In case you haven't heard, in patch 3.3.3, you will be able to skip the role play section at the beginning of Culling of Stratholme. This NPC theatre has become somewhat of an epic, painful period for many WoW players. My wife and I can recite the entire dialogue from heart, often mocking Jaina for her particularly emo delivery.
Lilromimi, though, seems to have created an even more fitting monument to the Culling of Stratholme Role Play. A group of young actors created a live performance of the dialogue and action, bringing a little bit of extra culture to the Ironforge bank area. Whether the Grim Batol (EU) server really had full appreciation for their thespian skills or not, this video is definitely one that will go down for the ages.

That video was brilliant, I lol'd hard when he got to the warlock in demon form playing Mal'Ganus. The timing was dead on with each player's lines, although they actually performed it faster then the real event :/
Don't know why the guy on the mammoth gets blamed for the crime of riding around in a public place. If you don't want a mammoth interrupting your role play don't do it iin Ironforge or any populated area.
It's difficult to go to any city without some d-bag on a mammoth covering NPCs, blocking sight, generally getting in the way, or something like that. It's like they give you a manual on how to be a jackass when you buy the reins.

^This.
Video was awesome. Using the actual instance music was a great addition.
The only addition I would have added would have been a pally high enough lvl to cast Divine Storm on the unsuspecting Stratholme resident.

If you look closely at the metamorphised lock, you can see a naked gnome at 'Mal'ganis'' feet!

"Mal'ganus" -> malg'anus
I lol'd

Yeah, it was a little fast, but using the Ironforge bridge... GENIUS!
And then crossing over again and having random people all ready and waiting on the other side as Mal'ganis and the civilians?
KUDOS!!!

The warlock in demon form was like the icing on the cake.
However, jerks with mammoths will ruin everything. EVERYTHING. Even your adorable attempts at purging, er, Ironforge.
Barinthos Feb 24th 2010 12:28PM
Agreed. There's always a jackass on the mammoth jumping around.
Massa Feb 24th 2010 1:19PM
Was it just me, or did anyone else try and change the screen angle to watch when the stupid mammoth got in the way?
MasterAsh Feb 24th 2010 1:23PM
Turn the camera? I had to resist the urge to type " /y Move!" or open my bag for a Baby Spice.

that was pretty good, with the exception of the guy on the mammoth always jumping to where you couldn't see what was going on

Am I the only one that enjoys MST3K-ing the actual event through /say?
