I fear that unless the zeppelin crew spots me today, this may be my last journal entry. -- Serthida of <Elder Tribunal> on Bloodhoof.

Around Azeroth: Dwarfenstein 3D
Chleo from Alexstrasza-US is clearly using Aimbot! That would be the only explanation for this FPS-style shot of Stoutlager Inn, though one has to wonder what exactly she's WASD-ing at. Maybe she's after Nazis. Or zombies. Or Nazi zombies. Or zombie Nazis (there is a difference).I wonder if she could be convinced to change her character name to Blaskowitz.

Around Azeroth: Me and my shadow
Some things should be taken literally. Some things should not. Arinod of the <Armored Bear Cavalry> on Kargath US seems to have discovered one of those things that should not. Avinrod, the dashing fellow in the foreground, woke up one day to find the slightly-less-dashing fellow in the background following him around. No matter how many people tell the poor guy that's not what Shadow Priest means... well. Shadows can't hear, apparently.

Around Azeroth: Violence begets violence. Awesomely.
Today's image (and caption) comes from Manbearpig from the guild Clandestine Circle, on the Garona-US realm. He says, "After growing up a poor bullied cub in Teldrassil, Manbearpig wasn't just going to stand by and watch these Frenzyheart keep the poor Oracle Orphan from his shinies any more! Rawr! Volunteering his time, Manbearpig hopes to teach this young Oracle that to deal with bullies you have to stand up for yourself. Tell them "No! Stop it!" in a loud voice. Then walk away, or run if you have to. If all else fails, then Mangle (Rank 5)!"Personally, I'd start with the whole Mangle thing a lot sooner than that.

Around Azeroth: The Two Towers
Submitter Beastotem of the guild Arise on Spinebreaker-EU sends us this photograph, freshly snapped from the back of his flying mount. When I saw it, I have to say, I was filled with a sense of foreboding doom. That's right, everyone, brace yourselves. The Two Towers are back. It looks like Sauron decided that the big flaming eye on the spire was so last year, but Saruman, strangely enough, seems to have decided to redecorate Orthanc in neon greens and blues. I think that whole "Saruman of Many Colors" shtick is going to his head.Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder?

Around Azeroth: The secret life of pastries
Oh my. This screenshot, from Brackenhawk of Frostmane-EU, somehow manages to look vaguely obscene while having no living creatures in it at all.

Stabin of <The Last to Fall> on Thorium Brotherhood unfortunately turned into 'that girl' at her friend's RP wedding. You know the one.

Around Azeroth: In loving memory
This screenshot might not be much to look at, but the story behind it is so heart-meltingly touching I had to post it. Our anonymous submitter from Cenarion Circle writes, "As a cat of mine I had for 11 years passed away suddenly, I wanted to remember her in game through a vanity pet. Well, the closest match was a Black Tabby Cat that drops off of Dalaran mages in Silverpine Forest. My toon being Alliance, the only way to get it was through the AH, but the prices were way too expensive for me to get. So I sent a "Talk to a GM ticket" to see if there were any other mobs that drop the cat. After talking to a GM, he stepped out for a minute then asks me to log off a sec.""After doing so I found a Black Tabby Cat in my mailbox. The mail I got said that "Since you have been such a loyal customer and have not requested anything of us in the past we have decided to provide you with the requested item at this time. " The letter even had a special message at the front that read " Item Restoration (In Memory of [My Cat])". Here' s the pic of my now immortalized (at least till the servers are shut off in the year 3000 by Bender himself) cat in game."

Around Azeroth: Message of love
"Since the mass exodus of brave adventurers from the ever-curious Outland to the arctic climates of Northrend, the Sha'tari Skyguard has had recruitment problems for their Skettis offensives," writes submitter Rioriel of <Assurance> on The Sha'tar-EU. "With the proposed lifting of flying restrictions over Wintergrasp, the faction decided to practice synchronized Skyguard Drape-opening and landing in formation. Choosing the open plains of Howling Fjord proved to be their shortcoming as a wandering Storm Giant picked off the falling Alliance and Horde members. But by a massive stroke of luck..."Actually, Rioriel and his fifty-six accomplices coordinated this cross-faction massacre/narcolepsy attack over Ventrilo. Why did they do it? Why not?

Yuuzhan of Kul Tiras captured this picture the Dark Lady as she waits to retake the Undercity from her disloyal lieutenant.

Around Azeroth: Abbey road
The next time you get camped for two hours by a player thirty levels above your own, remember that all of the total jerk players out there in Azeroth were once clueless level ones, falling off of Teldrassil, getting murdered by boars, and clicking repeatedly on the "attack" button as if this were Diablo. Erdeth of Nagrand has decided that the best way to avoid future problems with her Alliance opponents is to kill all the level one humans as they spawn, while they're still weak and confused. To this end, she's launching a full-scale assault from the hills above Northshire Abbey. Sure, the humans will soon learn not to click on the terrifying armored lady standing in front of the spawn point, but she'll probably be able to thin the population of its stupidest members.
