Commenting for the algorithm and also because the Tauren are super under-appreciated in modern WOW and we definitely need more people to learn about them
After years of playing hearthstone and months of watching your content for context on the general WOW lore, I finally started playing wow myself yesterday- as a Tauren. For the horde!
I always thought Baine would have something to do with the night fae covenant. Seeing as we got Huln in the 9.1 night fae quest made me excited. No everyone else who got captured was doing something else. Jaina talking with Uther. Thrall and his mom. Anduin off to the giant picknick in thw sky with the jailor. Heck they even replaced baine with bolvar in the raid fight. They did our boy baine dirty.
"Bouldery bedrock of a fat dumpy" not a description I ever thought I'd hear

When i heard the victory music i shed a tear.
Gotta reload classic wc3 again 👍
@@Solus5048 i wish i got the classic, now if i wanna play it i have to buy the shitty blizzard version

As a media designer, I agree. This was a very fluent cut.
That tauren family joke in the sauna, so stupid yet so wholesome and funny
Better than that human dad jokes in previous video, lol
No kidding I just kept laughing at that part especially the part where the female Tauren shield and the baby eyes and The shaman came in
these are real Tauren in-game jokes from /silly :D
