WoW Moviewatch: Nub Tales ep. 1: Celestial Steed (the tears of noobs)
We all suspected that the star pony might have ulterior motives. Yumfries has blown the lid off the conspiracy with Nub Tales ep. 1: Celestial Steed (the tears of noobs). In a moment of brilliant revelation, we learn that the star pony is not made up of simply stars, but also filled with the tears of noobs. The video then goes on to reveal a dastardly plan as clever as any I have ever heard.
I think this is a fun video from Yumfries, but also fills an important community role. This is a player responding to something that's happened in the game, but also the community follow-up after that action. It's also poking fun at the vast overreaction among the WoW community about a horse. Of course, that whole thing just seemed like a snowball to me, rolling down a mountain. It started off as a blip and turned into this gigantic controversy that we've all since forgotten about.

HAHAHAHAHA That was just great!

Love it! It is quite amazing how much of a stir the horse and the Blizzard Pet Store as a whole has caused. I guess for some this is a drastic change in how what was once "hard to obtain" and "sacred" has become a commodity.

Wow. That's some robot chicken quality satire. Love the sinister voice at the end!

Robot chicken quality.
Was that supposed to be a compliment?

Seriously, I've seen some funny videos but this took the cake. Super great stuff. I laughed the whole time. LOVED IT!!!!

The twist of tone towards the middle was fantastic, yet the voice acting was a little grating at times (can't say I'm a fan of the not-talking-but-a-quiet-yell). I'm pretty sure that I heard the theme from Forrest Gump playing in the background, so that makes it all the more better. Nice one!

BAD VOICE ACTING. >:(

It's funny because it's true.

Doesnt this also make you want to write a macro whenever you cast to mount " I RIDE ON THE TEARS OF NOOBS"

another dig at the morons who bought that piece of crap. WTG

Another person who cares too much about how other people spend their money and who clearly didn't catch the sarcasm and satire in the movie.
"It's also poking fun at the vast overreaction among the WoW community about a horse."

I know a bunch of people who bought it only because they find the rage induced by just mounting up is too hilarious to pass up.
