Thanks for watching, folks. I'll have a chat with Hiru and see if he wants any more of these (because this one seems a bit more polarising than the last one!). But thanks to those of you that either said nice things or gave constructive criticism. It's much appreciated.
@@randymarshislorde If I knew why it's polarising; I'd make perfect content! lol. All I know is... this one seems to have had a few more negative responses than the last. I'd rather try and learn from that than just take the stance... "haters gonna hate". For example; can't change my voice (🥴) but I can talk a bit slower. And maybe I should get one of those wow blue mics. Hopefully the person who demanded I get one pays for it though because their like £200.
@@FlyingButtress Well that's a completely reasonable approach to be honest. I think the audio sounds perfectly fine personally. But I'm only just now at the point where Turalyon is debating the efficacy of helping the leader of the Gnomes down from a table after hearing about the "rat menace", so if I come across anything that stands out in a negative way, I'll do my best to make note of it.
I absolutely love it. Only one i dislike is Shadows Rising. Best ones are Dawn of the Aspects and The Last Guardian for me. With this i have only two criticisms - u use less of ur great humor :( and it feels rushed in few moments (it is/feels also more static that Dawn of the Aspects for example or others like Rise of the Horde - also u use less wide shots which are great for immersion, has less pronounced and lower amount of different artsy/beautiful backgrounds that change with characters&story), but it is still so great! All ur vids except for Shadows Rising (I just don't like the book, the story etc - noone can make new WoW lore appealing to me after freaking kung fu panda...) are the best WoW content ever! Absolutely love it!!! Thanks :)
This has become my new favorite way to enjoy these books. I absolutely love all the witty banter and sarcasm run wild. Shits HILARIOUS and I find myself laughing out loud constantly. Thanks Hiru for the Buttress share! I'm officially a Fan!
hiru! thanks to the last time you did this i discovered FlyingButtrees and because of that, Beyond the Dark Portal is the first series ive followed week after week, episode after episode! love the book and both your channels!
This is literally my favourite thing on this channel. I've tried watching on your channel with the playlists but the continuous one is just a lot better imo
I hope with Metzen leading the team we get a return to the old days - now that Microsoft own Blizzard, we might see less of the Activision shit (I hope). WoW has been in a really bad state BFA - Shadowlands. Luckily Dragonflight seems to be a push in the right direction and the Classic WoW team are doing a great job with things like Hardcore and Season of Discovery. Personally I’m hoping Season of Discovery leads to Classic+ and we get new areas, stories, lore that leads in a new direction that stays true to classic. We can have the retail timeline and the discovery timeline running side by side with one and other, but discovery can retain its classic RPG play-style.
I just finished watching your first video a few days ago and now part 2 is out. These are absolutely fantastic. I'm learning so much from them. Played WoW since 2005 but never really bothered to read into the lore, and WoW is kinda bad at getting the lore across unless you take the time to read those randomly placed books around the place, which is difficult because of the hard-to-read font they chose to write them in.
@@JJJBunney001 It's beyond horrible. I was willing to read them - I'm the kind of person that reads every single book in Skyrim, I love reading about lore in games I'm into, but with that weird book font in WoW I just completely gave up.
@@xXImbaFuryXx yeah these take a while to write and produce. the script is written now for day of the dragon book but wow model viewer is always broken on a new xpac (needed for the machinima) as soon as that’s fixed he can start putting the next series together :D source: tfb posted an update video recently on his channel
i always liked Ner’zhul. He is the greatly deceived one of warcraft universe and possibly most tragic. He suffered much because almost all of his evil actions were his faults (cataclysm of draenor for exp) I hope we freed his soul in Sanctum of domination, not killed him entirely. 😢
Nah. Ole boi had it coming. He suffered because of his faults, and because of his faults, he didn’t seek to make a better life for Draenor OR Azeroth. Screw that guy.
@@Dea7hWarran7 That dude meant to be a good guy actually. He warned Durotan about demon blood which means he secretly saved the orcs (could even affects Thrall’s story). He also could do more if he wasn’t kidnapped by Gul’dan after returning from Oshu’gun, where he learned the truth about Kil’jaeden. I hate the way he suddently turn evil (maybe bcause of Skull of Gul’dan) He wanted to save his people but then he betrayed Grom and left other clans to their fates. His only one selfish action lead his way to be the Lich King in the end.
it's pretty remarkable how you can kinda find yourself rooting for the bad guys to an extent. I feel genuinely bad for the orcs and even Teron Gorefiend comes across as somewhat likeable.
the alleria/turalyon scene had me dying lmao! Good stuff sir! Tbh, I found this book kinda lacking. The pacing seemed to drag. This supercut made this so much more entertaining. Thank you so much. Subbed!
I love FB's delivery and nonchalant use of slang, swears, "...and stuffs", and sly little terms like "face cheeks". Do as many novels as you like, mate - you're more than qualified!
Wish we had more conversations between Khadgar and Turalyon/Alleria in the game, but at least they made them return in Legion and Khadgar is still important :)
WHY IN THE HELL THIS ISN'T IN THE GAME ! ALL OF IT, TOLD EXACTLY THIS WAY - THIS IS DIVINE ! imagine quests done and the story told this way, it would be excellent
One thing I dont get.... the Horde is escaping from the alliance, Ner'zhul even saying that 'it could be the end of their race' if they get caught and all. How in the world are they supposed to conquer other worlds? They don't even have the strenght to save themselves lol
I like the fact the Captions struggle to say Gorefiend and instead settle with Coffee. Also why does young have a bodyguard that looks like his BlackTemple self?
How did I go from a league of legends video to this? Was playing a game on my phone and I was like wtf is this...better question, why am I so invested??
Imagine that one adventurer leveling up doing quests in some random forgotten Classic zone just living his best life till he sees one of the figureheads of the Legion (and Horde) ride the most dangerous and powerful dragon in known lore (save galakrond maybe) i mean at this point i would just hang up the gear and open a wine & cheeses shop in Boralus. PS: i remember the 'stood in the fire' achievement in catac launch....I was just killing some mobs in badlands NOT TRYING TO DO THE QUEST AT ALL (in fact i was oblivious Deathwing was flying around in normal zones) when all of a sudden i hear an ungodly shriek behind me and i turn around to see...well you all know what i saw and what happened next. That was NOT how i wanted my relaxing day of leveling to go. It's been years and im still not done with therapy. No jokes i was like 14 at the time and i quite literally shat myself, didn't think WoW could ever jumpscare me like that. And i will never in my life set foot in the Badlands regio again. Since i had no clue about the deathwing event thingy i was just left thinking WHAT DID I DOO
Kinda sad that for the past, you didnt use the place holder models for the younger versions of the characters. Chaos classic BC Khadgar looked old as hell.
