For non-WoW folks: This video makes me really happy:



It's the first time the bullet train went into a certain part of Japan, and hundreds of people lined up along the route to cheer and wave flags and dress up and such. It's just so happy and positive and nice.

For WoW people, excuse me while I drool. A post on [livejournal.com profile] wow_fanart, Arthas and the Illegible Handwriting, lead me to this DA account: scourge-minion. Oh. My. God. What an artist! The armor and the coloring is so amazing! Look at this sketch!

Okay, actually going to click the post button now, I've spent the last half-hour or so looking at how she draws weapons and armor. And colors. And everything!

The artist's LJ is [livejournal.com profile] aziral. He/she is Russian, but I'm friending anyway for the spiffy cool art. :D

Edit: Ha! This picture made me laugh too much. :D :D Edit again: Be sure to go back through the LJ, there's lots of great art that isn't in the DA account, like this. And this -- I wish I could read it!

Lucky for you, I can translate! The first bunch of text is an ancient recipe for chocolate chip cookies, I can't reveal it to you in detail due to the 3rd law of translation though.

The first panel is Arthas gloating over ganking someone like 20 levels (and one expansion) lower then him. The second panel is a GM (off screen, near the top of the spire) warning Arthas not to continue his griefing ways. The third panel is him declaring that the GM has no idea what he has unleashed as Arthas "knows people on the inside". Final panel seems to be something along the lines of "...and that's how heroic class happened..."

So it's basically a cautionary tale I think...with chocolate chip cookies obviously.

Also, I had a great laugh at the Illegible Handwriting image!

Ha! You should translate things more often. And bake chocolate chip cookies.

I think Treue watches that person, because I have the knock-knock: Scourge! one posted up in my cube from a pic he showed me before. xD

I do love their style. Was going through their dA gallery... it's funny that they seem to have had the same reaction to the end of Wrath that we did.

Yay other Arthas fans! ~

Yes! I grinned when I saw their reaction to the end, too. I'm still poking through their personal LJ, so much good art!

I think you typo'd their LJ account though... right now it goes to a very pink page belonging to a girl in the United Kingdom who loves Linkin Park. I see no peektures. Not a one!

I glanced through that wrong LJ person. Not someone I'd want to read on a regular basis! *fixes link*

Aaaalso; I believe they were linking the Knock-Knock picture as something they found funny, 'cause the link actually goes to this person, with the rest of the comic it's from: http://madmaddie.deviantart.com/art/WoW-Single-Lady-214448750

lol comment spam.

I'd like Scourge-Minion's art better if half of it didn't involve Arthas and various members of the Scourge drooling over her self insertion Mary Sue angel character. /sigh

Ha, yes. I stopped reading most of the text and just focused on the details of the art -- the beautiful armor and coloring. I never did find the character sheet for her, but Nik told me what it said. I haven't stopped /facepalming yet.
