Gorak's Guide to WoW Classic (Animation)

Hi guys!

Glad to see the Barrens Chat alive and well 15 years later :)

I made a Christmas-themed Machinima, but I don't know if I'm allowed to share it or not - if not I'll just delete this post again.

The Winter Veil Episode:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrIHPSMc0VE

and Reddit, if you want to join the conversation :) : https://old.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/egb0og/this_video_took_forever_to_finish_but_i_hope/

Anyway, hope it's allowed, that you had some great days, and that you all like it!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

-Gorak

Dude I've seen your work before, and Gorak is my favorite machinima yet from Classic. Everybody should check it out, it's fucking fantastic.

Might as well start with Episode 1:

Ever since I saw these clips about Gorak, every time I run into an orc it makes me smile a little bit, even if the orc is ganking me into the ground. I love the fact that you didn't do any voiceovers and mostly stuck with the in-game sound assets. It's pretty unique in the space and it gives Gorak that little extra bit of charm.

:biggrin: What a nice story! Gorak would be proud ^^ This video hasn't really performed the way I had hoped, and I was really busy putting the finishing touches to it, so hearing this definitely lifts my spirits, so thanks for that :)

Love it! :lol: Especially the use of in-game sounds only makes it very unique and gives it that certain something. :biggrin:

Yep, I watched all of it a few weeks ago. Top notch content.

Yeah, it really ties Gorak into the game world and I love it. I hadn't run into many orcs when I first saw Gorak's videos, so by the time phase 2 rolled in and I was getting slaughtered daily for just being outside, I got to hear plenty of orcs. And they all reminded me of Gorak, which made life that much less shitty in Azeroth for those several weeks of unbridled corpse camping honor system badness :lol:

lmao, I lost my shit at the sub-optimal honor watch. The sound effects really make these great.

lmao, just in time as I start to live in Arathi Basin for the foreseeable future

The dude action running himself off the cliff had me rolling just as hard as all the horde grunting trying to get out the gates :lol:

What was supposed to be a short clip turned out almost as long as a normal video :) I tried getting this out quicker to help with YouTube's exposure-algorithm - we'll see if it works! Hope you'll like it :)
