Ever wonder about What Happens During Server Maintenance? You don't have to wonder any longer. Wowcrendor has the answer for you. It turns out that Blizzguy cruises through Stormwind and applies some gentle pressure to vendors who are late on their rent. He also checks in with the banks and bosses, applying nerfs and buffs as necessary.
This video is a lot of fun. Wowcrendor has expanded his portrayal of NPCs across racial leaders and holiday characters. Wowcrendor is always amusing, and I like the mythology he's creating here. I'd actually like to see this series continue; I could see lots of cartoon-like hijinks happening. By the way, if you don't recognize her, Princess Rawrbug plays Sylvanas. 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.
I actually rewound at that point and wait "EeeerP - Wait! That sounded like an actual voice over!" and then "...er... okay, sounds exactly like Karrigan from SCII - and also works flawlessly as the banish queen."
I really wish this guy would get a friend or two for voice actors. It is lazy and annoying to have one person do all the voices. (metzen excluded, sort of)
But seriously, get one or two friends to help out with the voices.
I am very familiar with Mel Blanc. The thing is all his voices sounded different, not the same person talking in a higher/lower/silly voice.
I'm just saying if you can not make distinct voices, get a few friends to do the other voices.
As a general rule I enjoy WoWCrendor's work, just I find the voice thing a little irritating. Also I am in no way saying I could do better. I guess I am just exercising the greater internet d*ckwad theory.

Achievement?

Well played, and quite amusing.
Still would have loved to see some sort of appearance from the "Go-Guy".
Nevertheless, quite enjoyed it.

Wowcrendor always delivers. "*Sorry = *try going outside, losers" ftw.

I guess you didn't watch the video then.
L2play Banjo kazooie nub!

I did watch the video...all the voices were the same guy.

You ever heard of Mel Blanc?
You know his work, even if you don't know his name.
He did the voice for almost EVERY Looney Toon character there is.
Every single character you have heard in a Looney Toons cartoon, with a few exceptions, is him.

I think part of the joke of his videos are that every character is voiced by him.
Bart Feb 23rd 2011 3:09PM
Sylvanas was voiced by someone else. you say he did ALL the voice acting. Your comment is invalid.
Paul Feb 23rd 2011 1:55PM
Well Rawrbug did a voice also, a very good voice of Sylvanas.

That's a classic line, well delivered.

I thought it started out okay, but lost focus and steam about 2/3rds of the way in.
