Video Game Schwag

This formidable-looking beer stein, which weighs about four pounds and holds almost two liters of liquid, is certain to delight World of Warcraft fans the world over when it is released at the beginning of next year–if they can tear themselves away from the computer screen long enough to drink out of it, that is! Found in the game (along with lots of celebratory alcohol) in Azaroth, the city host to the self-explanatory BrewFest celebration, it’s being turned into a real-life mug by BigBadToyStore. Given its size and heft, perhaps it should be pointed out that this tankard is not a toy…

I doubt most obsessive WoW gamers will even be able to lift this, much less drink from it, but it certainly beats an ordinary glass. And though I’m not much of a WoW fan myself, if the Azarothean beer cups are this cool, I’d love to see what they use for wine accessories…
