Culture Buzz Warning: This image will give you feelings. Unless you are some jaded monster. You aren't a monster, are you?
Culture Buzz 17-year-old Blizzard gets right in his English Teacher’s face, before taking the beating of a lifetime. Skip to 1:30 for the start of the battle. Mark Grist is immense.
“My whole guild is boycotting your game, and it's not even on the shelves yet!” He's lost his mind. Is this a Will Ferrell character?
Church signs are just as fed up with the snow as everyone else. Knock it off, God.
Today at BuzzFeed, we've alternately called this week's crippling snow storm Blizzaster and Snowpocageddon. Which soundbite-ready nickname would you prefer? Here are a few more suggestions. Feel free to add your own!
Video from Coney Island the day after the blizzard. The only thing missing is young, sexy Jake Gyllenhaal.
Culture Buzz A photographer in Williamsburg, Henry Hargreaves, refashions snow-entombed Brooklyn into the ice planet Hoth from “The Empire Strikes Back.” If you're stranded in Williamsburg, don't slice open a hipster's belly for warmth. And you thought they smelled bad on the outside.

It pretty much sums up New York's reaction to the storm.
Culture Buzz This happened in New York City during the Storm of the Century of the Decade of the Year of the 2010 Holiday Season. He must have been pretty upset about travel delays. He's like the Hulk, except powered by crack instead of gamma radiation.
Watch 20+ hours of snow condensed to 38 seconds - yardstick and moving clock included
Some fascinating time lapse footage of yesterday's Snowpocalypsageddon 2010: The Frozening. This was filmed in Belmar, New Jersey. It's why everyone on the East Coast is freaking out and air travel has been colossally screwed. Time to resort to cannibalism.
Blizzard's senior vice president of creative development, Chris Metzen, delivers a rousing dissertation to a packed audience at BlizzCon about what it means to be a geek. Beta is the new alpha.

All information posted on this site is PUBLICLY AVAILABLE information found online starting with only knowing a first and last name. Which is actually less than you'll have to go by if you try finding out about someone from World of Warcraft, since in-game you may have met them before any know information such as what state they live in, and the FULL NAMES of ALL of their realID friends.
But it makes my stalking habits sooooooo much easier to manage!
World of Warcraft HQ, Blizzard Games, is completeing the installation of a 12 foot tall bronze statue of a mounted orc in front of their offices in California. I have only two thoughts on this: 1) Awesome!!!!! 2) What is the wolf riding equivalent of the word “equestrian”?
Blizzard Entertainment and PepsiCo are teaming up to bring you World of Warcraft Mountain Dew “Game Fuel” soft drinks this summer. So now you can rot your teeth in a more brand-relevant way while you get manna for your warlocks or whatever. The only question that remains is whether you're going to go with the cherry-flavored Horde Red, or the fruity Alliance Blue variety. Delicious!
