I read through the SC2 patch notes (even though I don't play the game) and found this little gem:

Due to lack of appreciation by players, the Mothership has been surgically altered to be sleeker and more visually appealing, and has been renamed to the Cougarship. The Cougarship will automatically gravitate toward enemy units that have been in play for 18-21 minutes and attempt to bring them back to the nearest friendly base.

I found that to be pretty funny myself.

I so wish we had a cougarship!

The Horadric Cube app would also be nice, but i don't have an iPhone yet

I also liked those things from the "latest" WoW patch:

Character armory profiles will now display current guild status: Solo, In a Guild, Looking for Guild, G-kicked, and It’s Complicated. In addition, character portraits now have the option to be displayed as a self-taken cellphone picture from in front of a bathroom mirror.

Players in capital cities will receive a 2-hour debuff “Homebody” that increases damage taken and reduces damage and healing given by 10% for every 10 minutes they’re within city limits. We hope this encourages something.

This one making fun of the Torchlight pets:

Pets: regardless of what pet is actually tamed, these creatures will appear as either a wolf (Horde) or cat (Alliance) when in combat. In addition, we have implemented an exciting new cross-breeding system where players can mix pets of various families with unpredictable results. Be the first on your server to show off a Mothmonkey, Crocoliskchimera or Warp Crab (these will still appear as either a wolf/cat when in combat).

And last but not least for my beloved mage:

In addition to their current spells, mage Mirror Images now can randomly cast Frost Nova, Ring of Frost, Portal: Dalaran, and Mirror Image. Mirror Images summoned by Mirror Images can also cast Mirror Image. Mirror Images summoned by Mirror Images that are summoned by Mirror Images can also cast Mirror Images. Mirror Images that are summoned by Mirror Images that are summoned by Mirror Images that are summoned by Mirror Images…

The SCII Patch notes were my favorite. I especially liked

and

Whenever a Phoenix performs the barrel roll animation, it cannot be damaged by any attacks.

Why do WoW players have a fetish over shoulder armor size? I'm surprised I don't hear contests to see who has the biggest and the baddest shoulder armor.

And that's how i looked:

And the shoulder size was optimal!

The Starcraft Motion one was really awesome as well, probably because of the production time that went into making it.

And I didn't get the SC:Ghost reference. I feel stoopid nau.

It's because Blizzard has put Starcraft: Ghost on hold indefinitely. You played as Nova, a ghost and it was an FPS if I remember correctly.

Now that you mention it some gears are starting to turn. Probably some remarks other people made I never paid any real attention to myself.

Kinda cool that they made references to both stuff old and new in these jokes.
