Gankers of Stranglethorn - Gorak's Guide to WoW Classic, Episode 31 (Animation)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Passing through the crucible of PVP in Stranglethorn Vale is a path we all must tread. The ever-present fear of hearing a twig snap (or the Stealth-sound) somewhere in your vicinity can be hard to let go, even after all these years!
Of course I had to at some point make an homage to all of us who left our bones behind on the jungle floor, and all those ahem "super-cool dudes" who spent their valuable time slaughtering lowbies.

That corpse camp was just S tier, man. So good.
Sensei allrdy there xD
My god this was a beautiful animation from start to finish.
It truly was, i still have tears in my eyes.
That disapproving stare of Nesingwary (i think?) and that eye stab just sent my sides to outer space.
Thank you for the kind comment ^^
We just don't deserve content of this quality. Thank you sir for the huge effort and dedication that obviously must be put into this channel
Thanks for the kind comment friend ^^
Lets not forget the original wetlands ganking gauntlet run every night elf player had to make to get to Ironforge. A level 60 undead rogue named Boogieman used to welcome every new player to the game on my server right by the Dun Algaz entrance. Good times.
The Wetlands run was a Rite of Passage for sure, ganking or not.
Ah yes.. Crossing the Wetlands and aggroing every crocolisk within ten miles.
@@randalftheblack2572 great times 😂😂
"I want to level in Elwynn" is a great video about running from Teldrassil to Elwynn.
was he a npc or a real player? O.O
Would love to see a full length movie like this, Gorak is great at making stories as well as animating them 🏆
Thanks friend
Would love to see a movie
Making the night elf hit himself with his own fist killed me 😂
0:59
I love this "child-friendly" version of that spell lmao
Don't forget the best form of pick pocketing when he had the poor little gnome upside down. Lol
STV is the closest thing to Vietnam War I will ever experience
Funny fact. The area Ashenvale, another hotbed of world pvp, was named like that because it sounds very similar to Passchendaele, the most bloody battlefield of WW1.
@@sygmarvexarion7891 Yeah, gonna need some proof on that claim chief.
@@sygmarvexarion7891 I doubt they did it because of that, but it sounds just about right, will say that much.
Well STV does stand for Stranglethorn Vietnam
There's a reason classic players call it Nam
The nipple scenes had me rolling on the floor. 😂
Holy crap that transition from life to death was F*cking amazing great work. You really outdone yourself.
Funny as always!
Especially the self-inflicting-nippletwist was the best!
Goodness gravy those expressions, so much character from just from that. You tell such fun stories without a single word. Amazing.
Omg hemet nessingwary sitting there stirring his tea and shaking his head was so great. This might be one of your best yet!
The lack of expression on his face… perfect 😂
That's Nesingwary? I thought he always had gray/white hair, and I can't seem to find a picture where he didn't.
Are you sure he isn't "Barnil Stonepot?"
@@bluewolf2866 Think it's the chronicler that asks you to collect nesingwary pages throughout STV.
Lol that little Peter Pan reference with the croc. Absolute perfection. 👌
This was incredible. I especially love the, "stop hitting yourself," scene.
I can never get enough of your 10/10 content. Simply the best wow animations out there.
I got flashbacks to StrangleGank Vale this was so accurate.
For you, questing in Stranglethorn was the scariest experience of your leveling, for Hemet Nesingwary, _it was Tuesday._
I really loved the detail with the crocodile's fork and knife!
Keep it up!
As someone who went through Cutthroat Vale during Vanilla, this is 100% accurate. Albeit I was on the Horde just watching Alliance get mowed down by lvl 60 gank squads while I quested uninterrupted, but still.
Love how it started with a reference with the nuclear ambush stab lol
A drop from gorak is like Christmas!
I love how much recognisable is this humor to me and other (former) players of WoW 😀 This is just perfect. I watch the the video, i see it, i hear it, i feel it. It's like a time machine or teleport 😀
Love that you included a butchers steel when he sharpens his knife.
Assistant: "Sir, sir the assets for our animation are here!"
Groak: "Great, let's have a look then."
Assistant: "...but those are... those faces have like 3 or 4 polygons each!"
Gorak (pulling up his sleeves): "I can make this work."
Haha this was awesome!
Thank you!
this is exactly why I never played on a Pvp realm and the one time my friends convinced me to give one a try I stayed well away from STV questing in that place was bad enough early game without having to worry about players ganking you.
hahahahaha
@@KingLich451 going by that laugh I am guessing you like to play a rogue and go for a stroll in STV.
I love these every time...the animations is just perfect. xD These videos are a pure masterpeace.
So far my favourite of them all. This made me feel so many feelings.
Thank you Gorak so much.
I... I really have to get back to classic .
There is not enough words to describe this awe I feel right now. It's absolutely hilarious!
Was in tears at the purple nurple, god that scream.
Gut-busting riot from start to finish, my god the crockolisk with silverware *chef's kiss*
A beautiful animation as always gorak.
A touch of realism I was expecting was a geared level 60 warrior, patrolling stv on the Alliance, to counter the rogues, causing a guild war to ensue.
I laughed so hard, remembering this "Vietnam" :D Great video!
Even though I quit WoW a couple of years ago, I still appreciate watching your content in order to remember the good times when I was younger and had less worries and could play WoW all day long. Wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year Gorak! Best regards from The Alliance in Norway
I feel like i've watched this already just by sheer exposure to this content 18 years ago lol.
"I'm so good at this game!"
"But your 40 levels higher than me."
"Shut up, noob!"
After all these years and I still read that in Crendors voice 😂
Absolutely brilliant.
I had hoped someone would log onto their main, for the glorious revenge!
//CraniusPresents "Don't make my get my main" intensifies//
thats usually how it goes
Thats another episode I bet
Ganker´s Paradise starts playing in the background.
And this is why I listen to CCR's Fortunate Son whenever I go there on a pvp server.
Awesome as always..
Made a slight mistake at the end though, shouldn't be the "Release Spirit" box. But the "Resurrect now?" box.
These are so good!
That basilisk with his dining utensils lol
God it's so good and well made. I remember how much rogue ganked me when I was questing in stranglethorn in classic.
Absolutely top work good sir! The cheap shot was perfect
1:27 poor dude, that shit hurts like hell! LOL!
Awesome video Gorak! 😎👍
For a second I thought I was watching a Amozous vid. Then the entire time I had that monotone voice for the rogue ganker. *Chefs Kiss*
I love the fact that people with passion like you exist to create something like this for an almost 20 year old mmo! More power to you and i hope all the best for you mate!
man, you have really evolved artistically with your animation skills. this is something to be very proud of, its not easy to make machinma feel this authentic to the game world all the while still following a goofy plot with plenty of laughs. keep it up
A winner as always. Cheers from my pvp team - including the raid leader.
That shot with the gnome at the dwarf's feet made me think of Meet thr Pyro
I was not prepared nor will I ever forget what I saw.
This was the most accurate depiction of your adventures in Stranglethorn Vale if there ever was one.
The most devastating weapon in any Forsaken Gankster's arsenal: THE TIDDY TWISTER!
Incredibly stupid as always, Gorak. Keep up the good work!
The animation quality and humor only keep improving. Amazing work. Idk but the dwarf sweeping the skulls at the end 2:00 looks so fluent and smooth... just amazing attention to detail!
I don't know how many times I've replayed this video by now. It keeps gettin' recommended to me and it's a blast to watch every single time.
Bro you are the goat. I watched all of your videos recently, and you can literally feel the love you have for this game/the lore/the characters and the history. Another Masterpiece. Will definitely check out your patreon! Keep it going!
The nipple rings haha. I crack up at all of these, glad to have found such a channel with great work.
Glad you're here! :)
Thank you--you never fail to brighten my day!!!
As always, you never let us down. 😂❤
This just brought back so many painful memories. Great job, really enjoyed this one.
Once again, speechless! Epic work my bro!!!!!
We need a follow up to this one where someone will come on their main to kill the ganker
GG is an absolute genius at visual storytelling, gets just so much life out of those old wow models. So expressive!
I love not only the quality of animation, but the sheer story telling this man is capable of with no voice lines whatsoever. Hope this guy has a future in professional studios of animation as writer or something.
Thanks for the kind message! ^^
I sure hope we see more of Nipple-ganker in future videos. I'm fully terrified.
The best facial animation ever! So many expressions for so much low-poly original models! Fantastic! :)
This so much god tier animation! and the Undead Rogue is hilarious!
This is world class content right here takes me back to 2004
I have not laughed that hard in quite a while. Excellent work as always.
Coffee at the end was my favorite
Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays Gorak. Your machinima's are appreciated during this cold season. I wish you the best and hope you have time to relax and unwind.
Aren't they just awesome LOL
@@Justin-A-Carter They remind me of the good old days. I especially like the Naxx Christmas special.
I was waiting for a main ally coming for revenge XD
It's still a super great video !
PTSD in video form.
Amazingly well done!
BRILLIANT! was anyone else thinking of 'the scarlet scourge' while watching this? XD
Ah... My tears are flowing. It's so beautiful
Legendary animation.
This was one of the best videos lmao
The human standing there grunting with his eyes closed from the cheap shot lol
Dude, you're a god at these lmao. Always hilarious lmao.
That Predator reference near the end... glorious.
I almost gave him a torch! :)
You just ganked me with nostalgia. I was the Alliance players in this scenario.
This is soo good man. Next level story telling
The nip rings 💍
seems like the jailer has a new disciple...
The nipple ring scene disturbed me. Good job! :)
I think my favorite is when the zombie rogue cuts the rope on the wooden bridge and Miss Indiana Jones falls into a waiting crocolisk with dinnerware. Reminds me of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Crocodile bridge at the end.
Absolutely incredible!
this was so beautiful, so well done.
это потрясающе, эмоции сравнимы с 22 эпизодом
This is the best one yet, dear god.
Awesome dude. I love these videos.
I'm genuinely at a loss. This was quite possibly one of the greatest WoW videos I have ever seen. Not only did I stay steady laughing and wheezing, but I was glued to that editing! Huge props to you and all involved. Thank you for this!
This perfectly captures that first few hours of going to STV during the P1 launch.
Personal story. It was 4 am, running from Booty Bay to the Ruins. I’m chatting with two of my buddies right behind me watching me play.
“It’s kinda nice playing this early. Not a soul in sight”
No sooner than I said it. SAP. Out from behind, a troll rogue unstealths. Then another. And another. And another. And another. 5 horde rogues un stealth, /lol, /dance, then one at a time restealth. Resap. And perfectly deplete my HP with a ambush. Haunting. But hilarious.
Holyyy :D This was amazing Gorak! Thank you for bringing some positivity in my day!
Absolutely perfect!
Absolutely amazing. The nipple ring twist + Arnold Schwarzenegger Predator scream at the end was the best for me!
How the hell do you not have at least half a million subscribers yet? What's wrong with the UA-cam algorithm? These are probably the BEST machinimas ever created!
Thanks for the kind comment friend ^^
This site is a shadow of its former self.
@@EQOAnostalgia ?
The cheapshot animation was perfect. masterful.
i was waiting for the battleground leader to sort him out!
