Episode 1008 - Make Love, Not Warcraft
Episode 1008 Image
There's trouble in the online gaming world when the actions of a renegade player threaten to destroy Blizzard Entertainment's® award-winning game World of Warcraft®. The future of the game lies in the hands of Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny. In this episode, the boys come into contact with a gamer who doesn't play by the rules. Even the creative people behind World of Warcraft don't know how to stop the renegade. They are forced to put all of their hope into the hands of the kids of South Park. The boys dedicate their lives to defeating the mad gamer and saving the game for all.

Trivia

  • Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman's armor is the same color as their jackets/parkas
  • Cartman's name in the game is bigboNed3 and Stan's username is Luvs2SPWG (or Lovestospooge - this is more likely, seeing as numbers are not allowed in the character names, and is a misspelling of "Splooge")
  • Kenny's character dies twice in the game. Also, Kenny's character is a Human Hunter, yet this is not possible in-game.
  • Kyle's character in the World of Warcraft is a Human Female Mage with Arcane/Fire spec.
  • Throughout the episode, references made to locations and player activities in World of Warcraft are accurate to their in-game counterparts, including the "plains of Elwynn Forest near Westfall", the Arathi Highlands, the starting quests for human characters and the presence of large numbers of boars near starting zones.
  • The distorted bassline played behind the South Park theme song was Les Claypool's "Whamola" from the Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade album Purple Onion. This episode marks the third remixing of the opening theme.
  • The opening segment contained a clip of the late Steve Irwin, from the episode Prehistoric Ice Man, a possible tribute to the fallen crocodile hunter.
  • The Antonio Banderas Love Doll from Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery can be seen in Cartman's basement.
  • "Live to Win", the title track from KISS vocalist Paul Stanley's upcoming solo album, made its world debut in the episode.
  • When the boys are training for the final battle, they are seen drinking Rockstar, eating Hot Pockets and Cup Ramen. Their nerd opponent also drinks Rockstar, and eats Chips-a-Hoy! brand cookies.
  • When the character Randy carjacks a passerby, it is choreographed similarly to the carjacking animation from the game Grand Theft Auto 3.
  • Actual World of Warcraft music is played throughout the episode.
  • During the teaser for this episode, Stan and Kyle’s characters appear to be in a castle, yet in the episode this does not happen.
  • The characters in Blizzard's board room closely resemble their corporate executive team, with President Mike Morhaime and Vice President Rob Pardo playing the most active roles.
  • The boys play basketball at the same park where Al Gore had met them in "ManBearPig."
  • Posters of Blizzard Entertainment games "Diablo 2," "Warcraft III," and "Starcraft" can be seen in the background at several points in the episode.
  • The boy playing World of Warcraft at Best Buy is wearing a Chinpokomon cap and shirt.
