Gamestop makes another funny

by Mike Schramm Nov 9th 2008 at 2:00PM

Whoever writes the descriptions for Gamestop and EB Games is quite the joker -- we already reported on their hidden little note for the early preview, but now that we're getting closer and closer to the Wrath of the Lich King release, they've posted another funny on the preview page.

This time, they're making fun of the starting zones -- apparently the "Borean Tundra" is where the Packers play (chuckle), and a "Howling Fjord" is what you get when the windows of your ~~Tauren~~ Taurus are cracked open (guffaw). Cute. Just don't quit that day job of writing descriptions for Gamestop's sales pages.

Thanks, djtyrant!

Looks to me like Taurus. Which is a car.

They missed a great reference. :

that IS the reference.

The caption actually says Howling Fjord is what you get when the windows of your FORD TAURUS are cracked, not Tauren...

I honestly don't get the borean tundra joke :S

It's damned cold in Green Bay, and I think that is the reference

Lambeau Field is often referred to as, "The Frozen Tundra"

Is this an american thing? :P lol

Amaxe Nov 9th 2008 3:06PM

Yes it is an American thing, as American Football is probably not known too far afield (no idea whether the European attempt to set up a league is still in existence)

That has been the description on EBgames.com for like, the past 3 months.

Christian Nov 9th 2008 2:15PM

Drfumanchu Nov 9th 2008 2:24PM

Arkeband Nov 9th 2008 2:27PM

Hmm...

Vortok Nov 9th 2008 6:07PM

Yeah, this is super-old news. Saw that description months ago, and I don't even pay very close attention.

Minamori Nov 9th 2008 2:35PM

Maybe the Lich King is actually a new car model.

Eric Nov 9th 2008 2:40PM

Yea, Tauren != Taurus

Christian Nov 9th 2008 2:42PM

The post had nothing to do with Taurens...lol

Who cares if the jokes are weak?

I give them the win for trying :)

Most companies are so dull.

I don't know if anyone here saw, but under the preorder section of Wrath it says: Not responsible for orders delayed due to incorrect address, credit card information, official date changes or inclement weather caused by the melting of the ice caps in Northrend.

I lol'd at the last part :3
