Ooo, want to buy! I hope these are at least 310% speed, which by the way I heard that you will pay 5k gold for a 310% speed mount in Cataclysm. Unless of course you already have one, you lucky bastard. Source is here. (Working on mine but no one wants to do Ulduar hard modes! I cry...)

And so, without further ado, here they are, those magnificent flying beasties:

I'm serious this time. One of our raiders' dead bodies glitched out on the Lich King fight. We roasted him:

Sega just recently released Yakuza 3, which allows players to become a former Yakuza boss who gets roped back into the Japanese mafia business in order to save his orphanage. Along with powering up with ramen and bento, Kazama Kiryu, the main protagonist, gets to beat up random thugs, battle the CIA and politicians, and...well, hang out in the red light district.

So what do the real Yakuza think? Jake Adelstein, a U.S. reporter who has connections with the Yakuza, managed to get three of them to play the game and give him feedback on how realistic it is.

It's pretty amusing, with some added commentary like, "Midoriyama gets very excited during the fighting sequences, standing up from the couch at points and actually lurching towards the screen. Kuroishi never loses his cool playing the game and keeps practicing combinations until he gets it right. Shirokawa curses under his breath, but whenever he wins he yells 'Yatta!'."

My revamped UI:

Ross recently asked me to draw him something awesome. (He wouldn't tell me the reason why until after I drew it, though.) So I did. Here it is: (Warning: screens will be compromised! It's large!)

I found this interesting article featured on Boing Boing that talks about what the earth would look like if it stopped spinning. Amazing stuff, and it really makes you think about how small the chances are that our world has evolved to what we see today.

Vol'jin is a badass mofo!

So I’ve been working on gearing up two characters recently. One is Ossyria, my Druid, who I am trying to get a complete Resto set for, and the other is my husband’s Paladin, who is working on a Holy set. Thanks to the Random Heroic queue, this process has been made easier despite long wait times as DPS.

However, from time to time, I run into situations that really frustrate me. Since my two characters are both DPS spec and working on an off spec gear set, I tend to ask first before rolling Need on Healer items. I know what a pain in the ass it is to be a healer or tank and have a DPS just roll away on some item you’ve been farming for.

Of course, politeness doesn’t extend to all players.

I'm experiencing Lost flashbacks as I go through this gallery of plane crashes over at Wired.com. Oh and, they put together a wiki on how to survive a plane crash. Apparently it's safer to be in the back of the plane than in the front. /waggles eyebrows @ Lost enthusiasts

Of course, New York's own Captain Chelsey “Sully” Sullenberger is featured, which is a story not only of great skill and levelheadedness, but also of human compassion. Remember the boats that went to help passengers and crew off of the plane? Of all of them, though, I thought this one was the craziest:
