wonder if they'll make 79 sequels? one for each XP LVL I can just see the first one, the quest to kill 20 sheep

;)

Yes, I'm sure the screenplay will be riveting. Uther the Lightbringer and young Arthas Menethil are arguing over what to do about the infected population of Stratholme who will soon join Kel'thuzad's Scourge forces when all of a sudden they decide they should carry out their task by first searching for 5 (not 4, not 6, but 5) infected grain crates, which are conveniently located on the way to Stratholme and are shimmering with particles to indicate their infected status.

Not that I'm bitter about running Heroic Culling of Stratholme for that god damned bronze drake mount or anything.

My Quick Picks for roles in this movie.

Verne Troyer as a gnome rogue.

Angelina Jolie as some kind of Night Elf Priestess (so geeks around the world can continue their masturbatory fantasies)

Bruce Campbell as the Human Mage (for sheer badassedness)

John Rhys-Davies as a Dwarf Warrior (cmon, he had Gimli nailed)

Wouldn't the last pick be a form of type-casting? ;-)
