There's nothing wrong with the guy's voice, he's obviously just really nervous. I know I would be when pointing out such a simple error in such a massive game.

I would usually say this is just a lore bug that could easily be overlooked by any non-virgin, though I gotta admit, this one was made of win.

Ok, people, whenever you start to feel really nerdy, just remember: You could be this guy.
When we start to feel nerdy? As if that's a bad or dangerous thing?
I'm not saying it is, but you must also recognize the importance of balancing such things with human/worldly interaction. I'm just going to guess this young man does not. Excesses of nerdiness can be a bad thing, just like an excesses of alcohol can make you pass out, or excesses of delicious nachos will make you vomit.
And an awareness of a flaw in a universe/game-lore that he thinks is interesting is the epitome of "Too nerdy" ? Or at least an example so frightening that if we ever feel the awful nerdiness becoming too strong, we can at least look to him and find relief?
Precisely :D

Yes, it's definitely the entire developer's fault that one single higher up whos responsibilities have absolutely nothing to do with npc naming and is currently working on 3 different games doesn't exactly remember the correct name of one who hasn't been relevant since WCII(1996) and only then as a minor backstory throwaway name when that game currently has twenty thousand named characters with another load coming later this year.

Go ahead, memorize this list:

Then we'll talk about who sucks at remembering names.
jesus christ man... take a fuckin chill pill... it was joke... daamn ...

I love how Chris casually passes the ball to Alex like that.

Good on you, kid. Spotting something the Loremaster didn't.

woah!, I dont know what is it about that guy that makes me want to punch him.

Nerdiness at its lowest...
When has reading a book become something so negative to actually punch people? The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm is the name of the World of Warcraft novel by Christie Golden. Is it because of his red shirt? Or his voice?

Red Shirt Guy: I have ... I just finished reading The Shattering etc.

The way he starts speaking tells me he was more nervous than "nerdy". And who wouldn't be in front on all those people, seriously? So he likes reading WoW books, what makes reading books so bad and nerdy from other hobbies??

Ignorance at it's lowest...

QFT. I don't even play WoW, but this guy must be pretty dedicated ;).

Sad thing is that isn't nearly the nerdiest person I've seen at BlizzCon.

I gotta give a hand to this kid, I mean at some point or another we've all gotten a bit snobby with lore.

This shit brings a tear to my eye. For all those calling him a nerd, why yes he is one and quite proudly a good one at that. For those saying he puts in a bad names for nerds, shame on you! I don't care if nerds are represented as not being "hip" or "cool", they non-conform without even trying.

It's unfortunate that some of us nerds were not blessed with the ability to be socially graceful, but we must not turn our own away. For if we do are we not worse than the douche bags we resent?

Umm, I don't think it's the reading of the book, nothing wrong with reading books, everyone does it. I'm considering reading The Shattering myself because I'm pretty bored.

It's more his appearance/speech that makes him a pathetic nerd.

Fucking hell...why the fuck is everyone judging the poor guy? Its his life, his choice to live how he wants. Who the fuck do you think you are judging him? And I thought that this forum was more mature...obviously it turns out that it still has the classic examples of a bunch of judgmental fuckheads who think that they can pounce on an easy target to ridicule.

Leave him the fuck alone. He was brave enough to get up and challenge a multi-billion dollar company and say "You got this wrong." Kudos to him. Shame on the people who think that they are somehow 'better' than this guy. God shit like this fucking disgusts me.
