It’s not the 80,000 pieces and the roughly 17 days of build time that makes Blufiji’s fantasy LEGO diorama awesome, but the beautiful autumn scenery. Everything just flows with the trees and colors.

If Players Were In Charge Of World of Warcraft
by Gergo Vas
DsiderYou can watch the video if you're actually interested, but otherwise I just wanted to take this opportunity to make a (not totally serious) list of changes if *I* were in charge of WoW:
1. All Pandarens are killed effective immediately. This never happened. If it means the loss of the Monk class, so be it.
2. Gnomes and Goblins are now restricted to being only NPCs, but players can kill them without any negative repercussions.
3.*originally was talking shit about those new race/class combinations, but you know what, if we're losing those other two races in my changes then fine, keep your stupid fucking Tauren paladins.
4. Revamp tab-targeting combat to real-action combat a la Tera. Probably for the better that they don't also bring over the more absurd female armor from that game, though.
5. Where are those player tattoos you promised back in WotLK, dammit. In fact, make sure you bring in EVERYTHING you promised for WotLK, including the new dance emotes. And just bring back the dungeon and world PVP systems used back then, which even the video agrees was the best model for those.
6. Rewrite Sylvanas post-WotLK to not have suddenly lost all of her resolve and logic in exchange for that AWFUL Lois Griffin-sounding voice. In fact you know what, just remove it all, and I'll just pretend that after WotLK I married her and that was that. Bolvar Fordragon having the constitution to control the Scourge (despite being scorched half to death and tortured) becoming the new Lich King should be enough proof that he could provide direction for the Forsaken now that their primary objective has been fulfilled. Let the Forsaken leave Lordaeron and control Icecrown up in Northrend from now on.
Yes, I like the sound of all of this. I'm sorry you had to put up with all this rambling nonsense.
With the recent three million drop in subscription numbers, World of Warcraft forums are full of people thinking what could save the game from further decline. TheLazyPeon is one of them, and he compiled a list full of interesting ideas that’d fill the game with life again.

Truly hilarious video shows how Transformers ruins all movies
by Casey Chan on Sploid, shared by Meg Neal to Gizmodo
DsiderI interpreted that title very differently, but this works too.
I laughed out loud and rolled on the floor and laughed my butt off so much at this video that shows how Transformers ruins our favorite movies. Movies you’ve seen before carries along normally and then... BOOM a Transformer comes to destroy everyone in the scene. The editing of this video is perfect, it shows movies like Speed and Little Miss Sunshine and 50/50 among others.

KFC Puts Keyboards In Trays So Greasy Chicken Fingers Can Keep Texting
by Sean Buckley
Kentucky Fried Chicken in Germany just cooked up the weirdest fast-food techno-marketing stunt. For a week, restaurants lined their serving trays with disposable Bluetooth keyboards instead of paper liners. Not even joking.

To Make Anime Eyes More Terrifying, Add Avocados
by Brian Ashcraft
DsiderYeah I dunno either, sorry
I’ve never really thought about this. But, it seems if you Photoshop in avocados into anime characters’ eyes, the result is most unsettling.

The 10 Weirdest Things That People Once Used As Status Symbols
by Katharine Trendacosta on io9, shared by Tina Amini to Kotaku
DsiderThe best thing that I got out of this article was the title of Sugar Chancellor.
A visitor from 100 years ago would be confused by our selfies and our strange toys — but they would understand the need to show off. Throughout history, people have had status symbols. Sometimes, these things have been gold and jewels. But sometimes, they’re a bit weirder. Here are 10 bizarre status symbols from the past.

The End of Scott Pilgrim, For Now
by Evan Narcisse
Scott Pilgrim first got introduced to the world 11 years ago, in a series of graphic novels that had the slacker bassist fighting off his girlfriend’s evil exes. Then came a beloved cult movie
and retro-styled video game. Now, with a new color version of the final Scott Pilgrim book out in the world, it looks like the last time the character’s creator will touch Scott Pilgrim again.

Sega Removes Loads Of Mobile Games That No Longer Meet Its Standards

Fire Emblem If Introduces New Weapon Triangle System
by Sato
DsiderSee, now this is an interesting alternative to durability! Although... once again I see a disturbing lack of Light magic. :(
If this "Dark Weapon" is some other kinda weird thing, then maybe there's still a chance for Light to show up in the regular magic pool. I hope they create more interesting options for spells too, since in Awakening a good bulk of them were useless compared to a few super-broken ones.
Fire Emblem If adds an extra set of weapons to the mix.

A Map Showing The "Most Distinctive" Causes Of Death By State
by George Dvorsky
DsiderMaybe I shouldn't have shared this, or read it myself. Ugh.
For the most part, the things that kill Americans are fairly consistent from state to state. But as this new map by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention clearly shows, not all states are equal when it comes to certain risks.

DsiderHmm I guess they're recreating scenes from the game? Cool
DUUUUDEThis is my submission for greyallison ‘s Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time zine!! My theme was the Shadow Temple, so I really wanted to incorporate the Dead Hand somehow, since it always seemed so horrifyingly out of place in a Zelda game…

You’re a kid. You’ve seen Doraemon on television. It’s one of Japan’s most famous anime. And then, you get to see the live-action stage show, which is more horrifying than you can ever imagine.

Meet Orgrim Doomhammer, star of next year’s Warcraft movie.
by Mike Fahey
DsiderOkay, I'm actually impressed. I dunno anything about the writing, but at least I feel confident that they'll get the visuals right.
Meet Orgrim Doomhammer, star of next year’s Warcraft movie. Wired’s got a first look at the digital movie star, voiced by actor Robert Kazinsky and rendered by Industrial Light and Magic. What do you think? I’m not used to orcs having so much body hair, but I dig it.

If you’re into Attack on Titan and spending lots of money, these statues might be for you. But you’ll need more than deep pockets to buy one.

Konami could suck worse.
by Mike Fahey
Konami could suck worse. Sure, the future of the Silent Hill franchise is uncertain, its recent high-profile project canned . As Redditor Imbarkus and friends demonstrate with this nightmarish image, Konami’s increased focus on mobile could lead to the scariest Silent Hill yet.

Guillermo Del Toro Says Dead Video Games Have Left Him ‘Reeling’
by Evan Narcisse
DsiderThanks fuckbags
The man behind Pan’s Labyrinth and Pacific Rim has had two big-deal video game projects crumble into nothing all around him. He’s kind of doubtful about ever trying to make another one. Can you blame him?

Surprise: Nintendo just released a new Pushmo game. It’s called Stretchmo, and it’s on the 3DS eShop today. The first seven puzzles are free; you can buy the rest separately, or as a bundle for $10. (Pushmo, of course, is one of the 3DS’s best games. )

The People Who Still Play World of Warcraft Like It’s 2006
by Luke Winkie
DsiderThis article told me everything I needed to hear. I'm going to go silently sob somewhere now.
We met on Tuesdays and Thursdays on the muddy shores of Lakeshire. There were 40 of us, alternatives in tow, laughing, buffing, flaunting. We exorcised our pre-raid jitters as best we could. North of Lakeshire lay the sinister Burning Steppes, home of Blackrock Mountain and home of our hopes and dreams. Blackwing Lair lingered at the top of the spire, promising extraordinary treasure and server-first accolades. On our leader’s mark, we rode together. It was dangerous to go alone.

Troll Ruins Kickstarter Campaign After Withdrawing €7000 Pledge

DsiderI had just recently backed this one too, it was such a cool idea for a shmup. Fucking asshole.
2Awesome Studio, the team behind a Kickstarter campaign for the shooter Dimension Drive, just had their hearts put through the ringer.
