New video is out!

High elves are the most requested race in WoW's history, and Blizzard has finally told us why Forever went with the Skyborne instead. So I went through every one of their reasons and how I'd get around it, including launching them alongside the Amani.

Eyup everyone! I hope you’re well!

Just a quick update from me. My brand new video, How I’d Make Amani Trolls Playable in WoW Forever, is out tomorrow at 5:30pm UK time, but if you’re a channel member, you can watch it right now! Would love to hear your thoughts on it in the comments once you’ve had a watch.

On the Cheflocked front, episode 22 is currently in production! It’s taking a little longer than usual at the moment as I’m at the mercy of some timegated missions and rep grinds in game for a few recipes, so bear with me on that one.

I’m also working on some other content in the background that I’ll be sharing more details on in due course, so keep an eye on this space.

As always, thanks so much for the continued support, it genuinely means the world. See you in the comments!

New video at 2pm UK time today: Gul’dan: How One Orc Damned the Entire Horde

Before it goes up, settle this for me. Who's really to blame for the Horde drinking the demon blood?

Hear me out...

Playable naga and murlocs in WoW Forever. The new video goes live tonight at 5pm UK time!

I’ll be upfront: I’m not sold on either of them. But they’re two of the most requested races out there, so I’ve given them my best shot. There’s the lore, the case for and against each, and a full pitch for both, with classes, racials and mounts.

Did I change your mind, or did you change mine? Let me know in the comments tonight.

Channel update!

The next video is out now for channel members: How I’d Make Naga & Murlocs Playable in WoW Forever. It goes public tomorrow, Wednesday 14th October, at 6pm UK time.

After the ogre video, these two were the races you asked about most. I’ll be upfront: I’m not sold on either of them. But I’ve given them my best shot, with the lore, the case for and against, and a full pitch for each, including classes and racials. I’d love to know if I’ve changed your mind, or if you’ve changed mine.

I’ve got plenty more planned. There are more lore videos and more WoW Forever ideas for races and classes. Cheflocked isn’t going anywhere either, and more of that is on the way.

So I want to hear from you. What would you like to see next?

‪@Guzutv‬ reacted to my Mok’nathal pitch on stream!

A few days ago I put out a video on how I’d make ogres playable in WoW Forever, built around Rexxar’s people, the Mok’nathal. Seeing it come up on Guzu’s stream is mad, and a big thank you to everyone who’s been sharing it around.

Watch his reaction here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kysSb...

If you missed the original pitch with the full lore breakdown, slides and racials, it’s here: https://youtu.be/Hjk89D5rXlg

And if you’ve already watched both: I’m doing the same thing for naga and murlocs next. I’m not a fan of either as a playable race, but plenty of you are, so I’ve given them my best shot. More on that very soon.

New video: How I'd Make Ogres Playable in WoW Forever.

WoW Forever has just added a brand new playable race in the Skyborne, so I've put together my own pitch to Blizzard for the race people have been asking for since vanilla: ogres. I go through where ogres come from, the case for and against them as a playable race, and then exactly how I'd do it, with the race, their home, a questline, classes and racials.

It's out now for channel members, and goes live for everyone today at 5pm UK time.

Would you roll an ogre?

Part 2 of the WoW Forever lore series is here!

The Lore Behind Every New Dungeon & Raid in WoW Forever is out now for channel members, and goes live for everyone tomorrow (Thursday) at 18:00 UK time.

Nine dungeons and two raids, and a lot of them are places Warcraft fans have been staring at for twenty years:
- The prison where Stormwind's king vanished
- A drowned troll city with a name hidden in a vanilla quest since 2004
- Illidan's old cell under Mount Hyjal
- Hyjal Summit, right where Warcraft III ended

Members, you can watch it right now: https://youtu.be/fFSts4P228Y
