Irwin to get WOW tribute (News) by Ellie Gibson

07/09/06 07:50

The inhabitants of Azeroth are set to pay a very special tribute to dead crocodile hunter Steve Irwin.

The idea came from WOW player BubbRubb, who wrote on the official forum: "I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Steve Irwin, as you all are I'm sure. We need to pay our respects to this man and lay his Azerothian soul to rest, so I propose a memorial service at the serene ocean front setting of the Zoram Strand.

"I would like to spell out CRIKEY with players as a tribute to his wonderous catch phrase, and then we can dance and swim in the ocean to celebrate his life instead of mourning his death," BubbRubb suggested.

Both Horde and Alliance players are invited to attend, with a specific time and date still to be set. And, er, some more people still to sign up - so far only seven people have committed, which is probably just enough to do the C.

Celebrating his life by sitting on your arse and directing your MMO character to dance and swim in the ocean. That's some tribute!

I think a better tribute would be for people to find these WoW nerds, wrestle them out of their dank, smelly habitat they call a room, and release them into the wild that is outside.

Most retarded comment I've read in quite some time.

How is proposing a tribute for wow gamers, on the official wow forums, a way to force the game on people and attention whore?

That goes solely on Eurogamer.

I'm allowed to overreact.

Hopefully a rival clan will crash it and kill them all, just like what happened with that funeral some people were trying to hold not so long ago.

If they really wanted to pay tribute, how about they use that $15us monthly fee and donate it to steve's conservation fund.

sitting on your bum and spelling out crikey with a bunch of other wow geeks is fucking worthless.

This doesn't strike me as any more strange or 'worthless' than a lot of other people's reaction to the news. I just can't decide what's more lame- spelling "crikey" out of players, or not having enough players to spell it in the first place.

WoW... just.. WoW..

Can these WoW freaks get any more pathetic?

Alliance and Horde cannot "safely" meet to do anything fullstop. This is just an excuse for a massive PvP fest.

I'm holding a Steve Irwin Tribubte at lunch. I'm going to Bar 333 and I'm going to have 2 beers and a burger. I will spell out Crocodile Man in tomato sauce. Donations welcome.
