A patent record has been found that shows Microsoft were full steam ahead looking into developing an audio filter system to cut the swears out.

It would be designed to make the naughty words "unintelligible or inaudible" and the best bit is it would work all by itself. Obviously this tech is taking its sweet fu**ing time.

Providing you can kidnap the "right writers and directors" for the project, Spider-man director Sam Raimi reckons a WoW flick would be awesome.

It's all those "fantastic landscapes and rules" which would lead to brilliance apparently, of course they'd have to cameo some gold farmers and the clueless newb.
