Now my loathing of all things pixie is well documented. Just the mention of elven folk and wizards is enough to send me into apoplectic spasms.
Yet I bought Warcraft III on a whim. Some say I will never learn, whilst others applaud my open-mindedness at all things fairy (in both senses of the word).
You can be 4 races:
Humans (great, do that anyway)
Orcs (bordering on pixie, but big and angry)
Undead (yes, Romero heaven awaits)
Elves (no. NO NO NO NO, DIE BIG GAY MAGIC PIXIES)
It's also an RTS. Which soon, despite initial goodness, soon deteriote into:
Build base/gather resources/build army/build more army/bumrush nearest town in swarms of army.
But WC III doesn't do this. You're limited to 90 units. Resource gathering is a doddle, send some dumb-ass acolytes to worship at a gold mine and send a few minions off to chop trees - leave 'em to it.
But here's the thing that makes this one of the best RTS/RPG games out there.
I got to kill many many elves.
Finally, a childhood ambition realised.
I loaded for bear and completely annihilated the Elven villages, people, resources and homes. You dont have to destroy their houses, but I did it anyway.
Because I hate Elves & Pixies.
To send out legions of Dragons to murder little pointy-eared hippy magicians felt really really good.
But the best was yet to come.
The Elven Priestess (Bangshwap of Thringmor or 'tard name) decided to show some hair and stand up to my Undead Horde.
So I killed every single Elf I could see and enslaved her as my Undead Beeyatch.
YES!
The murder of many elves AND I get an Elf-Queen to be ma ho.
Best game ever.

Sounds a good enough reason for me to get it too :)
This hate for magic Pixes Mr Goatboy... are you sure your not hiding your true sexuality?
Sounds fun

Nowt to do with my liking of Greek Sailors.
It's the nerdy fanboys at Forbidden Planet and fantasy conventions that curdle my blood.
Stop reading books about tree-ghosts and get laid.
It is a good game if you
(a) Hate Elves
(b) Hate resource gathering
(c) Like smashing houses up with dragons
(d) Like smashing houses up with ghouls
(e) Enslaving High Elf women as your lapdogs.

Damn I just realised where your tag-line came from :-)
The Princess Bride rocks.
"There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. 'Twould be a pity to damage yours."
