Tieflings are Draenai

More WoW refs. bletch.

And besides, I thought she was a gypsy...that would explain the horns.









BONUS: This post is probably too ironic for a bunch of WoW fans.

The Horde is a bunch of emos, goths and jocks.

What's an "emo"?

Anything that gets jocks and goths to play together can't be all bad...can it?

Yeah, but at least WoW didn't give the boot to another race when they introduced the draenei... :\

Hey, we ASKED them to exile the night elves to their own faction that anyone could kill, even on a PVE server, but they didn't listen.

Emo is basically the new "goth" culture kids are into these days. Though they would disagree, and say it's their own invention. But let's look at the progression as far as I see it...

In my day we had "head bangers" (listen to Metallica/Primus/MegaDeth) which turned into "grunge" (when Nirvana/Pearl Jam/STP came out) which turned into "goth" (when Marilyn Manson came out) which turned into "emo" (because of bands such as Fall Out Boy)

I think that is a pretty accurate progression to my recollection

Edit: Forgot as an honorable mention, The Cure. Also a good example of goth, though that is even before Marilyn Manson and even Metallica, in the 80s, before "goth" was a common term for that style of music/culture...

It's amazing how a few weeks of the tables turning in AV, the Horde -- who wouldn't even queue up for AV on many servers prior to cross-server battlegroups -- suddenly have all been stricken with amnesia.

Cheerfully conceded.

Wow, no.

Punk and heavy metal were both the music of empowerment: "Life sucks so I'm going to shotgun a beer, kiss your girlfriend and kick you in the jimmy."

Grunge was heavy metal's whiny little brother: "Life sucks, I'm going to write in my journal in my bedroom while listening to Eddie Vedder pretending to be a girl."

Goth, which predates Marilyn Manson by a good bit, is about owning one's own problems: "My life sucks, so I'm going to dress up nice for the funeral."

Emo is grunge reinvented, but with terrible fashion sense: "After I finish listening to Fall Out Boy, I'm going to cut my own hair."

And my own arm.

Then I'm posting the picture on my livejournal.
