We killed a nub. Anyone else see an elephant?

Last week, our visit to the psychic nether realm (aka fortune cookie) revealed that “A nub stands in your way.” And then, there he was! Our first counter in Naxxramas: Mr. Anub Rekhan. Imagine this guy’s childhood with that name; he must have been teased endlessly in school and while playing online video games. Even our cookie’s fortune was taunting him! Poor guy.

All that teasing had a nasty effect on the manners of the now adult Mr. Rekhan. On a regular basis, he attempts to torture those adventurers foolish enough to venture into his domain. It’s a shame (for him) that in the world of Naxxramas, he is still the nubbest of all bosses and we set out to prove his nubbishness once more.

Mr. Anub Rekhan was uber unfriendly to our tank Danny. But after a few attempts, we pinpointed the locus of his nubbishness and focused in on it. He soon became quite amiable to our dps and dropped quickly, proving that one can never really overcome childhood scars. Let that be a lesson to all you parents or parents-to-be: Do not name your child Anub or A nub or An ub or even any name containing those 4 letters. As a corollary: if you did happen to name your offspring cANUBian, quickly rename him/her “1337″ or something.

This week, to no one’s surprise, our fortune read, “You have killed a nub. Your life is now more tearful.” We assume “tearful” was just a typo which was supposed to be “tierful” (short for tier3ful). In the end, we are still awaiting a visit to the psychic nether world that states, “You will win the lottery.”
