Cataclysm Millionaire is the newest video from the AFKplayers. It's a longer video, clocking in at over 10 minutes long. However, the time is incredibly, totally worth it. The graphics and animation in Cataclysm Millionaire are absolutely amazing, and the whole thing is beautiful to watch.
No matter how bad the world gets, there's one thing that can bring the diverse people of Azeroth together: money. In this game show, a half-dozen heroes from the Horde and Alliance get together to compete for big bucks. The questions might surprise you; some of the trivia presented in this video can be surprisingly difficult. And the video includes a crying Lor'themar, so that's always a good thing.

The Chinese models do not show exposed skeletons. In Chinese culture, it's considered very disrespectful to show skeletons or bones, It's considered disrespectful for ancestors.
So all skeletons were removed. Including the bones visible on Undead models.
Taiwanese Servers do show exposed skeletons. Taiwanese and Chinese both speak mandarin but unlike People Republic of China, Taiwan is free to show the bones.
Government of People Republic of China ban this only because it looks scary to those old men.
I knew it wasn't Japanese, I see enough anime to tell it apart, but I thought it was Chinese too. Meh, it all sounds the same when your not familiar with a language.
Quick google shows the first name in the credits, Epla Hsieh, is from Taiwan where I'm pretty sure the rest of the crew is located as well. Not familiar with the differences in Chinese dialect but definitely Chinese, sounds nothing like Korean or Japanese.
Another quick tip: If you don't see Kim, Lee, or Choi as a last name in the credits, it ain't Korean. If you don't see insanely long last names(sometimes) that sound like Suzuki, Takahashi, Yamamoto or Kobayashi, it ain't Japanese. If ALL of the written characters are pretty complex taking around 10 or more pen strokes to write, it's probably Chinese. Both Korean and Japanese share the traditional Chinese characters, but Koreans hardly if ever use them on the internet and Japanese mix them with the standard Japanese letters which are much simpler than the average Chinese character.

Humor is still universal. They did a great job!

My only question was: How did a group of Chinese players get their hands on Forsaken with no elbows?

Really? I could tell right away. But then again, I watch a lot of anime and eat a lot of Chinese food made by people that speak Mandarin :p

xD Epic! If anyone has ever caught an 'English' translation of an Asian game show, then you'll know this is pretty similar. :P
Poor 'Bob' xD

@Caligulla In Chinese I think, it makes more sense, there's subtitles anyway and it was a very well put together video definitely on of my favourites
Marcosius Jan 20th 2011 12:28PM
Can't you read?
pewi Jan 20th 2011 12:31PM
its korean, but its based on japanese gameshows.
23% of the world speaks chinese mandarin against 8% english, hes just being a douche.
Marcosius Jan 20th 2011 12:43PM
And 90% of those 23% live in China. Your point?
