Rimane iconica la sua performance al Blizzcon 2013 tratta dall’episodio “Make Love, Not Warcraft” della stagione 10 di South Park:
Tantissimi i messaggi in sua memoria dalla comunità cosplay e di WOW.
Jarod Nandin was interview by @lizohanesian for the LA Weekly back in 2014 where he talks about his cosplay
