AFR #237 – The bugs are a feature

Poor Zhanashkar, he can’t find anywhere in Pandaria to spread death and destruction!

Now, I don’t like bugs.  I’ll make a few exceptions for pretty or useful ones (butterflies, dragon- and damselflies, honeybees) but otherwise I don’t want to have anything to do with them.  I hated even riding through Silithus back in the day and the Nerubians in Northrend creeped me out.  With all of that baggage, I think it’s a great testament to the art and story design work that went into Pandaria that even though I don’t like Dread Wastes, I found it compelling enough to play all the way through and to follow the Klaxxi story up to exalted.  I rag on Blizzard often enough with this comic; now’s the time to stand up and give them a round of applause for a job well done.

Ah yes, Titan and the Warcraft movie, the Bigfoot and Loch Ness monster of the WoW fanbase.  Just recently, we got news about some shake-up happening in the development of each one.  It makes you wonder…

Of course, we know they’re not the same.  Titan is a game; the movie is a movie.  Unless, of course, that’s just what they want us to think.  Unless, of course, they want us to think that’s what they want us to think.  Unless, of course…

The truth is out there!

This is my preferred explanation for why pretty much nothing has changed in Arathi Highlands since vanilla.

Yeah, I know I kind of did this joke already.  I’m still amused by the contrast between the world-is-going-to-end-ness of Cataclysm and the get-my-carrots-back-from-the-silly-bunny-people-ness of Mists.  It’s true things get pretty the-world-is-going-to-end-y once you move on to the Klaxi and start facing off against the mogu, but there’s plenty of carrots and beer before then.

There are few sights in WoW as wonderful as a gnome riding an elekk or a mammoth.  A Tauren riding a hawkstrider is one of them.
