World of Warcraft trailer arrives
The World of Warcraft movie is here. I always secretly hoped for a version directed by Uwe Boll, starring Ben Kingsley and Tara Reid, but I suppose it just wasn’t in the cards. We’ll have to settle for this meager display instead and wonder what might have been.
The Orcs are Coming! (Update!)
Update: Check out this sweet new poster that was just released today! So good!
The first trailer for the Warcraft movie is right around the corner. It’s going to debut at Blizzcon this weekend, and hopefully it’ll arrive on the Internet soon after. Granted, I’ll be in London, so I might miss it! But Empire magazine was kind enough to tease some screenshots from the movie.
Behold, Durotan, father of Thrall and Warchief of the Frost Wolves Clan!
How do you pierce a tooth?
You can check out the article for yourself here.
Good times, that Durotan. Personally, I would have made the first movie about Thrall, but the filmmakers decided to go all the way back to the first Warcraft game and start the lore from the beginning. Mad respect for something like that. Let’s hope they can pull it off!
The Warcraft movie will be out next year. And be sure to watch the trailer as soon as you can!

Announcing World of Warcraft: Legion!
The new expansion is World of Warcraft: Legion! When the Tomb of Sargeras is opened, the Burning Legion invades Azeroth with armies of demons! No new races, like I’d hoped, but there’s a new Demon Hunter hero class! And a bigger focus on classes, including iconic weaponry.
Check out this pretty cool announcement trailer!
Looks pretty neat. Everybody loves fighting demons!
You can read a ton of info at the World of Warcraft website. They’ve got a whole shebang to show off about the new classes, weapons and fancy pants stuff!
I’m not quite sure if this is going to be enough to get me back into the game. I put out a whole list this week of what I wanted to see in the next expansion, and I don’t think I really get anything that I want! But hey, any new adventure is cause for fun, right? This Demon Hunter hero class could be cool, and it’ll give me something to do with the Night Elves, finally.
And oh yeah, Illidan is coming back!
Overall, I’m still not sure. I think I’ll let this announcement sink in and see where I am in a few weeks. I’ll still need to buy and play through Warlords of Draenor, and this game won’t be coming out for at least a year, probably. So I’ve got time to think, save money and possibly even finally cure myself of this maddening addiction!
But a Night Elf Demon Hunter is starting to sound pretty cool…

6 Things That Will Bring me Back to World of Warcraft
I’m a World of Warcraft addict, and admitting I have a problem is the first step. Fortunately, I’ve been on the wagon for awhile now — but that could change tomorrow, when Blizzard announces the next expansion! Considering the last expansion — Warlords of Draenor — was kind of a bust, and that Warcraft has a huge movie coming out next summer, this new expansion could be a pretty big deal.
Especially since the latest numbers have them bleeding subscribers!
But will it be enough to bring me back into the fold? I avoided Warlords like the plague, and most of the discussion I see online has been negative. So Blizzard has a lot of good will they need to make up. Will they go all out with a huge expansion with new characters, lands and tons of content? Will they pop out a quickie expansion that ties into the movie? The game is still going strong after 10 years, but the players didn’t seem to like Warlords, so Blizzard has their work cut out for them.
But I’m only concerned about myself, and I’m not a player who cares about end-game content like raids or PvP Join me after the jump for a bit of speculation on the new expansion, and six new additions to the game that would probably convince me to re-enlist!
The Orcs in Warcraft Are Going to Look Amazing!
I have been a Warcraft fan since the very first strategy game way back in the 90s. And since then, I’ve also been a huge orc fan (For the Horde!). So I have been excited about every bit of news coming out on the upcoming Warcraft movie, because the filmmakers sound determined to make the orcs as compelling in the film as they are in the game.
We can finally see the fruits of their labor with the first really good looks as Orgrim Doomhammer, the lead orc in the movie. Check this guy out!
Warrior born!
The pictures debuted on Wired.
The level of detail is astounding! Warcraft has always had amazing, computer-generated cut scenes. If they can bring that level of detail to the movie, and up its game to cinematic levels, we could be looking at some gorgeous CGI characters.
Here’s a better look at Orgrim.
“Lok’tar ogar!”
That’s actor Robert Kazinsky under that CGI, which they molded to match his face. You may remember him as the angry Jaeger pilot in Pacific Rim.
Everything I’ve seen and heard about the Warcraft movie so far has been amazing. I’ve definitely got my hopes up. You can check out some of the previous reveals here.
