One of my favorite things about
World of Warcraft is how much culture seeps into the game. I don't mean the influences of Asian architecture in
Moonglade, or the Native American aesthetic of the
Tauren race. I mean the references to
internet memes,
pop culture, and
literature. These little things always make me smile, and they're one of the many things I missed during the 17 days I played
Aion last year. Eastern games might have been where I found my
first love, but it's Blizzard's flair and style that turned me on to American game development. In fact, those little jokes are a lot like a warm blanket that keeps me toasty warm on those chilly nights...
But do you know what's better than an ordinary blanket?
Friends at Blizzard, please hear me out. Do you see the image above? I want one. I want one like I want a
Slap Chop or a
Bedazzler. I want to
get on my Snuggie in the
World of Warcraft. I want one for the whole guild. It would be perfect for those
drafty raid instances! My ordinary tabard just doesn't keep me warm from head to toe... Okay, my absurdity level is getting out of hand.
