More Lich King Details, Apologies For Burning Crusade?

Posted by Zonk on Monday October 1, 2007 @08:02AM from the because-we've-all-been-deeply-offended dept.

1up is hosting content from the most recent edition of Games For Windows magazine. The front page of that august publication features the grimacing face of Arthas, poster boy for the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion to World of Warcraft. The article inside has a bunch of new details on the game update, as well as a lengthy discussion with Blizzard's Chris Metzen on the first WoW expansion, Burning Crusade. Some of Metzen's comments along those lines are a bit surprising: "'It had a lot of high-concept ideas, high-concept environments,' he says, calling to mind the psychedelic mushrooms of Zangarmarsh, the tragic majesty of Tempest Keep, 'but other than some really nice moments, there was nothing really personal about it.'"

File this under "old news." We're already in October, Zonk. Sheesh... : p

That word you use, I do not think it means what you think it means

Uh, august isn't just the eigth month of the year:

Main Entry: august
Pronunciation: o-'g&st, 'o-(")g&st
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin augustus; akin to Latin augur
: marked by majestic dignity or grandeur

Note the lack of the capital "A", meaning he is not talking about the August issue. Poor choice of words.
