You don’t have to look far to find acts of extreme dorkiness on the internet. The folks of Mana Energy Potion have hooked up treadmills to their PCs, indirectly promoting a new Olympic event, one that all gamers can appreciate regardless of athletic finesse.

The event I speak of is of course the Azeroth cross country track competition. One virtual World Of Warcraft mile boils down into half of a real mile and these geeks are going to run across it for five minutes of painful sprinting.  Donning brightly-colored wigs and fake swords, these two geeks square off in the gauntlet. The gauntlet being Mom’s basement.

After spending weeks of your life signed on to World of Warcraft (or Warcrack as we like to call it) you’d like something to show for it. FigurePrints has a service that allows you to replicate your character with a actual plaque figurine.

Through a partnership with Blizzard, FigurePrints uses 3D scanning technology to create a life-like creation of your character, complete with a name plate for identiffication purposes (which makes it much easier to identify the mangled body of a lost soul is Azeroth). — Andrew Dobrow
