Yep, the madness is spreading. Some guy has just spent almost £5,000 to buy a souped up character off another player in the online roleplaying phenomenon, World of Warcraft.
The character, a rogue, came wielding the much prized Twin Blades of Azzinoth [above], which drop off big baddie Illidan Stormrage from the The Black Temple. As if you didn’t know.

Owning this hat enters you into a very exclusive club, a club that only allows people who have way too much time to do meaningless things in video games to get even more meaningless items. However, the hat is still freakin cool.

In World of Warcraft, even an Orc can love. While most people would consider Orcs as brutish individuals, they feel loss every time their mate is called off to fight against the Alliance.

A Troll with spunky hairdo and an attitude from World of Warcraft was spotted on a street wall in China. We always encourage WoW otakus to unwind in an artistic way.

It's about a group of online gamers playing a WOW-esque game. Very funny.

We already know that South Park's homage to World of Warcraft is one of the best episodes ever, but now the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences may agree because the episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft" just received an Emmy nomination.

Found this on a random, late-night YouTube journey. It’s eight minutes of dorked out laughs with that Simpsons touch of humor. Marge and Bart end up playing together in an MMORPG that closely resembles WoW. Good laughs.

China's drive to impose social and political "harmony" on the internet has claimed a new set of victims: undead skeletons. Chinese players of World of Warcraft, a hugely popular online role-playing game, have expressed outrage after their 'undead skeleton' characters were suddenly clad in new flesh, apparently in order to comply with a secret government ban on bare bones. Nuts.

Addicted? Sheez. "The problem with massive online games is that they're full of other people. In order to bypass the need for interaction and reliance on outsiders, one gamer (and, get this, his girlfriend) decided to take on the responsibilities of an entire World of Warcraft guild himself. "

This one is a classic, why dont we get any of these in the US? I am not sure when this came out, however it was just emailed to me this morning. It shows a few people playing WoW on their laptop and then the WoW characters come out of the laptop screen and battle for the Coke bottle. Its quite funny.

So whats there left to do in WOW after you experience all the end game content, deck yourself out in legendaries, have had your class nerfed to hell and battleground queues suck on your server? You've ranked up in PvP to the top of your server then ranked yourself all the way back down with 1337 dishonorable kills. Whats left?

As a freshman at the University of North Texas, Daniel Folmer would sometimes play video games for 12 hours straight. He stopped going out with friends. He sank onto academic probation.
When his girlfriend came over, he stayed in his virtual world. Then she told him something that jolted him back to reality.

A great list of NPC names, quest names, locations and quotes from World of Warcraft that are references to movies, characters, actors, songs, singers and other popular sources. Maybe a little old, and outdated - but still a cool list!

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) -- An addiction center is opening Europe's first detox clinic for video game addicts, offering in-house treatment for people who can't leave their joysticks alone. Video games may look innocent, but they can be as addictive as gambling or drugs - and just as hard to kick, says Keith Bakker, director of Amsterdam-based Smith & Jones Addiction Consultants.
