Greatfather Winter

Happy Monday all. If you were not sure Winter Veil starts on the 16th so what better time to share my favourite Warcraft themed Winter Veil song. So as always a thanks to Cranius for his wonderful contribution.

 

Still can't help but sing along eh?

Dragonborn

So here we are on Monday recovering from the fact that there will be no new Game of Thrones episodes for almost a year. I know it is an awful thing isn't it. If you haven't seen it make sure you stay away from the internet until you do if you want to avoid spoilers. With that in mind you may or may not have came across the fact that Cranius and Legs have released a new machinima/song for all of us to enjoy and well thought a video called Dragonborn really was a great choice for a day like today. So enjoy!



There you have it? Worth the wait for a new collaboration from the two of them? Hopefully we won't have to wait as long for the next one!

Tale of Tongues

So many of you may be aware I am a big fan of Cranius. Ever since Big Blue Dress was a thing I just couldn't have got enough. Then when he paired himself with Legs they have created countless great machinima for all of us to enjoy. So when I saw Tale of Tongue their new song and video I just couldn't help and share it with all of you. So enjoy!



Trust me I know.

Greatfather Winter

Monday! Why am I so excited you ask? Well it is time for me to showcase one of my favourite machinima and holiday songs once again. That's right there is no pointless babble in order to intro the topic. You see Greatfather Winter is amazing because even though winter veil is a WoW thing this is almost a gamer anthem to the holidays. Also it may have the best line in music "something violet something loud something to disperse a crowd".Truly one of Cranius' best among so many amazing songs. So get ready here it is.




Gets more awesome every year

Fix You

Machinima Monday! Yes it is that time of the week. Time to get rid of your depression because I have a video to showcase to all of you. Now there has been quite a few times when I have shown the great work Cranius and Legs produce. What I did not realize is I have never showcased Fix You. It is a song which actually has some meaning to myself with some things I have been through. It also is the prequel to one of my favourite machinima's of all time The Story. So sit back and enjoy the beautiful animation and the great singing the two of them combine to deliver. I give you Fix You




Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I do. Be sure to check out all of Cranius and Legs videos if you haven't seen them you will enjoy them.

Lament of Captain Placeholder

Monday... Yes I feel like it is a worse Monday then normal. For what reason? I have no clue really. So when I came to decide what machinima would be my showcase f or this Machinima Monday. I thought I would go along with the same theme that I had yesterday when I was talking about "remember when". So for those that don't know there was a time when certain things in WoW didn't work as they were supposed to. Boats would drop you in the middle of the ocean locking out your character. So Blizzard created a Captain. Known only as Captain Placeholder. When you talked to him he would instantly port you to the other side without a need to ride a ship. All great things though couldn't last and Blizzard fixed their problem and Captain Placeholder was retired. And now at the end of the story I leave you with this



Hope you enjoyed it. It made my Monday much better.

The Story

Monday Morning. Yes it is that. Being Monday though makes it time for Machinima Monday. Over the last few weeks people have asked me to do some older machinima that they may not have seen. Also some have been asking recently why I never showcase some of the music videos that are made. First of all I don't mind parodies or anything like that. I have a real problem with Blood Elf rap I am not a fan of it at all. But this week I decided to make both sides happy. Going to a staple being Cranius, but not to one of his original songs. One that he covered that also has an excellent video prepared by Legs. It is The Story Orignally by Brandi Carlile I hope you like it.

Hope this started your work week out well.

Greatfather Winter

It is Monday and it is that time of year. The feast of Winter Veil doesn't officially start till Thursday, but to me it has already started. Many of you know I am a big fan of Cranius and his song Greatfather Winter has become a Christmas Classic for me just as was intention when he wrote it. So every year I get excited and every Christmas playlist I have includes this song. Of course their also is a great video to go along with it, but here it is Greatfather Winter. I will also include the lyrics so you can feel free to sing along.

Listen children young and old
Gather 'round and you'll be told
It's tradition every year
Winter Veil is drawing near
Listen up today's the day
Father Winter's on his way
Bringing with him treats and toys
Giving them to girls and boys

Greatfather Winter won't you bring
Something for my stocking
Something shiny something bright
Some goggles I can use at night
Greatfather Winter don't be late
For that day we just can't wait
So bring us lots of treats and toys
And fill our Winter Veil with joy

See the presents at the tree
A blunderbuss for you and me
Don't you cry and don't you pout
Don't you shoot your eyeballs out
Sip the eggnog try some cake
Find the Greench for goodness sake
Fly a reindeer 'cross the sky
Don't fall off or you might die

Greatfather Winter won't you bring
A Turbo-Charged Flying Machine
Some rocket boots that make me fly
And I just want a motorbike
Greatfather Winter won't you please
We're begging you down on our knees
So bring explosives and a gun
And then we'll surely have some fun

So grab your girlfriend just like so
And kiss her at the mistletoe
If you want some epic loot
Pick her up a winter suit
Buy a pint of Winter Ale
Drink too much and you will fail
Turn yourself into a Gnome
Send a stolen reindeer home

Greatfather Winter won't you bring
A Clockwork Rocket Bot for me
Something violent, something loud
Something to disperse a crowd
Greatfather Winter can't you see
We're excited as can be
So bring us lots of treats and toys
And fill our Winter Veil with joy

Now that you are in the spirit. Good luck this reset!

Darrowshire

It is Monday normally very depressing, but it is a holiday here so it isn't quite as bad as a normal Monday. Monday's are also time for me to showoff some of the great machinima out there. Speaking of that, for those who don't know I am a big fan of Cranius he has done some great work creating his own original songs dealing directly with WoW. This one Darrowshire has to do with the questline in its entiriy. I don't know in fact \in the question chain remains the same after Cataclysm but that takes nothing away from the machinima and the story it tells. So for your viewing pleasure here is Cranius and Darrowshire.

Old Spices

So I don't think there is anyone who doesn't enjoy the Old Spice Man commercials. They are not only absolutely genius but amazingly awesome. So what does this have to do with World of Warcraft you ask? Well that is simple Cranius and Legs have teamed up again to give us this.



So yes I certainly laughed at this countless times and kept watching it. My only complaint is that instead of "I am on a horse" should have been "I am on a kodo" would have made it that much better.

Like always if you seem some great machinima let me know about it. Or if it is machinima you created tell me about it. I love watching what the warcraft community has to offer and what they put together.

On that note send my your Embersilk I am leveling Tailoring still.
