World of Warcraft Southpark episode

I guess most wow players on GD have already seen it but for who didn't, here it is. ****ing hilarious as they seem to know a lot about the game and community :D |
Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
Idd, its really funny, but I think the story could be a bit better than the "uber high level who kills admins" etc, like them endlessly grinding to take down some boss etc and then farming them and gearing up for the next boss and rinseing + repeating (we all know that WoW is an endless grind)

Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
On the mid-season finale of Stargate Atlantis they had Dr. Weir talking to Dr. Lee about WoW to stall him, and he said he was a lvl 75 Mage. I was like, come on all the effort they put in this show and they couldn't even research the game enough to know the highest level is 60.

I didn't think it was that funny, actually.
Most of the jokes about WoW geeks and their obsession have been done better on various parodies/comics/videos on the net. The only good jokes were the ones that were based around South Park characters - like when Butters turned up in the game with the same skin as Cartman. |
Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
I did like Kyle as the Female character.

Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
How do you kill that which has no life?!

Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
Paper dolls have never been so damn cool.

Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
I enjoyed it as well.
Like you say though for a southpark episode elements of it were a little lack luster and it felt almost like a day-in day-out recount of the average WoW session lol. Now.. if the invincible dude had been say maybe a shammy it would have been more believable :P |
Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
I thought it would've been a little more interesting if you find out at the end it was Butters or one of the other kids.

Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
Enjoyed it, Ace :)

Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
It made me remember why I quit WoW :)

CHUCK NORRIS FTW LOL
The episode was alright, Stan's dad was pretty hilarious. |
Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
this is by far the best series of south park, or perhaps any cartoon of its sort. Just a shame i can't get a hold of the "propper" uncensored second half of cartoon wars.

The WoW episode was alright, but nowhere near as good as some of the stuff from the first few seasons; I wouldn't say that Season 10 is suddenly the best season ever based on a single episode, especially when it was reasonably average. |

Since it gained a social conscience (and a purpose) it has become a great show. I am not attacking its beginnings because without it it would have been an irrelevance. |
Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
I don't actively dislike South Park now; I'll be one of the last to complain if an episode gets put on and I'd have to watch it, because it's still rather amusing.
The last season I watched, and which contained several really good episodes was in fact Season 8; I watched the first few episodes of Season 9, but then couldn't be bothered to keep watching as it didn't really seem that great anymore. I'm not sure why, it just seemed to turn into a "been there, done that" deal, as had several S8 episodes already been. |
Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
I thought the episode was rather ordinary, it certainly didn't have me rolling in the isles.
I suppose this is what they wanted me to think: Quote:

Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
Actually the people behind Southpark aproached Blizzard to ask them if they could make an episode about WoW. They've been said to be gamers.
|
Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
I thought it was pretty shit, probably the worst episode of the season so far.

I thought it was reasonably funny. I'm not a particular Southpark fan, and if I wasn't a WoW player it would obviously not have been so amusing to me. I didn't think it was particularly taking the piss out of WoW players and in fact I thought it was quite affectionate toward the game, giving me the impression that the creators/writers play themselves.

Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
Has anyone here who hasn't played WoW and knows relatively little about it watched the cartoon?
Everyone I've spoken to who's seen it has played WoW at some point. I'm just interested to see what people think of it who haven't experienced the game at all. (someone like yahwe, perhaps) |

They could have made it more WoW-like, instead of having an alliance guy wearing a plate helm stabbing other alliance players with a dagger.
They didn't even have any Chuck Norris jokes :( |
Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
thatw as probably the best south park episode ive seen and i hate south park

ive never played WoW, and i did find it quite funny, not hilarious but it was very watchable

Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
One of the most funny Southpark episodes ever :-) I've never played WoW, but have quite considerable MMORPG experience - it translates extremely well to other MMORPGS. I do feel they could have done more with the theme, but it was very good :)

I enjoyed it - it was a good laugh and it was amusing to watch Cartman command everyone and battle against the man with no life. You wouldn't want every episode to be like that (much like Buffy's Once More With Feeling singing episode) but it was a good episode. |

Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
True, there are some fun fights like Vaelstrasz is fun at first, so is Chromaggus (especially when one of his afflictions is time lapse) but it does get repetitive and boring - after some time you're just doing the same bosses over and over to get gear in order to help your progress in the next instance.

Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
I watched it for tom.
As a set piece of comedy I thought the episode was a bit 'lack-luster'. I confess that while i am aware of southpark I would not normally choose to watch it. I could not quite understand why there was so little 'in game' footage when the game was sop central to the plot (perhaps they presumed the audience was familiar with the game). In all I think the plot failed because it tried to do too much. It tried to both look at the humorous and anthapological aspects of this 'second life' phenomina and also to crow bar in gags about computer 'nerds' in a generic sense. I think those two aims were far too conflicting and given there were only 20 odd minutes I don't think it achieved either. Perhaps an analogy better expresses my meaning: it was like the sexually attractive geek. It would have pulled if it had committed to it's geekiness and not been ashamed. But the continual self deprecation made it unattractive. |
Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
Chromaggus was never fun, the fight takes too long. Vael's still good though.
|
Re: World of Warcraft Southpark episode
Chromaggus depends on your class, as a Paladin I found learning the encounter with Time Lapse very fun, I was with the hunters cleasing and healing them while throwing random heals to the raid, I loved the running in and out in time.
Other classes might find it boring though, but they get more fun at other bosses (Firemaw for example, and I nuking Vael with burning adrenaline would be fun) |
