The lights are on
Game Informer may seem like a fun place to work. We play games, write about games, and blab about games. This is the image we project. Behind the scenes, this game-loving organization is governed by rules. To be exact, there are 1,442 rules we have to follow.
Rule 15: You will be fired if you engage in "dull" blade swordfighting.
Rule 192: The Twizzlers in the vending machine are made of poison. You will die if you eat them. Andy is the only person immune to this poison.
Rule 518: The robotic panda is not allowed in the kitchen.
Rule 874: If you say good things about World of Warcraft's Alliance, everyone on staff gets to throw a coffee mug at your face.
Let me just say this, we don't have a lot of coffee mugs left. This is a Horde office. Alliance are not welcome. On January 6, Wildstorm Comics is doing its part to win over the Horde players with a comic book series based solely around the Horde. In the first issue, the orc Malgar wages war against the Kolkar Clan, and, since he's Horde, and this is a Horde book, kicks major ass. Fans will also get their first look at a new character named Ironhoof. This monthly series is written by Doug Wagner, and features interior and cover art from Pop Mhan.
I don't play World of Warcraft, but I did notice something strange when I stumbled upon this story. This is the first issue of the Horde storyline, yet Alliance is already up to issue 26. I know numbers like this mean nothing to WoW players. Nothing to lose sleep over. Or, I dunno, start a thread about if you are an Alliance player. Just sayin'.

Very funny. Can someone make a blog about the other rules you guys have? They sound hilarious.
And really cool that a WoW comic book is being made. Even though I don't play WoW, still is pretty awesome.
Your robotic panda isn't allowed in the kitchen either? I thought that was a rule only I had...
Wow never thought game informer workers had rules, now I know and knowing is half the battle....Go Joe!!!!
That is sweet that World of Warcraft has a comic, I will have to check that out, as I don't have time to play the game but now I can read the comic, sweet.
awesome
Yay for nerdom
Orc? They should have made the protagonist (or is it antagonist?) an undead! They're way cooler :-P
Screw u all for not liking the alliance. I kick horde ass all the time and have many friends who enjoy kicking their ass.
Sweet
Cute lead but it took too long to get the story.
At least how Horde players have more fiction to read.
Sorry, I got carried away with the rules. :)
FOR THE HORDE!
Once upon a time ago there was a faction called the Alliance... now theres only ruins and skeletons all over the place. For The HORDE!
I really enjoy the comics, they offer some more insight into the lore. As for what faction. Who cares? As long as you're a Paladin, you'll always be OP. We might as well be our own faction.
lol nice rules, im glad theyre making a horde comic... im alliance and i have a good bit of the alliance comics, but id still like to read the horde story :)
