World of Warcraft: Born Into Dry Heat

IGN PC continues their set of articles that explore the four Horde races in World of Warcraft, with the second installment detailing the Orc. It’s called “Born Into Dry Heat”, with a snippet to follow:

As a warrior, there’s a certain level of rage that comes into play when battling foes. Even most of the weak creatures in the world can understand the anger that comes from someone sticking you with a dagger or chewing on your hand. Thankfully, I’ve been trained to channel that blinding rage into constructive… em, destruction. Pour that power into a rending blow that will cause my enemy to bleed, a powerful stroke, a mighty demoralizing shout, hamstring an enemy, or smash them in the face with my shield. These are the weapons of a true warrior. Let the rage build and unleash it! Thankfully I have lots of rage because of mayonnaise, Ben Affleck, and come-over haircuts.

After beating on several different indigenous creatures, I moved my way to fighting off the lingering influence of Daemons in our heritage. We orcs don’t appreciate being told what to do and where to go anymore, especially when it’s other orcs trying to tell us to do these things. One group in particular, the Burning Blade, has managed to cause some serious problems in Durotar and the area to the west known as The Barrens. It was my pleasure to extinguish some fires.
