Wow! It's an expansion to WOW

Lore Sjöberg puts on his slobbering fanboy hat to preview the newest expansion to the World of Warcraft:

The new World of Warcraft expansion is just around the corner, and people are atwitter with anticipation. Two new playable races! A whole new continent! Flying mounts! So many things to argue about! Some players are already composing long screeds about which of the new races sucks more, leaving places to fill in details as they become available.

The expansion is called "The Burning Crusade," which sounds like a U2 album. The new races are the Dranei — which sounds like Greek for "plumbers" — and the Blood Elves, which sound like the coolest thing ever if you're 14. The new continent is called Outland, which would sound goofy even if it wasn't a failed comic strip. The flying mounts are called Nether Drakes, which sounds like some sort of fetish that didn't exist before the web, probably involving Donald Duck and crotchless panties.
