fridge logic


You know sometimes, while doing something or playing a game, you will suddenly realise things that you are not aware of? Like in Mario, do you know that the clouds' sprites are exactly the same as the bushes? Interesting? Childhood kinda ruined? Well, if you DON'T want to get more 'spoilers' (like you realise you are breathing manually?) do not scroll down! (but then without scrolling, you still see the words.)


I got the idea of posting this when playing World of Warcraft and also browsing the World of Warcraft forums. I assure you that this is gonna be a long post!

Fridge logic 1: If we (the players) die from enemy players or attacked by creatures, we could do a corpse run back to our bodies right? Why couldn't Uther the Lightbringer just do a corpse run back to his body or even better, the slain King of Lordaeron just running back as a ghost and then resurrecting? Why can't any paladin, druid, shamans or priests just run to Uther's body and then resurrect him? Since Uther was a paladin and then Arthas being a death knight, Uther could've easily brought him down by bubbling, healing, using Lay on Hands, judging like a nut or simply....BUBBLE HEARTH! Because game-wise, Uther would then really suck being a paladin. Seriously, its like some Death Knight killing some pally that doesn't really know HOW to pally and then says, "lol, im king". Makes no sense right?

Fridge logic 2: Monsters and enemies really don't seem to give a shit if their comrades die, BESIDE them. Because if you kill one of their minions/people, the others nearby would just continue to mind their own business and that is if you're not in 'aggro range'. Like hello, by opening such a goddamn big door in Scarlet Monastery, how can anyone NOT notice! The commotion from the fight at the start of the catheral would've alerted Mograine and pals. But they continue to STAND there giving their sermons to their (fighting) followers. 

Also, why would people leave vulnerable, top secret stuffs lying around? Like blueprints, top secret evil plans and etc? It's like they're INVITING you to kill them and take their stuffs!

Fridge logic 3: If the Iron Dwarves settling in Northrend or the Vrykul living in the villages, they would jollywell know/expect that damn place is full of extremely strong creatures (and also expecting US to infiltrate their villages). But no, they still are inviting us to kill them, letting us burn down their villages/headquarters over and over again and having guards that are equivalent to replacing bank security staff with kids in real life.

Speaking of burning down villages, wouldn't wood burn to ashes instantly? It seems like everything in the game is fireproof (except for food).

Fridge logic 4: Wars are neverending. If everything were to be according to real life physics and logic, Azeroth would've been saved from the Scourge and the Horde would be taking over the Alliance. It had been years and there's no improvement in the Draenei's recovery from the Exodar crash and chunks of debris are still visible. Items that you help to retrieve for quests would 'spawn back' magically again. NPCs are forever lazy and want you to help them do things they could've done themselves.

It's like...the whole world is a stage! I bet during maintenance days, you can imagine the skies in the world opening up and you can see cleaning crew and the maintenance crew on scaffolds. NPCs are like those staff in theme museums, where they are paid an hourly wage to stand there and act, say, historical people. World of Warcraft....is just like a huge virtual theme museum!

Fridge logic 5: Physics. One thing I am quite irked at. A mighty tauren could've easily punted a tiny gnome far into distance with a hammer or carry it using their bare hooves. Like how small is the damn thing and they weigh so light! If given real game physics (like in Valve games or Crysis), gnomes would DEFINITELY not stand a chance! Female paladins and warriors wouldn't be possible too; can you imagine how heavy is a HAMMER made of stone, studded with gems and having a size that is as big as your head? I bet even male humans or blood elves couldn't even swing that!

Rogues cannot be that 'INVISIBLE', its not invisiblity, its just camoflage! Visiblity would definitely be better under the sun and the barren areas like outside Orgrimmar....seesh.


After thinking through, everything makes no sense right? It doesn't even go well with the lore itself! And everything will once again, be a damn gag. Just like real life itself. Anyways, I just did a video for MOM.
