Personally, by far one of my favourite pieces of content in WoW has to be battlegrounds. Controlled environments of chaos. Though after years of playing some patterns have definitely made an impression on me and have now decided to include them in a video for your pleasure :) Might make a part 2 some day who knows.

What can I say? I just love chaos. I like it when players go out of their way to create their own fun and stories, in a game as big as WoW, among them. I value all mischief, so therefor I decided to bring you a small history lesson, of some of the most notable events of the past and some more recent ones. Though sometimes controversial, these types of happenings are what make for great stories later down the line when you're hanging out with friends and retelling past events, so I hope you have fun remembering or even learning about these more popular ones :) The last segment of this video is very interesting to me as I feel that in all this time being invested in the wacky stuff players did to make eacho ther miserable, I had never heard or come across this one before. A very rare thing within the WoW sphere nowadays to have something that lacks coverage like that, but I hope I've done it justice and you enjoy! Thanks to Peppie (kakkie/ if - realm Living Flame) for his amazing story!
I honestly wasn't planning on trying out Season of Discovery, but I had just bought a subscription with gold since I needed footage for the previous video so I decided to briefly give it a go. That basically gave me enough material to say "eh let's do it" and make a quick video about it.
Personally, I have mixed feelings about it. I kind of feel like it's interesting to try and go for lower level caps for different phases, but most of the runes are not really something too inspiring, as they're just mainly retail abilities/ passives. Some classes just become extra op with the help of the extra options provided by runes. I just want more wacky stuff personally, something like - every single spell you cast as a mage is completely random and can be from any class. I just want to see them go crazy with it. But I suppose we'll see how it develops further on.

I remember when I was young and I was still getting into WoW, I would look up any videos or posts online where people discussed their theories and speculations on what certain stuff could be in the game. The world of Warcraft is huge after all. Many vague things and mysteries with a lot of implications. These mysteries made the game feel that much more immersive to me, giving it a hint of realism even to such a strong fantasy setting.
But as I got absorbed by all of these mysteries, time passed, and before I knew it - some of them had been finally revealed or confirmed. Blizzard basically loved to put random hooks in the world here and there and would eventually pick up on some of them. And this is why I decided to make this video, to take a look at some of these more notable mysteries in perspective and how they turned out after Blizzard finally decided to expand on them.
Though, at the end of the day I do think it's nice for us to finally get some information on many of these myths, it really turned out to be a monkey's paw type of deal a bit, with a lot of them turning out not exactly as people hoped for, including me... Regardless, because of that even, I thought that the topic for this video would be that much more interesting!
Now, I know there's a lot happening in the lore and story of WoW vanilla, the base game. You fight big bad guy after big bad guy. Very confusing how that happens I know, so naturally, as the prominent WoW lore youtuber that I am, I have decided to bring you clarity today. With this short and insightful summary of the events that transpire in vanilla, you can feel further inspired and motivated once you actually confront these foes yourself :) No problem.

Personally, I gotta say I've never been the biggest Hardcore/Ironman challenge enthusiast! I guess I just get too attached to my characters but also usually barely pay attention to my screen when playing. But I have to say, some of the things I've seen players go through during the trend of hardcore through Classic WoW, have been hilarious.
Personally, I've played a bit myself and the first issue I ran into was the layers phasing around me while in areas full of hostile mobs. Like WHAT?!?!!? That's so ridiculous but I found it pretty silly. And also the whole thing with opposing faction players trying to trick people into attacking them/their pets in various ways so they get flagged for PvP and then killed is.... chef's kiss. Perfection. Stuff like that have to be my favourite things in a game such as WoW, so I just thought I had to include that into a video of mine somewhere.
In any case, hope you guys enjoy the video and remember to support by Subscribing and sharing the video :)

Kazzak's invasion on Stormwind, along with the Corrupted Blood incident, have to be my favourite player-made events in WoW's history. Definitely the most notorious ones in my eyes. Initially I wanted to make the video about the general tradition of pulling bosses to player hubs but at the end decided that it would be the most fun to focus on the most popular case of it.
Hey! Hope you spent your holidays all good! Now... Rant time.
I want to start this off with that while I don't really play WoW right now, I have been keeping a close eye on the WoW Classic scene and talking with people regarding they're experiences, and.. wow..
I don't know man, I really enjoyed the Classic concept at first but then slowly problems kept piling up that really could be solved if Blizzard just played SOME attention. Literally hire the janitor with an extra 5$ an hour to pay attention to it every now and then.
It's INSANE how rampant botting is in this game, it's really insane to me how unbothered these botters seem either. Due to this, along with third party gold selling websites, the economy keeps getting absolutely blasted. And not only that it just really sucks to see these bot trains all the time in a game you pay for. Although, I have to admit, I have had quite the laugh watching footage of bots fighting each other in battlegrounds, that's hilarious.
People also literally had to wait more than a month in some cases for their ticket responses. INSANE. As if they aren't paying a monthly subscription for an easily resolved issue? Pretty damn disappointing.
TBC Classic. I really, really, really, really... just don't understand why there aren't any servers for it available anymore after WoTLK Classic release. Like...... why...... what was the damn point of this whole project....? They claim they might make them available again in the future vaguely... but this is already ridiculous. So what was the plan? Release it real quick, release the stupid level boost, get EZ money and then gut it? I literally would've loved to play it still but I GUESS TOO BAD! I thought Classic servers are supposed to be a permanent option for paying players that can just always come back to it whenever they find it comfortable. Why does it also have to be FOMO??
Speaking of Classic servers. I also don't understand Classic Era. I would LOVE to play some of that too BUT GUESS WHAT I just don't feel like it when I enter and see that like every realm is Low pop and probably dying. Why? There's over 30 realms for Classic Era on EU alone and somehow like 10 or so for WoTLK which just came out.... how does that work.....? Can you like... oh I don't know... maybe merge them....? So there's like just a few realms but they're actively decently populated? No?... Too hard?... Yea shocking.
There's just so many issues with Classic in my eyes and most of them aren't because the game is bad. The whole point of Classic is to experience the game as it was and I'm fine with that. But some of these issues are EASILY Solved if Blizz payed attention to it for like 1 minute. I don't know man.... I don't know.. Any case, hope you enjoyed the video!
Wrath of the Lich King is definitely my favourite expansion, and the one that I've invested most of my time into by far. Even though, now I haven't returned for Blizzard's WotLK classic, I still want to create some videos around it.
Everything with this expansion clicked for me perfectly - the lore, the setting, Northrend, PvE and PvP, how the classes felt, the questing and levelling... Just... chef's kiss. Brilliant.
So, in its honour, it's only fair to put out some content here and there and I do hope you enjoy them! :)
Hi there, it's been a little while (this is becoming a trend). But look. Honestly, I wasn't even planning to make any Wrath Classic launch videos, I was working on a FFXIV video before this. But as it launched, I thought about it a bit, and just decided to do it anyway. So I put my other work to the side and focused on this.
Now, I've been happily unsubbed from WoW for over a year now, but Wrath has to be the expansion that I've played the Most and feel the fondest of. That's what really got me into WoW and where I made so many memories. So, I thought... why not?
Farming and collecting various things in an MMO has to be the purest form of content. I've been unsubbed from WoW for a bit over a whole year now, but if I suddenly was forced to play I'd probably log in and do another Icecrown run to see if I get Invincible, to only then question my life after not receiving it for the millionth time... And of course be back to try next week. A potentially endless spiral into insanity :) That being said, I'm not even that big of a collector or completionist, I just kind of go for the stuff I want. And the best experience I've probably had with that is getting Ashes of Al'ar on my second or so Kael kill, which is also my favourite mount. Kind of recall how some people at the time were ranting to me how they haven't gotten it in hundreds and hundreds of tries and just fount it funny.
Phew, it's been quite a while since there's been a strict WoW upload on here, but you know, I just had to wrap up this amazing expansion with something. It was so amazing in fact, that I quit playing altogether for around 7 months now! Brilliant. Jokes aside, that's been on of the main reasons for the slower output of videos and the lack of WoW ones. I just didn't enjoy the game at all anymore, all my hope for it just ran out and I all my hope in Blizzard pretty much ran out. Cause of that, my inspiration and passion for making WoW videos kinda took a big hit. With Dragonflight announced, this is the first expansion I look at that I probably won't really care to try or purchase. A part of me still huffs on some copium and wishes all could just magically go back to normal and everything is great again so I can just play and enjoy the game, but I don't know if that's going to be as simple anymore. But oh well, I've always had fun making WoW videos and joking about silly topics that have to do with the game, so I'll probably try to continue making some of those whenever I can! Thank you for the patience and support :)
Even though I don't even main a healer, as a tank I've been having similar feelings and I can only imagine how much more damaging it is as a healer. Why do they do this. . .
Yes yes, I know. I haven't uploaded in a while. I'm not happy about it either, but hopefully I'll also post a whole video where I quickly address my feelings and what's been happening. For now I have been pretty much fully focusing on my twitch streams, which I encourage you to stop by sometime :) But of course, I still want to make youtube videos so for now I decided to make something a bit more simple so I can get back into the mix again. Thanks for the patience ❤
Hello. It's been a while! Sorry about that, I'm finally back from the shop with milk. So in all seriousness, I feel like I have a lot to talk about regarding WoW and my situation, but honestly I may make a separate video on that. But for now - I have quit playing WoW. The game and the company are just a shell of their former selves. There isn't a day for me that goes by where I don't think about the good times and memories I've had in WoW and how they aren't coming back. Even though I loved Classic initially, I was surprised how it also could fall in my eyes due to Blizzard's neglect. The whole situation is sad. Dumb decisions have been stacking for over 5 years now and the game is a mess. In recent times, every time I played WoW I had to stop every 10 minutes or so and ask myself "Where did it all go wrong?". I just don't think it's worth my time and money anymore. That isn't to say I'm quitting WoW content, I'm still not sure about that and will update you when I make a decision. This also doesn't mean I'm switching over to FFXIV content, it just so happened that I've been enjoying it on streams and I didn't feel okay making WoW centred videos. Also, I may be trying to put in some more time into streaming, because it's honestly been pretty enjoyable. So feel free to drop by :)
Rough times, huh? Not going to lie, it's been pretty tough for me to really address the state of WoW and Blizzard officially. It's hard. I've honestly been pretty done with them after having been disappointed for months now, even before the recent allegations which just made them that much worse in my eyes. But at the end of the day WoW and Blizzard used to be things that I treasured. Now it's just honestly pretty depressing to see what it has all become. As a creator, this also impacts me. Since the less I feel connected to the game I'm making content on, the harder it is to get inspired to make it or to have the motivation to come up with creative ideas. I could honestly go on about this topic for hours and already have many, many, many times. I'm just kind of tired. It never really gets better. For the longest time I've held on to hope as hard as I could, believing they'll turn it around and it'll all be okay again. But that never really happens anymore and at some point you just gotta stop straining yourself too much.
Anyway, I appreciate your guys' support so far. It means a lot! The future looks very blurry right now, but I'm sure we'll figure it out ❤
Hahah... heyy guys..! r-remember me? N-no? hahah.. that's okay... Well, the video is finally out. On the TBC Classic Launch Experience... not late at all! Yeah, sorry about that. Honestly I wasn't feeling too good about this video and my motivation for a lot of ideas I had about it started going down and honestly I should have cancelled it a few weeks ago and moved on with another project. But in truth, I'm just a bit dumb and hard-headed sometimes so I just really wanted to finish it and just decided to somewhat blindly stick through it. This, combined with some IRL things that have been slowing me down a bit and my interest in WoW and Blizzard especially going down, has somewhat impacted my desire to make content, or at least this video in particular. I had some fun levelling a new character through TBC classic and in general still enjoy classic WoW, but recently I've honestly just been trying out some other things, including Final Fantasy 14, and have been having fun with them. So right now I'm honestly kind of done playing with WoW for a bit, I might play again in several months, but for various reasons like the one mentioned I'll just pass. BUT! I am still interested in making some videos, so I'll try to focus on those and I guess we'll see what happens then! Thank you for the patience and support ❤
Damn, I honestly didn't mean for this video to take that long, was planning to straight up make one for the Launch itself after my last upload. But thought I'd make a short video on the tbc pre-patch and ended up making it a full machinima because I am dumb as a brick when it comes to planning stuff. :) Regardless, I'm suuuper pumped. The pre-patch launch was honestly somewhat unstable. With the Shadowlands launch I was honestly convinced they've started really getting the hang of these smooth launches and thought that that's what we'll see on TBC classic launch, but after that... oh boy. Let's just say I'm praying for their servers. As stated in the previous video, I still think there may be big issues with TBC, but I've honestly never played the expansion itself and had a ton of fun in Vanilla Classic, so I'm hyped to give TBC a go!
It's been a LONG time since I've had such great fun in an MMO and Classic definitely scratched that itch! I also had lots of fun making all the Classic content on the channel, so I thought that now would be a good time to give you guys my two cents on the topic. Big thanks to all of you for all of the support so far, you're amazing!
Thanks to Staysafe for allowing me to use a clip from his video, check it out!: youtu.be/XsuKODrYgyc
AH TORGHAST! Wow. Man I swear, this thing was the one of the most interesting concepts when it was being hyped up before Shadowland's release. I was genuinely very excited. What I imagined was something along the lines of Binding of Isaac that just felt like doing Maps in Path of Exiles or the equivalent in Diablo. I think this had and has great potential but I'm sad to say that I feel it's lacking right now.
Right now it just kind of feels like a slog to me. I'd only go there for my required weekly run, get my soul ash and then stack that soul ash for an eventual legendary that honestly didn't inspire me much. I remember thinking to myself "man I've already done my weekly torghast run but I really want to just run it a bit now for some extra rewards". Those rewards could be for example: transmogs, pets, toys, actually useful gear and other things. Honestly, I'd be much more excited to spam it for things like that rather than soul ash. Not to mention how boring and slow it is to run solo (not that it looks That much better in a group). And eventually, at one point, I just stopped doing my Torghast runs. I just didn't care anymore and still don't. I think this is super sad but I'm still hopeful that this can be a very important addition to the game that shapes future end-game content.
Well, here it is. Whether or not I'll regret this decision will be made clear with time :) But for now let's enjoy the mess You guys wrote. This started off kind of as a joke or a silly livestream event, but I thought that if we actually managed to somehow write a video script that made some sense and was silly enough, that I'd actually consider making into an actual video. And well... here we are.
Below in this description you'll find the full script to the video with the original chat messages :)

Script: Addiction - A touching story of love, betrayal and redemtpion
Bolvar was doing lines of Soulash in Oribos. Everything was normal until he started shaking and falling to the ground listening to one strange voice in his head. Whispering in his head:
- Why u let sylvanas kick your as*?
Bolvar remember the fight and rubs his a*s. He begged one of the DK servants for some ice to put on his nice bottom. Bolvar sniffs his fingers and says:
- Mmm.
Intrigued by his odd finger sniffing, a yak walked to him. Hemet shoots it. Bolvar does another line, and shouts at Hemet for killing his potential one- night-stand. Hemet screams at Bolvar:
- High lord, you have to keep it togehter! Bolvar replies: - You're right! But... I can't get over that as* beat Sylvanas gave me! *tears in his eyes*
A gang of brokers show up and tell Bolvar to pay up for the anima loan he used to get his soulash, after Bolvar refuses, they kick his as*.
- Not again - bolvar rubbed his round bottom again and looked out the window thinking of a way to repay his debt. Maybe mailbox dancing? Bolvar goes to Darnassus to seek wisdom on how to mailbox dance from night elves. He has no luck and moves to Goldshire. A hooded figure sits in the back of Lion's Pride inn (Like Aragon in Bree) he notices Bolvar. He offers him a ton of Anima in return for a favor. Bolvar thinks to himself: - This guy seems shady but I do need that anima to pay off my loans.
- Rate my transmogs... - The hooded figure says calmly to Bolvar. Bolvar says: - Deal, but I'll want you to rate my transmog as well!
The shady individual tells him it looks like sh*t without a helmet. The voice in his head reappeared and said: - Enough! You have to focus on how to regain your honor and instill fear in the bones of your enemies and bring down Sylvanas.
Bolvar has a training montage before jumping into the Maw with a raging battlecry and is immediatle obliterated by Sylvanas just casually shooting an arrow at him. In that moment Bolvar hears: - Bolvar, Bolvar wake up!
Flash back from the dragon fire. Bolvar looks at younger Bolvar and younger Bolvar says: - Your set is trash. After a great struggle with his thoughts, the Bolvar suddenly hears the encouraging voice of his old friend Tyrion: - You must cast off your shame and move on!
Bolvar arises with the encouraging words from Tyrion.
- I know what must be done... I am on my way.
Bolvar stands infront of the Runecarver and ask he can carft him a helmet. The Runecarver asks for soul ash and Bolvar starts shaking. Then there is this gnome coming with his soul ash that he farmed his entire month and then Bolvar kicks the gnome and steals his soul ash. Looks at the soul ash trying to resist. He sees a undead snorting soulash as a reminder.
Bolvar sits in the group therapy and says: - Well, and so I snorted all the soul ash. Magni says that he knows the feeling. Magni says: - I can feel her inside me, ooohh Azeroth... Bolvar looks extremely disgusted and accepts who he is thinking he doesn't want to fall that low.
Bolvar goes back to Oribos and meets up with Hemet, he puts his hand over his shoulder and thanks him. Hemet looks at him confused as Bolvar walks away, ready to start his new job as the Innkeeper of Oribos.
The Covenant system in Shadowlands is honestly pretty neat and I like all the different aesthetics. The issue for me so far is that the covenant abilities and skill trees can often be pretty busted on specific classes, which slowly pushes you to choose that one whether you want to or not.
After playing through all of the storylines, Venthyr was by far my favourite. Revendreth is pretty cool, the lore of it is nice and the campaign had some pretty good characters! So cause of that I decided to not look at any statistics and just choose it on my ret paladin.
The abilities were nothing special honestly, but I didn't think too much about it and went ahead to do my desired late game content - PvP. And oh boy, I can tell you it took me a couple of battlegrounds for me to start eyeballing what other ret paladins were capable of from the other covenants. Kyrian had busted burst damage, night fae had a lot more mobility which is amazing for ret paladins and necrolord has nifty additional DPS. Meanwhile, I was standing there to the side like some idiot trying to cast my 2 abilities with a cast time, only to be interrupted each time. It didn't feel great. I loved venthyr but I couldn't help but ask myself "What if...?". So yea! That wasn't really too good in my opinion but it is what it is.
Also the faeries from Ardenweald are creepy as hell, whoever of you thinks they're cute or something - there's something wrong with you! I MEAN LOOK AT THEM WHAT EVEN IS THAT
Man. Here we are guys. A new expansion. And oh boy has it brought a lot of things for us to experience. Legitimately, Shadowlands has had the single smoothest expansion launch for me. Everything was super seamless on my realm, no real MS lag or server crashes. This honestly surprised me so much, since the lag on pre-patch was horrendous, so I thought if they're struggling on that, it's almost certain of the actual launch to be a total mess. Thank god it wasn't the case, at least not for me!
There's definitely lots of things that came in Shadowlands worth talking about and discussing but there's one main takeaway you can get from me regarding the expansion... and that is.... THE RE-ADDITION OF PVP VENDORS OH MY GOD WOWWWW OH MY GOOOOD! I'm so happy they finally brought them back. To me it was pure insanity for them to be removed in the first place. Right now I'm just doing 98% PvP content, barely doing PvE and I'm having a blast, simply because I just love the feeling of cashing in my hard earned points for sick items that will eventually help me to body people more efficiently. God.
But yea! In regards to whether I think the expansion is good - I can't say yet. I've seen many people straight up come out and say "it's good", but for me it's way too soon to tell. I even enjoyed BfA at the beginning and look how that turned out! I'll just wait out the honeymoon period first and then really give my verdict on it, but so far it's pretty decent! (mainly cause of the pvp vendors :) )
Wish all of you all the best and Happy Holidays. Cheers.
#captaingrim #shadowlands #wowmachinimaGoodbye BfACaptain Grim2020-11-27 | Good riddance.
Father.... is it... over...? At long last... I can't lie, I'm a bit happy BfA's finally over and I can start slowly erasing it from my mind, but they say the most traumatic memories stick with you the longest, so who knows how that will work out! I basically wanted to make one last video to send off this GREAT expansion with, so I went through some scrapped scripts and ideas I've had regarding BfA and reworked some of them for this video. Hope you enjoy!
#wowmachinima #captaingrim #battleforazerothStruggles of a TankCaptain Grim2020-10-30 | You know, tanking is a lot like babysitting several children but, in this instance, they have machetes, grenades and guns. Your job is to try and protect them from hurting themselves or stop them from getting you killed. You're also perpetually in pain and on fire.
I honestly can't count the times that I as a tank have had to stop, take my hands away from my keyboard and hold my head for a moment. I have stood there, mouth wide open, starting at my brilliant DPS rush in head first in front of me into several packs of mobs or the times where the healers go on some dumb rant nobody cares about in the middle of a fight, instead of healing, causing us to die. I love tanking, cause as a tank you're kind of like the main character. You're the guy confronting all of the bosses and mobs and the rest of the group are your sidekicks. But sometimes those sidekicks are a bit too eager to stab you in the back.

#captaingrim #wowmachinima #shadowlandsRaiding! Classic VS BfACaptain Grim2020-10-12 | Thanks for watching ! Remember to Subscribe and share! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you ever raided in either Retail or Classic and realised how much of a mess it is and wanted to go back to do some raiding in the alternative option, but then you also realised that that is also a total mess but in generally different aspects? Yea. That's just how raiding is and in this video I'm taking a few scenarios from both retail and classic and then comparing them.
But yea sorry about the lack of uploads the past month! I wasn't feeling too great and it didn't help that I planned this video kind of poorly so it turned out a lot longer than I expected haha! But I just wanted to make 1 more Classic WoW related video before I turn my attention primarily towards Retail, especially since Shadowlands is just around the corner. I also thought that I hadn't done one of these Classic VS Retail videos in a long while, so I thought it's a good opportunity for that.

So!... Shadowlands huh? Honestly, it's looking pretty exciting guys. After BfA I remain a bit sceptical, but lots of the changes and additions to the game look great. One big thing, is all the customization additions to the barber! Blizzard finally embraces the true end-game of World of Warcraft, indeed - fashion. You must compete with everyone else to have the coolest transmog and the most interesting character appearance! Who cares if you get all those [Ahead of the Curve] achievements when you look like total trash?
You want to stick some random flowers and leaves in your hair? The barber's your guy. You want to have a blind eye for no reason? The barber's your guy. You want to change your character's gender? *The barber's your guy*... They've become very flexible over the years, haven't they? It all just started with some facial reconstructions and chiropractor sessions. Even the base stuff in Shadowlands, like the facial hair options, hairstyles and accessories are great additions to the game and I hope we get more of them as time goes on!

#shadowlands #captaingrim #wowmachinimaStruggles of Buff DispellersCaptain Grim2020-07-19 | With the recent news surrounding a priest who was banned for 6 months for dispelling a livestreamer on Classic WoW, I just thought it's a perfect opportunity to make this short continuation of my recent "Struggles of Playing Classic Part 2" video. I know a lot of people want to banish every dispeller to the shadow realm, but them getting banned for that cause some livestreamer asked? That's pretty hilarious and unnecessary. I personally don't think a player needs to be banned for something like this. In addition, people argue that world buffs should be changed so they can't be dispelled. But I don't think that is necessary. At the end of the day people can comfortably raid even without world buffs, not to mention some of the main ones like the Dragonslayer one are already undispellable! There's no need to focus on try-harding/min-maxing all the time and getting the highest parses. It's an old game with very specific annoying things in it. It's equally annoying to me to get polymorphed/frozen for 1 minute as a warrior or something. If a player chooses this annoying style of gameplay, sure! let them go with it. We can call them annoying idiots and stuff like that but at the end of the day it shouldn't be something for people to grab their pitchforks to demand to be removed. Also, it can be much worse than getting dispelled... you can just straight up be ganked and killed. :)
The GM royally messed up and I just thought it's pretty funny how well this situation fits the format of the dispell segment of the previous video. It's the cruel food chain of World of Warcraft I'm afraid...

#captaingrim #wowclassic #wowmachinimaGreedy Players in a Nutshell - WoW Classic MachinimaCaptain Grim2020-07-13 | Ah questing in Classic. Isn't it great to come home after a busy day, have a snack, maybe a drink and load up Classic to level one of your alts until you get sick of it. Relaxing right? Well some of these times you just might come across some of the most annoying players in the game. I mean, if you're on a PvP realm it's already bad enough to have to watch your back all the time, but what happens when even players from your faction turn out to be your biggest obstacles. You can't even kill them! The infuriating experience of finding someone already at your questing spot, who's just too thickheaded and greedy to understand that it might be better to quest together, rather than act like some cool pro gamer edge-lord that can clear out the whole are himself and expecting every mob to be owed to him. God, those people need help! But oh well. Once in a while you just might see some players like that greedily tag one too many mobs, which would then lead to their horrible demise. And at the end of the day, isn't that the sweetest experience? :)
Big thanks to Tiik (twitter.com/Aye_Tiik), for the great ogre doodle on the quest pamphlet at the beginning!
#captaingrim #wowclassic #wowmachinimaStruggles of Playing Classic [2]Captain Grim2020-06-23 | Sometimes playing a video game will bring you more pain than pleasure. This especially hold true about Classic WoW :)
The game is so immersive, that when something horribly annoying happens, you feel it very strongly in real life. Pure agony... But that's one reason why we love it after all!
There's honestly so many of these small moments that could be thought of that I could make dozens of videos about them, whether that happens I don't know! But here is the part 2 to the original Struggles of Playing Classic Video. Enjoy! :)
Big thanks to my patreon Wormy, who corrected me on some initial mistakes within the video's Patreon release.

It's been a while! And I'm happy to present my very first non-fully machinima WoW video! Crazy I know. The whole plan was for me to take it chill and make a non-machinima video so I don't have to work too hard, with my finals coming up. But this video ended up requiring more work than a regular machinima! so there you have it :)
The topic of the Corrupted Blood incident has honestly been covered to death. Especially when doing research for this video, I realised how many MANY articles and videos there are on it, and now with covid-19 being a thing and the two topics having some similarities, even MORE content has been made on it. It's nuts. Maybe I could have skipped making a video on this topic, but I have been planning this one for months and finally decided to get it done. I also just thought that it was a fun topic to cover in a non-machinima manner, so it is what it is!
And finally, with all of this virus chaos recently, I thought it's only right to try and raise some awareness around donating to those in need and the brave people on the front-lines, so they can have better chances making it out alive and well!
Thanks for watching as always! Be sure to Subscrabee if you liked the video, comment and share it around :)
#worldofwarcraft #captaingrim #shadowlandsDPS in a Nutshell - WoW Classic MachinimaCaptain Grim2020-03-21 | There's something magical about gazing longingly into that DPS meter, every fight, and try your best to climb those ranks to the very top. If you succeed, you ascend, becoming one with the universe. But sometimes Xxxfeetdestroyer, comes in and shatters your dreams by getting to the top with a better class than you, then proceeding to post the DPS stats from the previous fight a couple of times just to establish how much better they are.
DPS are a special and you can't live with them or without them.
#wowclassic #wowmachinima #captaingrimThe Most Annoying Class in Classic WoWCaptain Grim2019-11-29 | Have you ever walked around Orgrimmar on your puny level 40 Shaman and have wondered how that level 40 Mage already has a mount? He's made over 100 gold simply by selling portals to desperate people. Have you ever played a warrior and came across a Mage in the open world who's 10 levels below you, but even then you know that you are but a mere spec of dust before his powerful existence? You mean nothing to them. Have you ever felt irrelevant when you see 4 mages group up to clear an instance 40 times with ease and level 50 times fast than you? Yea? well me too! ... That's why I decided to make a mage myself hahaha!
It has been an enlightening experience that has allowed me to study these creatures and understand them better. They have clearly ascended and are several dimensions above us! They're also pretty fun to play to be fair!
Well a few days ago Blizzard graciously slammed the Shadowlands Cinematic Trailer, for us to enjoy... but did we? *Vsauce music plays*
Personally, I didn't feel it that much. I used to be extremely interested in warcraft lore but nowhere nearly as much, as of the last few expansions. Needless to say, I wasn't personally too stoked with this one. Especially how they're handling Sylvanas.
Some people have white knight-ed the trailer, Sylvanas and the lore, so vigorously and ferociously that I just couldn't help to find it amusing. So combining all of these elements I decided to make a short machinima to satirize and poke fun at the topic!
#shadowlands #wowmachinima #captaingrimEscort Quests in a Nutshell - WoW Classic MachinimaCaptain Grim2019-10-20 | Escort quests have always been a treat to do. A treat that is trying to end you that is. The NPCs you have to escort are usually very special. They will jump into combat like lunatics, pull lots of mobs and batter you with silly monologues. This video puts all of these things in a nutshell for you to enjoy and potentially give you some PTSD.
Ahh Classic. Sometimes you make me want to end myself in many various ways, but even through all of that I love you. There's so many memorable moments I've made so far, that were mostly caused due to the insane "struggles" or "troubles" you have to deal with when playing Classic. And i'm not even near level 60 yet! I personally can't remember the last time I've laughed out loud so often when playing a video game, it's been nuts! In this short video I decided to depict some of those struggles a player has to go through.
This video idea was honestly planned for a bit further down the line, but after a recent community post I made where I asked you guys what you found stressful when playing Classic, I got so many great answers that I've also experienced, that I got motivated to put this video together first!

#classicwow #wowmachinima #captaingrimThe Classic WoW Launch ExperienceCaptain Grim2019-09-09 | God, I've experienced so much fun and ... so much .. Pain, in Classic over the last couple of weeks. And I love every bit of it. I already have so many memorable moments it's nuts. And to be honest with you, I think the Launch was actually pretty stable, there was a decent amount of lag and crashing in the beginning but I honestly had a way worse experience at the launch of BfA. Well I hope you like the video and stick around for more! And remember to look me up on Patreon, if you're interested, and join the Discord for updates and to hang out in general.
#wowmachinima #wowclassic #captaingrimThe Struggles of a Healer - WoW Classic MachinimaCaptain Grim2019-08-26 | GUYS! GUYSSS!! GUYSSSSS!!! IT'S FINALLY HERE! TODAY IS THE DAY! god I'm so excited I haven't changed my pants since blizzcon the announcement I decided to make this short video in the spirite of the WoW Classic Launch and will spend all day tomorrow just playing it, nothing else. I'm interested to see how everything goes, as my next video will most likely be the Classic Launch Experience, and I just want to have some experience first hand!
#wowclassic #wowmachinima #captaingrimGetting Help From Others! Classic VS Retail - WoW MachinimaCaptain Grim2019-08-15 | Have you ever struggled with a quest and a brave, and possibly bored, random player has come to your aid and helped you out? Well this is what we cover in today's machinima video! We'll take a look at how people in classic and BfA get help from strangers to complete a quest! After all, healthy relations within the community is what shapes a great online game.
Also, apologies for the absence! I have been on a 2 week long holiday, after which my computer had some issues and wouldn't work properly, so I had to get that sorted. But everything's good now so we should be back to our regular... irregular schedule.

#wowmachinima #captaingrim #wowclassicHow FEAR Works in WoW - WoW MachinimaCaptain Grim2019-07-13 | Hai, it's me again. I have a question for you today! Have you ever wondered what makes your badass World of Warcraft character whimper like a small child in pure horror when the Fear spell is cast on them? What kind of illusions can possibly be plaguing the mind of those who are willing to face old gods, elemental lords and alien civilizations????... Well, I decided to make a video which tries to depict a few of the horrors WE, our character, may experience while under the influence of the Fear spell!
#captaingrim #wowmachinima #worldofwarcraftQuest Rewards! Classic VS Retail - WoW MachinimaCaptain Grim2019-06-26 | Now for a moment, I just want you to imagine that you are peacefully at home, after a rough day, so you decide to lay down on the bed a bit. You don't live in some really fancy place, but it's alright and the rent is low. Suddenly, from behind the thin walls, you hear you neighbour screaming out of nowhere "OH MY CHAMPION YOU'RE FINALLY BACK! CHAMPION LET ME HAVE YOUR BABIES !!", which for some reason is also followed by lots of kissing noises and very loud licking noises. The weirdest part is that your neighbour repeats these lines around 10 times for some reason. And there you are, questioning your existence. That neighbour you want to move away from... is me.. of course. who else? I DO THIS FOR YOU GUYS ! But in any case, this is exactly how I feel about questing and its rewards! To be honest, I personally don't really mind our characters becoming "THE ULTIMATE MEGA COOL SAVIOURS OF AZEROTH" or anything, but it can be a bit silly! Also, ughh..., I don't mind if blizzard put their point systems like artifact power and azerite, if implemented nicely of course, but god they're such unsatisfying rewards for me! Having said that, that nowadays getting gear rewards is kind of pointless as there can be many ways to get gear and even have it titan forge, but yea.. It's not my cup of tea personally!

#captaingrim #wowmachinima #worldofwarcraftWorld PvP ! Classic VS Retail - WoW MachinimaCaptain Grim2019-06-06 | The Classic part is phase 2 in a nutshell now really. I remember in the first few months of BfA I was really excited to do World PvP! Why wouldn't I be? The whole expansion was based on the idea of horde fighting alliance and vice versa. So there I was, with my human paladin running towards a horde invasion in Tiragarde Sound, all lubed up and ready to battle. First thing that struck me was, that there were very few people in this zone but eventually I found Hordes doing their world quests in that area! I saw that there were also some Alliance nearby, so putting faith into them that they would come to aid me, I jumped on the horde and started attacking like a wild beast! A few seconds into me hitting 1 of the Horde and barely dealing any damage, I realise i'm the only one trying to pvp in an area with around 15 people. Like some weird kid who wasn't invited to a party but went anyways, I was totally ignored and surprised. So I stopped and ran away, ashamed, crying. Turns out, everyone just wants to do their dumb world quests, and only pvp if a quests requires them to. So many times have I just crossed paths with a Horde and we would just walk right past each other like we are friendly. I mean, that's fine usually don't get me wrong! But I don't feel the sense of threat anymore, as I did in STV in earlier expansions. It's complete chaos there and I can't wait to dive in it once Classic launches.
#captaingrim #wowmachinima #worldofwarcraftStruggles of Raid Bosses - WoW MachinimaCaptain Grim2019-04-21 | Heh. Hello there... did you miss me? ... No?.. oh. I mean, yea that's okay!.. but I missed you. And now I'm here again to give you uncomfortable hugs that you don't really want to receive. Please, remember to Share the video and subscribe if you enjoy! :)
This is my new World of Warcraft Machinima, which is another story, similar to the one in my "Unseen Struggles of NPCs" video, but this time we focus on raid bosses! This time, having Pinecone the Black Dragon as the main victim to the ruthless player base's ways. I think, we have hurt those bosses more than they have hurt us... they're even stuck in some weird limbo where we kill them every week.
Ah..! It always feels so nice and fresh when a new expansion releases. haha..hah...ha.. oh yea, also the pain..the pain... Well, wasn't as bad as WoD launch i guess!
#captaingrim #wowmachinima #worldofwarcraftThe Hunter Mentality - WoW MachinimaCaptain Grim2018-07-06 | A quick summary of a Hunter's whole life. That's why when I search for people to invite to raid, I want a hunter... for this... yes...
LOOK! I know i've been a bit inactive - PUT THAT KNIFE DOWN! - I've been very busy! Mainly with editing for Krucial (youtube.com/channel/UCNULFZWbDbIPMFzDdiq4HeQ), it's been great fun and it's also an opportunity for me to learn lots of useful things and work towards stabilizing my own channel in future. I'll look to be more active with some various content, WoW mainly for now, but not only machinimas! Thank you for understanding :)
#captaingrim #wowmachinima #worldofwarcraftHappy Feet - WoW MachinimaCaptain Grim2018-01-12 | Hey, it is I, Captain Grim. This is my new short machinima that revolves around my experience with the 7 day buff "Happy Feet" which you get by attending the Auction House Dance Party. It makes your character to begin randomly dancing at any point. Which I thought was pretty funny and frustrating. I'd go up to someone and be all like "aw man ill stand infront of this guy all badass-like till he sees my transmog and becomes jelous. But out of nowhere I begin dancing like some weirdo, after being reported to the police several times I tried to do some raiding and PvP to truly feel like a badass again, but nope I continued dancing... So this is why this .. "masterpiece" was created - in a way to vent my frustrations/feelings. Hope you enjoy!

Now, what a better way to start the year off than with a nice and relaxing machinima, eh?
Here we take a in-depth look into the minds of two boar NPCs in Westfall - Steven and Jeffrey. Let's see how they deal with a, possibly, daily interaction.
To be completely frank with you, man, this machinima hit me hard. I don't know. I grew so attached to Steven and Jeffrey's low polygon mugs while aniamting them in Blender. So I hope you like it as well!

Hey, It's me, Grim. This is a really quick and short video which I decided to put together since my Main project is taking tooo toooo long to create. I will be releasing a trailer/teaser and the whole thing when I have them done, but as things are my computer isn't able to keep up with my passion, meaning it's pretty old now so heavy editing takes quite a while.
