Taiwanese man FINISHES World of Warcraft
Written by Bryan Banfield   

A Taiwanese man has been named the first ever person to successfully "complete" World of Warcraft, collecting the game's staggering 986 Achievements to effectively do everything there is to do in the hugely successful MMO. This is literally the most amazing news of the day.

'Little Gray" beat the game after killing 390,895 creatures, administering 7,255,538,878 points of damage, completing 5,906 quests (averaging 14 quests a day), raiding 405 dungeons and hugging 11 players. I believe we can safely add another statistic to the numbers -- he has had sex 0 times during this period.

Some nitpicky WoW f*ckheads are trying to downplay Little Gray's accomplishment, claiming he received one event-tied achievement (B.B King) due to a glitch, and did not win it fairly. You know what, though? Who the Hell cares? He's done more than any human being ever reasonably should, so let's not quibble over one little point.

He's a WoW player. He will probably achieve nothing else in life. Let the man have this.

 All the action is at Cmarine this weekend near Fourways Junction.

Head down there for a SUMMER JAM. Doors open at 11am on Saturday 28 November and R70 gets you. Add a cool Hawaiian shirt to your "get-up" and get in for R50. 

Come and see the DJ Battles, Von Zipper Bikini shows, catch some wakeboarding and play some Guitar Hero or maybe the Von Zipper wet t-shirt comp catches your fancy. Whatever it is The Lair will be there rocking it up and we look forward to seeing you there.
