About the Archivist and the Terra-Tron I was thinking “That’s kind of strange. But… you know what? I could get into this!” 
Then I found out it was all a joke.
In my defense, I saw this on April 2, not April 1.
If you follow that link to Blizzard’s own page on the Archivist class, there are some hysterical videos of the Archivist destroying hordes of demons with his Lore-nado and Quest Bolts, and then
getting hit just once by a monster, and falling over dead.
Anyhow, thanks for that link, that’s some funny stuff.
Do you know what the best part about Blizzard’s pranks are? For their non-MMO games since they have to go through the trouble of making the animations, sounds and models anyway they always end up in the world editor! So you actually do get a Terra-tron (and a Tauren Marine from last year) in SCII. Not sure about the archivist though, the spell animations they showed probably will be in there at least.
This one fooled me and a bunch of other folks. Apparently it’s a (brilliant) hoax but so many people tried to order it that they’re going to try to get permission to start making them.
I totally want one.
I can hardly believe it wasn’t a real product already.
Archivists aren’t hunched, labored, or frail. They are, however, drab, sexless, and possessed of facial hair (both genders).
I know what my daughter is getting for Christmas. Assuming it becomes available, of course.
