A week ago we featured this guy, who cosplayed NWBZPWNER, the loathsome griefer from South Park's seminal "Make Love Not Warcraft" episode of 2006. Then we used him for this week's 'Shop Contest. Then we got in touch. His name is Jarod, and he'll be grading your entries.
The famous South Park nerd wasn't the only cosplay at BlizzCon this year, you know. There was a ton of cosplay of characters from Blizzard games, too—and MLZ Studios, as always, brings us the cream of the crop.
The next WoW expansion, Warlords of Draenor will focus on orcs, but most importantly time travel.

BlizzCon starts Friday, and the hype around what could be a brand new World of Warcraft expansion is already out of hand. What will it be this time? Nagas? More Burning Legion?
