The Weekly Main Event: Razorfen Kraul

You know, I like things with cool names. That's why every time I log in, I take a moment to admire my priest, because honestly, could you have a cooler name for a bad guy than Zarkon? I think not. Even Trogdor pales in comparison. Even if you give him the title of Burninator.

You know what else has a cool name? Razorfen Kraul. It's scary--and sort of German. You might even be able to convince people that it was the name of Hitler's bunker. It may even be possible to convince people in Barrens chat that Hitler is the final boss of the instance. People are dumb--after all, people in Barrens assert the superiority of Chuck Norris to Jack Bauer all of the time. I weep for our future.

But you know what has a dumb name? The Quillboar. Honestly people, Quillboar sounds like the brand of pen that Thomas Jefferson penned the Declaration of Independence with. I mean, when given your choice of quill pens, would you choose 'Dove Quill' or 'Quillboar?' These men survived Valley Forge. They sure as hell are taking the Quillboar. It's manly. I bet you could convince people in Barrens chat that TJ only wrote with Engineer's Ink, a Quillboar pen and a kobold's candle for light.

Come to think of it, Quillboar is actually a pretty cool name... for a pen. But for a flipping pig with spines? We call dem Razorbacks. Instead they're called the Razormane or something dumb like that.

So Wednesday night, we set forth to eradicate the Germans from Razorfen Kraul. And we do so with a general whose name makes Patton sound like a wussy.

I'm done. I'm ready to go forth and conquer my property outline for the next 29 hours. And maybe sleep somewhere along the way.
