[00:02] have done that, let's play the TBC trailer. And then the wrath one. TBC first. Should we do a TBC first? I would I would assume. So, I've seen this trailer a lot. Like I've I've seen this like I
[00:15] would say at least five like at least five times, probably 10. But I've never seen it in the context of playing Warcraft 3.
[00:38] >> Imprisoned for 10,000 years. >> So, that makes sense now.
[00:52] >> That also makes sense now. >> [music]
[01:05] >> [music] >> a lot of sense now. >> I mean, bro. It's a whole 'nother level, man. It was
[01:17] It's a whole 'nother level, man. It was already It was already good. already It was already good. >> [music]
[01:51] >> It makes you want to hop on TBC. >> [music]
[02:56] >> You are NOT PREPARED. >> BRO, I mean after yeah, wow. >> [music] >> Wow.
[03:09] and I'm imagining watching that in like 2006. and you're just like you played Warcraft 3 as a kid and you saw that, you
[03:22] probably would have been like bro, take my money. I will pay anything to play this. This is going to be the greatest time of my entire life. And like it already was that for me. It already was that. But it would have been even more
[03:34] that, you know? Oh my gosh.
[03:54] temple as it used to be, a place of worship. >> I prayed within its chambers and meditated among its gardens.
[04:09] at peace. I remember too the day the orcs came. marked by cries of war and torrents of blood.
[04:27] I saw terrified women [music] and children huddled in darkened corners. I led many to safety, but many more [music] paid the ultimate but many more [music] paid the ultimate price.
[04:43] >> Dang, wow. I don't remember this. >> sanctuary became the Black Temple. There, the orc warlocks practiced a twisted magic that corrupted the land
[04:55] >> do that school dad. >> They're witness to the undeniable power dark master. >> He'll destroy us all. >> Even after the horde's reckless sorcery tore the planet apart,
[05:11] my people were unable to find a lasting sanctuary. >> [music] [singing]
[05:33] >> I remember the armies of demons that swept down on us like a plague. During these dark times, the one called Magtheridon made the temple his home.
[05:51] >> [music] >> The one they called betrayer. The enemy of my enemy. >> [music]
[06:04] demons through them daily. Then we must see of them >> [music] >> We helped him seal the portals of and cut off the Legion's [music] reinforcements.
[06:21] and together we reclaimed our sacred ground. I think part of me knew even then that the Black Temple had only traded that the Black Temple had only traded one evil master for another.
[06:40] used to be. Not the abomination it has become. >> My soul bears the burden of my misjudgment. But I have been patient. I have been waiting.
[06:55] And when the time is right the betrayer [music] will become the betrayer [music] will become the betrayed. >> Wow. That is lit.
[07:11] Guys, I'm not going to lie. I don't know when I last saw that. Like that I don't remember that. I thought that was going to ring a bell. I mean I'm sure I've seen it like back in the day, but it has been a long time
[07:23] >> [laughter] >> What the heck? My Ev is in THE BACK. OH, I DIDN'T even notice. That that Okay, that's lit. All the characters mean something, right? I feel like this is going to be
[07:37] like so I I haven't seen this this this many times. Nowhere near as many times as the TBC one. We just finished Warcraft 3. questions after this, to be honest. Wait, there's an 8K version one?
[08:04] the day you were born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name, of Lordaeron whispered the name, >> [music]

[10:37] There's a lot of Game of Thrones crossover.
[11:00] >> But the truest victory, my son, is stirring the hearts of your people. Bro, I wonder if Game of Thrones got inspired from Wrath. Was that part out?
[11:16] I don't When was the books written? Of course they did. They just yoinked it. Like uh like this part? Which one was first? Game of Thrones books are older. I wonder like cuz bro, are you kidding me? Like I've never put
[11:29] if I've seen this since watching the Game of Thrones finale, but like what the heck? >> I tell you this. >> When my days have come to an end, [music]
[11:56] Yeah, I I feel like playing Wild just has like a completely different I feel like Warcraft 3 has definitely turned me into more of a Wild super fan than I've been before. In the past, I just played Wild to play
[12:10] Wild cuz I like playing Wild, and I didn't know much about why it was such a sick and epic story and why people were so invested and like why it like it like popped off so hard, but after playing it's like, holy crap. And
[12:23] like I still don't fully get it cuz I didn't play it like in the time when it launched, but like even now, it's just like Oh. It like makes sense why it popped so darn hard.

[25:44] people being really upset, but I didn't know all of this backstory and lore, so I didn't fully get it. I just remember people rioting and I'm like, "Okay, you title then." You know, I kind of want to understand why people were mad. Like is
[25:58] about or is it towards like the middle or end of Complete retcon. I I I'm kind of just curious. Like so like that, you have this like insane trilogy."

[27:52] unto the Shadowlands. >> I serve the light, and my work is not done. There is an evil that must be >> There is no evil here. The darkness was sealed within the Maw long ago.
[28:05] >> You're wrong. He destroyed my home, murdered my people and my king. He >> So, that's like like having it sealed in >> must be punished.
[28:19] >> You are an aspirant now. You must accept your new purpose and purge yourself of this desire for vengeance. >> What I desire is justice.
[28:38] why are you training this soul? It is [music] beneath your station as a >> He cannot let go. He continues to demand retribution for his death. >> And this concerns you?
[28:53] Many souls [music] take eons to ascend. >> Yes, >> Yes, but this one seems broken, Denios, unlike any soul I have seen. I have begun to wonder whether he was
[29:06] deemed worthy of Bastion by mistake. >> Be careful, Devos. I would not let the Archon hear such a thought. In time, he will forget.
[29:19] >> I remember watching this. >> Trust the path. >> [clears throat] [music]
[29:32] how long must we train? >> Until you are ready to ascend. >> And what [clears throat] is keeping me from ascension? >> Nothing, but the memory of your mortal life.
[29:47] >> How can I forget when I can still feel his blade? is wounded. Who did this to you?
[30:03] >> He was my student. He betrayed us all. >> Show me. >> Oh. Oh. >> [screaming]
[30:30] unmistakable. This dark agent runs free on a mortal world with the power of the Maw itself in hand. Our realm is imperiled.
[30:42] >> Impossible. The Maw is inescapable. You must return to the path. >> If he had purged his life, we never would have known of this calamity. The path is flawed.
[30:57] >> OH. >> The order of the Shadowlands depends on >> The order of the Shadowlands depends on the execution of our eternal charge. the execution of our eternal charge. You will abandon this course.
[31:15] >> As you command, my Archon.
[31:27] the time of your ascension has come. >> I thought I was not ready. thought I was not ready. >> Do you wish to see him punished?
[31:39] >> I do. >> Then prepare yourself.
[31:58] >> The moment he falls, we will claim him.
[32:29] >> Now, cast him into the Maw. Return him to the darkness he served. His eternal suffering
[32:42] >> [music] >> Dude, wow. >> my student. >> Remember what he did >> Remember what he did and take your vengeance.
[32:57] >> Not vengeance. Justice.
[33:23] >> I will say it doesn't like I like I will say this. I don't know how to like put this in words. After seeing a bunch of these like 2002 to 2000 uh like eight trailers, it just like a different vibe seeing something a little
[33:36] It's still pretty cool. Still pretty cool. But like just a completely when like when you come from watching like the Wrath stuff like the Warcraft 3 stuff to this, it it definitely does feel much different. But Oh, this was
[33:51] morning with Kaya. Penguins go months without feeding. I was telling you guys about that, remember? Man, this was such a joy. Like I kept saying throughout this whole journey, I feel like this is going to be one of those games
[34:03] I look back on and I just think like holy crap, what a masterpiece. could replay this game in a few years. Just start to finish again and just kind of rewatch the cinematics. Especially
[34:17] Especially the human campaign finale. Like that like and the night elf finale.
