Warsong Gulch is a frustrating map. It's a great game (one of my favorite), but it doesn't take much for a team to run right off the rails. One or two people determined to live in the field, one person who just doesn't have the juice to win, or even a bad flag carrier are all things that can wreck your game -- not even to bring up the dreaded turtle match.
Wowcrendor sums it all up in this movie about failing Warsong Gulch. It's not a complex video, sure, but it doesn't take a complex video to explain what can go wrong. If you find yourself saying anything that takes place here, take some time to reevaluate your strategy. 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.
Wow. We get it Michael, you're a big fan of Crendor, as every video he makes gets a spot on moviewatch.
I used to like him too, back when his machinima skills didn't resume to placing characters in standing in a backpane, and his voice overs had some smart punch lines.
He just keeps getting more and more predictable, like he's not even trying, just milking the QQ bandwagon to make videos (wich are smaller and smaller btw).
One's gotta know when something's just plain exhausted and give it a rest. My two cents.
No mate, i've been saying this for quite a while actually... And it pains me to do so, because i -did- love what Crendor used to do, specially all the Billie and Boar Thrills stuff, that was plain genius, but lately... Gah, i've already said it!
Gee, if I had to choose between short funny movies that appear once a week or lengthy music videos that initially look like the 9 months of work put into them were well spent but then turn predictable and repetitive, which one would I sit all the way through?
Boy, what a toughie.
Let me put it this way: If Alexstrasza ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x15XKaLB3Ao ) hadn't been promoted as a booty show, I would've switched it off during the pretentious and annoying 33-second rocket trip at the very start. It's the visual equivalent of dead air, which Wowcrendor could jam an entire video into.
Please, competitors, speed it up, do more with less, and DON'T BORE US.
I actually do agree with the guy who got downvoted, in that Wowcrendor is getting, if not comfortable, then safe in terms of what he does. I much prefer when he riffs on WoW for five minutes at a time versus these one minute videos where all that changes is what follows "How to Tell If Your..."
The video about guilds? Priceless. This video? Pretty much the same jokes were made in "how to tell if your random BG will fail" video, and were funnier then. Wowcrendor is kind of in cruise control mode with these 1 minute videos.
One of the last WSG's I was in, I was certain I was ending up on the wrong side of a route. The horde came down and wiped us, pretty much 10 v 10 and proceeded to camp the GY. Somehow, a minute or 2 later, we caught up to them, killed their flag carrier before he got back to the base, and proceeded to route them 3-0. I was probably one death away from deserting. So, I will be less quick on my own judgments next time.
please. finding a non fail WSG group with randoms is like finding something actually nice in the DF bribe bags. It doesn't happen often but its soooo good when it does. I'm horde btw and honestly it seems like the more skewed bg is SotA. Horde won it once and I think we may have cheated since we lose so damn often.
While I don't care much if wowcrendor gets featured on here or not, I will comment on how the quality of his videos has gone down. I unsubbed awhile ago tbh. I always thought of this column as a way to find lesser known high quality wow machinema, but to complain about a couple posts when you get so much free content doesn't sit well with me.

So ******* true!

"That...is...genius! EVERYONE TO THE BASE!!!"
I was dying right there at the end.

I agree that Wowcrendors stuff gets featured way too much here but is there really anyone else making good wow stuff anymore?
Micheal Feb 10th 2012 7:47PM
What would you prefer to see here?
arkhan Feb 11th 2012 1:37AM
God, this site is terrible. True stuff always gets downvoted.

Let's turtle while we're down by a flag! Lol, so true, yet, so sad.
Twill Feb 10th 2012 6:35PM
Love it. it's kind of skewed for the Horde though. The Alliance version is attacking the turtle 1 by 1
:)
