Wowcrendor has found another little quirk of game that needs examination, analysis, and perhaps some gentle mocking. In Garrosh Hellscream isn't real, Wowcrendor takes a good look at the troubling difference between Northrend-Garrosh and Orgrimmar-Garrosh.
Of course, the machinima master of sarcasm approaches this issue with the same tongue-in-cheek love of the game as always. I really think it's Wowcrendor's obvious affection for all things Warcraft that keep these videos in the realm of fan sarcasm, instead of something a little more obnoxious. It's a hard line to walk, but it's one that Wowcrendor mastered long ago. Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch! Have suggestions for machinima we ought to feature? Toss us an email at moviewatch@wowinsider.com.
TBH, I'm more disturbed about Orgrimmar-Garrosh's tiny little head. Honestly, the Northrend-Garrosh looks a lot better. Couldn't they use the same model and then just add the new fluff (tattoos, armour, Gorehowl etc) to that instead of that tiny head on a huge body? It looks SILLY!!! :O
If they wanted him to look bigger and more important (like the NPCs inside ICC for example) just make the entire model a bit bigger. Not the body excluding the head!! xD
Yeah, I have to agree that his new model is a little odd. I particularly don't like that he lacks pupils.
More than the model, why did they have to go and change his voice? His old voice was deep and powerful while still remaining sharp and crisp. I really, really hate his new voice. It's just way overdone. The old one sounds much more like an Orc Warrior to me.
You mean the "I just came from a gay biker-bar and look FIERCE and FABULOUS," look doesn't inspire devotion to your war-chief. The Microcephaly is certainly affecting his decision making skills. ;-p
Wait... does that mean that a whole series of robots that were created by Gnomish and Goblin scientists rebelled and plugged all of our toons into pods to harvest us for our energy... or... mana... or... something?
Once Garrosh dreamt he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting and fluttering around, happy with himself and doing as he pleased. He didn't know he was Garrosh.
Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakable Garrosh. But he didn't know if he was Garrosh who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming he was Garrosh.
Between Garrosh and a butterfly there must be some distinction!
He who dreams of playing WoW may weep when morning comes; he who dreams of weeping may in the morning go off to hunt. While he is dreaming he does not know it is a dream, and in his dream he may even try to interpret a dream. Only after he wakes does he know it was a dream.

My guild's explanation for this is simple: bee sting. Every part of his body swelled except his head.

Re: Garrosh's eyes
THE EYES OF HELLSCREAM ARE UPON YOU! However, the pupils of Hellscream have taken a short vacation and will be back when Tol Barad is balanced.

This is what I was wondering!

yeah, the healers need it. :P

The Queue does not really exist. Now take the blue pill.

"Blizzard needs to update my skin. Lazy asses."
It gets really surreal if you go from Org to Garadar to Warsong Hold...that'll make your head hurt.
Ullaana Feb 11th 2011 12:57PM
@ Tri,
Well, does this mean that Garrosh's brain isn't growing and his head doesn't need to expand anymore?
Tri Feb 11th 2011 2:03PM
Perhaps!
Or maybe.. Cairne DID get some good hits in before he was poisoned by Gorehowl... Maybe it hurt Orgrimmar-Garrosh's head?
Although, I also like the bee explanation :)

I have to ask, what is that fabulous outfit Dorfius is wearing?
StClair Feb 11th 2011 6:37PM
Blue Northrend-pattern robes, so... could be any one of a dozen sets of cloth. :/
(Ah, WotLK. "Each class gets ONE, count 'em ONE texture for all leveling gear! In FOUR colors!")

Hellscream's nipples are upon you.
Always.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!?! *shivers and curls up in the corner*

Not his best video, but decent anyway. He should've used the Inception soundtrack at the end, that would be pretty awesome.
