Fashion Friday hopes to be a bi-weekly tongue in cheek column highlighting some of the curiosities in gaming fashion. We hope you giggle with us as we ponder!
So yes, I still peek into WOW as I have more than a few friends still playing. While I appreciate all the work that went into remaking the entirety of Azeroth after the great cataclysm… some part of me still feels it was too late. I loved the new areas and content, especially the humor and easter eggs. The Octo-Hat is still my favorite quest EVER. I swear I put it on my head over and over and over and over and over and giggled maniacally with glee. It was also pretty awesome that I could earn my very own tentacle porn staff with questing. Regardless, I am digressing. (As usual >.>) The point is I still try to pay a bit of attention to what is happening in the land of WOW.
Which is why I took note when Blizzard released the Tier 13 mage set.
It must be some sort of fashion faux pas to wear goggles over a cowl right? RIGHT???
What is the point? I don't understand. Their glow power would be useless unless in a pitch black environment, and even then it would be more like advertising yourself as Bait. And while I happen to enjoy doing that, I imagine most squishy clothies don't particularly fancy the idea. Even pulling them down to use would be cumbersome with the cowl… unless they are psychic vision goggles?
I can't even begin to fathom the useful, but I'm still stuck on the why. I mean really. Rocket Lights? Glow Horns? Is it simply to confuse one's enemies? -mind boggles- ….. Keeping in touch with the mothership? ….. -sighs and just gives up trying to understand- …..
