    Considering that Mr. Pandaren also happens to be a Brewmaster, when will they get that damned /beer command working? Forget chinese food, I want someone to bring me a beer!

    Editors of the popular technology "news" site, Slashdot were found twitching uncontrollably with blood pouring from their ears in the early morning hours of April 2nd. According to the last lucid survivor, a man who only identified himself as "CowboyNeal", all apparently succombed to madness in a last minute orgy of posting numerous, and increasingly bizarre April Fool's spoofs to their site.

    According to "CowboyNeal", "Once we started, we just couldn't stop. It was like crack or something."

  7. Finally! by JohnA · · Score: 2, Funny

    I've been so jealous of EverQuest 2's /pizza feature. I mean, why spend time developing a game and its content, when you can make completely worthless marketing deals?

    I think that the /pizza feature is why EQ2 is beating the pants off of WoW in subscriber count.

    Pandaren is a Blizzard created race of Panda men. I believe it's first introduction into their games was WC3. However I could be wrong.

    The name is more than likely a play on Panda Express, a chinese food company. http://www.pandaexpress.com/

    No one would stop to order food in Booty Bay. They'd be dead before they could get the menu open...
