Born To Be Wild



Azeroth Choppers, 8 Episodes of utter garbage. The kind of nonsense Television that the USA revels in. Pimp my Motorbike would have niche viewing figures in single digits in the UK and I expect that the rest of Europe is equally interested.

The concept was to design, and assemble two motorbikes that are Warcraft themed, one for the Horde and one for the Alliance. For the sting in the tail there was going to be a worldwide vote and the winning Chopper will appear in the game.

Now here is were everything gets a little murky and if anything Blizzard have deliberately muddied the waters. Is the vote on the best looking Chopper, or is it this contest between Horde and Alliance? Does everybody get the Chopper, or just characters of the winning faction?

In my opinion the best Chopper is the Horde but I have only Alliance characters, for which team do I vote. Worldwide the Alliance heavily outnumbers the Horde, so how can the Horde ever win if this is a faction competition?

As everybody knows who has ever played the game, that Blizzard loves Horde. It is a minority mindset, we are less in numbers but stronger in adversity. It was laughed at when the teams were first announced that  Horde Warchief Metzen was going to represent the Alliance, whilst the gravelly voiced "For the Horde" Samwise Didier was going to represent the Horde.

This was one vote that was always going to be as democratic as a North Korean Election. Everybody knew the result without watching Episode 8. The result was so rigged that nobody even commented on the Horde winning. It was a 100% turnout and the Horde received 100% of the vote. There was however one dissenter, but he is not the messiah he is a very naughty boy and will be punished accordingly.
