The Internet has had a strange, creepy preoccupation with pandas for a very long time. Granted, it’s nowhere near as pervasive as the cat fixation, but it’s formidable nonetheless. However, Blizzard may have single-handedly turned pandas into an embarrassing punch line, rather than their former status as a huggable punch line. Over the weekend, Blizzard released a few of the details about their upcoming World of Warcraft expansion pack, Mists of Pandaria: “Players have been asking to see the pandaren in World of Warcraft since the game’s launch, and we’re excited to finally be able to give them a proper re-introduction to Azeroth,” said Mike Morhaime, president and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment. “In addition to the new playable race and class, Mists of Pandaria contains a huge amount of new content, and we’re looking forward to sharing more information about all of it at BlizzCon and beyond.” 
Wait. Pet battles? Did Blizzard just invent Pokémon? 
As an added bonus, the manipulative super geniuses at Blizzard have promised to include a free copy of Diablo III for anyone who signs up for a year’s worth of Kung Fu Panda action. By Josh Engen |
