All of the latest Mists of Pandaria newsPatch 3.3 PTR: WoW.com's stream of the Frozen Halls

Obviously, considering this is straight video of these instances (with commentary and audio from the game), these things are full of spoilers -- if you don't want to know what happens when you enter Icecrown Citadel, steer clear. That said, the video we recorded is after the break. You don't have to watch the whole thing (in fact, at over two hours, you'd be crazy to), as I've tagged the Forge of Souls run, the Pit of Saron run, and the final heroic Halls of Reflection run on their own. Clicking those links or the markers on the video below should take you to the specific parts of the video. Enjoy.
Patch 3.3 is the last major patch of Wrath of the Lich King. With the new Icecrown Citadel 5-man dungeons and 10/25-man raid arriving soon, patch 3.3 will deal the final blow to Arthas. WoW.com's Guide to Patch 3.3 will keep you updated with all the latest patch news.Filed under: Patches, Analysis / Opinion, Fan stuff, Virtual selves, Quests, Lore, NPCs

Agh, you have no idea how hard it is not to watch this. My girlfriend is making me promise not to spoil any major 3.3 points for myself or her, wanting to see it all for the first time when we actually play it.
But as a huge lore fiend, this is torture! Hurry, Blizz, hurry! Finish testing!

Haha, I feel you man. That's why I watched it before my gf could read the post!
Mwhahaha. >=D

"oh whats going on over here?... REPENTANCE!!!!!
Spiraea Nov 15th 2009 2:33PM
I've kinda abandoned my Ret paladin lately but now all I want to do is run away casting and yelling REPENTANCE!
I don't know whether to damn you or thank you, Mike :P

Cool video, any chance of a high quality version being posted somewhere?

Hi, its the person playing Selfish. When Mikey hit the Lich King I thought it was hilarious. I would rate Halls Of Reflection a harder then Heroic Trials of the Crusader due to the fact in ToC all the mobs are alot closer requiring very little effort on anyones end to bring them down. But while in HoR it requires some effort from either the tank to gather the mobs together or the group to CC any of the problematic range classes.

I thought the Lich King head on attack was hilarious too. I enjoyed it and about fell in the floor laughing. Thanks for that Mike and thanks for recording it, it was quite enjoyable.
Mike, you speak of that incident like you did something wrong, you shouldn't apologize to those that give you grief for it... Everyone deserves a little fun sometimes, you got props for having the *cough* testicular fortitude to take on the Lich King alone after all the vast numbers he's vanquished himself, lol.

Ok one thing I just have to say Fjord is pronounced Fee-yord its a nordic thing ask anybody in alaska I swear to god but I still agree Saron is harder to pronounce

I think he was being sarcastic. I'm pretty sure I've heard him say it right before...
So are there any WoW players out there who make ice-cream? Someone needs to make Saronilla and Icecrown-Ebon-Ice-cream. And I need to eat it.
Mmmm floor. *cough*choke*hurl* Delicious.

Wow, just...wow. I can't even focus on the run due to the massive fail of the chatter that you feel will get you extra ratings.
Stop talking about pronunciation. It's not important.
Stop joking about it. It's not funny.
Stop saying Repentance. You sound like a Naruto (believe it!) knockoff.
I'll never recommend these videos to anyone if this is the style to follow

Donno who the fck are you and why u talking in this way, but I actualy enjoed the jokes and the trash-talk... It's a game, for the god's sake, everyone should enjoy it, lol.
And I hope this style will follow in the next videos, too. And if u dont like it, just unplug your cable and go feed some sheeps or whatever...

That's one big ship.
The quest has a cool name "wrath of the lich king". I wish there was a quest called "The Burning Crusade".
