He's wearing an Alliance shirt. LOL. Are you fucking kidding me? He's the biggest orc fanboy in the world.
Even Metzen's face when they revealed it to him says "Meh the fuk is this shit"

i mean #1 sounds like someone in the office trolling him
#2 that looks like a 3d prototype that can be modified before it's cast

I think it's sweet. Maybe modify the shirt so it's horde, not alliance, because that's kind of weird since he was a huge Orc fanboy.
Still, it's definitely really nice. No idea why anyone would complain.

He's far too thin. That and the Alliance thing is a pretty big point. It's there to not create "HORDE FAVORITISM" bullshit.

the only thing thats stupid is the baby winston. he should be holding a murloc's hand or something Warcraft related. Its fashioned after disney's statue. He is holding Mickeys hand because Mickey is pretty much THE character of disney. Winston is not the character of Blizzard. Hell, Tracer is more popular than Winston is.
If what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Then I should be a god by now.

I think he's probably tickled that he gets a statue.

The statue is pointing at something in the distance. Oh i see now its the gaming company metzen is starting because he's tired of activision calling the shots.

Tracer is hot, not cute. It doesn't work as well. Originally Posted by Pandragon

Yeah I'm a bit puzzled by the statue aswel.. an Alliance shirt? Why not just a Warcraft shirt in general.
And why Winston? Overwatch is so new it doesn't even compare in legacy to the other giants of Blizzard.
Oh well, I like the laid back look they gave him that's so Metzen

I wouldn't call him "an orc fanboy", he is the voice of Thrall, not a fan of him. He *is* Thrall. Alliance shirt doesn't fit. Also, I know Overwatch is his latest project [right?], but I would think for his statue a different character would have been better. How many years has he spent involving Warcraft, compared to years spent on Overwatch? I know its obvious that its <1 year with OW, that's my point.
Does anyone know if he also voice-acted for Thrall during WC III? If so, he predates that as his character over Winston and Varian.

I agree, it should've been Thrall instead of Winston and having them make out.

Nice gesture but agree with others here an old school Warcraft logo shirt and something like a murloc would've been more appropriate.
I doubt Chris himself cares much either way.

He doesn't do Winston's voice. Winston's VA is the same guy who did Maraad in WoD though (and still does a bunch of other voices). Pretty sure Metzen also did Vol'jin though. Originally Posted by Orby
