WoW Moviewatch: The Lich King: Part 4: The Wrath Gate

by Michael Gray Apr 27th 2012 at 6:00PM

This intro is going to be a little brief because I think this piece can largely stand on its own two feet. The Lich King: Part 4: The Wrath Gate is a creation of Mathew McCurley (you might have heard of him) when he asked the question, "What if Ken Burns had created a video to document the events of the Wrath Gate?"

The result is an evocative, moody piece that questions the history of Wrath of the Lich King's most memorable quests. The music is incredibly well chosen, and the low-key, laconic documentary dialogue lends the video a sense of gravitas. Check it out and let Mat know what you think.

Weekly WoW News Videocast for Nov. 12, 2011

by Adam Holisky Nov 12th 2011 at 2:00PM

For the past month, we've been secretly developing plans to introduce a new weekly videocast of all the WoW news, to replace (or potentially complement) the Weekly News Podcast. We're pleased to bring you the first episode of our videocast today, right from the desks of the WoW Insider staff.

This is just the beginning ... We want to know what you think, what you'd like to see, and any tips you have at making it more informative. Some things we're looking at doing in the future including moving it to a true HD format, adding a bunch of interstitial images, and potentially using some in-game video footage where appropriate. We're starting small and will build up, just like other projects we've undertaken.

So take a look, let us know!

This week's top stories include:

And of course, stay tuned for our normal podcast, which runs every week on Tuesday morning.

WRUP: WoW Insider's first children's book

by Fox Van Allen Nov 11th 2011 at 10:00PM

Every week, just at the start of the weekend, we catch up with the WoW Insider staff and ask them, "What are you playing this week?" -- otherwise known as: WRUP. Join us to see what we're up to in and out of game, and catch us in the comments to let us know what you're playing, too!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a very important weekend we are about to undertake. Important, you see, because it is the anniversary of Mr. Mathew Genzer McCurley's birth.

Mat's having a birthday party down in New York City this weekend, and I'm driving down to attend. But what's a birthday without presents, right? That's why I've written and illustrated my first-ever children's book, titled Mat's Birthday Wish. And because I figured you'd want to see it, too, I'm giving the book its world premiere right here, tonight, in WRUP.

So, without any further delay: Mat's Birthday Wish.

WoW Insider Show episode 129: House of cards

by Michael Sacco Feb 16th 2010 at 3:00PM

This Saturday's WoW Insider Show featured regular standbys Mike Sacco and Matt Rossi as well as two special guests -- Mat McCurley, our new addon/UI columnist, and Amy Schley, our new legal columnist. Love was, apparently, In The Air, but so was an hour or so of WoW discussion ranging from what's going on with the WoW TCG to a sort-of-confirmed Cataclysm release date thanks to the Activision-Blizzard financial report, on top of answering reader emails and talking amongst ourselves. A good time was indeed had by all.
