Blizzard has now cut the number of workers in raids by almost half by outsourcing workers to India and other countries. Before there were 40 man offices now the largest ones are 25 man.
I remember watching this as a kid. Wow and machinimas like this one carried me through my awkward teenage years into my awkward adulthood. I can’t thank you enough for having made this. Azeroth will always be a home to me.
Frozen Office, definitely the best expansion. Wasn't a huge fan of patch 4.2.5: Women are cold but don't want to wear a jacket.. Still, it was better than the Mists of Affirmative Action and Warlords of Wall Street. The 9 to 5 Legion was pretty sweet though.
This raid was pretty difficult. However there are sooooo many raids in the game, every year we have nearly 5million new raids that come out for players. However the questing objectives don't give as much reward anymore. The mounts are pretty cool though, but now a patch hit where the price to fill them up with gas has increased by 20% I don't beleive anyone has or will beat the entire game.
I remember seeing this video a long time ago when it first came out. I was really young at the time. Now I play the game much more seriously, and it's great seeing all of these older vids to finally understand the jokes you didn't before xD
I searched Google for an hour for this UA-cam video. My queries got very specific, "world of warcraft video where the characters play real life as a game." Nothing came up. I searched all "Best old WoW machinima vids." I tried finding old WoW video accounts and going on their recommended channels. Nothing worked out. I finally gave up and was just watching the videos i found. This popped up in the recommended vids on the second video i watched... Nice. UA-cam recs, thank you.
40man Presentations in 'World of Workcraft - Region' will be easier for smaller branch offices to meet together and collaborations over Cloud infrastructure at release, fixing many issues that were present in beta.
Apparently... this is the 3rd video I liked. I was looking for something and here I am, 14 years later, watching the whole thing thinking I would only watch a bit.
I do not understand my old comment at all, lmao. Fell into a bit of a nostalgia trip with this one lol. These videos influenced so much of my humor, and to this day 12 years after watching it the first time lol. It holds up surprisingly well, and is even more relatable now than it was then. Makes me feel like I can fully appreciate it now. Thanks
Meeting Stone? ... It's been SO long since I played WoW, I don't even remember if I know the Meeting Stone XD *checks Google* OH, THE MEETING STONE!!! XD Omg, how the hell could I forget you...? x3
As ridiculous as it seems, this actually does a great job of illustrating how people have a tendency to gravitate toward things that are new and different, regardless of what they are. if our characters are anything like us, they'd probably be attracted to anything that's "out of this world" in order to escape from what they perceive as the "boring and humdrum" nature of their everyday lives, even if that includes "real world" office work! :P
+Gavin Brown Ah yes, the classic "You can't criticize anything if you don't make it yourself," strawman argument. Tell you what then, you can't criticize movies unless you make your own, or criticize food unless you cook yourself. Get real.
i know this thread is like, a year old but... "and all of the models kind of move around like cartoon characters." nigga the game's always been cartoony even before the new models, where the heck have you been? haha
That was absolutely BRILLIANT replacing dragon slaying and epic battles with one of the most boring thing on planet earth... office jobs well done sir WELL DONE
A gem from a time when World of Warcraft community shined like a constellation
now it's the depths of a peerless void.
11 years later, this is STILL hilarious as hell.

printer ran out of ink once. wiped the whole raid!!
+Flappy Paddle Nobody was spec'd into paper filling? You had a n00b group.
+ZhangtheGreat Dude, paper filling takes so many resources. The paper's easy enough to buy in bulk, but the Store has NOT been kind to the ink prices.
+Lizmeistra It's all gonna be obsolete anyway, when the Digital Memos-expansion is released. Guess it doesn't help now, tho.

Very clever script too. I loved this!
Only 1.5mil in 12 years?!? Come on this was gold back then and even to this day. It deserves more
wait till we tell him...
This really is still a video that can bring a smile to my face after all these years
I'm on a grand tour, rewatching all these old Machinima's before Classic launch. Oh boy, they still hold up today!
"Your not my real dad!" Arthas said because he killed his father XD
I think he is talking to Ner´Zhul
or maybe Tirion Fordring
"Want to play World of workcraft?"
"NERDS!"
I just died
Also died at the ogre playing the Belf
LOL and arthas playing the belf XDXDXD
I remember watching this as a kid. Wow and machinimas like this one carried me through my awkward teenage years into my awkward adulthood. I can’t thank you enough for having made this. Azeroth will always be a home to me.
This is a masterpiece, and I am obligated to watch it once each day.
This slaps way harder once you realize how accurate a lot of it is. All time classic
I love Arthas lol:P
''Who cares, I'm just here for the epic paycheck!'' XD
I love WoW machinas like these, they're so cool and funny xD
+Rubywing4 NnnooooOOOOOOOooo!! Five more minutes, PLEEEASE!

I just realised! This is the map cs_office from counter-strike

+Sumona Florence It's "That's a 50 DKP minus".
5:02 LMAO "knocks over port" THAT'S A 50 DKP MINUS!
WHO THE FUCK WAS THAT?!
CRUSHIM WHAT THE FOCK
OOD FORMS LEFT, EVENS RIGHT, MANY STAMPS
Arthas yelling “hacks! Hacks!!” gets me every time. Every year for 13 years.
WOW! What a treat it is to run into this gem after I don't know how many years!
Workcraft was better in vanilla
Nah. Frozen Office was the best.
You mean manilla?
Frozen Office, definitely the best expansion. Wasn't a huge fan of patch 4.2.5: Women are cold but don't want to wear a jacket.. Still, it was better than the Mists of Affirmative Action and Warlords of Wall Street. The 9 to 5 Legion was pretty sweet though.
Too bad they defrosted the entire office with the new expansion. Everything that was frozen to the wall just fell apart.
World of Workcraft is for casuals, Workcraft III is clearly where it's at
"Learn to file newbie" xDDDDDDDD
So glad I ran into this video again, nostalgia is real
5:08
"ARTHAS!!! YOU'RE FIRED!!!"
"NOOO! NO FAIR! HACKS! HACKS!"
I love you, Arthas.

Me: Wut?

+ProfessionalLeagueGaming You are not alone my friend , you are not alone . ONLY I PLAY WITH ARTHAS >:D
3 years later, but you should play EVE. Or Dwarf Fortress.
Job Simulator on VR headsets
Love the arthas part lmao
I feel you arthas
I feel you!

Awesome. The suspense is well done. It feels like an actual raid.
Man i cant believe i did 12 Work orders and defeated a elite Traffic jam and only got 2 Staplers Which only had Staple 2...
RIpoff
+Frank G It's okay, that expansion will only be for players in India or Nigeria.
Rose C That rumor was shot down 3 days ago. Also, Patch 1.3 will nerf everyone that is not a supervisor.
+The Catalyst thats nothing, i once fought 20 paper jams and a malfunctioning vending machien and i STILL havent gotten that printer from ragneros

I love how Arthas is the whiny noobcake xD
"Arthas, time for bed!" "Nooooo, 5 more minutes, please!" "Get off the Computer!" "Shaddup, you're not my real dad!" LMAO
This is the best social commentary I have read all year, and it was in a video from 11 years ago about a video game
I've been playing this game since late 2008, watched a ton of Oxhorns stuff--how the hell am i JUST NOW finding this?? Its fantastic! xD
''so..have you got a bf?''
''nope, all yours.''
lmao
So glad I thought to watch this again . Haven’t seen it in about five years. I miss this part of my life .
LOL 2:48 LOVE HOW HE IS JUST DANCING!!! ;D
xD
"nop i am all yours"
this is so unbelievably accurate, that i have lost my shit because of it!
ROFLMFAO!!
Love the Pirates of the Carribean music.. That and the way Arthas plays out. This is hilarious and clever. x'D
So this was during the Blazing Campaigns expansion, right?
The golf clubs... LMAO
This is some good nostalgia, is it weird to say I grew up with these old wow movies/vids
1:27 moonguard 101
Is moonwork you dummy
Oh yeah I remember that Raid...
It was going so well until the Boss dropped that Final Memo near the end and really screwed me over!
If it's possible, I'd like t request that this become an actual series. It seems like an interesting concept.
4:39 my favorite quote for everything
We need more MMOs with unique settings like this! Not everything has to be fantasy or sci-fi!
secret world legends might be for you
OMG Seeing it for the first time and it's 10 years old but it's amazing.
First video I ever watched on UA-cam :)
10/10 Would Play
2019
the legends never die!
I miss Laggspke film, the old WoW videos were much more fun than the news and clickbaits videos
Awesome video! I just posted it on machinima site Gorilla Gong
+Nike Myrick "What our toons do when we are not online..."
Well, it would explain why my dad's character kept losing gold when he was offline.
These Videos are so good!
I love this! More please!!!! :D
I..don't care. This is too awesome not to have more made.
***** And this has 7 likes
Babzilla You tell 'em. :D

Still a classic video
Damn straight.
a truly brilliant wow machinima, thank you Lagspike
old but gold.
I'm finally coming back to this.
This video is a legacy for me. Congratulations 2008.
is it just me or is the Boss (as I am calling him) more scary then any dragon, Lich, or demon we have ever encounter in WoW?
Believe me, no dragon, lich or demon is scarier than an unhappy boss at work.
HAHAHA Arthas spells are just seal of retribution and sheep.
+Argos Morse (Suburu) Even with lame magics arthas is a badass, ..... annoying fucking elf
Hysterical. I never would have thought this up. There are so many people in my office who play wow on the company computers ;-)
WAIT, WAS THAT OXHORN
Yes!!!! Oxhorn!!
What the dwarf say? x"DDD hahaha when is in the toilet
50 dkp minus I think xD
THAT'S A 50 DKP MINUS!
The classics, the great machinimas of old.
Good news guys! i got loot from a boss! 5 entry drinks, paperclips,and bladder repair box such good loot!
Bitch please. I got the Epic Shaquille O'Niell bobble head drop. Get on my level.

Why was the lich king playing with them and what the bleep is up with his voice?

Nicholas Hall And why do you care?
Lockz1111 Because I like the Lich King? Duh?
Ok first off, YOU RUINED THE QUESTION CHAIN, second the question was to the person who I named IN BLUE! Anyways. :p
In an alternate universe...
Woah watched this years ago and watched it now again. Just realized how brilliant it is , - DKP :DDD
lagspike needs to remake this vid with the new character models and better quality and... well everything new
If you are going to critique Blizzard's work, try to make new character models for the races.
+Gavin Brown Ah yes, the classic "You can't criticize anything if you don't make it yourself," strawman argument. Tell you what then, you can't criticize movies unless you make your own, or criticize food unless you cook yourself. Get real.
DrScaphandre I wasn't doing that, I love Lagspike, and this movie/video. I was just suggesting... read before you comment...
i know this thread is like, a year old but...
"and all of the models kind of move around like cartoon characters." nigga the game's always been cartoony even before the new models, where the heck have you been? haha
No wonder these guys are bored, the raid's dragons are too easy
Still come back to this 13 years later....
Who’s here in 2024🥲
I'd take Workcraft over Shadowlands. Even the lore is better!
That was absolutely BRILLIANT replacing dragon slaying and epic battles with one of the most boring thing on planet earth... office jobs well done sir WELL DONE
0:51 Oxhorn!!
WHAT 9000!
Lol! Lich King game in the world of workcraft! The music of Pirates in the Caraibes!

This video is still awesome. I love all the references xD

As a kid I just laughed this off. As an adult, I finally get it now.
