Maybe Mr. T is Pretty Handy With Computers
Let’s face it: Blizzard knows how to make the next generation commercial. They’ve set the bar with this latest series of ads, and I think sooner than later, other companies (and apparently, presidential campaigns!) will begin jumping on the bandwagon. I guess someone finally realized that 9 million spend-happy WoW players has got to be worth targeting!
So they morphed William Shatner into a Tauren Shaman, Mr. T. into his Night Elf “Mohawk”, and most recently, Verne Troyer (Mini-Me) into a Gnome Mage! Seriously, what’s next?!
I’ll tell you what’s next.
Chuck Norris. That’s what’s next. It better be. No, it has to be. So, just shoot the darned commercial already (or, better yet, air it during the Superbowl, so we nerds, geeks, and dweebs can finally be considered truly ‘mainstream’ – w00t!). I’ll even take it a step further. I’d say the smart money has him portraying a Human Rogue. Can we get the Vegas odds-makers on this?! Come on!
Here are some of my predictions for future commercials:
Human Rogue – Chuck Norris (you wait and see)
Hunter – Ted Nugent
Warlock – Kevin Smith (see: digital Jedi)
Priest - Stephen Baldwin
Druid – Matthew McConaughey
Paladin – Steven Seagal… or Star Wars Kid.
Hello? ActivisionBlizzard? Can you hear me? If you can, I think I know a guy that would simply be the perfect hire for your marketing department! *Cough* me *Cough* Seriously, let’s make it happen.
Did you know, that if you PvP kill Chuck Norris in WoW, FBI agents show up to your house and deport you to Singapore? Oh wait, that’s right. Chuck Norris can’t die in WoW. He feeds off the souls of the fallen.
