The Argent Crusade ought to consider keeping a close eye on our submitter Carlos. For a holy paladin, he seems to be harboring an awful lot of evil-goat-demon inside his soul. Actually, Carlos writes that his frightening shadow was caused by some clever positioning behind a mountain goat in Howling Fjord. I wonder if Anakin Skywalker can make the same excuse?

There’s no consensus about the existence of an afterlife in WoW. From the number of ghostly undead in the game I’d wager there’s a good possibility that you just end up hanging around in a non-corporeal form, unless the Lich King gets to you first. Nevertheless, it looks like Beefywife of <Legion of Fire> on Antonidas is getting sucked into some form of post-death experience. Whether she’s being beamed up to heaven or sucked down to hell depends on your perspective. She writes that this picture was taken after she was knocked off her mount, fell to her death, and ended up stuck in the mountain beneath the Temple of Storms.

Hey, remember back in vanilla WoW when warlocks were the most powerful, feared, and complained-about-on-the-forums of all the classes? Synar of <High Solstice> on Stormrage does, and he’s ready to bring happy days back again by taking out the warlock’s main archrival class and gear competitor. However, his attack on the mage trainers at the Wizard’s Sanctum does not appear to have had the desired effect. “Sadly, his show of protest went unnoticed and the Mages went along with their business of staring blankly into their bookshelves,” he wrote.

Good news to all you Dual Wield Death Knight Diehards: Ghostcrawler recently popped up on the forums with a simple answer to your woes: “Next Major Patch.” Apparently, the next major patch (I’m guess it will be patch 3.2) will be seeing more tweaks to Death Knights, at the least to get dual wielding viable again. There’s no word on what form this tweaking will take, which is to be expected. Balancing Dual Wielding and Two handed weapons has always been a tricky to near-impossible for other classes, so the skeptical part of me still wonders if it’s possible. Of course, it could also be the two-handed weapon partisan in me speaking as well. Any basic solution such as creating a two-weapon strike seems like it could leave two-handed Death Knights out in the cold, at least for DPS. Still, we have that earlier mention of possible dual-wield dedicated tree, so who knows how extensively they’ll revamp whichever one they choose to allow dual wield optimization. We do already have some 3.2 feature announcements, though, so who knows, maybe class change information is up next. We’ll keep you posted.

Sometimes denial works for you, and I think that’s why I like this forum thread so much. It’s full of nostalgia for a simpler time, when PvP meant going to Southshore and murdering some Alliance, when the encounters in Molten Core were the most epic thing in the game, and speaking of epics, when seeing a player outfitted with all purples meant that they’d be raiding for weeks with 39 other people. This thread willingly looks back and wow goldsees things not as they were, but as we remember them: super fun, refreshing, and completely empty of the problems and quibbles we have to deal with today. Of course, Azeroth’s past wasn’t really like that. It was hell organizing 40 people to do one boss, much less a whole night of raiding, and if the organization didn’t get you, the server lag and disconnects would. Southshore and Crossroads PvP made for great stories, but in actuality, it was really just a zerg fest, and no one actually won, it was really just everyone throwing away their nights because there was nothing better to do. And epics — well, it was actually pretty cool when epic gear meant something. But boy was it disappointing when you went whole weeks of raiding without getting any loot at all, without even a Badge of Justice for your efforts. Or when

Kinka of Spinebreaker posts a question that I haven’t seen anyone ask for a while; does the Horde really have more faction pride? Various reasons are this feeling are offered, from the lack of a strong Alliance-side leader (with Varian Wrynn feeling like a shoehorned, and controversial claimant to that position), to the less unified Alliance leveling experience, to more philosophical assertions from Filara of Terenas concerning early Horde differences continuing to exercise an influence to this day. In classic WoW, Filara observes, the Horde population on each server was typically small and outgunned. People knew each other, could network easily, banded together againt superior Alliance numbers in world PvP, and — when battlegrounds became available — could typically get games significantly faster than their Alliance counterparts. Add the numbers up and it’s easy to see how faction difference became part of WoW’s conventional wisdom. What interests me more is how rarely we see this question come up nowadays. During and shortly after classic WoW, comparison of the two factions was both inevitable and the source of major fights on the forums. Despite being outnumbered on the vast majority of servers, Horde routinely encountered more battleground success — or so

The In Memory – Retribution Final Trailer is one hell of a piece of work. The author, Necka, says that he’s over 70% done with the actual movie, and that he and his production team are in the final stretch of completion. The script writer is Kirochi, who seems to have created a powerful story. The trailer hints at the movie’s epic action, including more than a few appearances from WoW’s biggest bad guys. The movie has been through a few bumps and bruises such as delayed start times, and having to work with scenes that existed before its current incarnation. Even with those challenges, this looks like the final production is totally going to be worth it. The subtitles can be a little tough to read, but the voices are clear and easily understood. The camera work in awesome, and I think Necka’s framed each scene in a way that really captures your attention and imagination. The YouTube video can take a little time to load, but is totally worth the wait.

Okay, I need help with this one. Waus from Trollbane sent Why you should never eat a brownie in to us. As the story goes, Waus was eating a brownie when he suffered from a collapsed lung. While in the hospital recuperating, he was inspired to create this machinima. I don’t know what to make of this video, so I’m curious what the legion of Moviewatchers think about it. The video’s short and fast-paced. Basically, an evil Draenei snags a dangerous brownie and tricks a Night Elf into eating it. The voice acting is subtitled, but I’m pretty sure the Japanese dialogue does not match up with the subtitles. Obviously, after the Night Elf eats the brownie, she suffers dire consequences. I feel almost ashamed to admit it, but the video made me laugh. It’s just so over the top that it got giggles from me. The Blood Elf voice was worth a chuckle, and the whole thing is just so absurd it hit my funny bone. The animation isn’t fancy, but I don’t think that was supposed to be the point anyway. So, I don’t know. It made me laugh, like I said, but what do you think of it? If you have any suggestions for WoW Moviewatch, you can mail them to us at machinima AT wowinsider DOT com.
