WoW Moviewatch: Interactive Horde Onyxia Attunement Chain

Maybe it speaks to the nostalgic Horde members more than the rest of us, but I think the Interactive Horde Onyxia Attunement Chain is probably Wowcrendor's best work yet. It has the same subtle sense of humor shown in his previous work, but then takes it up a notch by speaking to one of the single most prominent, painful moments in any Horde member's life.
Like so much of Wowcrendor's work, it's not only the in-game references that make his work relay so much truth. It's also the subtle nod to universal experiences. (For example, my favorite part is when you choose to not do the quest. If you go down that path, your guild leader yells at you to get your act together. C'mon, haven't we all been there at one point or another?)
As a note, make sure you do not simply play this video. The experience is best if you visit Wowcrendor's start page for this adventure.

Hahahah I got to the first "choice" screen and burst out laughing. Is WoWCrendor eternally on acid, or what?

lol that was entertaining

and by painful you mean EPIC? I miss chains and attunements like this.
Braundo Dec 31st 2009 12:36PM
No, just painful.
The Alliance version was completely epic, though. The Horde version was just balls.

Agree with Braundo. Having done both the Horde and Alliance versions in vanilla, I have to agree, the Horde version was just painful and stupid.
Although this video almost made it all worth it. Almost. "7/15 of your UBRS group hearths"... oh god, I'd almost forgotten that UBRS used to be a 15 man raid. Well, it wasn't intended to be, but it was possible to do it, and so everyone did xD

Absolutely brilliant!
Am I the only person that actually enjoyed doing the chain so much that I finished it 3 times?

I usually only make it a couple of minutes into machinima before finding something else to do but this was great.

Loved it. "I drew this one cuz I couldn't find him :/" LOL.

That entire Alliance storyline was one of the best in the game. The horde version of the attune was terrible. Why would the Horde seek to destroy someone who was undermining the Alliance anyway? And yes, I miss these attunements.

fantastic!

FFS, I almost forgot about this piece of shit quest chain and now it's fresh in my memory again >_< All those horrible hunters who couldn't kite worth a damn in UBRS :(
nwoods13 Dec 31st 2009 1:47PM
back to UBRS...

That was really well done, and it was great to see the Horde attunement chain, since I've never played a Horde toon.
It would be cool if someone did something similar for the original Alliance attunement chain. I've done the quests, but as most people know, its really anti-climactic. You get to Dustwallow where they proceed to tell you that they've figured it all out: a dragon was posing as a lady advisor to the child king in Stormwind, the dragon's been vanquished - you may have noticed that dragon's head. And the King, he's back too. So yeah, thanks for doing all those quests for nothing.

This guy is a comic genius!

wow, and i though jailbreak was bad

"Nobody likes this guy, but he's got the UBRS key, and no one wants to bring him but he's got the UBRS key and you need the URBS key to do UBRS... "
Another reason why attunements and keys were evil.
I'll probably finish up the alliance version this weekend.

He should consider doing the same... for the AQ chain...
