World of Warcraft is a pretty popular video game for the personal computer. While not experiencing much growth for the past couple of years, it has developed quite a devoted following, including this fellow below. Francis does have a problem though, and he wants to tell Blizzard about it.

Thanks bakes73.

I would like to buy Modern Warriors 2 as well, and nuke the hell out of people.

That guy could have been off camera, and you could have taken the audio out, and I would still know exactly what he looked like. Because he has a Princess Leia poster framed with magic cards.

It's more believable than the Leeroy Jenkins raid wipe, but I still say it's a joke.

Let me put it this way--if it's real, it's sad; but if it's fake, then it's brilliant. :)

That's a real room in an apartment. I do love how the minute someone posts a video on the Internet though, someone chime's in with "fake." How about one of you WoW players comment on whether this guy is right about whatever encounter he is bitching about.

Shit, you should see some of the places I rented when I was a student. One place even had a room that was a walk in giant safe, but the combo was lost so you couldn't shut it.

JazGalaxy

He actually has pens in his pocket.

I seriously don't know whether it's real or fake. On the one hand, pens in the pocket? Lisp? Perfectly framed shot so you can see the princess leia poster? It's GOT to be fake...

but at the same time, if it was fake, then that guy is not only an amazing actor but also EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the ins and outs of warcraft. (If not so much Star Trek Online or Console Gaming).

I think it's real and I feel really bad for the guy. He says he has a feed though, so if the other videos are like that then it's clearly real.

Exactly my thoughts. Why would I want to play WoW, Star Trek Online, or "that other shitty hero game" after seeing this? In fact, this makes me want to take any device that can play video games and get it out of my house for fear that I'll never get laid again.

Reminder for all Gamers:

GET YOUR EXERCISE!

Make sure gaming isn't in your top 3 priorities in life.
1.) Wife / Girlfriend
2.) Your health and exercise
3.) Your job.

It should go something like that. Hell, stick family in there if you want to. Get gaming out of your top 3 or you'll end up like this dude.

What the hell would this be marketing? The only game he talked about in a remotely positive light was Modern Warfare 2. You know, the game that broke entertainment records and was released two months ago.

He bashes WoW endlessly and then proceeds to crap on everything Cryptic has developed.

Color me sold...I guess.

automaton

02-12-2010, 08:06 AM

I can't stop watching this it is so funny. Does anyone have a transcript of what he is saying? He gets really rattled at points and I can't make out what he is saying. It does not help that I don't play Wow and I'm not sure exactly what some of those terms mean. Translations would help also.

How about one of you WoW players comment on whether this guy is right about whatever encounter he is bitching about.How can the complaint be wrong? It's WoW. Some people will breeze through just about anything and others will wipe on just about everything.

Yes, the fight exists. Yes, there's a dodge debuff. Yes, a caster has to tank one of the Blood Princes. Some people are still wiping, some people aren't. /shrug

What the hell would this be marketing?A comedy anti-review site? sort of a Zero Punctuation with a lisp?

Actually, we use a Death Night instead of a caster. Sounds like one of his tanks is under geared though. Since, he talks about them having less then 20 dodge after Chill of the Throne.

IMO, Blood Princes are easier then Rotface. They can kill Rotface, since they're doing Putricide attempts, so Blood Princes should be doable.

For what it's worth, I say it's real. They've been dumbing raiding down for years. Now every moron who hits 80 thinks they should be able to kill Arthas the next day and it should be as easy and quick as a heroic. When they can't they bitch and moan on the forums, or I guess make fools of themselves on youTube.

To clarify, they have less then 20 dodge, because after Chill of the Throne they have negative dodge.

I'm on the 10 day trial of Wrath in WoW, and the game is just not fun... every zone is FILLED with mobs. You can't walk through a zone without training all of them. The graphics are also horribly outdated. I thought it would be easy to get back into WoW, but I just don't see the appeal anymore

Until that happens, it's fake.

:confused:

Until I Have My Own Channel is the biggest part of that. There's identifying information, a history of rants rather than a flash in the pan, and something traceable. I don't see many "I'm talking to the camera and addressing the internets" that are posted by third parties. If they're saavy enough to get a webcam setup, then can open a Youtube account FFS.

Yep. Dude's relying on your ignorance to try and "become famous." He strikes me as one of those guys who thinks he's clever and funny but is really fucking pathetic to any third-party observer.

Whole video is fake. His other videos are terrible. The worst thing we can do for this guy is to give him the views he so desperately craves.

Lorekeep - He should have made this a lot tighter and escalated his disapproval (should have been 2 minutes long tops), but it was a funny idea that he executed decently.

I'm pretty sure this is the same guy who made this obnoxious video about the WoW Mountain Dew last year:

Actually, since someone pointed out the Princess Leia poster, I'm sure it is. So it looks like he posted this new video on a second account.

Why so harsh, man? I watched the video and was entertained for a couple minutes. It cost me nothing but a smidgen of time to do so. Why should I be mad at the guy?

Did you likewise burst out the forum rage when you learned that Avatar was not, in fact, an accurate documentary of real world events? Sheesh. :)

heh "ship battles better be amazing, I haven't actually done that yet, but they better be amazing..." :rolleyes:

Grats on a full MMO review with roughly 5-10 minutes playtime in the tutorial. meh This is just another serious case of L2P. Seems like no matter how easy it is, it's never easy enough for someone.

Guess that might explain the lack of exercise... "IT'S TOOO HARRRDD!! I mean, what the hell were they thinking when they designed this whole exercise thing? Your muscles get all sore too quick and you can't breath fast enough to keep air in your lungs, whoever came up with that has no business designing reality."

Dude looks like he's well on the way to heart disease. Hope he has someone looking out for him other than the anonymous masses.
