WoW Moviewatch: Lich King Does Orphan Week

This video is surprisingly touching, despite its totally comedic nature. Something about the way Arthas takes it in the teeth to give his orphan a better life gets me right in the heart. I can't help but hope all the PCs taking their foster kids through the battlegrounds do nearly as good a job as the Lich King.

Now i feel bad for killing him...

Well, I'm all choked up for the day.
I still wish we'd been able to progress-phase the burnt out Mosswalker village in Sholazar. I can't even fly over it because of how upset I got at the gorlocs trying to figure out how their murder was their own fault.
Yes, I'm an emotional gerbil. :P

'Please take... my shinies. All done...' Oh god nooooooo!!!! Why are Blizzard so cruel! That place needs to be phased and pronto! It is my one wish for the next patch ; )

I kept every one of those shinies, too. They're still in my bank; expect they will be till I'm done with the game.

Yeah. I'm a dude. I teared up towards the end. Wanna fight about it? :P

I cried. I will never see the Lich King the same again!

This video took the high road. Instead of gag clip, it is actually a lovely story.
Excellent effort!

It's nice to see this one again. It just goes to show, an Oracle child can melt ANY heart, even one an undead one that's been carved out and thrown into a deep, deep hole. ;) ;-3

Yeah I'm tearing up too

What? The watery eyes and sniffly nose? That's just.. um... that's just allergies. Yeah, that's it. Don't mind the fact that it started around the time the little Gorloc baby cried out, "Uncle Lich!" after Arthas left her. -wipes nose-

Glad to know someone else had an "allergic reaction" at that point.

Sweetest machinima ive seen :D and yes i cried a little in the end

Dude, if I had seen this before I mercilessly slew Arthas, i might not have done it.
This is soooo sad.

Great video. That said, Carmen's adeptness with Frostmourne worried me a bit.

Okay, this isn't fair! I just got my poor little Lashtail hatchling back from Mandikor, and now I need to pull out my Gorloc Hatchling! Not cool man!

In my humble opinion the best gnome of them all is Dirti http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppnlwMQ9mLI

Makes me want to watch The Professional :)

Never seen it before. I liked it. Very touching. BTW does Wowcredor work with Yumfries? I swear I hear his voice in every Yumfries I've seen thus far. Very unique and unmistakable.
Reklisc May 4th 2011 1:30AM
Yup, Crendor and Yumfries are buddies (I think in real life, too).
I think the true stand-out is SweetPoffin as the Orphan - if you haven't seen more of her stuff, you're missing out!

Very nice. I had never seen it before. But then again, I am biased to any video that has "Shape of my heart" by Sting in it. I'm a huge Sting fan.
