I would like to introduce you to Robin, the World of Warcraft Homage to the already legendary actor and comedian Robin Williamswho passed away last month.
This recreation of Williams‘ iconic Aladdin Genie is just one of the many tributes to the popular actor that the people of Wowhead have discovered in Blizzard’s popular MMORPG over the past few weeks. There are also innuendos Mork, Mrs. Doubtfire, Toys and some other films.
Last month the data diggers found… Wowhead in the game’s code Files and materials for Robin Williams-Homage, but now they have discovered it in the game itself.
A Wowhead Reader said he saw the above Genie during beta testing for WoW’s next expansionWarlords of Draenor discovered on an island near Talador. It’s almost perfect. Wowhead announces: “You can summon Robin by rubbing the Ever-Burning Lamp. When first summoned, he exclaims ‘INFINITE COSMIC POWER’ and then shrinks and waves goodbye, saying ‘itty bitty living space.’”
Perfect.
