Weekend Reading: The World of Warcraft King and a Broom

This is not your regular World of Warcraft news flash – it's rather the sad story of an unlucky king, a man... uhm... an undead destined for greater glory, level 50 monster hacking – a fearsome undead in the ever growing World of Warcraft – that was never meant to be. Instead, this great cavalier of the apocalypse... has a Broom. A Farmer's Broom! Oh, poor, lonely punk-blue-haired mage...

This is a true story indeed and it only exists because I have an obsession: I find brooms hilarious, especially when you can use them as weapons in a fantasy game that drives everybody crazy, like World of Warcraft. You have powerful spells, long-life friends and enemies, the Tome of the Lightbringer, the Skyshatter armor, the Crystal-Etched Warstaff and so many more possibilities in this game and yet, you have a Farmer's Broom, too.

Just the image of our colleague (and hardcore WoW fan) Chopper, pictured in the upper left corner as the undead mage, hitting his enemies with nothing else but a Farmer's Broom is a proof that there is absolutely no game in the world that can bring you as much fun as this MMO. Where are the spells, my friend, the female blood elves dancing around and singing "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me", the memory of King Terenas?

Actually, the poor fellow is certainly crying in his grave, forgetting about Arthas and everything else: that is not the right setting for a King. I mean, OK, we have the huge throne, the gigantic, ego-sucker, self confidence booster palace but there's nothing else there. Is WoW dying? Where are the others? Where are the guilds bitching around, where is the excitement? It's probably dead, since all I can see there is a lonely king WITH A BROOM! These are for cleaners, not for kings, not for those who are worthy enough to sit on Terenas' throne! And, OMG, he's only lvl 13! Honestly, now – you're not ready for The Lich King yet!
