Wowabunga!
There’s one thing, only one, that has been bugging me from the very start of WoW. The turtles. Don’t get me wrong - I love them bulky little fellas and in my somewhat nooby first year of WoW I used these ones on a regular basis, even in raids! (I finally came to my senses and switched to a raptor though.) I went on epic adventures to collect different colors of them and named them after my own turtles at home. As a leatherworker I crafted the whole Turtle Scale armor set, and searched for other additional turtle gear, such as the Band of the Great Tortoise you get from Tooga in Tanaris. As you probably have noticed, I was a huge turtles-nerd.
- The shell only covers the turtle’s back.Wrong! My grandmother once said with a disappointed look on her face when she saw my own turtle: “Oh, I thought I could pat it on its belly.” The shell surrounds the turtle.
- Turtles have teeth. Wrong! Both turtles and tortoises have sharp beaks.
- Turtles are peaceful. The turtles are in WoW, with few exceptions non-hostile, but the fact is that these creatures think that most things are food and snap after it. They can even eat themselves to death!
What are these creatures? The question is even more confusing now, since Blizzard added sea turtles in Cataclysm. Should they represent the opposite of the former turtles? If that's the case, does this actually mean that they're tortoises living the life of a turtle? WHAT ARE THEY?! Will we ever know?
EDIT (25/3): Found this the other day! :D

A dearth of ideas
Woah, the deadline for the upcoming warcraft comic is within the week and I completely lack ideas. It’s one of those times when you can actually hear the emptiness in your brain, with the sound of echoes while tapping on one’s head.

Bananas
As a start I want to give you my opinion of the evergoing subject “Horde is evil! No Alliance is evil!”
We can clearly see the trend of old Horde heroes from the past games that’ve become big bad bosses in WoW. I’m talking about Zul’Jin and Cho’gall from Tides of Darkness, not to mention that Deathwing, the additional hero in the WC2 expansion set Beyond the Dark Portal, will most likely be the finale in Cataclysm. Horde and Alliance are both factions containing different races and nations. The thing with horde is that their allies and pacts during the years, such as Mannaroth for example, have been questionable. “Allies come and allies go. That’s politics." – quote from Valeera Sanguinar in the official WoW comics.
Can Fandral Staghelm be sorted in this category? I guess so – but can you really compare the status and awesomeness between a non-playable guy sitting in a tree for six years in WoW and a guy like Zul’jin? That’s up to you to decide. To meet up with these big names in my book, an old hero like Turalion would have to do something drastic. Also the status on Sylvanas sister, Alleria from WC2, says: “missing in action”. Can we expect to see her again? As a boss that’ve finally returned in Cataclysm? The answer is no, because people don’t wanna see nice ordinary humans, elves, dwarves and gnomes as big fat final bosses. We want see evil trolls, scary big ogres and dangerous dragons. Why do you think Blizzard chose Saurfang to be a boss in ICC and not Bolvar Fordragon? The fact is, despite what people say – Horde has less morale than Alliance. That’s the whole point with Horde. They are our very contrast, that’s what makes them cool. That’s at least the reason why I like them.
So to sum this up... I’m totally looking forward to watch Garrosh go bananas in the next expansion.
