Just plain funny. Posted from
Jawa: A little nerd stuff for everyone. I do not play nor do I own World of Warcraft. Stopped at Warcraft 2, so I'm hip to the series.
Anyway, some well-known W.o.W. player died (in real life), and a bunch of game administrators thought it would be a nice idea to let his playing buddies come to a "memorial service" within the game to pay their respects. They took the player's character to a lake and set up a memorial service.
A 'guild' of W.o.W. players (a group that plays the game together regularly) came up with the brilliant idea of ambushing and slaughtering everyone's characters as they stood unsuspecting at this memorial service.
It may be a little confusing (or boring) if you don't know the game, but I just couldn't stop from giggling in a few places. I know its terrible, but the whole idea of some group of individuals deciding to film and upload a virtual ambush on a funeral procession in a virtual fantasy world involving real people who spend inordinate amounts of time there just kept repeatedly striking me a hilarious.
The W.o.W. equivalent of the Westboro Baptist Church. With sorcery and a slew of acquired skills. The video of the ambush doesn't' start until after the shots of player hatemail at about 2:10.
Inspired by: Ace, whose love of nerdom I share enthusiastically.
