Spooncraft

Ahem. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I am taking this DIRECTLY from World of Raids. There isn’t much else to say, Csulok did a great job putting the article together and it’s damn near flawless. The voice acting Blizzard has set up for Brann is a little… shitty; but this is really REALLY good stuff.
Consider my [...]

Here are a few screenshots (now that the NDA is completely lifted and my guilt asuaged) of some Alliance lore stuff going down in the Winterguard Catacombs.

I really like Christie Golden’s writing. She does an amazing job with the Horde lore and is possibly one of the main driving factors that helped me make the decision to come back to the Horde fulltime 100%. Not to say that the Alliance is bad or evil or full of morons (though Eredar seems [...]

I’ve been meaning to talk about this for a while. Varian Wrynn. The guy is badass. He’s the Alliance version of Thrall basically. You learn about him in some of the novels and the comic book series is pretty much his story. I love the fact that Blizzard is taking lore to a new level [...]

Yeah that’s right ladies & gentlemen, time to get wet because we’re finally going to get ourselves a taste of the Ashbringer.

The World of Warcraft Comic Book by Wildstorm has received great acceptance by fans of the World of Warcraft MMO and by newcomers to the series. The Ongoing series tells the story of an [...]

We haven’t begun to see the vast content that Blizzard has lined up for Northrend, but one thing I noticed is that it seems like all the Alliance bases and such are pretty much well defined and fleshed out strongholds and the Horde towns are not nearly as prepared for the fight.
Understandably there were human [...]

30 Seconds in Stormwind Harbor from Kenzi on Vimeo.

Is it Arthas? Is it Ner’zhul? I always figured it’s a new entity all together only known as the Lich King.
Before Arthas donned the Lich King’s armor, it was the spirit of the former Orc Shaman Ner’zhul who’s soul was attached to the armor and then imprisoned (physically) inside the Frozen Throne. Now Arthas and [...]

So I figure this is going to be a long post. I’ll break it up into about 3 different articles to make it easier for you all to keep track of everything. So in the past 24 hours I’ve been asked a few times about what my thoughts are on the next expansion. Not so [...]

Alright time for a little lore wanking. As I’ve stated ten thousand times already, I am a very large lore freak. Akin to the kind of people yiffing at comic conventions over cat ears, lore just gives me a reason to enjoy playing the game. There’s a poll going on right now and the grand [...]

There’s tons of buzz going around about the new expansion, Warth of the Lich King. I am obviously enthralled and deeply in love with this expansion. Maybe it’s the fanboy in me crying out for attention but the whole Outlands thing struck me as not Warcrafty. I mean I’m breathing and flying in outer space [...]

I would have to say that to some degree this is true. People think of let’s say a hunter, they think ok dwarf or nightelf. But there really isn’t any specific tie in with classes and their race in a limiting kind of way. Sure there are restrictions in the gameplay and frankly in common [...]

This here (with my added comments) is the official Blizzard lore surrounding the new Sunwell Plateau area being released in Patch 2.4. The original deal can be read at their site which I reported yesterday, but I noticed there are some things that are kind of new and yet not unfamiliar in the explanation.

With all the new revelations in lore coming with patch 2.4, I thought this would be a good time to highlight something that most players are going to overlook. The Blood Knights.
First off let’s get a little background to the whole thing, this means we rewind back to the beginning of the burning crusade when [...]

This is it folks, the last part of my Burning Crusade summary. Obviously there’s been a lot of omissions as the story has many different elements that can branch off in themselves so for the sake of argument, this entire deal has just been a summary of the major points and goings on in the [...]

Goooooooood morning, Vietnam! Hey, this is not a test! This is rock and roll! Time to rock it from the Delta to the D.M.Z.!
It’s March 3rd and Spooncraft has been live for a month now and going strong. A major thank you going out to the wonderful folks of Fight Club, Novus Ordo Seclorum, and [...]

Welcome back to part 2 of my Burning Crusade breakdown. You can catch up with the first part here.
So we adventurers and powerful heroes of the Horde and Alliance are spreading through all of Outland with the Dark Portal taken. Eventually we make it to Shattrath city where A’dal leads the forces of the light [...]

This time on loregasm we’re going to get a little in depth as to what this entire expansion has been about. Why exactly are we in Outland? More importantly how is it that Illidan and all these other freaks are running around being all emo in said Outland? But even more interesting would be [...]

Yeah, just like Bear Cavalry you’re pretty much fscked. I’m just kidding really this place looks completely and utterly badass. This ladies and gents is the Grizzly Hills. Homeland of the Furbolgs! Checking out the Wrath homepage or going to the WoW homepage as well can lead you to a short video and few screenshots [...]

Loregasm is another section I will update as much as possible. I am a major freakishly obsessed lore buff with the Warcraft universe; whenever my friends or guild mates have a question they refer to me as the “Rickipedia” of warcraft lore and I oblige with joy to answer them.
Patch 2.4 is upon us [...]
