Russian commercial rips off Lich King trailer

As if it weren’t enough that we have to tolerate protection warrior dominance in PvP as the first sign of the impending apocalypse, we started getting tips about a somewhat…odd-looking Russian commercial two days ago featuring Evgeni Plushenko, an Olympic gold medalist and three-time World Champion.

Breakfast Topic: That little bit extra
