The History of Warcraft: GameTrailers Goes Retrospective

Fahey over at Kotaku is, like me, a huge fan of WoW. He was pissed because I went to the WWI and got [Tyrael's Hilt], I was pissed cause he went to BlizzCon. We're equal. Anyway he's just posted about this amazing restrospective that GameTrailers has created to mark the release of The Wrath of the Lich King.

Part one is above and, oh boy, is it cool! We've got the humble beginnings, the lore, the history, the RTS' and even Warcraft Adventures. I can't wait for part two!

EDIT: Added part two.

Quirky Facts About Lesley

Lesley hates the smell of almonds.

She is terrified of zombies and, despite loving horror films, is deeply unsettled by the idea of a zombie-themed apocalypse.

Lesley doesn't have a Wikipedia page but she does want one.

Her pet hates include: outsourced technical support, book-keeping, updating her website, bedroom editors (fanboys who set up websites and call themselves journalists), undead rogues, Tauren Boomkins and the Royal Mail 'handling charge' for items shipped from outside the UK.

Lesley has been writing fiction since she was ten, it's also how she taught herself to touch-type.

Along with other members of her family, she was born with Neurofibromatosis, type 1 (Nf1).

Lesley plays World of Warcraft a lot and has a Night Elf Druid named Serisa (GM of The Keepers of Lore) on EU-Daggerspine.

She loves technology and 'shiny' gadgets in the same way other women like shoes.

Lesley's tipple of choice is cider, preferably vintage, from Devon or France.

Her ambitions include swimming with dolphins and becoming a published author (as opposed to a published journalist).

She is one of the shortest video games journalists in the UK, standing at a mere 5ft 1".

Lesley can be recognised by her white cane, nicknamed The Sightsaber, and her habit of dressing in black whatever the season. She is not a goth or an emo.

A Pagan, Lesley was born on Samhain. Her family find this amusing, she finds it appropriate.

Her favourite colour is blue but she also likes rainbows and stained glass.

Lesley has a thing for stationary and likes to buy blank journals, what gets written in them is anyone's guess as she prefers to type (it's more orderly).

She has been mistaken for a PR person and a court usher.

Lesley lives with an ancient ginger 'kitten' called Jerry, better known as The Ginger One. He's eighteen years old and something of a family heirloom, having had four owners including her.
