Ragefire Chasm Fun

Ragefire Chasm is the first instance the Horde normally go through if they don't choose to skip it and go straight to the Wailing Caverns. Found inside the city of Orgrimmar, the Ragefire Chasm offers a decent challenge to beginning players and shows them the basic structure of an instance complete with a portal you enter to get into it, a few groups of mobs, a few bosses, and a handful of quests of different types. This high level mage decides to have a bit of fun inside Ragefire by grouping the major mob groups together for mass slaughter. This actually gives me an idea for another movie which I may reveal on another day - for now, enjoy this fine World of Warcraft clip!

Excited to be 60

Getting to level 60 takes a bit of time and work playing the game and this guy is *very* excited to finally reach it! Watch as he loses his mind after reaching level 60 in the World of Warcraft! (May want to turn speakers down first.)

The Chicken Quest

The Alliance can do a special quest in order to obtain a Chicken pet (just for looks) which involes "talking" to a chicken a few times until it offers up the quest! Yes, it sounds crazy, but watch the video and see for yourself!

Priest Mind Control Fun!

Priest's in the World of Warcraft have a special ability called "Mind Control" which, as the name would suggest, allows you to take control of other players and even Non-Player Characters (NPC's). In this video, you can see an Alliance priest at the entrance to a popular Battleground mind controlling a Horde NPC and then attacking Horde with him. The Horde must be very surprised as the Priest stays out of site while controlling the NPC and well, normally, this NPC doesn't just up and start attacking! Very funny stuff!

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.
