How stoked could you be to see your little RTS blow up into a famous franchise, reach multiple millions of players in a spin-off MMO, and then *not only get made into a movie* but have a director that wants to stay true to your vision?They even brought Clancy Brown back as Blackhand for the film (his voice was used in the scrapped Animated Game and did the voice of Scourgelord Tyrannus during WotLK).
It's awesome the little details that made it in. The Darkmoon Faire, Kobold Infestation, Hogger wanted sign, and Stranglethorn Fishing Competition posters at around the :50 second mark are great little easter eggs!
I get soooo frustrated at Blizzard for some of the crap they pull. Then, they put little things like Kinndy into the game. It's very touching, and I despise gnomes!If I were Metzen, I'm sure I'd get emotional too if I could actually walk through a creation of mine.
I am happy to see they made a point of having pumpkins in one of the carts... SO MANY pumpkin related quests in the human (and previously human controlled) areas. Like, so many. One of the things I always expect when humans are involved in WoW at this point is to find pumpkin patches nearby XD Squash is great and all guys but there can be too much! It's just one of those little things that makes me giggle. So excited to see this movie! I will spend the entire movie looking for little details like that, I just know it LOL. According to what I have seen so far though I do not expect to be disappointed. I am positive I am going to end up punching my husband on accident trying to get his attention to point something out, though... *Apologizes in advance*I love that Kinndy reference as well, a worthy little nod.
This is a sweet tribute, but unfortunately they picked one of the many sinister-looking gnome faces that we've been saddled with since the model revamp. It just doesn't seem like a permanent scowl is a good match for her personality.
Chris Metzen will play Wraithion in the Mists of Pandaria movie I see.
Reasons I love Metzen, even after all these years ^^
Just like Peter Jackson! :D
Ugg I LOVE that leather set, but hate that DH will remove the chest plate.
Oh wow I am SO glad they put that Kinndy reference in; I thought when I read that in the book that it'd be cool if they patched it into old Dalaran, but figured it wouldn't make sense timewise, so I'm really glad they remembered it and added it now. Lovely tribute, even if it does seem a little dusty in here now... Although I really wish we'd ever been able to meet her ingame - I'm still thoroughly disappointed that the Alliance version of the Theramore scenario did not follow the obvious route it should've done from how the book was written; Jaina keeps asking a group of unnamed and very vague companions to go and do stuff for her, before the bomb lands, and it seemed obvious to me that that was us; we should've been there before it happened and met Kinndy while she was alive (and then had the impact of finding her afterward, even if it was lessened for those who hadn't read the book). Oh well, at least those of us who have read the book will understand it, but it's a shame it'll mean nothing to the vast majority of people.
NO, you're crying. SHUT UP. I have something in my eye.
