"World of Warcraft" is a massive game with an enormous lore and epic backstory. One can only wonder how the game designers and writers keep it all straight.
Well, apparently, they sometimes don't. But even if they can't, there is one man who can. Apparently it's this guy:
At the BlizzCon 2010 conference this past weekend, one man – his head full of game minutia – took to the microphone to ask Blizzard's Chris Metzen, Vice President of Creative Development, and Alex Afrasiabi, Lead World Designer, about an inconsistency he'd spotted.
Check out their reaction … and their promise to fix the mistake(!)
Yes, as the video has made its way around the web, many have found cause to mock this "WoW" red shirt. He has been called nerd. He has been called dork. He's been encouraged to "get a life" a la Shatner's famed Saturday Night Live skit.
But I say kudos to this man for braving the crowds and calling Blizzard on their flub. Go WoW superfan, go!
