Man, this vid had quite a lot of puns in its! You could truly say that platinum is a *puny* mortal!

I've always thought Blackrock Mountain was cool, mainly in Vanilla. It's a gigantic stone stronghold so large that there are multiple unrelated factions based inside, each one spying on and trying to undermine the others. You've got Ragnaros in the basement, the Dark Irons in the city next-door, the Blackhand siblings in the Spire, and then Nefarian in Blackwing Lair. By modern wow, pretty much everyone has been cleared out by various bands of murder adventurers, except for the Dark Irons who have now joined the alliance. I presume the Dark Irons have reclaimed the rest of the mountain, so I guess they were the ones to 'win' in the end.

The nefarian fight seems EPIC! All those random effects make it seem that much more dynamic. Amaze.

Its important to note that in the Rise of the Horde book (which is a great read) Rend and Maim were magically aged through warlock spells. It left them incredibly debilitated for weeks but when they came back to, they were unnecessarily cruel and vicious. They became vindictive and depraved, twisted by Fel and Nether magic. It was a very disgusting moment in the book, because they were just kids, growing up and doing kids stuff and then just twisted in every way imaginable by the order of Blackhand.

Rend and Maim were also some of the first orcs that the warlocks used Life Drain on to age-up (so they'd have more soldiers for fighting the draenei), so developmentally they're still teenagers at best.

Blizz (controlled by Activision and changed from within over the years) literally only cares for money and profit now. The only reason we even got official Vanilla was because it was the most profitable thing to do (which is also why we will likely get at least TBC and maybe even Wrath)

It's interesting how the whole "Shamanism is similar to the Earth Warder's power" thing seemed to be a callback to Zuluhed's Dark Shamanism not working on the Dragon/Demon Soul and his need of a Warlock to use it in his place. So it wasn't a TOTAL asspull to have Thrall play Aspect-for-a-Day.

We really need these for the Cataclysm stories too.

I really love the Blackrock. The Dungeons, the Raids, the Story, the Zones around it, everything is just perfect. And for me, even in 2020, still a Masterpiece from Blizzard.

A very well crafted and educational video - please more! :)

I can’t imagine the amount of time it takes to make such quality videos like this. Amazing. 11/10 stars!

Another amazing video brother!!

Nefarian has to be my favorite boss in Classic WoW. There’s so much awesomeness about him from his epic voice to his crazy boss fight.

Got a good chuckle out of the seal and the yoda death sound effect. Good video as usual!

I love that little bit with the "Too Many Cooks" soundtrack. It's fucking hilarious.

Good lord i hope more people find your content. It is amazing, i'm on a binge

10:01 NOT YODA!

You deserve WAY more subs than you currently have!! I just added myself to your army, and turned on notifications ^.^

The whole blackrock progression was just amazing to experience back then. Just stepping into UBRS was awesome, fighting rend and having nefarian teased on the balcony…and then finally going into BWL at the mountain peak. Felt so epic!

Thyst told me on CTR to come watch you! Glad i did, can't wait for your next steam

Hmm his cinematics are better than Warcraft 3 reforged ones

I literally love your videos. thank u for blessing our eyes and ears

The entire part with the seal nearly killed me. I found it WAY funnier that I should have.

If you have a Demon Hunter in your group, Nefarian will blind everybody for a few seconds, making the whole screen black, and you can only see your UI. How badass is that?!

I really liked Edwin van Cleef's story. Always did.

Absolutely great videos, I suscribed even if I don´t play WoW anymore.

I know i would sound boring, but there are few incorrect pieces of lore in here: - After Lothar fell, Doomhammer was defeated by sir Thuralion. Not some bunch of punk-ass alliance infantry :D - Those emissaries from draenor were no other than Theron Gorefiend and Thagar Spinebreaker. And when the parlay didn't go as planned, they were offered aid not by Nefarian, but by Deathwing himself. The Draenor horde were offered aid, not the dark one. Nefarian and Onyxia were merely sent by Deathwing to subjugate the dark horde clans, once conversation between Gorefiend and Deathwing was finished. Why would Deathwing want to help em, you ask? He had plan of bringing the eggs of black dragon flight into draenor, and thus having 2 worlds conquered, not just Azeroth. So he offered help of black dragons flight in exchange for free pass for some "cargo" - which happened later. Source - "Beyond the Dark Portal" by Aaron Rosenberg and Christie Golden.

Great vid

Maim's death scene is worthy of an Oscar.

I remember back in BC; which was the expansion I started in, I had just got started doing runs in the the lower half of the BlackRock spire and meeting Vaelan for the first time. I was cut off from wow at that moment because my dad didn't want me being lazy and sitting in front of the computer then.

Victor Nefarius not only has the most cartoony name but also a cartoony villan lines when defeated LOL

The original seal you get from Vael was actually kissed by a rose, too.

I lost it when he threw the Seal at Rend 😂

Classic wow sounds awesome but I could never survive. I’m thankful to have grown up with the pampered more streamlined wow. But I can definitely see how back then even if you weren’t an RPer WoW still made you go an epic adventures and get immersed in the world in a way that’s really interesting and challenging

... the seal. Goddammit, why did I laugh X'D

Little tidbit of info Maim became more of an obedient and rabid dog to Rend. It became a very strange relationship where Maim was more of a loyal pet over a brother

I hope we get some more D&D-esque story telling in Dragonflight.

aw mannn oyou should have put turalyion there after anduin dies xD and continue the music as he turned super saiyan xD
