Chen and Lili are among my favorite characters in wow, yet I had no idea they had this much story to them. I knew that they started from an art piece that a blizzard artist brought into work to celebrate the birth of his daughter, which then turned into an April fools joke that the community got upset about, but I thought that beyond that Chen would be just a reference until the Pandaria expansion. Very interesting, I'm getting those comics for sure.
Imagine if what Chen said was true and that all problems can be solved with Ale. Daelin: Kill all the orcs! Chen: sure sure... but first... how about a drink? You must be tired from all that sailing! Daelin: ... *a few hours later* Daelin: shhe used to be sho cute you know... you shhould have sheen her when shhe wash little... I would've gone on another war just to shee her shmile you know... but then her teenage years came and she started to hang out with that no good Arthas! Have you heard? He actually purged a whole city! I don't want my daughter hanging around shomeone like that! ... hic. Chen: there there... let it all out...
ive been a pandaren main since the Mop beta, but i never acturally knew the whole story here, only snippets of it, thank you Nobbel, a wonderful tale as always ^^
Haven't played it in a while, but I mained Chen in Heroes of the Storm. It's so satisfying watching the whole enemy team unloading their cooldowns on me and I'm just standing there, drinking, barely taking any damage. Also, flying-kick-ing to land behind the enemy healer, popping the Barrel ultimate, then pushing the healer back for my team to kill. Also, standing in the line of fire of an enemy Nova trying to snipe my teammate. Also just body-blocking an enemy from escaping my teammates' ults. So many fun things you could do with this Bear in a hat.
I really wonder why Lili is still a child. She was a child when we first met Nomi in Pandaria and now in BFA she is still so small but Nomi is all grown up xD I wonder if Lili maybe suffers from dwarfism :P
plueschtier79 I blame it on the limitation of Pandaren children model, perhaps Nomi was like 12/13 in MoP and has grown significantly these year as a teenager while Lili is a child growing into an older child.
I picked Horde for my pandaren monk during MoP to honor the friendship between Chen and Rexxar. I haven't played that character since. I might dust it off, if we get the pandaren heritage armor at some point.
Chen Stormstout is one of the most important character in Warcraft 3, he played a major role in the Founding of Durotar by helping Rexxar, but in the current story line its seems that he only play a minor role.
Daelin: KILL THEM ALL! Chen: How about a drink instead? Daelin: Well...I have been at sea. (10 pints later) Daelin: Imma serrury....wantin wer and shall dat..... Woulda murray mah daughter ya half orcy oger bashtered....ya got gains ya do! Rexxar: ............ Jaina: Kill me.... -_-
Good one. Personally, I imagined Daelin going into sort of a drunken frenzy state. Like Demoman from TF2 going full on drunken Demoknight. Daelin 10 pints later : "If you think yere betther than me.. y-you have another thing commin".. *Daelin wobbling around clearly drunk trying to hold his weapon and point it at Chen* Chen : *raises his eyebrow and proceeds to knock the Admiral out cold with a precise strike* "Can't handle your brew huh ?" Afterwards they let Daelin rest in a house nearby with a big keg of water next to his bed. There's a note strapped to the top of the keg saying : " It is important to master the brew and not let it master You. And drink a lot of water. -Chen Stormstout"
This is a really nice change of pace , I had missed your "story of character videos" and the past few are definitely great and explore interesting characters. Great work, hope you're doing well .
Next week? NEXT WEEK? and what am I supposed to do until next week? BibleThump I've never commented on a youtube video before, but I want to thank you so much for all your videos, which I watch like an assignment. Seeing a video about a character from WC3 which I grew up with just fills me with joy, much love
Hi Nobbel! New subscriber here, loving your videos already! I was thinking if you could make a series with introductory lore, for players who don't want WoW spoilers but would like to have an idea about what they should know as a starting player (such as your regent, the most recent events, your nation/tribe's current relationship with the others). It could be something like "Lore you should know starting as a Human in WoW Classic", or "Lore you should know starting as a Bloodhoof Tauren", and such. It would be very handful to roleplayers who want to learn the knowledge their character should already have, without being spoiled of the mysteries that the game itself will reveal to us. If you can consider the idea, it would make my day!
Blademaster orc with demonic blood pumping in his vains and can do techniques like Conjure image? Samuro i think they mentioned you without mentioning yoy
It was always funny back in MOP when people were always crying and saying “blizzard just made this up out of nothing for China! Pandas were never in the lore they have nothing to do with wow”, of course they had no idea pandaran were seen all the way back in WC3
Hello Nobbel, I'm new to world of Warcraft and from my Reddit post, you were recommended as the Lore guy to watch. I see you have a playlist that says part 1 chronological order but playlist starts with a 40 minute video that says version 2.0. should I start with that? Or what video should I start with?
Remember when Mists of Pandaria was announced and everyone said they copied kung fu panda and that wow was turning into a children's game? *flashback to 2012 where 14 year old me was slapping people in the face with a copy of warcraft 3 whenever it was mentioned* I WAS 4 YEARS OLD WHEN THIS GAME CAME OUT HOW DO I KNOW MORE THAN YOU!?
24:48 Erm Nobbel... are you trying to make sure UA-cam doesn't accidentally think this video is fit for children, or is extra-sloppy pronunciation your new trademark? :p
Random Pandaren: Ahhh just like what shifu said in kung fu panda 3. The smallest pebble can undo the mightiest of knots if the cow is able to kick over the bucket at sunrise. Random Joe: the hell does that mean? Pandaren nerd: it means... Get REKT SCRUB SEE YA LOOSER( ROLLS AWAY LIKE OTHER PANDA'S)
This is something I'm seeing now since a while and I truly have to ask myself: What the F is wrong with people like you, who write these UN-funny moronic fictional "dialogues" down here in the youtube comment section?! It's not just that what you wrote isn't funny at all, no it's so lame that one has think about how old that person has to be?!!? 12 or 120?!
I miss Chen's face on Illidan's Warcraft weapons.
Slight correction to what you said, it's not Chen's face, just a regular Panda face. Illidan was in Warcraft 3 before Chen was.
"I MEANT TO WRITE TO YOU SOONER BUT I'VE JUST BEEN BUSY." IM DEAD
I knew it was a Eminem reference the moment I saw it
Pandaren Lore is my fav lore and Chen is one of my fav Pandas great videos as always!

Ale is the solution to everything.

That "Stan" reference had me roaring!
(Most certainly did not see that comin')

Brewmaster in dota 2 is a tanky beast too. He just creates chaos with his ult lol
"Strongbo" like Strongbow cider? 🤣

It could be the same thing as Anduin. He went from boy to late teen without a prebulesent model
plueschtier79 she’s a loli
maybe she's just undersized panda
he had a 14 ish YO model during cata/MoP though, entirely custom to him.
I picked Horde for my pandaren monk during MoP to honor the friendship between Chen and Rexxar. I haven't played that character since. I might dust it off, if we get the pandaren heritage armor at some point.

Man, could you imagine if N’Zoth corrupted Shen Zin Su? That would be an amazing aquatic based expansion.
Daelin: KILL THEM ALL!
Chen: How about a drink instead?
Daelin: Well...I have been at sea.
(10 pints later)
Daelin: Imma serrury....wantin wer and shall dat..... Woulda murray mah daughter ya half orcy oger bashtered....ya got gains ya do!
Rexxar: ............
Jaina: Kill me.... -_-
This would have prevented Bfa
Political marriages can bring peace...... Begin the ships!

@UCxF8I__iJulry7go0Er4EUw send them back, please I'm begging you.
Hope we'll get Li Li grown up soon.
God turtle!
3:26 he slaughtered them like animals!
Not just the Pandaman, but the pandwoman and pandachildren too
This is a really nice change of pace , I had missed your "story of character videos" and the past few are definitely great and explore interesting characters. Great work, hope you're doing well .
Thank you for the wonderful storytelling Nobbel! Can't wait for the next part
Subscribers: waiting for the vid to pop up
Nobbel: I bring Pandamonium!
1:14
Ah yes. The most important part of Liu Lang's tale is the mystical umbrella that defies all of gravity. When is that gonna be a Legendary?!
Skoll Shorties I’M MARY POPPINS, Y’ALL!
TIL Chen is the same VA as Jeong Jeong form Avatar TLA! I knew his voice sounded familiar.
Love your stuff, man. Been watching since "Woah Woah Woah Woooooah!"
Next week? NEXT WEEK? and what am I supposed to do until next week? BibleThump
I've never commented on a youtube video before, but I want to thank you so much for all your videos, which I watch like an assignment. Seeing a video about a character from WC3 which I grew up with just fills me with joy, much love
I love the thumbnail for this video!
“Spending days just making tea and commenting on the weather... her life would be a waste” should i be offended
Thank you so much Nobbel, I'm stressing right now and this is exactly the video I didnt even know I needed, you're the greatest man!
My favorite cutscene is the orc and human captain getting drunk after Chen beat them up
As a pandarian main I want to say I appreciate the mass pandarian content, on top of that the Eminem joke was golden
OMG I was searching for this video thinking you must have made it, its here finally!!!!
I’m imagining Chen drank so much ale over the years, that he built up a tolerance, and it take a shit ton of mugs to get him plastered.
I don’t know what happen beyond the mist, but I must have been so horrible, that tortoise decided to change to turtle.
Shoutout to you Nobbel from Newfoundland! You're enjoyed everywhere!
I'm pleased to see this video.
What is that awesome version of Warcraft 3? “ I must know “ 🤓🤭
YAAAAAAYYY!!! Chen Stormstout for the win!
Time for a brew... or two! -Chen

omg I just mentioned this in a comment a week ago. Your awesome man
Part 2 can't come quickly enough! Love your videos!
Grats on 600k subs, dont know how long you been there. but still GRATS :)
thank you!!!
I was lucky enough to get the Brewfest Kodo last year.

Can we get a movie set in pandaria.
They've seemed cool and like pandas because they're cute.
at the end chen is probably gonna die by alcohol poisonning lol
Jade The Jaded.
Nah, he’ll probably be fine, the dude probably built up a tolerance greater than that of the titans themselves
nice

Nobbel, you should be IN WoW as a Voiceactor!
I love your Vids and your Work!
ny1 else think its weird tht Anduin has gotten visably older since the events of Pandaria but LiLi remands the same age....
Hello everyone.
maybe my math is messed up but if thunderbrew won by 1 vote of Chen would that not mean that if chen voted for himself that he would have won?
Chen voted for the third guy, not the guy he was tied with
Great video "Cya"..
Bottoms up!!!
Where is this from?
I've read the pearl of pandaria comic but it ended with bo's death. where's the rest?
link to quest for pandaria is in the description
11:00 orb stacking tsc tsc
I wonder if we can go find the statue of Bo?
Lol i just learned that Stormstout is older than Kung Fu Panda Xd
2 view... 63 likes.. Yep, seems bout right that people like the video before finishing it, top quality video at its finest

24:48 Erm Nobbel... are you trying to make sure UA-cam doesn't accidentally think this video is fit for children, or is extra-sloppy pronunciation your new trademark? :p
Random Pandaren: Ahhh just like what shifu said in kung fu panda 3. The smallest pebble can undo the mightiest of knots if the cow is able to kick over the bucket at sunrise.
Random Joe: the hell does that mean?
Pandaren nerd: it means... Get REKT SCRUB SEE YA LOOSER( ROLLS AWAY LIKE OTHER PANDA'S)
