World Of Warcraft

Today's list of hotfixes is pretty short, but there are a few major issues that have been addressed. The Iron Maiden's health has been reduced by 25% on Raid Finder difficulty, which should reduce the length of the encounter. In addition, events in Ashran are no longer on individual timers -- events are now randomly selected at regular intervals.

If you were so inclined, you could argue that totems were counting down the hours until they got removed from the game as soon as Enhancement was made a viable spec in The Burning Crusade. I wouldn't make that argument myself, but it sure does sound convincing when you look at it the right way. Sort of sideways, maybe squint a little.

RNG is short for random number generator, and its the randomness when you do something like roll for loot, or even the randomness that determines whether a certain piece of loot even drops - whether loot is set to personal, or you're using master looter, there's always some randomness because a boss doesn't drop everything it could drop when you kill it.

"I can't do snow angels myself because of my knees ... I'd never be able to get up again. So I made -- er, I mean let -- my crocheted dolls do it for me."

Our anonymous submitter was so entranced by her new S.E.L.F.I.E. camera that she managed to miss this boss pull in Blackrock Foundry. Was it an innocent mistake caused by too much excitement at a new toy, or a passive-aggressive way to let an LFR group know how much disdain she has for them?

And then we call them "trash" and mow them down en route to the real boss. We are truly the monsters of Azeroth.

"While hanging around Warspear with his Garrison hearthstone on cooldown, Ziffo thought, 'Why not give my brand-spanking new Z.I.F.F.O. brand Wormhole Generator a shot?'" writes submitter Ziffo of Ziffo Dynamics on Wyrmrest Accord (US-H), who is apparently a big fan of self-promotional branding.
