Good for a laugh, would like to see more of them.

Sunday, August 14th, 2011Will You Play a Goblin?
Sunday, December 5th, 2010If you haven’t considered the new goblin race, you might want to give it a chance before you write it off. The new goblin race may appeal to those of us out there with a real snarky, sarcastic sense of humor. The goblins are evil little bastards, that’s for sure, but they also have a lot of comic to them. I’m not sure if I’d call them comic relief for the seriousness of the horde (as they’ve been called), but I might consider them to be like a maniacally insane person who cackles with glee as they march out toward certain death.
Regardless, they get cool toys as racials. Probably the coolest racial toys of any race, ever. Yes, worgen form is a pretty neat toy, but goblins basically get engineering perks from the beginning. You can see some of the ‘things’ they get in the video below, I think it does a decent job of explaining what kind of things the goblins like to play with. However, if you want the details in writing of what exactly they get, make sure and check out this article called “Why go Goblin?”
The End of an Era

Apparently I caved on the whole emblems thing in favor of getting a wand.
This is the first time I have let my precious PvP-for-years-only mage dirty her fingertips with Northrend PvE.. /sigh.
Ah well, it’s for the best. Who knows, maybe I’ll even off-spec her for raiding or something. For some reason she ended up getting suckered into organizing a 25man VoA… don’t know how that happened.
Got this one at the same time:
The Poor Gnome
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009I was reading this pretty awesome post on why it is that the new anniversary mosaic thing Blizz is doing has mostly Horde responding (by a big margin). The general outlay of the post is, why do Horde players have so much pride in being Horde where Alliance players don’t seem as willing to jump up and scream their faction out.
Anyway, while there are many ideas tossed around in the thread (many of which are totally on mark as possibilities, including the ‘Alliance need a good battlecry’ argument) the thing that actually caught my attention was a comment in response to someone saying the Horde are the underdogs [bold emphasis mine]:
Gnomes are my favorite race, and if anything, we are the true underdogs of Azeroth. Our goddam king sits outside the subway station like a bum, being destroyed by whichever Horde raid decides to wander through to kill Magi. Not to mention all the I love eating Gnomes + /punt jokes…
I laughed until I cried. Makes me want to go work on my Gnome because it’s so true!
