During our conversation, I considered it... but ended up saying "Hm, you've probably already been rickrolled countless times, yeah?"
He responds:
"You've heard?"
"I may or may not have heard..."
"Well, then you do know that the bird is the word."
":D"
":P"
Hehe... then I ask my GM to show himself, as I've never seen one in the 5 years-ish of playing... He goes away for a moment, then comes back and said he got permission! So I'm giddy in Ironforge waiting... he pops up next to me... A cute little Gnome GM! This link may or may not work, but I'm at work and only uploaded one pic: http://pic.gd/8ebdfe
So yeah. I got to see a GM My two friends next to me couldn't see him. I also made the mistake of not inspecting him Just looked like a level 1 Gnome Mage, but he was 80
It's a common courtesy... Avoid any unwanted attention. I initially tweeted the pic, so there's more people there that I don't care to share my friend's in-game names with. Had this been the first place I posted a pic, I may or may not have.
Do you really need to give him shit over the littlest of things that don't even fucking matter?
Whoo, I love being back on WoW. Got half my hallow's end achievements and just downed Koralon, which I've never seen before.
I'm still working on getting the Sinister Squashling, the toothpick, and a bat transformation and I'll be done with Hallow's End. Of course, I'd also like the horseman's mount.
I actually just went to VoA last night for the first time since May. I got the achievements for both Koralon and Emalon, which felt good. I also snagged two pieces of mage PVP gear out of there, although when I took them into some battlegrounds for the G.N.E.R.D. Rage achievement it was clear that they don't make me any better at PVP.
I've decided screw the holiday stuff on my dk, which is the closest one to being done but has since fallen to the wayside in favor of my rogue. Unfortunately that means i have to go through that childrens week bullshit on my rogue again. Oh well heres hoping they make the holiday achievements accountide by then and I won't have to do it. Or better yet get rid of school of hard knocks.
Also I hate that I'm now forced to post from my iPhone at work. Stupid work filters updating to block this site and this site alone.

"Websense category "games" is filtered" I bet.
They used to do that here until they finally realized we're a Casino and filtering "games" blocks pretty much every Casino themed website...

Well the thing is, Websense's database is centralized, and typically universal for all companies that use it. Our company has it, and exceptions are only added by your Network/Internet Admin. Perhaps you've been spending too much time on PA Forums, someone noticed, and someone added it to the filters.
The internet, the wow forums, and even the wow info pages are completely contradictory
Some say that's been gone since pre-TBC, others say just the tooltip was removed but the effect remains
The int skill bonus was officially removed pre-BC according to patch notes, but there's pretty much incontrovertible test evidence that it's still in. It's not working as intended, since patch notes said it was out, but blizzard obviously doesn't care, because it hasn't been fixed in two expansions.
I can 100% confirm that int still affects weapon skillups. My ret pally happens to have a lot of decent holy gear so after 32 minutes of trying to get my 2H axe skill from 335 to 400, I suddenly remembered that int used to be a factor.
So after switching to my holy gear and gaining something like 800 int, it took me 12 min and 55 seconds to go from 0 1H mace skill to 400 and ~18 minutes to go from 0 polearm to 400. On average it was around 3 minutes to get from 399 to 400. Needless to say, I got all my skills on both my priest and paladin at 400... because of my OCD... it flares up real bad sometimes.

Purely coincidental. INT does nothing for skill-ups
Basically there's a script command to get the quest id's of the quests you have completed. I'm sure a new or existing mod will be able to create a "to-do" list by comparing this to a list of known quest id's.

Yeah it was an exception, they've started using their own filtering program, filtered out games, streaming media blah blah blah, and this one is labeled as "Newsgroups/Forums"
I kinda want to tell them that ya know, I'm less productive now than I was when it wasn't blocked you meatheads, because while I was on it a lot I was still getting my work done, just browsing internet to alleviate my tedium. Now I gotta surf on my iPhone which takes more time/attention." But that would get me in more trouble methinks.

So it turns out you can get credit for the Helm if you trade it, and relog. The catch is though, that if you log off again and you don't have the helm in your inventory and you HAVEN'T received the Sinister Calling achievement, you lose credit for having the helm.
I had credit for the helm after a guildie traded it with me, and I went for a run and didn't get back in time to beat the AFK log off. Oh well.
I am getting kind of nervous though, this is the last fucking achievement I need (well toothpick too) and I'm going away on vacation with the family on Friday :S

I'm in Ironforge, trying to fly to Menethil... except that the flight path map has nothing to click on. Just lines to the flight paths I can fly to, but no icons to click.
But just on this character. Works on other characters.
Well, I'm 1 Toothpick and 1 Sinister Squashling away from getting my Mount.
Unfortunately, the last 2 days have seen nothing but utter shit drop from the Horseman. 14 attempts, 1 Broom, 1 Squashling and that's it besides stupid rings.
Oh noes, my account haes b3en stoled. Some days ago, I read my email in the morning and saw my WoW password had been changed at 3 AM, and my account was frozen for illegal activity at about 4:30 AM. I appealed it and I think I was finally reimbursed today, but I'm scared to log in, in case I have some trojan keylogger or something.
I consider myself a relatively smart and informed gamer, so I have no idea how chinafarmers got my password. I've never been tricked into "signing in" to a phishing site, I'm surely not stupid enough to tell anyone in-game what my password is... I've never shared it with anyone, IRL or in-game. I have an up to date antivirus and run spyware checks occasionally. I don't visit shady websites, etc.
Anyway, anyone else have their account broken into, and have any idea how the bad guys got their password? Addons have no way of doing that, right? Their scripts aren't even read until you're in the game, right? I did download Magelo at one point, and it made me very nervous to have something running in the background while I was logging in to the game... but I scoured the internet about it and virus scanned the thing and it seems like a legit program no one has complained about... no suspicions of keylogging...
I wonder what % of gold sold by gold "farmers" is farmed gold, and what % is stolen...

I talked to Greg Street at the hotel right next to the convention. I personally asked him if they plan on removing weapon skill and he said that they will in cataclysm. I have not failed you forumers.

MMO Champion will tell you what I speak of. Spoilers and such.
I have been tricked every time i have tricked or treated.
it is a good thing i like running around as a LITTLE KITTY!
That or it somehow siphons them from Frostmourne, maybe.
Websense? What's the reason given?
I like getting tricked and turned into a mini Diablo, because then I bring out my NPC mini-Diablo pet and I run around in circles.
I wish that one lasted longer than a minute because it would be fun to say that I'm "dressed up as Diablo 2 for Hallow's End".

I see what you did there

Basically there's a script command to get the quest id's of the quests you have completed. I'm sure a new or existing mod will be able to create a "to-do" list by comparing this to a list of known quest id's.
The best I can come up with is that it tries to filter out double achievements from being in the vicinity of a guildie, but can fail.
Yes, you would've seen double achievement messages for being there and being in the guild.
Since the chat is only showing the guild chat announcement, it was almost certainly a guild member NOT in the raid working on achievements.
However, it is a very funny, and perhaps uber rare spot for an achievement spam to pop up.
It's definitely worth 2 1/2 LOLs.
It doesn't show the local achievement spam for anybody outside of about 20-30 yards, so you'll only get double if they're within that range.
Yeah it was an exception, they've started using their own filtering program, filtered out games, streaming media blah blah blah, and this one is labeled as "Newsgroups/Forums"
