South Park has been immortalized once again in World of Warcraft. This time, however, more distinctly than ever before – and extremely creatively.
There are combinations of words that immediately bring something very specific to mind. For WoW fans, “Mama, Schüssel!” or “Mom, Bathroom!” would immediately evoke a vivid image of Cartman from South Park. It refers to an episode that aired almost 20 years ago and is still well-known today. For a player, this was evidently reason enough to place the characters from South Park in their own house – and with astonishing detail accuracy.
Rugs are created by Cartman, Kyle, and Co in WoW
How were the characters recreated? Anyone looking at the image from the player Atlaslock for a while will immediately recognize how he must have gone about creating it. The advantage of the characters is that they are mostly made up of many round individual parts – and these can be represented with the rug, which can be dyed. The rug is one of the most powerful housing items anyway.
Smaller details, like Cartman’s chin or the eyebrows, were apparently recreated with cobblestones, and the eyes are night elven lamps, which also bring a lovely glow to the room.
What is the image referring to? South Park has essentially been making fun of all sorts of topics that are somehow relevant in society “forever”. This has also been the case with World of Warcraft. Because back in 2006 (Season 10, Episode 8), the episode titled “Make Love, Not Warcraft” aired. The episode was a mix of typical South Park style and machinima in World of Warcraft, where boys try to enjoy WoW while simultaneously having to defeat someone who is infinitely strong because he “has no life”.
The episode, like all others from South Park, is available for free on the South Park website.
The community shows a lot of creativity in housing: Since housing started about a month ago, the player base has been extremely creative. Although only a small part of the housing features has been unlocked and many more furniture, decorations, and house levels are yet to come, we’ve already seen some masterpieces. One of our highlights was, for instance, the house from player Ticks, who has invested many creative ideas into his home.
