The world (and universe) is an incredible place, as I've learned from awesome series such as Planet Earth and the Universe. What are some other high-quality mindblowing box sets?

Yes I know it is totally lame to buy a WOW account. Don't Care. I want to buy the most bad ass World of Warcraft character possible. Its a present to myself for finishing a 10 year long project. Anyway, how do I go about doing this, how do I evaluate the bad ass-ness of the account? I'm willing to spend thousands of dollars. Yes yes yes, I know it is lame. Whatever. WOW looks pretty cool and I'd like to get into it no matter how lame.

My friends are into World of Warcraft, and I want to get a character on there so I can play along with them. However, it seems like it takes up so much time and requires such constant input that I can't do anything else while I'm playing. Has anyone successfully done other things while playing?

For the life of me I can't find it. Could any of you hope me on the matter? [more inside]

My gaming friends use Ventrilo to chat while playing WoW. I've downloaded the Mac version of the Ventrilo software, but when I tried to use it I got an error message stating that I had the wrong Codec, so I was unable to hear or speak to them. Is there a piece of software my friend can download for his server that would allow my mac to play with their computer? Or something that I can download for mine?

What advice do you have for a WoW player starting a warlock for the first time? What is the cookie-cutter talent build? What are the main party responsibilities? How should PvP be approached? Any advice is welcome.

I've started using TeamSpeak to communicate with the members of my guild in World of Warcraft, and I've run into a problem. The other users can barely hear me, unless I have the Speech Control Panel open in Windows. I don't have to do anything other than open it, and my volume comes through fine. (Already checked all the levels on the microphone, and that's not the issue.) Any ideas?

Meme origin question: The phrase "bow-chicka-wow-wow" has become the standard way to signify "porn movie music." I remember seeing a stand-up comic in the late '80s/early '90s who spoke that phrase, and that was what got my circle of middle schoolers using it, although I doubt that was the real progenitor. But it's too specific of an expression to have been developed independently. Thoughts?
