The Onion , the well-known and consistently hilarious parody news site, has turned its eyes toward World of Warcraft once again. In the past, they have introduced us to geek love in WoW and the World of World of Warcraft , and this time, they introduce us to the world of Raiding via nerd columnist Larry Groznic , who has previously written on his mastery of Quotes from Monty Python’s Holy Grail and the merits of Weird Al Yankovic’s Wikipedia entry. Larry’s rant to an under performing guild member, while somewhat anachronistic (it focuses on a Zul’Aman raid) manages to poke fun at classic raid leader nerd rage , hilariously nonsensical guild names , perennial altoholics , and quite a few other WoW foibles . It may even hit too close to home for some of the people who might recognize some of themselves or others in Larry or his chosen victim. But hey, if we can’t laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? The Onion’s done it again, and it’s worth a read. Filed under: Instances , Humor , Raiding , Alts The Onion takes on Raiding originally appeared on WoW.com on Sat, 11 Jul 2009 22:00:00 EST.
