6 Classic Warcraft Characters They Should Add to the (Hopefully Inevitable) Sequel
For reasons that still befuddle me, the producers of the Warcraft movie decided to adapt the original video game storyline from the 90s. Even though Warcraft became a household name with the World of Warcraft MMORPG in the 00s, they turned back the clock to focus on the origin story of the world. I supposed it makes some kind of sense, but it leaves out all of the most popular characters and stories.
We’ll have to wait until the threequel or fivequel before we see the likes of Thrall, Illidan, the Lich King or Chen Stormstout!
Blizzard should still consider releasing animated movies
But that’s not to say the early days of Warcraft don’t have fun and exciting characters. And being the super lore nerd that I am, I’ve decided to put them in a list. Last week, I wrote about Warcraft concepts and characters I hope to see someday down the line, later in the franchise. That was before I saw the actual movie. Now that I’ve put in the time in theaters, and now that I see them sticking pretty close to the early stories, I’ve got a few more specific ideas in mind.
If Warcraft 2 sticks with that earlier timeline, who are some classic Warcraft characters they should add? You won’t find too many of them in World of Warcraft, but back in the day, they were our champions!
Except FULL SPOILERS for the new movie after the jump.
I’m Coming to Get You, Clementine! Again!
Expect a lot of video game news this week with E3 right around the corner. Seeing as how I’m lazy, I probably won’t post all of it. Heck, I wasn’t even going to write about the new Batman game from Telltale Studios. It looks neat…but no sign of Robin, yet.
Speaking of Telltale, however, there’s no way I’m going to miss out on the first teaser trailer for Part 3 of their ongoing The Walking Dead saga! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: out of all The Walking Dead material, my favorite character is Clementine. She’s the best!
Those new graphics look amazing!
Based on this teaser, Clementine is once again going to age up between games. That’s fine. There were, like, 5 different endings to Part 2, and there was no way Telltale would be able to support them all in the new game. All that matters is that Clementine is still awesome, and that looks to be true!
Can’t wait for the new chapter!

Talk a Walk Down Warcraft Memory Lane!
The Warcraft movie is out and it’s getting terrible reviews! That might dull its success in America, but it’s killing overseas! Hope for a sequel remains! I won’t see the film until Saturday night, but until then, we can always count on the Honest Trailers folks to have some fun.
Those take me back. I’ve played Warcraft since the very beginning. Such a fun game! I hope to enjoy the movie.

Am I The Only One Around Here Who Doesn’t Care About Legendary Pokemon?
New information about Pokemon Sun and Moon is coming out in drips and drabs. We’re still waiting on the evolution of the new starters (and I’m still a Litten man), but here’s a short video introducing the two legendary Pokemon for the game! And I couldn’t care less!
I haven’t cared about a legendary Pokemon since Mewtwo. I just don’t see the point. You get them automatically. Pick whichever one is on the cover, and the story gives you that one for free. There’s no skill, no hunting, no real challenge. And there’s always some lame reason why these two Pokemon are the best ever, despite there being two similar legendary pokemon for the past several games.
I’m probably gonna go with the cosmic space bat.

Overwatch is Right Around the Corner
Did anybody else play the Overwatch Beta last weekend? Blizzard has never let me down, so I gave it a shot. Sometimes I did well, sometimes I did not. Now I’m debating whether or not to get the full game when it’s released at the end of the month. Normally I’m terrible at first-person shooters, especially a game like this, against other people.
But if Overwatch has a story mode to match these animated shorts, I may have to definitely consider getting the game.
These cartoons definitely help explain the characters better, at least. There are more than a dozen super-people introduced in this game, and they’re a little hard to keep track of right off the bat.
