WoW Fans Pick Apart South Park Episode

You can always count on the hardcore for a laugh.

When Matt Stone and Trey Parker decided to take aim at World of Warcraft, the move seemed to be made with Blizzard’s blessing. The duo parodied the WoW phenomenon incredibly well, and, unsurprisingly, fans paid attention to every detail.

In fact, this morning, digg pointed to a Wikipedia article where WoW fans pointed out incredibly minor mistakes and inconsistences made during the episode. If there was ever a WTF moment for the week, this is it.

Check out a few choice samples:

“He [Randy] incorrectly suggests that he is a hunter.”

“Cartman’s character is the main tank and wields an Unyielding Maul. He is the leader of the boys’ group and is always the last killed. His armor color is the same as his jacket. He is a warrior, but when you see his actionbar, it looks like a Rogues actionbar (It has Eviscrate and Stealth).”

“Trailers for this episode show Stan and Kyle in what appears to be the Undercity, right after Kenny is killed. In the airing of the show, they were in Goldshire.”

“When Randy gives Stan the Sword of 1000 Truths, he is able to talk to Stan even though Stan isn’t using his headset microphone — although the animators used headsets as a visual clue that the boys were communicating via the computer, headsets are not the only way to communicate via PC. There could be a desktop mic or one built in to the monitor, etc.”

“This guy’s character is shirtless and wears a helmet, boots and gloves. EDIT: He is seen casting Fire Blast and Arcane Explosion in Westfall(mage only spells). However, summoning scorpions is not possible with a Mage.”

My head hangs in a bizarre combination of shame and awe.
