For starters, There's no protection from the element of space, that orc would freeze to death if the vacuum didn't destroy him first.
Secondly, That Pandaren doll sitting by the bags would have flown off the back by now, just like the hat, as he's not strapped in. The same goes for the Murloc's hat because how is that still attached to his helmet, which would be ill-fitting for that Santa hat and it would have blown off.
Thirdly, where is the fuel stored for those combustion engines? The amount of fuel required for takeoff lift to break gravitational orbit of the planet would be larger than the entire vehicle.
Fourthly, it looks like he's got projectile gunpowder based weaponry aboard. You can't get those to fire in an oxygen-less environment.
Fifthly those bags aren't big enough to hold all of the toys that would be required to dole out to all the children in one trip, requiring multiple landings and takeoff's, which couldn't happen because the pilot (Orc Santa) would be dead long before he broke orbit on the first ascent due to exposure.
(This is how you Kotaku right?)

Of course, he won't make it very far with the amount of fuel that will fit in that vessel anyway...
Also, yes, this is how you Kotaku.

ELVEN workshop? It's only safe to say at this point that the Orc Santa has hitherto simply hijacked the vessel from it's original pilot, whereabouts unknown presumably K.I.A.

I'll grant that certain events related in the picture don't make sense in the Newtonian physical view, but perhaps the vehicle uses some manner of reactionless thruster, and that the foolhardy orc merely tossed his hat behind out of foul hubris?
Lastly I'd like to call into question your reference to Watsworth, and point you to Dehaus's exobiotic theory on the reproductive nature of Orks, (And mind you, given the fact that this fellow is in space, we know he must be an Ork, not an Orc.) positing a fungal origin and therefore a species adapted to extraterrestial environs?

And yeah, I know Warcraft is pretty similar to Warhammer already, but Blizzard has steered the orcs closer to samurai/honorable warrior types rather than pure blood-lust types of Warhammer, at least in their later games.

A) Looks like thats a stolen vulture with a Hydralisk head on the front.
B) Its Painted red "RED GOES FASTER!"
C) The terrible grammar, more WH-orky then WC orcy.
Eh, im just starting to really dislike Warcraft in general. The entire universe is just seeming... played out to me now.

As a tank, raiding is the meat of the game for me. Heading into an instance with 25 other people and becoming a well oiled machine working together is fun. Its challenging in it's own right, and becoming stronger and being able to down bosses that you couldn't before is also very gratifying.
Sure the graphics look a step up from nintendo 64's capabilities but the gameplay and the group cohesion is what draws 11 million others as well.

I realized that I beat Dragon Age twice, with a lot more staisfaction than I would get spending much more time than that bringing up a 4th character from 71 to 80. And then I beat Mass Effect a third time (warming up for the sequel) in less time than it would take farming up mats for a single gun for my wife's hunter.

Of course, not mentioned is that the Icecrown Citadel dungeon will open up in stages starting today, so the full raid version of Arthas won't be playable for quite a while... but he does show up in the last of the new 5-man dungeons.

My main point is that just bringing Arthas front and center will be enough to draw back in some Warcraft fans who may have gotten bored by the game mechanics but are curious to see how this story in particular plays out in the Warcraft universe.

Not to sound jealous, it's just that too often I've seen the first people to achieve something huge in an MMO turn out to be bots. 神様 indeed...
