*chortles*

I forgot all about the /pizza command in EQ2.

Is this real? lol. They actually added the Kung Fu Panda as a race into WoW? That would be really lame if it were true.

Vilidius · October 22, 2011, 01:19:27 AM

I'm still not entirely sure if this is a joke...

Funny thing is they actually announced Pandaren as a race during April Fool's this year (or was it last year?) but yes, it is true. I anticipate ninja turtles for the next expansion. You might laugh at that but it is entirely possible.

Next thing you know they'll add something truly silly like cow-people based on Native Americans. Oh wait...

Id be lying if I said this doesnt interest me. Mini game with the non combat pets, new class, pve encounters, account wide achievements , etc but not for now. Maybe in a year or most likely another expansion down the line.
Swtor all the way. Companions, way better ( at least to me it seems more varied and interesting ) crafting, your own ship to call your home and just different approach to story etc.
But diablo 3 will definitely be played along side. Nom nom nom diablo skull from collectors.

I'm just still trying to figure out what they were thinking.

It looks like a cross between Kung fu Panda and Mulan. It's pretty far out there even for WoW. I keep seeing a lot of people defending it saying "It already has talking bulls, why are panda's so far out there?" At least Tauren looked tough. Pandaren look squishy and plump.

Gith · October 23, 2011, 10:51:43 PM

"I am THE big fat panda."

Mixxi · October 24, 2011, 09:28:47 PM

Well, the verdict from my 8th-graders is that the pandas look pretty lame, but the "Pokemon thing" might be cool. And I think they were shocked to find it a topic of a teacher-led discussion.

Catri · October 24, 2011, 09:53:51 PM

OMG! Are you trying to tell me that teachers have lives outside of school? Heresy!

I know, right.

Heh - that's like the time my 9th graders were playing Magic the Gathering over lunch, and I sat down with one of my classic decks (nothing high-powered, but lots of cards they had never seen because they were "old") and started challenging them. I had never seen eyes actually fall out of heads before.

Ha! Too cool. I gave my old cards to my brother who's in college now (15 years age difference). Most of my cards were 3rd edition. I always sucked at MTG though for anything more than casual games. Plus, by little brother whups my ass whenever he plays me.

Mixxi · October 25, 2011, 09:21:27 AM

Alirrin--I love it! My son sometimes faces off against his high school history teacher at local tournaments. I think they both get a huge kick out of it.

PinkRose · October 25, 2011, 10:26:20 AM

I have no problem with the panda are in WoW because they fit there now.
With all the Chuck Norris-references and movie-references and such, it's fine. WoW is a game for a group of people. A large group.

Let's not be too critical. Star Wars does have Gamorreans, Gungun, Ewoks, Wookies and Besalisks.
