Despite my WoW beginnings on the opening-day PvP server Magtheridon, I'm really enjoying my new life on the roleplaying haven of Moon Guard. And part of the fun is running into completely random RP events, like this Valentine's party observed in Stormwind by Farreby of <Oath Sworn> on Thorium Brotherhood. Sadly, Farreby knows no back story here -- he writes that he merely walked by and took a screenshot of the synchronized dance moves. But why were no gnomes or dwarves invited? Someone call the Committee for Equal Heights!

Fine, fine, orcas aren't actually whales. There's nothing out there that rhymes with orca, so I had to improvise. What are you, a marine biologist? Anyway, Wrath of the Lich King photoblogger Chaotique, of Perenolde's semi-infamous <Sleeper Cartel>, sent us a handful of irregularly-sized photos for Around Azeroth, including this shot of a struggling flying machine creating a smoke trail over a seemingly blissful marine mammal. With all the engineers and their polluting devices heading to Northrend, how long will it be before the air quality equals that of Los Angeles? But I suppose that in a world constantly being threatened by undead hordes and enormous red demons, pollution is the least dire threat.

This image came to us straight from the Wrath of the Lich King beta -- and we'd love to have your beta screenshots, too!

Namus of Korialstrasz is back with another cool Wrath of the Lich King beta shot, this time from the road into Zul'Drak. While meandering along the path, Namus ran into this hideous flesh titan, also known as Thrym <The Hope-Ender>. Namus described him as "the size of a Fel Reaver but as sneaky as a Devilsaur", words that can strike fear into any WoW player's heart. Apparently he has 630,000 HP, hits for 7K+ on plate, and is considered the hardest outdoor boss in beta. He also doesn't seem to fall for the old angsty "we belong dead" routine -- that glow by his right foot is the remains of Namus. Ick.

Dear God. The only thing more terrifying than the knowledge that Astarri has somehow repeatedly dragged a post-Burning Crusade group through the horrors of Molten Core to garner at least two pieces of the Felheart set is the possibility that she only did it to match the garish Sin'dorei scenery. The pimp hat does fit quite well, though one wonders what exactly the Orb of Summoning is for. Is this the beginning of Outland's first red light district?

It's been one week since we opened our most recent Caption This! contest to entries. We've allowed them to age to perfection over the weekend, and they're now ripe enough for you to pick the winner! Members of the WoW Insider staff have chosen their favorite captions from the bunch, and I've added in some of the highest-rated captions with the comment system. All in all, we ended up with a baker's dozen of quotes. Now you get to decide who goes home with a 60-day game card, a choice of one of seven World of Warcraft action figures as detailed in the original post, or nothing but a deep sense of inadequacy. Just pick the best caption for the above picture. Voting closes tomorrow, Wednesday, September 3, at 11:59 PM EST, and winners will be informed shortly afterward by e-mail.

Remember, entrants must be U.S. or non-Quebec Canadians at least 13 years old. If you'd like to peruse the contest's official rules, they can be found here. Happy voting!

Most Trees of Life seem at home in rural environments. Ashenvale, Mulgore, even Zul'Aman -- anywhere with grass, trees, and lots of people begging for Innervate. But Shadowchaser of <Guardians of the Flame> on Proudmoore seems to have evolved to fit into modern urban life. Just chillin' with a beer in the basement of Wildhammer Stronghold, wedged awkwardly into a chair, and waving as his drinking buddies show up. I suspect that anyone Shadowchaser Lifeblooms tonight is going to have a hangover the next morning.

Who knew that Blizzard was getting so strict about guild bank theft? They've even installed security devices. Moonaholic, a member of <Damage> on Anvilmar, has apparently been sucked dry by this rogue vampire guild bank. Luckily she's already undead, so all she'll have to do is find a tailor to stitch up the gaping holes in her neck.

It's never a good sign when there's only one person visible in a boss fight screenshot. It's an even worse sign when you can see a dead tank by the boss's head. Luckily, this is Nef, so there's a good explanation for the absence of players: all the melee DPS is hiding around his flanks, the ranged DPS is shooting at him from behind, and the healers are off somewhere plotting how to kill the rogues on the priest class call. So it's up to the undead warrior and his Thunderfury to hold the fort. (Thanks to Tora of Wen Tzu Enclave on Bloodscalp-EU, who notes that this was actually not a wipe.)

There hasn't been a lot of information put out about fishing in Wrath of the Lich King. According to El's Anglin', grand master fishing was just introduced in the last couple weeks, and beta testers are still figuring out exactly what's available in the waters. But there's one thing we know for sure -- whatever new tricks and trinkets Blizzard come up with, the path to 450 fishing will involve a lot of hours spent staring at the screen, waiting for a little bobber to go up and down in the water. El's Anglin' puts it at about 1,000 catches from 375-450, or approximately four to five hours. (This is why I never made it to 375.)

Beta testers may have just gotten the ability to fish, but it looks like the NPCs have been working on leveling their skill for a while. Tinuviel of <Soldiers of Fortune> on Antonidas, who writes the Steady Shot hunter blog, sat with some of the local Tuskarr while they reeled in their catches near one of the local turtle boats (which seems to also serve as a fishing vessel.) She then jumped in the water, electrocuting everyone with her shoulderpads.

Hey, amigos. You've only got fourteen and a half more hours to participate in this week's Caption This contest. To participate, leave a caption for the above picture on the original post by 11:59 PM EST tonight!

Remember to read the official rules for the contest here. The voting poll for the winner will be available Tuesday morning, just in time for our lovely maintenance period.

Halaa is like a set of jumper cables. Most of the time, you don't care whether it's there or not -- but when you suddenly need access to it, it's the most important thing you can possibly think of. Borings, from the Dark Iron server, was recently forced to take Halaa alone. While waiting for the final cap, he felt moved to climb up the city's flag pole and proclaim his victory. His voidwalker, Tanggrave, seems to be even more excited. Why is his voidwalker called Tanggrave? According to Borings, "he is after all a big blue grave full of tang." Ah, the joys of Blizzard's random demon name generator. At least it's better than Krakho or Nublok..

"Honey? Oh, don't get mad. Please. See, I'm getting on the zhevra. What? No! Well ... okay. Just one picture. And you have to promise it'll never leave your hands. Are you done now? Good, because I think I broke its pelvis. Can you get on Wowhead and look up veterinarians in Silvermoon City?"

(Thanks to Amradorn of <Foederati> on Aggramar for the pic!)
