Sunday Morning Funnies: Show us your tix!

It's Sunday morning and there are funnies to be had. From the beginning of manhood to alternative fuel sources, to pre-expansion doldrums, you should find something amusing in this week's lot.

Sunday Morning Funnies: Just a few Centaur feet

Another Sunday is passing, and with it, summer break. Soon, raids will pick back up, we'll see a return to relatively child-free hours on the servers, and the weather will start to cool off. Here are this week's funnies, to help you stay in a summery spirit.

Humor

Humor with a continuing plotline
  • This week, the characters of LFG attempt to pass through Customs.
  • On the Road to BlizzCon this week, the furry pair makes their way to Silvermoon City, with Sin'dorei Scheming, part 1.
  • Teh Gladiators is at a crossroads. Just not "the" Crossroads.

Sunday Morning Funnies: Majestic belly fat

This week we have a strong selection of humor, from BlizzCon jokes to hypnotic dancing. If you're not opposed to the disrobing of blood elves, night elves and male dwarves alike, then read on!

Sunday Morning Funnies: Fighting naked

This week we have a fair amount of humorous adventures, including an ill-timed leak, success in disguise, a handy brick, a clever wolf, and even some snakes.

Humorous Plot
Humor
  • NoObz has some insight on patch days, from the mobs' points of view.
  • This week's installment of The Adventures of Disgraph T. Dwarf almost didn't happen, and the announcement of the delay is worth reading itself. Fortunately, Episode 23: WoW TV arrived in time for Sunday Morning!

Sunday Morning Funnies: A new day

This week we are going to approach the Sunday Morning Funnies in a new format. Hopefully this will improve reader understanding of the purpose of posting the artwork. Voting will be removed. Please let me know what you think, as well as other changes you'd like to see!

Sunday Morning Funnies: Of edible size

This week we have a new comic up for scrutiny concerning Blizzcon, a comic depicting the humorous side of the Midsummer Fire Festival, and some pretty aggressive battle strategy.
  1. A new comic has sprung up about the adventures of two 'durids' attempting to get to Blizzcon. It makes use of a bit too much lol-speak for my tastes, but what do you guys think?
  2. The fellows of Dark Legacy Comics are going to require a Plan B if they hope to reclaim their place on the top of the hierarchy. Also, I am jealous of their murloc action figure.
  3. On LFG, the gnomes are coming to save the day! This episode actually stands well on its own.
  4. When stealth goes wrong. NoObz.
  5. Episode 21 of The Adventures of Disgraph T. Dwarf is A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Are you ready to vote?

Sunday Morning Funnies: On the flip side

The summer season is just starting to gear up, and it seems that if you are not checking out arena season four, you're planning a trip, hosting a barbecue, or otherwise outside enjoying the sunshine. It seems that your favorite webcomic artists are no different!

Though this week's selection is small, less choice should make for a tighter run. As always, feel free to suggest new comics in the comments section!
  1. From Awkward Zombie comes In a Blink, showcasing the perils of using blink as a primary form of travel.
  2. NoObz explores the art of questing and saving for gear and flight.
  3. Kissybear is still enjoying his new alliance toon.
  4. Teh Gladiators' battle continues with the ancient arena fighter.
  5. Someone tastes like chicken on LFG!
  6. It is time for Blanc to Meet Lance!
Are you ready to vote?

Sunday Morning Funnies: Root for ambition

This week we are cheating Death, building a new future, and harassing the opposite faction. What could be more entertaining? As always, feel free to post updates to your favorite comics, as well as new ones, so that they can be featured in this column!
  1. Ding! explores the nature of the warlock.
  2. Action Trip comics decided this week to Cheat Death.
  3. Fidget has a nasty experience after attempting to blink his way to safety.
  4. Richard is still missing, and the activities going on in his absence are not all that they seem on the surface.
  5. NoObz continues to explore some of the faulty MMO logic.
  6. Teh Gladiators struggle with their latest opponents.
  7. Disgraph finishes his orphan story.
  8. Check out Dark Legacy's latest!
Are you ready to vote? Head through the break and pick your favorite!

Sunday Morning Funnies: I'll tickle your soul

This week, we have things that suck, users and abusers, opportunists, resourcefulness, and even some creepy happiness. You know that when drawings get emotional, entertaining things happen. If you get bored, you can even read the handful of poor reviews last week's lot was given!
  1. The NPC rebellion still holds, and Dark Legacy Comics's characters must fend for themselves.
  2. Some people just don't like video games. Extra Life.
  3. Shakes and Fidget walk into a dangerous situation and Fidget tries some magery. You know him and magery.
  4. NoObz shows you how to subtly convert your friends to the Warcraft ways.
  5. Supermegatopia shows us daily quests from the other side of the fence.
  6. There are two great comics from Ding! this week. Have you ever wondered about some of those people who queue battlegrounds and then immediately leave? Are they all queue hoppers? Other people have been showing around their orphans. Some, have been using their orphans.
  7. Teh Gladiators are meeting up with some old foes, and Trevor seems unusually happy. You could almost say creepily so.
  8. Disgraph has given us part 2, part 3, and part 3.5 of the Orphan Saga! I'd watch the orphan, because he rocks. Also, it seems there may have been some errors last week when trying to read part one, which I sincerely recommend you do, as I laughed pretty hard.
  9. You should check out the latest LFG. As a side note, which is not necessarily showcased perfectly in this week's comic as much as some others, I've been reading this book. Sometimes I read, you see. At the recommendation of several friends, I picked up a Terry Pratchett book, The Colour of Magic. Now, to continue my ramble, I have always enjoyed LFG's warlock the most, as I'm sure others might agree. To my delight, there is a warlock of sorts in this book that seriously reminds me of this character. Not in any way, shape or form am I suggesting they are related, but if you like one, you should like the other. /ends tangent.
Vote for the best by passing through the break.

Sunday Morning Funnies: You are not an ostrich

From the training of a rat to a meeting of the altaholics, to a little bit of man lovin', this week's comics progress storylines, provide gaming commentary, and bring out the laughs.
  1. This week, The Scout Report teaches us a bit more about Ogre culture.
  2. On Teh Gladiators, Trevor tries to train his hunter pet, the valiant rat.
  3. Monkey Punchers goes all-out for the Man Love this week!
  4. This week's LFG was definitely hilarious. I won't even comment, so as not to spoil it.
  5. Shakes and Fidget are out for Rock 'n' Roll this week.
  6. Dark Legacy's NPCs are getting Stinking Rich.
  7. Okay so WoW isn't as customizable as the generic MMO featured in this week's NoObz, but I think we can all relate. Besides, Wrath is bringing us new hair!
  8. Ding! talks about altoholics.
  9. Quite probably my personal favorite this week, The Adventures of Disgraph T. Dwarf, Episode 14: Orphan Saga, Part 1.

Sunday Morning Funnies: Rouges in Azertoh

This week we have an NPC coup, a battle of the bands, two strikes, and of course, the much beloved mischief.
  1. In the Scout Report, #37, a new activist wanders onto the scene.
  2. From the Noob Comic comes Area Effect. Sometimes, a mage just can't help himself.
  3. Messy Cow has some adventures in Skinning, although she should have been healing. The best part? The "rouge" who was stealing corpses!
  4. Teh Gladiators battle their stealthed opponents, and the Murlocs heat up the scene. This week, the commentary beneath the comic is decidedly worth the read.
  5. Sockpuppet holds the "Azertoh Battle of the Bands." Yes, I said "Azertoh."
  6. Want to see a raid with the characters from Real Life?
  7. NoObz #9 brings you to a special mob-held meeting of sorts, where you get to meet the gray kangaroo (wolf).
  8. The old computer has finally broken him. A friend of Monkey Punchers is finally Losing It.
  9. In LFG this week, my favorite character breaks into a song and dance!
  10. Shakes and Fidget have made their Preparations, and with proper hilarity ensuing.
  11. This week on Dark Legacy Comics, the NPCs launch plans to take over the world, through Operation: Horace.
  12. From Action Trip comes Impressive Knowledge. Seriously, kids these days really know their stuff! Sure, they might lose a finger or a hand, but then they'll know which faction they're dealing with, right?
Pass through the break to vote for your favorite from this week's selection.

Sunday Morning Funnies: It's heating up

Although we are in an awkward period, with no new content to look forward to until Wrath of the Lich King lands, things are not as dull as one might think. With arena season 4 just around the corner, leaking expansion information, and the exploration and mastery of patch 2.4 content still underway, life in the World of Warcraft is still heating up.

To add to the entertainment, we have a new comic or two, as well as several with plots that are gearing up towards something great.
  1. Node from Dark Legacy Comics has fun with the new(ish) mini-maps.
  2. Just Walk Away... from Extra Life.
  3. The Map from Shakes and Fidget.
  4. I Would Guess from the folks at GU Comics.
  5. LFG #138. Puns bring the silly.
  6. Murphy's Law from Monkey Punchers.
  7. Ding! Hunters are smooth talkers.
  8. The first match from Teh Gladiators kicked off, with a surprising twist.
  9. If you didn't catch our recent highlight of The Scout Report, then you might not have caught yourself up on the storyline. Trust me though when I say that it is worth it! Although I recommend pawing back to the beginning of the archive, for the current storyline to make sense, you need only start here.
If you're ready to vote, head on through the break!

Sunday Morning Funnies: The holy grail

Whether your "holy grail" takes the form of your freedom, an end to loneliness, treasure, glorious achievement, or that coveted raid spot, you're sure to find entertainment this morning.
  1. Team Speak + Air Traffic Control = Bad from Action Trip. This one is pretty self-explanatory!
  2. Saved? from the Adventures of Blanc.
  3. You no take candle! from Dark Legacy Comics. Anything with that title you know just has to be awesome.
  4. A Deadly Plan from Shakes and Fidget.
  5. LFG #136. I have to say that I try each week to bring you a selection from LFG that can stand alone, so that even those who do not follow it dutifully can be entertained, or even motivated to check it out. As such, I'm proud of this entry; it's funny, and very noob-friendly.
  6. Ding! supports completionist ways. Sort of.
  7. Let's get introduced to Teh Gladiators. If you failed to read the intro, well then you fail. Carrying on for the rest of you, here's the first and second comic. Don't forget to read the commentary beneath! It's worth the extra three seconds of effort (seriously).
  8. From The Adventures of Messy Cow comes "Raid Life." Part one. Then, part two. Who recognizes this guy anyway?
  9. Intense Matchup from Action Trip. I just couldn't resist!
Press through to vote on your favorite!

WoW Rookie: Forming a Group


In the last two weeks we've discussed where to go for an instance and what to do once you get there. Since dungeon runs usually require five members, this week we'll talk about how to find people to go with you. Remember that the typical instance group is made up of a tank, a healer, and three DPS members. It's not always easy to find people that match those requirements.

Since there is a shortage of tanks, it's probably easiest for tank classes to find a group. That also means it's hardest if you are not a tank to find someone to play that role. The next most difficult is a healer. There's usually plenty of DPS to go around. It can take some time to make a group, but since dungeons provide excellent loot and good experience it's usually worthwhile to stick with it.

A message to those that ask me to group

Dear PUG Members,

Recently you've asked me to group with you. This is cool, and I appreciate being wanted. It gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling inside. The same warm and fuzzy feeling you get after you've killed a million boars and are holding the Sword of a Thousand Truths. However, if you don't mind, could we go over a few dos and don'ts?

Here's what you should do:
  • Do ask nicely if I have time to join your group.
  • Do look to see if I'm using the LFG tool. If I'm not, I probably don't want to group.
  • Do offer me at least 100 gold to run you through the Stockades. The two gold you're putting forth does not make up for the time it's going to take me to run you through.
  • Do talk in English or some other real language. I'll even accept Klingon. Leet speak is not a language.
  • Do ask if everyone is ready before MDing the boss to me.
  • Do use Omen or KTM.
  • Do use something more than auto-attack.
Here's what you should NOT do:
