The Life and Times of Wilfred Fizzlebang is Mushanga's entry into Alienware's Rise to Power contest. Don't doubt yourself if the name seems familiar, because this notorious gnome is firmly rooted in WoW's raiding lore. Mushanga has breathed new life into the story of Wilfred, and laid the entire saga out in front of you.
Mushanga's ability to create interesting scenes with rapid-pace narrative continues to amaze me. His knack for slapping jokes in the right place and setting up skillful transitions are amazing. The Life and Times of Wilfred Fizzlebang is a fun and hilarious movie.
The characterization of Wilfred was spot-on. This is exactly how I picture a demonic megalomaniacal gnome would come into being, and everything about the story fits that mold. The voice acting for Wilfred was probably the best "madman gnome" I've heard. Overall, this was just a solid movie, and a lot of fun to watch.

I dont know how i feel about this.. Im a gnome mage and the first time my guild ran toc my raid leader saw wilfred and started laughing about him being my father.. where not only was wilfred promptly killed but because i was standing next to him emoting, the boss turned and one shot me before the tank picked him up. So ive always had a certain sympathy for wilfred.
Deja vu... I'm a gnome mage myself and I literally had the same experience the first time my guild did Jaraxxus. "Hey, look Mush! It's your dad!" Luckily for me, I wasn't standing anywhere near him so I managed to survive and have my vengeance :P

I think "YOU FACE JARAXXUS" is the new "IN THE MOUNTAINS".

Wilfred Fizzlebang, master *summoner!* has always been my favourite NPC dialogue. This was just brilliant.

Another awesome little ditty about one of the game's myriad of interesting npc. I LOVE IT! :)
The twist that he was conceived in a tryst w/ the garden gnome - hilarious. ;D

Production quality is as good as any other. The voice acting of it, however, is superb.
