San Diego Chargers RB Ryan Mathews Visits Blizzard

Quick! Get a Hunter's Mark on That Rogue!

One of my main tickets to the BFTB staff was this piece on Ryan Mathews and the particulars of his Warcraft habit. Unfortunately, his main character is either deleted or renamed, because it doesn't show up on the armory (I hope BFTB didn't actually stalk him!). One might assume that the rigors of being an NFL running back and the ridiculousness of a pokemon style change to WoW might have given Mathews the WoWquit bug, but on Wednesday of this week he paid a visit to the Blizzard offices in Irvine.

@rmathews24: Omw to la #

@rmathews24: Also gonna stop by blizzard and say hello to all the folks there #wowitup #

He also got a couple shout outs from Blizzard employees before and after the fact...

@CJCClarke: @rmathews24 YEAH BOY! Tweet at me when you're here, I'd love to meet you #

@sdlistenin: @rmathews24 Thanks for coming by campus. Hope you enjoyed the tour. For the Horde! #warcraft #chargers #

So we know that he's still playing WoW to some degree, but we've lost track of his character, and maybe he's rerolled a new class. If anyone can track him down (no stalking!), John Gennaro will totally eat his hat. I have tried a couple of times to get him to sample SW:TOR with no response.... QQ!

@orz_bftb: @rmathews24 you gotta try the new star wars mmo... It's the new hotness! WoW was awesome but sw:tor is a whole new level! #

I have no clue what Wow is

other than a word describing shock, awe, etc… I’ve never played it or seen it.
my video gaming is limited to xbox360 and my original, still hooked up, still working NES and Genesis and a N64. Pretty sure my dreamcast is in a box somewhere still operational as well.

Don't get excited when it's Wheelie time...

Just quit for SWTOR after almost 8 years of WoW

SWTOR doesn't look all that good to me

Not very many star ships. Graphics and flight physics not that good either.

Now Eve Online with the new play station companion DUST 514! That is the bomb! you’ve got the PVP first person shooter on the planet and a connected galaxy of PVP space ships.

Hilarious

Is it bad that I read your site and saw my tweet? haha – yeah Mathews is really, really cool in person. He was SUPER starstruck at our campus, it was great to see. I wore my Chargers gear because I knew he was coming! :)
