Strat Dead Baron Run in 45 Minutes

This video (with text not in English) shows how to run through the instance named Stratholm Dead in the World of Warcraft in under 45 minutes. They do it in 34 mins. to be exact. It's edited up to show the view from two different players in the run and offers a great video tutorial of sorts in how to achieve this run.

For those that may not understand why this is important, a whole set of armor came out as an upgrade to older armor that requires this to be done at one point. These guys do a very impressive job to say the least, coming from someone who has personally ran this instance tons of times and never anywhere close to this time. I've not been able to complete it in under 1 hour even.

Funeral Bombing

This one is sure to provoke mixed reactions! In this World of Warcraft clip, we see one guild having a funeral in-game for a member of thiers that passed in real life. The Priest the player played like to fish so someone in their guild logged into her account and began fishing while the rest of the guild and others lined up to show thier in-game respects near her favorite lake. This funeral was announced on the official world of Warcraft forums to everyone on the server. Which happens to be a Player vs Player server, which only equals one thing - a recipe for disaster. Another guild, "Serenity Now" (yay, Sienfeld!) decides to invade and bomb the living hell out of the players gathered to pay respects, earning themselves a bit of Honor Kill points and a bad reputation with many others.

Kind of slow to get into with it's setup but really picks up around four minutes in. The beginning comments are comments posted about Serenity Now after the raid on the funeral.

The Blackrock Depths Shortcut

Normally, to get into one of the higher instances in the game named "Blackrock Depths", you have to go along these huge chains and make your way to a rock suspended over hot magma, down into it and then back out, across another chain to a lower level that leads to the instance entrance. In this video, I took my 60 mage "Bleoo" and made a two-parter showing how to get down to the lower level a bit quicker without having to go into the middle suspended rock. This is a well known path to many of the more seasoned players, but may help out a few folks I figured. It's essentially my first WoW movie and the start of more to come with different subject matter and things to show that I have found out in my time playing the World of Warcraft.

WoW on G4TV

This clip is from G4's show "Cheat!" and shows a few of the more secret quests within the game including the Chicken Quest and the Zelda Link Quest. I remember catching this on TV and thought it had some pretty cool info, click play and watch it yourself; now on the internet.

World of Warcraft GM Power

The GM's of World of Warcraft (the human players that work for Blizzard and act as assistants/police in-game) get some awesome gear and can visit special places. This video, made while playing on an unofficial server, shows what gear, places, and overall commands the GM's get. He can even spawn giant bosses and kill them with a simple command as well. Impressive!

World of Offline Gaming

What happens when players play too much World of Warcraft and it bleeds into real life - or - a great little movie showing a bit of what happens in the World of Warcraft in real life situations. Either way, it's a great, funny clip and I recommend you all click Play and enjoy!

Fun with Bots

Like most every game, the World of Warcraft has it's fair share of people that try to cheat the system. Some use exploits, others use bots as seen in this video, but remember all that are caught get banned and Blizzard has recently banned thousands of accounts for stuff like what is seen in this video. A bot is essentially a script that runs alongside the World of Warcraft game telling your character to do certain instructions automatically, without you even needing to be at the computer. Things like attack, heal, loot, look for new monster. When two Horde fellas stumble on an Alliance bot, they decide to have some fun with it!
