- Lunkhead69, on 10/12/2007, -12/+195LOL! That is funny! WRONG, but funny!
- t3hCyborg, on 10/12/2007, -16/+166It's slightly funny, in my opinion. Worth a chuckle. Reminds me a little of the WoW funeral crashing video. Definitely worth checking out.
( http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7667194685876573666 ) - t3hCyborg, on 10/12/2007, -21/+108Just a comment that I should have edited into my previous statement: I'm getting dugg down for God knows what reason. I think that some of you are assuming that I am the maker or a participant in this video and I am promoting it or something, which you would be completely wrong. It goes with the topic and has a similar theme, so please stop being stupid.
Thank you. - bobothn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+74It all depends on the person. if i died and people were making comments like that i would be glad. that even in death i could make people happy.

- shibz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+62actually your site didn't have any more info on this topic. could you please provide a more direct link so we can digg you down again?
- mbthompson, on 10/12/2007, -3/+56For the love of Pete that is wrong! And yet I laugh.
- Klarth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+52rez pls
- alabry06, on 10/12/2007, -1/+52"Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh."
--George Bernard Shaw - dustedbunny, on 10/12/2007, -5/+48To sum up what Klisk just tried to say....
.."If you die, YOU should be the one telling everyone on a message board you're dead. Not a family member."
I'll make sure to put that in my will. "When I die, please resurrect me so I can tell all my friends on Guild Wars I'm dead. Thnx" - cresswga, on 10/12/2007, -0/+41Does anyone know where the real thread is? I would love to read the resulting flame war.
- LarianLeQuella, on 10/12/2007, -5/+43Someone make sure this gets a mirror? I'm really a Digg n00b, so I don't know what I need to do. I'm sure Imageshack will cut this off if it gets popular.
- xutopia, on 10/12/2007, -3/+38Why can't we laugh about death? Someone would tell me they'd make such a joke about me when I died I wouldn't find it mean. It was funny and not disrespectful at all imo.
- chriskzoo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+36Classic - almost as good as the in-game funeral for someone that died in real life and these guys just came in and decimated everyone.
- IHaveIssues, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33Pre-WoW the response was "Can I have his stereo?"
- dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -4/+34Ol' Nano would've liked that joke.
YOU'RE MY BOY NANO! - kylesellers, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29Yes, it is WoW. You are observant.
- Phaetonsurge, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23I reuploaded the image to Imageshack, so if it goes down - http://img273.imageshack.us/img273/3892/wow4twiw3xo8.gif
Ta da. - dustedbunny, on 10/13/2007, -0/+18You made my laugh out loud and I had my entire department ask me what was so funny....
....mind you I work in a insurance broker's office with middle aged divorced women....
...crap. - djseligman, on 10/13/2007, -0/+17I guess that's because it's when they're closest to your feet.
I laughed. I'm not sorry. I bet even the *departed* would have laughed at that. - LarianLeQuella, on 10/12/2007, -6/+22Thank you both. Hey, this is my first foray onto the front page, I am still shocked at the response this got! :)
- judremy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20It's even worse if you imagine when he died that a loot window opened up.
- antipower187, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Yeah, Im not even a WoW fan and I want to read the flame war!
- inotocracy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Photoshopping seems a tad overkill, chances are it happened. Its not hard to reply to a post-- look I'm doing it now!
- Klisk, on 10/12/2007, -6/+20I have more experience than you guys, sorry. I don't know what I'm talking about.
Trust me. He isn't dead. He's just faking his death so he can quit the game with a bang. I've seen it done a million times, not only in WoW, but also in EQ, PSO, and FFXI. Some people just like to quit with that 'thrill'.
The fact that it's done from the deceased persons account only furthers the proof.
And guess what? No, a family member grieving over their relative would not go on a ***** WoW message board to announce the death. The person is alive and well, and faking their death, peroid. If the brother played, as I said, he would of made the announcement from HIS account.
If you don't believe me, fine, but show me a real newspaper obituary listing. This isn't real. - Cynoclast, on 10/13/2007, -0/+14That's not wrong.
If that was me dying and somebody said that I'd laugh, if I could laugh posthumously. - black2back, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I love how forum trolls cause so much drama on the WoW forums.
- dandiemer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13except that this was on the european forums.

and change the word "digg" to "duggmirror" - MattJF317, on 10/12/2007, -0/+97/7/2006 10:12:26 AM PDT - 7/7/2006 10:21:30 AM PDT = 6 seconds?
- growlzor, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11WOW thats so messed up yet I can't stop laughing
- zephc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8That's just the contrast of the darker and lighter backgrounds messing with you.
- chubbymidget, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I'm not a hardcore WoW player and don't know any of these players but the comment almost seems appropriate.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Didn't you guys here? He dropped the Sword of a Thousand Truths.
HUNT4R W34P0N lawl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!1!11!!!1!11!111!!!!111one!1!!1!!!!!eleven - DanSheldon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9This is like assuming that a funeral is about you. It's actually about your friends and your family finding closure and taking time to honor you. If someone crashed you funeral and started asking if they could have your stuff, sure you may find it amusing, but it could be painful to your friends and family.
- oliofactor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Azimuth1 I have to apologize to you. Why? because i just found out that nobody is allowed to find something funny after you have already found it funny months in advance. Is there anything I can do to make this up to you? I know your life is too profound and busy to find pity in me. I feel ashamed that I have a life, and that I wouldn't intentionally speak condescendingly to random people in a digg forum who have never heard of this certain joke. I feel bad because it is blatantly obvious by everyone's response and the current number of diggs that this certain joke is so old and outdated that even the original programmers of Ultima Online thought of this joke and laughed at it 20 years ago over a cup of hot cocoa and the latest addition of Nintendo power. Will my apology be enough??? NO!!! WE SHOULD ALL BAND TOGETHER AND PRAISE THE ONE KNOWN AS AZIMUTH1, WHO IS OF SUCH A DEGREE OF WISDOM OF THE NATURE OF HUMAN HUMOR THAT WE MUST ALL BOW TO HIS PREVIOUS HAHAs. WE MUST REALIZE THIS FOR OUR OWN GOOD! FOR AZIMUTH1 TO TAKE TIME OUT OF HIS BUSY DAY AND LAY TO REST THE SENSELESS LAUGHTER AIMED AT THIS THIS CRAPPY DIGG IS THE GREATEST GIFT BESTOWED UPON WWW.DIGG.COM. I FOR ONE WILL NOT REST UNTIL NOBODY FINDS THIS DIGG FUNNY BECAUSE IT IS TOO OUTDATED FOR OUR SOPHISTICATED HEHEs. SO TO YOU MR. AZIMUTH1 I APOLOGIZE, AND I HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE ALL OF US WHO HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOUR ALL ENCOMPASSING KNOWLEDGE OF PAST AND PRESENT GUT BUSTING JAW DROPPING CRAP FLYING OUT OF MY ASS LAUGHTER.
- nicerobot, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8I don't think it's "wrong" at all. It's wonderfully hilarious! I'd love for people to find some humor in my passing.
- the_craze, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11I find the best time to kick someone is when they're down.
- Klarth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Nope. It's a 4chan thing to say "screenshot/pix/photo or it didn't happen".
- arkmtech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6It's a shame that anyone should die young, but this goes to show that there's humor in every situation - even death.
I can think of no greater tribute to a person than for them to keep friends/acquaintances laughing even after they're gone - If 'Nano' was as good humored as his obit thread makes him out to be, then this was a probably a tribute to his good spirit by a fellow player posting under the guise of a newb - It's likely 'Nano' would've gotten a good laugh outta' this too. ;-) - Otto, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8riots: As much as I see the underlying stupidity in your post, yes.
- DoubtingThomas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I think all the so-called "obituary" threads on WoW forums (yes there have been more than one) have been pretty much debunked as hoaxes. I am glad this guy got in such a great first post.
- LarianLeQuella, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4There was a DAoC player that must have died at least three or four times (Etwor for those of you who played on Guinevere). Yeah, but I also know people who did indeed die (/mil Granarc you old leatherneck you!), so it does happen.
- FatD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5If it was UO I would be looking for the guys house before it went IDOC
- avsa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5don't mix real life with gaming.
if sometihng sad happnes in the real life universe, you can't expect to said that in a game and expect people not to react the way they do in games. - SirBriggs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@meshgiath In the forums it switches brighter-darker-brighter-darker. Makes it easier to read.

See? - Chaosteil, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I searched on the wow forums and i found only one post from this guy, which was not related to this topic (http://forums.wow-europe.com/search.html?stationId=1&forumId=1132&searchText=&characterName=Nano&recentPosts=0&x=419&y=-34)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Well, you know... It could have been worse. There are lots of retards on WoW who think they're funny.
- fluidfoundation, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6holy freaking GOD thats funny.
