Friday Humor: Pirates, Fantasies, The Best Laid Plans

I am probably the last gaming blog on all the "internets" to post this link but it's really hilarious so I'm jumping on the bandwagon. It's a bunch of WOW players talking to a GM in pirate-speak. So, yarr, here it be, lubbers. It really is funny.
To make up for my lateness with this one, here's a link to a McSweeney's article entitled "Pirate Riddles for Sophisticates."
Moving from pirates to, well, porn, up next is the (probably not safe for work) website called Geek Fantasies. This has to be a parody or an elaborate joke. On the site you will find videos of scantily clad women fulfilling such geek fantasies as playing D&D, quoting Monty Python and opening a "mint condition" Optimus Prime toy. There is no actual nudity thus far though there sure is cheesy 70's style music. The fact that there is no member page is what leads me to believe this is intended to be humorous. Plus the fact that it's so damn funny.
By the way ladies, there is no saving throw for magic missile (though I guess there is spell resistance). Ah, well.
Friday Humor bonus: A friend just alerted me to a WOW video which, like Geek Fantasies, seems too funny not to be staged. But I am no WOW expert - let me know what you think.
Try downloading the video: here or here. It starts off slow so be patient. Ah, just noticed that AFK Gamer posted about this video yesterday. I'm a bit behind the times, maties.

Oops Should have made that link I mentioned above in HTML.
Here it is.
Heh, guess you missed paragraph three of today's post. Well, you know what they say: great minds think alike.
Loved the "Pirate Riddles for Sophisticates." (-:
oops!
heh, I feel like an idiot. sorry!
Heh, not at all flash, you always seem to find interesting sites. Plus, it reminded me to check out your site and I spent an enjoyable half hour playing that De-Animator flash game. I put a link up on my page to Game Memes so I remember to check your posts out more often. I still play that Dark Tower game you posted about a while back.
The situation in that wow video isn't that far from accurate. I just find it unlikely they someone would be recording while doing that, since recording isn't exactly easy on your system while you're in the middle of a dungeon taking on stuff that difficult. I also find it rather unlikely that someone sounding as drunk as that one guy was would even be able to find his keyboard, let alone join a group and get them all wiped out.
well, okay...he could probably get everyone wiped out, but unlikely fill the prerequisites.
However, that sort of situation could happen to anyone by just hitting the wrong button (autorun for example) and then hitting the wrong button again while trying to turn it off. -shudders-
In my opinion every person ought to browse on it.
