No kidding.. If you want to document a run for people to use as a guide you cannot go running around level 61-62 instances with lvl 70s geared out and expect it to be useful.. may as well have Nihilum doing it for all intents and purposes.

One problem with doing mmo's on consoles has always been resources. I have 4 gigs of ram and a 64 bit machine, so WoW can only use 2 gigs of that, but it typically is.

The PS2 by contrast has 32 megs of ram and 4 megs of vram. And it had to load everything off DVD-ROM.

I think if WoW was designed to run under similar restrictions I'm sure it would be cut back as well.

EQ2 on the flip side looks better than WoW and its the same vintage.

Its a good thing Blizzard did not make WoW on the console.

The PC is the ultimate console.

btw I just built a new PC

Vista 64
4 gigs of ram
3.0 ghz cpu
512 ddr3 video card (pcie 2.0)
Raid 0

Its so fast I can click and be at the logon screen

Couldn't agree more. I don't remember ever seeing this guy, though. He must have been on only for a few season, I guess. Leo Laporte and Patrick Norton FTW.

I got G4 last year, so I never saw it as TechTV. I admit to liking a lot of its shows, though. (And what can I say; Blair Butler FTW.)

Actually, Alex Albrecht co-hosted an episode of "Attack of the Show!" last December, and he gave WoW Insider a mention. Had it not been for me catching that particular episode, I would have never heard of this website, and by extension WC Radio, Big Bear Butt, BigRedKitty, or countless other resources. So because of that, I will always have a soft spot for him.

Awww, do they teach frat boys how to spell homosexual in English? I'm sorry, this isn't the repressed, closeted gay hour - your princess is in another castle.

Go play in some traffic, if the WoW Forums are down. Protip: call the guy driving the Hummer a 'homosexual'. I bet you can run faster!

man they are gay look at them, the hummer is just a cover up to confuse people

TotalBiscuit, thanks for the info on WoW radio.

I think what this will really be good for is indeed for players like me - i'm 4.5 levels away from levelling my first main, and although I try to cut down on too many spoilers, this sort of content, with good clear images and good production values will be useful once I start hitting heroic dungeons.

I want something similar to this, but a good quality video walk through of various useful addons.

TB, i commend you chaps over at Wow radio, however stop hating and give these guys a chance.

This is the first run, was your first Bluez PlZ your best show?

Yes it appears on the initial trail these guys don't really have a clue about how to run a dungeon (100G says reg SH eats them alive) , but lets see them amp it up on heroic and see what happens.

Woah there Unknown, there's no hate here. As always, I'm merely pointing out what's wrong with the work. Professionals deal with criticism on a daily basis, and so they should, for no work is perfect.

You've pointed out the main problem with this production, they don't seem to know anything about the instances. Now for a series who's focus is 'how to do instances', that's something of a fatal flaw, don't you think? It's not a case of production values, or the nitty-gritty, their entire format isn't fit for purpose. Now either they need to rebrand it and stop pretending that it's supposed to help people run instances, or they need to go back to the drawing board and totally rework what they're doing.

It is also not unreasonable to 'expect more' from professionals. Shows can and do improve over time but if they're stuck in a rut from the get go because their entire concept and format is fatally flawed, then they're not going to go anywhere.

How the hell is it fun to watch? They down the dragon in 15 seconds and then ooh-n-awww as one 70 with epics loots the letter for the lvl 60 thrallmar quest. One guy is yelling "link the loot" while sporting the triptych shield of the ancients from Chest. ??? I guess this makes for a wipe-free broadcast. I can't wait to see the Blackfathom Deeps run!
