World of Warcraft News - New TV Ads with Ozzy and Steve Van Zandt

Posted by Keith Cross on Nov 21, 2008  | 10 comments in our forums

Blizzard has released two new tv spots in the same vein as earlier spots with Mr. T and William Shatner. The new spots feature Ozzy Osbourne and Steve van Zandt of The Sopranos.

Ozzy Osbourne's been the Prince of Darkness since 1979 -- too bad Arthas is poised to steal the throne. In a series of nationally televised ads, Ozzy and Steve van Zandt want to know: "What's your #!@? Game?"

Watch the Ozzy Spot, and the Steve Van Zandt Spot.

I don't know about the others but it is a fact that Bill Shatner is a WoW player.

Sorry but many celebs who you wouldn't think of playing WoW, does play it.

 

It's a mmorpg where both the cheerleader, the quarterback, and the geeky IT boy, could be playing together, without knowing, WoW is a social hub.
