In my opinion, cracked.com is basically one of the most addictive websites out there. Worse than TVTropes and possibly worse than looking up old 80s cartoons on YouTube. As a Mr. Munroe once put it, “They could write a list of ’17 worst haircuts in the Ottoman Empire’ and I’d read through to the end, then click on all the links at the end.”
Anyways, I’m browsing the other day and they happen to have this article about World of Warcraft up there, so I was reading it and it wasn’t a particularly great article but it was mildly entertaining, and then I get to this picture:
And the first thing I think is, “How silly, the article is talking about mini-pets at this point and they show a picture of a hunter pet.”
And the second thing I think is, “That must be The Rake, since the hunter is in Mulgore and doesn’t appear to be a very high level.”
And then the third thing I think is, “…huh… actually… that looks pretty… familiar… is that… no… is it?”
I went on a searching spree on Aspect of the Hare. Scoured all my old screenshot posts. All my old “I rolled a new hunter” posts. I didn’t seem to be having any luck, though. Maybe it was just coincidence…
Then I went to my Photobucket:
A-ha. I knew it. I knew that wasn’t just any ol’ hunter and pet.
That’s Althalor. And Kolya. Yes, formerly the Rake.
You know, it’s funny. Screenshots of my hunters have been on WoW.com and I’ve been linked on all sorts of big-name sites, but nothing quite prepared me for having a (uncredited) spot on freakin’ Cracked.
It made my day.
i’d ask for royalties. 1c per pageview. do it.

Or at least for photo credit =)

I agree at least a photo credit would have been in order.

nvm on the archives… something strange with Chrome ;P
WoW will always be with you 🙂
Boy, and here I’ve always thought it was cool when a non-Wow-playing friend of mine leaves a comment on one of the screenshots I post on my Facebook page. (I don’t hide the fact that I play; and I have a fairly large WoW Screenshots album there for everyone’s viewing.)
And I’ll add my voice to those that say that a credit would have been nice. 🙂
And on a completely, utterly unrelated note, despite my previous promises to myself to never do it, I find myself seriously contemplating getting into Twitter. I’m not interesting enough for anyone to want to follow me on it (let’s all be honest), but there are several people, including you, m’lady, that I wouldn’t mind following myself.
It would certainly be easier than individually clicking all the “Follow me on Twitter” links on the blogs that I read… >.<
GZ! Is this like dinging on the internet? 😀
