So tempted to start a character on an RP server and see what it's like.
it isn't every day a fan gets a chance to directly confront their idols. And more often than not, such an encounter usually results in blank stares, forgotten questions, uncomfortable compliments, and possibly a signed body part.
But when one big-time world of warcraft fan (currently known only as "the red shirt guy") stepped up to the mic during a q&a session at the recent blizzcon fan expo, he managed to not only ask the right question, but earn the respect of thousands of players by schooling two of the game's developers on a botched piece of fiction.
Monotone voice, encyclopedic knowledge of warcraft's universe...yeah, safe to say he's a robot. Or a mandroid. Either way, he's gotten props from gamers for having the nerve -- and the know-how -- to verbally spar with blizzard.
"good for him! It probably took a lot to get himself up to that microphone and to speak in a clear voice like that," said commenter diamond drogg on kotaku. "and showing the devs how it's done, to boot."
youtube commenter 7lip agrees.
"as someone who has played through every single warcraft game, and genuinely loves the storyline, this kid is my hero."
for those not versed in the intricacies of warcraft lore (*meekly raises hand*), the red shirt guy's question concerns the status of the character falstad wildhammer. Apparently, falstad's appearance in the world of warcraft book "the shattering" -- a prelude to the coming warcraft game expansion, cataclysm -- indicates that he's sitting on a certain council, while the designers mistakenly believed the character to be long dead. Whoops! Guess keeping track of a fantasy franchise as massive as warcraft isn't as easy as it looks.
Hiring, blizzard?
i bought mine in january, didnt have the luxury to wait. it was x5 or a cayenne, and porsche is just too douche of a brand for me
You do know its all make believe, right?
So let me get this right, you don't have any interest in fiction? You're a non-fiction only kind of guy eh? When stories get changed around and abused they lose the initial "magic" that attracted a person to them in the first place. Blizzard, specifically Metzen, has done this over and over and over again simply because they're lazy. They don't care to look back and make sure everything lines up. It makes it very hard to be a fan and follow the "story." You know, like when you get into a good book series.
To the guy asking about the RP server, they're miserable. The most I've contributed to an RP server has been through Exiles of Blackrock.
They've fucked up the lore in Warcraft so much with the expansions any fan of the series should be annoyed. They've straight re-written stuff because they forgot what they wrote about before. Meh, imo they look like idiots not this guy.
LOL, no, thats what makes fiction fiction, you know, the fact its not true and not pinned down.
Meh, the problem with the lore probably relates to those books they put out. I'm wondering who actually comes up with the main points in the story. Does Metzen (one of the guys on that video) lay down what happens and the writers then flesh out the nitty-gritty?
.
That's usually how those books work. Whoever is in charge of the meta-plot (Metzen when it comes to WoW) generally lays out the major plot points and characters and the Author makes up the rest. Which can lead to certain things being mixed up and if parts of the story are considered not canon or not etc.
looks like he got a character in game in his honor

He probably jizzed in his pants when he saw that.
Dude needs to get out more and interact with people. Real people. In person. Not Lol'ing online and other stupidity.
And hit the gym. And smoke some weed. And have fun. In real life. Not fake fun online.
After getting shown up by a super fan who pointed out a flaw in their game's continuity, World of Warcraft developer Blizzard could have taken their lumps in stride, chalking up their fiction foible as a simple oversight, and moved on with no further mention of the incident.
Instead, the ace game makers proved why they enjoy such a rabid following by paying their newly famous critic the highest honor imaginable: he's now a character in the game.
The new character, cleverly named "Wildhammer Fact Checker," can be found standing right next to none other than Falstad Wildhammer -- the very hero whose health status flummoxed the game's designers at the recent BlizzCon expo. Clothed in a red tunic as a nod to the Red Shirt Guy's preferred choice of garb, the Fact Checker is no hoax, having been confirmed by the game's lead designer, Alex Afrasiabi, on the official Warcraft forums. Awesome? Completely.
The Red Shirt Guy himself has also been busy. In response to thousands of comments about his odd voice and mannerisms, the suddenly famous gamer posted a video explanation in which he revealed that, in addition to being nervous as heck during the Q&A, he also suffers from Asperger's Syndrome.
"That's partially why my voice sounded so robotic," he says. "Fortunately, I have a mild to minor case, so it's not as bad as some might be."
Passionate, fearless, smart. Forget the fact checking -- this super fan just got one of his own.
