Lumio takes a look at "mudflation" in our latest comic. Not bad for a level 7 item. In other funny (funny as in peculiar this time) news, our #10 most visited page yesterday was for the World of Warcraft 2.1.3 patch. This is strange because the 2.2 patch was the one released yesterday. Let nostalgia reign!

Halo fans I haven't forgotten about you, up all night in a whimsical world where you believe you are a virtual character called Master Chief. Meh, OK, I forgot about you, BUT COYOTE DIDN'T. (Yelling put in for effect)

Voice came to WoW yesterday as part of patch 2.2.somethingorother. Thankfully it didn't come to the server that I play on (Malfurion). Based on the story yesterday about China banning men from playing female characters I wonder if VOIP will be implemented in the Chinese version of the game. The military may demand it!
