You know I frikin love it when I find a new WoW video that is not only completely unique and funny, but also very catchy as well.  Spacebar Clown is a fully original video and song from The Grey Foo, who so far I can only find one other video and a youtube.com channel for.  The video is extremely well put together and the music its self is professional to say the least, but lets get to the content.  The spacebar clown.  admit it people, you love to hit your space bar where ever you go and hop around like a fool every raid you get into.  Course you do, I do it to, its fun, and this song is a tribute to just that so watch and enjoy…oh and digg this video if you really like it

Another great wow music video from Tainted Lore, aka Sharm.  I have her friend listen on face book and love to keep up with her works, but this one really stuck out as a favorite of mine.  I kissed and Orc (and I liked it) is an obvious parody of I kissed a girl from Katy Perry, but Sharm’s vocals seem to fit right into the music and just the general humor of an alliance girl being embarrassed about kissing an orc just makes me smile.

After a 25 man ICC run last night and a few wipes trying it the way everyone else does ie: run and die mode, a guildie suggested a new method for Lord Marrowgar. He said he had watched a video do it on easy mode but thought there could even make  a single improvement not in this video to  help the raid take him down in record time. I will assume you watched the above video and have a familiarity with the fights.

• The single key to the ultimate speed kill and easy mode is to stay stacked! 2 stacks and two stacks only! Your 3 tanks with agro Lord Marrowgar and face him to the back wall, meanwhile ALL, yes ALL of your dps will stack on his back. This is not an issue for ranged because his hit box is large enough that both melee and ranged will still be able to stack on each other and land hits. Now the key to the speed kill lies in this formation of every dps and healer all stacked in one spot. Healers can chain heal, healing wind, aoe heal the entire raid all in one place.  YES even through the flames, DO NOT MOVE even through the flames with all of your healers casting aoe heals on you you will do fine, the flames do 2.5k damage at best.  Shammys throw up flame resist totem and your fine.

• When bone spikes come up, instead of having to run them down and losing dps on boss, they will all be right there in group,  hunters drop volley shot on group, death knights death and decay, any aoe you can and your group should drop all three bone spikes at once super fast.  This prevents the need to chase down the bone spikes since they will always spawn right in the middle of the stacked group every time.  Once again, heals can continue to aoe heal the entire group and the spiked persons at the same time.

• Bladestorm phase-  still once again DO NOT MOVE, you stay stacked, just as you stay stacked even in fire you will stay stacked during his spinning bone storm, why?  Because deaths occur in the raid for two reasons, first reason being, someone is spiked and not being brought down fast enough, which we already solved, or second, because when everyone runs from the bone storm, half the raid runs right out of healing range, gets cornered and mowed down.  If everyone remains stacked, the healers continue to AOE heal, no one goes out of range, everyone keeps big heals up.  Also, with everyone still stacked in the same place, Lord Marrowgar will not spin all over the room but remain dead center while spinning, thus allowing all dps to continue on him.

• Once Bone Storm is nearing its end though, it is vital for ALL dps to stop and allow tanks to regain their threat and move him back facing the back wall before dps begins again.

Now I know the above strategy relies very much on big heals…well…this is ICC people, I have mentioned before that a 4500 gear score won’t cut it, especially in 25 man which this guide is for.  If your heals can’t aoe heal through the flames and bone storm /boot.  This is the big game people, and your heals have to step up just as much as your tanks have to be able to take the big hits and your dps to deal 4k dps. These are facts, and if you can’t manage this strategy on the FIRST boss, you have no hope of passing Saurfang what so ever.

God I know i have said it before, and Im going to say it again. I love the guys over at Oxhorn Productions! They have really stepped up and become the premiere video makers for wow songs and parodies so when I found out they released a new song and video today for the Winters Veil holiday I just knew I had to bring it to you guys. After all, we have all been here before, trying to pug a raid or dungeon, tank goes AFK, healer has a Gear Score of 12…yeah….Its beginning to look like this raid won’t happen…

Sure Christmas may now be over…but old Father Winter and Winters Veil are still in full swing! So for your continued enjoyment here is a great classic film from Oxhorn, the 12 Days of Winters Veil Enjoy and Happy Holidays everyone.

Every now again you come across a wow machinima that really impresses you one, and this is just one such video. Isolte, from Girls Do Play WOW provided the vocals and the video being done by RavenSylphe Productions, have taken the song Single Ladies from Beyonce and created Ninja Raiders.  In a way its a view ninja’s from their perspective, after all, if you liked it you should have rolled need on it.  Over all though the video is done perfectly, the music is great, the words are funny, the production value of the video its self is very impressive, believe me I am looking over all of the other work done by RavenSlyphe right now and expect to see more from them on the site in the future.

Alright by far, Hands DOWN, this is the single funniest video I have seen for World of Warcraft, its a promo video that’s a joint effort between J!nx and Blizzard to promote some new shirts, sadly these Save The Murloc t’s can’t be bought online and are only available at Hot Topic in stores, but still J!nx has lots of other great shirts to check out as well.
