To end the year in a good light (or start it, depending on where you're reading this from), as well as to spread happiness, cheer, and maybe a giggle or two, we decided to put together some of the WoW videos that have been floating around the internet for the past year. These videos have been selected under the requirement of you-really-should-watch-it-at-least-once, and so we present to you some of our favorite picks which we can look back on and truly smile about.

The Ballad of the Noob

For those who haven't seen this classic piece of WoW fan-made goodness...where have you been? Seriously though, since we're just trying to add a bit of fun into everyone's lives, since it's the Holidays after all, here's something which was originally created by the people from Stone Falcon Productions.

This video is still worth the laughs despite its age, and it teaches an invaluable lesson to both the noobs and the ubers: ubers should remember to take the phone off the hook should they decide to let anyone hit them for any reason, and noobs should remember to not get too cocky as not everyone has got an ex-wife who loves talking on the phone.

"... and so he boldly left town even though he was only level 1."

Thanks to the versatility of the Wiimote, it seems that many people have been finding many uses for it which don't require, of all things, a Nintendo Wii. For example, who would have thought that the Wiimote could also be used to invade the world of MMORPGs?

It may sound zany, but as Cyan, the host of EQ2-Daily.com's podcasts, is about to show everyone, it's true. (Truth, we suppose, really is stranger than fiction sometimes.)

In this video that we have here, Cyan is demonstrating that it IS possible to play EverQuest II using a pair of Wiimotes. Unfortunately, he doesn't really go into the details and technical side of this whole set-up, but his demonstration does show that the whole thing works.

Using one controller, he demonstrates that basic movement is not only possible but also comfortable. The same Wiimote which controls his avatar's movements is also able to adjust the camera, just as you would if you had a mouse. It can zoom in and zoom out, and turn the camera a full 360. The second Wiimote, on the other hand, takes charge of his character's combat functions.

It's still a work in progress, but the project looks very promising to us EQ2 fans. In any case, go ahead and watch this clip to see what we're talking about.
