Though it was widely considered an April Fool's Day prank - along with playable Two-Headed Ogres - apparently the Goblin Tinker is (in fact) the real deal. He comes along with a new 1.5 patch for Warcraft III that will be going into beta shortly. People have been wanting me to mention their petitions or whatnot for a new Warcraft patch, I guess now I don't have to.
Okay, I'm going back to bed.
