Under a Gibbous Moon

I’ve been meaning to do this one for a while but I haven’t gotten around to it because it involved a trip to the Outland and I hate the Outland.

The Burning Crusade is the first expansion for World of Warcraft and was released back in 2007, several years before the train wreck of a movie, Avatar, was released (yes, it had special effects but they were just lipstick on a bloated three hour pig of a movie).

After having seen the movie and playing through the Outland, I have noticed some interesting similarities.

Remember the otherwordly blue jungle of Pandora?

In World of Warcraft, it’s called Zangarmarsh.

And the climatic battle among the floating rocks?

It’s a lot like Nagrand.

And finally, the blue cat people with tentacle hair? (By the way, a google image search comes up with way too much cat people porn, shame on you.)

Meet the Draenei, blue goat people with tentacle hair.

Neat, huh?

Filed in the category of bad ideas.

It’s not as apparent from the picture because of the flash but the stream is quite yellow.

From least to most dangerous.

There’s a D&D monster in there somewhere.
