Any plans to make WoW Pods and/or AFK Cooksets to sell?

No, it is exclusively an Art piece. However as part of my PhD I am researching on ways to link the physical world to the digital environment, and virtual massive multiplayer’s game. I am hoping to look into the cookset as means to provoke exchange, discussions about the food lives of players in relation to their habits. They took care of their avatar, feed them, give them water, make them do crazy adventures; Now their avatar will take care of them, feed them and give them water!

They shoulda made the chair reclinable so you can fall asleep in it too, having it wake you up in response to in-game events.  Now that woulda been good way back in '02 when I was camping Zordak Ragefire.   awesome, for real

I think it's a great idea.

Every WoW player should have one.

There should be a way to lock it from the outside, though.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

I'm just saying, everytime I meet a fellow WoW player IRL and they're Horde, they're completely insane. Yes I used to play Horde.

I concur (and I was Horde).  But, to be honest, on the other side all I met were retards.  So, Corky Thatcher vs. Jeffrey Goines; your pick.
