Move over Chuck!

By now I’m sure everyone is familiar with the many Chuck Norris jokes that have been cluttering the internet for years. If you haven’t then either you’ve been living under a rock all this time or you’re lucky enough that this garbage hasn’t crossed your path. We’ve heard all sorts of these jokes, all of which basically shows how “powerful” Chuck Norris is supposed to be.

If you’ve been around WoW long enough then you’ve probably also heard about the WoW version of these jokes with High Overlord Saurfang being the subject of similar unbelievable feats of strength. With the release of patch 3.1 and the Ulduar raid dungeon it seems like the WoW community has another subject for these Chuck Norris jokes as shown in this forum discussion – Algalon, the real last boss in Ulduar who is only available in hard mode. Jokingly nicknamed by Blizzard as “The Raid Destroyer”, Algalon actually seems quite fitting for these same jokes.

For those who still don’t know what Algalon’s role is in the game, he’s someone sent by the Titans to initiate a scan of the world to check for corruption. The results of such scans can be catastrophic! The long and short of it is summarized by one of the forum posters “trying” to make a Chuck Norris joke about Algalon except that it’s the truth and not exaggerated at all. It goes something like “when the raid wipes on Algalon, all of Azeroth is destroyed… oh wait”. Now that looks like someone fitting for the Chuck Norris treatment!
