World of Warcraft Knows How to Make a Villain
The final patch for the WoW expansion Mists of Pandaria is coming out…soon? I think? To prepare, the good people at Blizzard put together this neat little trailer for the Siege of Orgrimmar! I love the animation in these things.
Would it have been too much to have Thrall show up at the end? Still, awesome trailer. The WoW animations just look fantastic, I think. And that is definitely a successful build-up to the big bad guy.
For those who don’t know, the villain there is Garrosh Hellscream, the current and corrupt Warchief of the Horde. After discovering the lost continent of Pandaria, Hellscream went power mad and unlocked the dark secrets of the continent, in order to turn them into weapons to take over the world. Now it will be up to the players to band together and assault the Horde capital of Orgrimmar, which has been one of the game’s major locations since World of Warcraft began. So basically this is a pretty big deal.
It may also mark the end of my current run of WoW…at least until the next expansion.
