WoW is my favorite indie art game about the struggles of poverty and how capitalism coerces us into a violent system.

When the ol’ depression hits, it’s time to return for a rewatch of Peacecraft.

The visual of Raandyy frantically picking flowers as a leopard sails through the air toward his head is magical. This series is a gift.

"lets go sell my pants and learn how to pick flowers" I lost it. love you Griffin.

When Warcraft the Movie came out and was handing out those one month free subscriptions, I became DontSmokeKid, an undead with his jaw and nose broken off. In those three weeks of playing, I was only able to get to LV 7. But along the way, I was invited to a close knit but highly leveled PvE guild, used a code to get Baby Winston (I was playing overwatch before and had no use of it until then), and got hundreds of gold just by asking a LV90 dude when I'd get a cool dragon mount like his who ended up taking pity on me. I guess what I'm trying to say is, Warcraft peeps are pretty chill so if Raandyy turns out anything like DontSmokeKid then he'll be just fine.

A cesspool guild is one of the ones that just invites everyone as soon as they are able to join guilds, the guild gets a chunk of what the members earn by mob grinding and the members get an increased movement speed so everyone's happy. Cesspool guilds have hundreds of members, most of which are never online and they are only able to retain the worst players after cap so most people find better guilds as soon as they ding

@ChocoRokk

They took out that guild perk a while ago, so even giant "cesspool" guilds are kind of just groups of people playing the game nowadays. There's no monetary advantage to having a giant guild of noobs anymore.

Never played this game so I'm pretty excited that I can watch this as my first WoW experience.

Anyone who runs across Raandyy while playing WOW better help the small boy out.

I think this is Griffin playing as an NPC

I never comment on things but I really loved this. Reminds me of the way I used to play WoW. My dad used to play and I would watch him basically every night as he did raids and things when he was home (he was a military guy so he was away alot). But when I would play I just sort of ran around and explored things with my Death Knight who liked fishing. thinking back to that is very nostalgic. I hope this series does well because i really like it!

"One day. One day, that'll be me." It's good to see our beautiful niceboy has come so far in only five episodes...

"Out of the frying pan into the bear." I live my life by this new mantra, thank you, Griffin, you sweet boy, you.

Rewatching Raandyy in 2020 so I can feel a little bit of peace in my life again

Out of the frying pan into the bear

"A Lot of A Very Small Man Running Through the Snow" is actually the name of my newly released autobiographical comic!

my goal now is to boot up this game again after ten years or whatever and find this small boy and protect him

what a peaceful boy, a gentle boy

This series is my emotional reset. Every year, year and a half, I just need a good dose of vitamin Raandyy to feel right again.

What a hero Yrai was

sometimes KZread recommends me Peacecraft again and I go "..it's time"

i’m glad to know there are other people who come back and rewatch this often. same with monster factory, nuzlocke, car boys, gil and gillbert...etc. godspeed, y’all.

"Look at this realistic old man baby." We're a minute in and this is about to get wild.

this is my favorite video series ever i’ve watched it every couple of months for years it never gets old

Something about the innocence and excitement of this peaceful approach really takes me back to the good old days of vanilla vanilla WoW.

This feels like peak Polygon to me.

and it was this small act of kindness that turned yrai into "most loved"

Griffin’s laugh at 3:17 is possibly my favourite laugh of any of the McElroys ever and it makes me smile immediately hearing it

Oh Griffinnnn, you're spoiling me you sweet boy.
