Did anyone notice the human model used for Chuck Norris' in-game "counterpart" looks different?

Not sure if the model is updated much, but the hairstyle is definitely new.

I recently posted up an article called: "Why are there no Gnomes in SWTOR" comparing some of WoW's non-human races and the race options will have in SWTOR. Not entirely WoW related, but some links!

In an unprecedented announcement, McDonalds Inc. stated in a press release today that McOnline will launch on April 1, 2012, much to the disgust of its fans. "We have always ripped-off our supporters, so we did exactly as they have been asking," Mr. Ronald McDonald stated to us this morning. "We've always said we would not launch until the game was cheap enough to mass produce. -- now it is, available in along with a Big Mac combo!!"

Unfortunately for those of you living in Sweden, you will not see the game on store shelves until 2014. To make up for this delay, the developers have planned a pre-release party in Stockholm, Sweden on July 9. The game's Big Kahuna, Ronald McDonald, said, "Of course, we don't like people in that country, otherwise we would have released the game in all countries at the same time. Why do you think the Swedes aren't getting the game at all?"

For everyone else, grab your spatula, put on your hairnet, and get ready to flip your enemy's burger. Hail to the Burger King!....wait.

On a side note, where is that screenshot for this article taken?? Was it a photoshop special or is there actually a treasure trove like that in game?

Sadly, I didn't get my latest issue of GRATS! up in time ( I know I post issues few and VERY far between), but there's a new issue up tonight!

Could it possibly be then that Shamans were influenced by Monks in real life?

I'm just noting the similarities of Thrall's costume to that of monks in other video games like Street Fighter, Samurai Showdown, and many many others.

Heck, even Blizzard's own Monk (http://us.blizzard.com/diablo3/characters/monk.xml) has a number of striking visual similarities to Thrall's look. You cannot deny that.

Posted about Thrall's new look on my blog as well:

SInce Thrall looks more like a monk, does this mean that Monks (Runemasters) may be considered for a hero class at some point?

Must have just missed the call, GRATS! Issue 8 is also up and available on ITG:

Oh, I forgot to add to my comment: I am a HUGE fan of Guilded Age.

It truly shows each issue the sheer amount of effort and creativity that comes from the three creators. You have to truly appreciate the skill for the art style alone. Great use of texture and line!

Thanks very much for the linkage Amanda! Really appreciate it.
