The best of WoW Insider: September 16-23, 2008

Yes, motorbikes have made it into Azeroth -- in the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion, engineers will be able to make Harleys, and anyone who can get their hands on one will be able to drive it (though getting your hands on one might not be so easy). But that's not the only big news floating around sister site WoW Insider this week -- check the links below for news about Brewfest, Azeroth's favorite drinking (and ram riding) holiday.

Here comes countless George Thorogood and the Destroyers' "Bad to the Bone" music videos and the impending Wild Hogs machinima remakes.

I'd rather have Highway Star, myself.

Granted, the song is about a car, not a bike...

World of WarCraft biker gangs?

Is it just me or is WoW the new Disaster Movie considering all these pointless pop culture references?

Shader @ Sep 24th 2008 5:32AM

Wow has always been full of pointless pop culture refrences. I just can't beleive that those still playing this game aren't bored to death of the endless grinding.

Thordon @ Sep 24th 2008 5:24AM

I'm surprised they haven't added an "OCC" or "West Coast Choppers" logo yet. Maybe they are still in the bidding phase?

It does appear to be getting a little ridiculous.

The comment system is getting more fucked up. Atm, I can only see mine and Thordon's reply right after it but as soon as I reload, Shaders comment will magically squeeze in between the two.

Seriously Joystiq, do SOMETHING about it!

To further prove this, look at the times of Shaders' and Thordon's comments...Shaders's comment was posted ten minutes later yet somehow he is first :'(

QUICK, WE NEED A BACK TO THE FUTURE REFERENCE!
