Joke’s on him, never played Among Us, don’t use twitter, but as soon as I saw rule 34 I knew it was trouble 
Anything that contains R34 is already giving away the joke. Only normies would fall for it.

I saw R34 and imediately knew what game you’re playing.
I think the only people that still fall for the ‘look up rule blahblah’ at this point are kids that don’t know about it yet

I’m only saying it out of the fact most of it was very vanilla and boring r34 content.
Golden is a better writer than most give her credit for and her fawning adoration of Anduin is no worse (or better) than Danuser’s fawning over Sylvanas (or zaney infinite dragon pirate) or Knaak’s… Knaakness.
This is the Good Ending.
The real copypasta was the friends we made along the way.

I would make a good lead game director. Whether it’s gameplay, story or visuals related stuff, I could handle it. Or even if I couldn’t I’d certainly give it my best shot.
No, really!
I should send a cv to them…

Wonderfully illustrative of neoliberal logic to make number go up or down.

Golden is a good character writer, despite her obsession with inserting Anduin clones into every setting (looking at you, Valerian Mengsk). Out of regular WoW writers, she’s the one the most interested in examining how the events affect the characters emotionally, and their organic growth as people. And then other writers go and completely ignore her (relatively, by Warcraft standards) nuanced characterization for the sake of the latest awesome idea they have.

The entire channel is really funny as it has some not so subtle commentary and litterally roleplays as a in-universe Stellaris news-station. Everything from news to morning talk shows to political ads.
Another one here:
Knaak’s an odd duck. He’s entirely capable of writing passable dumb fantasy novels but for the Warcraft novels he wrote he just kinda phoned it in. Guess they were just a paycheck.

Whoever writes WoW stuff, at least they aren’t Philip Athans of eternal baldur’s gate infamy.
Written not so much by someone who had no familiarity for the source but rather someone who seemed to actively have contempt for it.

I’d rather have Knaak. He can at least write competently, if a bit dryly. Yes, Rhonin was a self-insert of a kind, but the man had respect for the work Metzen did and went to some effort to do world building.
Even if his novels are like wallpaper paste.
Stackpole and Jeff Grubb on the other hand did phenomenal work with world building, having written Shadow of the Horde and The Last Guardian respectively.
Those two novels are literal gold mines of world building and lore, fleshing out troll & pandanre cultures, and arcane magic respectively.

Stackpole’s generally good, and his Battletech work is amusing and gave rise to ‘Stackpoling’ where he’d have 'mechs explode into nuclear fireballs despite that not being really a thing in Battletech.
Man even had the good humour to poke fun at himself in a recent Battletech book. So he’s up there for sure.
But sadly the choices were between a moron, a character writer and Knaak. And of the three, Knaak does world building best, which is honestly the skill you want at the top when you’re directing an MMO’s narrative, since they’re generally going to be able to keep the ship together.
