Blizzard Adds Tinfoil Hat to Solve Armory Complaints

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the can't-be-uglier-than-spellstrike dept.

SlashRating© 70 slashdottit! tm A blue post on the WoW forums shows that blizzard's official stance on player aversion to the Armory will be addressed by adding a new item, the Tinfoil Hat. "While the Tinfoil Hat provides the wearer with added protection against mind control and other befuddlements, the hat's most interesting and truly unique property is that it completely removes the wearer's character profile from the Armory website and provides enhanced privacy for its wearer!"

    I put on my robe and tinfoil hat...?

    Man I am really looking to the new WoW sequal, WHoA!

    And if you go to their forums you'll see everyone is posting "blue" except the CMs which are all level 1 trolls :)

    WoW does have real items such as "The Unstoppable Force" (a wicked-looking hammer/mace/scythe thing), and its companion, "The Stoppable Force" (a simple wooden mallet). It also has, I'm told, items which you can fish up which turn you into a ninja or a pirate.

    So, this Tinfoil Hat item would not be entirely out of character for them, either as an April 1 joke, or as an actual, real improvement to the game.

  6. Rip off by saskboy · · Score: 2, Funny

    They are using inferior tin instead of aluminum. And one of the photos clearly demonstrates that it's a rip off of my Pet Foil Hat Technology.

    Judge for yourself.
