  • h4ckler, on 02/23/2008, -7/+39Amazing.
    • jezsik, on 02/26/2008, -0/+2Good news! The artist just told me that the whole legal wrangling has been resolved - in part due to all the publicity generated on Digg! The interested parties have allowed him to sell prints of the image, but only at conventions, oddly enough. If you're at Dragon Con, World Con, Comic Con, or World Fantasy later this year, you can buy a print.
  • rabidmonkey1, on 02/23/2008, -1/+210Well, I just found the only computer background I will ever need for the rest of my life.
    • rentmitchum, on 02/23/2008, -0/+14Agreed. It would be neat if an image site could record how many people wallpapered it on their desktop. That was the first thing I did with it, then I looked at it in more detail.
    • d0onut, on 02/23/2008, -0/+3It fits so perfectly.
    • Dylson, on 02/23/2008, -1/+26Indeed. This background has so much win in it that, if you look at it for more than 30 seconds at a time, you will go blind.
    • iviamp, on 02/23/2008, -2/+1+1
    • c0baltfish, on 02/23/2008, -0/+5If it were provided in multiple resolutions I would agree with you.
    • trentcaleb, on 02/23/2008, -0/+0I said that EXACT SAME THING when i saw it.
  • abcdefghijkkk, on 02/23/2008, -4/+245If that image gets shown to Colbert you'll never hear the end of it on the show. It might just replace that portrait above the fireplace.
    • MJDub, on 02/23/2008, -0/+54As it should.
    • MillionsLivio, on 02/23/2008, -0/+47Someone send it to him.
    • rentmitchum, on 02/23/2008, -0/+15He's never been more America!
    • getrealnow, on 02/23/2008, -11/+18Nice stealing reddits comments
      • ronoxQ, on 02/23/2008, -2/+33COULD be the same person on both sites.
        • getrealnow, on 02/23/2008, -6/+2Yeah, and I'm jesus
        • bagelmaster, on 02/23/2008, -1/+3*stands up* No I'M Jesus!

          /spartacus
        • hobo05, on 02/24/2008, -0/+1so what? just choose one site to post your "epic" comment on, why tire yourself out?
      • damien6669, on 02/23/2008, -7/+1Wee Todd Did
    • nighthawk8713, on 02/23/2008, -0/+6He would just build another fireplace so he could have both.
  • Hitpoint, on 02/23/2008, -3/+110"Terrorists eat my fiery sword of freedom!"
    • Fragalishus, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2No, you've got it all wrong. It's the Flaming Sword of Justice and the Screaming Shield of Liberty.
  • TnTBass, on 02/23/2008, -5/+33Best. Portrait. Ever.
  • sup1, on 02/23/2008, -2/+160Sword of Truthiness equals epic loot
  • daeyeth, on 02/23/2008, -3/+17This is AWESOME
  • NinjaPirateDude, on 02/23/2008, -5/+167i never thought something could be made of pure epic.....
    • neuromachine, on 02/23/2008, -37/+1...fail?
    • adoggz, on 02/23/2008, -0/+18Indeed, There is so much epic in this that the word must be retired from use as nothing can contain more epic than this.
    • melonhedd, on 02/23/2008, -20/+2"epic" is not a collective noun so something can't be made of it.
      • 1337Einstein, on 02/23/2008, -0/+23This image seems to prove otherwise.
      • ImBreno, on 02/23/2008, -1/+2lurk moar
      • Lythium, on 02/23/2008, -1/+5The term "epic" in this case is a very specific piece of WoW jargon. Its usage is entirely appropriate given the nature and subject of the item under discussion. Get over it.
      • c0baltfish, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2you fail at sensing pure epic.
    • stackered, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1Or is it made of pure win?
  • Globalsupremacy, on 02/23/2008, -12/+2*epically stares at the artwork for hours*
    • pjsheldon, on 02/23/2008, -0/+3Don't! You are going to miss the Colbert Report!
      • UtopiaInTheSky, on 02/23/2008, -0/+6No, his show was on re-runs all week.
      • iviamp, on 02/24/2008, -0/+0I know, are they back on strike or what? where's the hunger!
  • tcardone05, on 02/23/2008, -2/+107Bastards! Who rejected this?
    • zinman13, on 02/23/2008, -9/+2Someone at Upper Deck who makes the card game, that’s about all I know.
    • adoggz, on 02/23/2008, -1/+79Bears
    • Efilnikufesin, on 02/23/2008, -0/+31Someone who hates America.
      • FullmetalGinta, on 02/23/2008, -6/+0Im surprised, that this comment doesn't have more diggs??????
        I think its funny at least
    • Prometheus, on 02/23/2008, -0/+7Barry Manilow
    • whatsupimphil, on 02/23/2008, -0/+4Stay tuned, I'm sure they will be featured on "Who's not honoring me now"
  • ZeroOrDie, on 02/23/2008, -2/+12Thank you for my new wallpaper. :)
  • SRSco, on 02/23/2008, -50/+4This is stupid.
  • DrunkenSavior, on 02/23/2008, -2/+86+20 Truthiness!
    • Lythium, on 02/23/2008, -0/+4It's only a "chance on hit." Not _that_ great ;)
  • tehrob, on 02/23/2008, -1/+52This is the site of the guy who did the artwork. no mention of WoW on his site though he does artwork for many other games.

  • BIGJHUB, on 02/23/2008, -6/+3wow.
  • an0nim0us, on 02/23/2008, -2/+62And this brings us to today's Word: Epic
  • PixelMagic, on 02/23/2008, -43/+4Way to go Digg. Always playing second fiddle to reddit. This has been there all day. Old.
    • zinman13, on 02/23/2008, -1/+33Submitted to Digg over 16 hours ago, submitted to Reddit 15 hours ago. Who is behind whom?
    • wellyuk, on 02/23/2008, -0/+25You really are a ***** aren't you? You're a great big ***** *****.

  • ZeroIce, on 02/23/2008, -2/+11WTF is that sword made of? That's epiciness.
  • WootZoot, on 02/23/2008, -9/+15Awesome, but buried for inaccurate description. This art has nothing to do with the WoW TCG...Im curious as to where the OP got that information.
  • MJDub, on 02/23/2008, -2/+11I dare anyone to show me something more legendarily epic than this.
  • statrick, on 02/23/2008, -9/+1http://colbertnation.guildomatic.com/
  • everfalling, on 02/23/2008, -2/+76did anyone else notice that the hilt of his sword has an eagle talon grasping a bunch of golden arrows as the guard with a MICROPHONE as the grip/pommel? ***** win
  • groonk, on 02/23/2008, -14/+2that's a bit busy but it's Colbert, so it's still win
  • eliburford, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2Freakin' beautiful art piece!

  • HydrogenOxide, on 02/23/2008, -2/+19I'M STEVEN COLBERT AND THIS IS MY PALADIN POLITICIAN, I CAN'T GET ON THE BALLOT, VOTE FOR HIM!

    A VOTE FOR PALADIN POLITICION IS A VOTE FOR A NERF OF ALL WARLOCKS
    • Ridgedog, on 02/23/2008, -8/+0HydrogenOxide, it sounds like you've been having too much Dihydrogen Monoxide. stop using it. now.
    • ahac, on 02/23/2008, -5/+1Warlocks are ok. L2P
  • shagen454, on 02/23/2008, -13/+1Man, those must be the ugliest epics I've ever seen; I hope he didn't spend more than two hours grinding!
    • shagen454, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1I take it you guys haven't seen the tier 6 epics?
  • undershirt, on 02/23/2008, -1/+8That reminds me of Ben Stiller's portrait.
    http://sports.espn.go.com/media/sportsbiz/2004/062 ...
    It's a metaphor, but that really happened.
  • brook011, on 02/23/2008, -2/+10Looks like hes got his Aura of Truthiness up. +10% Patriotism and Ward:Mexican.
  • Brian48216, on 02/23/2008, -0/+6He should be carrying Captain America's shield.

      • stackered, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1The fact that I know that reference brings despair to me... good thing I quit the addiction known as MTG
        • dukksoup, on 02/23/2008, -0/+3it's not an addiction.
