WoW Moviewatch: Hogger's Treasure

This is a fun piece and I was happy to see it. It can be easy to lose sight of this kind of machinima among the sea of satires and music videos, so it's become a breath of fresh air whenever we see a story-based machinima. I definitely enjoyed it and I kind of hope Bonkey continues the story of Hogger's later adventures. I think he could punch Deathwing in the face.

... oh man. EPIC. I love it.

with hogger as lich king.. there wouldn't be any raiding.. no one could pass lvl 10.

Wasn't Hogger an elite mob back in the day? Or was I just blinded by his awesomeness?

He still is, I'm pretty sure.

Blizzard...make it happen.
Eric Oct 14th 2010 12:45PM
You're so correct!
Not sure why I thought he'd become a normal mob.

This put a great big smile on my face. Loved it. It was a delightful glimpse into the world of the gnolls! What other secrets are they hiding?
Well, friends, in Cataclysm (SPOILERS AHEAD, PRECIOUS) we discover some Gnoll Battle Plans (http://cata.wowhead.com/item=58887) which shed light on the heretorefore unforeseen* culture** of the gnolls. Worth a read!***

* Totally foreseen.
** i.e., potty habits.
*** If you're very bored and/or easily amused. :)

See, some how I knew Blizzard would get a Poop joke or quest in Catt some where. Now we going to be digging through Gnoll scat.

They don't even try to hide it.

Even before cata, Blizz had poop quests:

My numerous horde toons are asking, " Who's this Hogger character?"

Am I the only one who thinks that the path shown by the map looks like an awareness ribbon, like for breast cancer or something?
Krz Oct 14th 2010 7:01PM
I thought that too... Subtly hinting at something or our overactive imaginations? :P

I feel I would have enjoyed this piece tremendously if it wasn't reusing Hogger and didn't feel so blatantly familiar to A Dead Bug's Life. Hogger is about as funny to me now in Machinima as Chuck Norris is in Barrens General Chat--that is to say, not at all.
As an aside, after seeing the similarity I went to SiverlinedPro's Channel and saw he had two new episodes of his NARPIS series up. *Hint hint*

It may seem similar to his video because we both submitted it to the Rise to Power contest. His EU, mine US. He won EU and I lost US. We know about our similarities and laughed about it long ago, the only difference is my video is just now getting some recognition.
Thanks to everyone who liked it! :)
