Alright, so maybe she's only picked it up after
almost five years of the game being out, but it looks like actress
Eliza Dushku has started to play
World of Warcraft. The actress, who broke into the nerd radar when she played a renegade Slayer in Joss Whedon's Buffy, tweeted yesterday
asking her followers whether she should roll Alliance or Horde. The tweet made a small ripple across the nerdverse. The Dollhouse star, whose new show is
getting pummeled in the ratings, received a number of responses on Twitter, most of them telling her to roll a Horde Blood Elf. We certainly hope she bucks the trend, though...
Dear Eliza,
Please roll a female Tauren Druid.
Sincerely,
Zach
Dushku isn't the first actress or celebrity to publicly reveal a geeky side, and certainly not the first, uh, cryogenically-challenged female to play the game. There's
Mila Kunis from That 70's Show, Guild creator and star
Felicia Day, or even gaming event staple
Kat Hunter, so the actress' firing up
WoW probably isn't
that big a deal. I mean, it's really okay to be geeky. There's nothing to it. Even
girls play video games. It's also stipulated in the nerd handbook that we should play them in our underwear. The Chewbacca one.
