[Nigerstolemybike]

How can i not subscribe to this cool looking guy?!

[KyrisTV]

Excuse me sir. May I insert my erect penis into your anus?

[BloodShott22]

i pictured you with a beard.

[Achw3l]

Oh fuck yeah you're op at every single game, I love your face

[kazegua]

omg you're irish ? O.o

[DeadlyPawnageVEVO]

Ever hear of a machinimist named Oxhorn? In his "Gnome Overboard" video, he has a character named Patrick O'Challahan

WOAH

[formatR]

This voice...its so calming ^^

[Ilieknoodles]

I missed Cider

[fealmor]

I WILL NEVER EVER EVER LET FUCKING BLIZZARD "PEOPLE MANAGE" ME. SLACKER FOR LIFE.

[golem39k]

on the top left of your video it's some houses and the text Ciderhelm. how to do that?

[gamewizard2020]

I am with ya Cider you mirrored my wow history!

[CatNipSmoker]

You sounded like you had a great big bushy beard!

[kriskaay]

i wub u cider

[MrAusty]

he and aliena recorded these vids in the same room... they prolly fuckin

[zakkmorecraft420]

11:50

[MrAusty]

@zakkmorecraft420 hahaa ahh-eaaaa aaaaand... his brain was takin a shit

[bamafb77563]

i imagined you to be like 40

[Zierk11001]

Nice Belkin N1 router on the floor behind you :)

[crazeddude01]

@Zierk11001 Belkin's routers are crap

[Wowaniac]

This game has gone so far down the drain it makes me sad, I am utterly burnt out on it, the whole idea of having to be HC just to get into end game content, and enjoying hardmodes its just not worth it, and I am done wasting my time with this game. However I want to thank you for your guides, UI compilers and posting a list of UI addons. They and you really helped over the years.

[Wowaniac]

I personally do not like cata, at all. I was a hardcore raider in BC and Wrath having not gottin into the game till BC was released. I spent countless hours raiding in a HC raiding guild our raid time was from 11pmGMT to 3-5am. I was going to work at 6:50am everything suffered from doing that, my social life when down in flames and in the crapper. Running on 2-4 hours of sleep for ruffly 3 days straight affected my work and focus at work.

[MrShaneDZ]

Patrick, thank you for your time and insight on video games. You are pro, sir! :) Hard-core is a fast track to game burn-out.

[IllusionsChild]

good job mate. some very interesting points about raid and guild leading you brought up, and losing balance with other important aspects of life. I can certainly sympathise with many of them, glad you got on it and sorted it.

[un1b4ll]

Heist of Cenarius

[Speshultactiks]

is he banging the red chick from tankspot ?

[MannnisEi]

@Speshultactiks most likely

[MegaSpooke]

@Speshultactiks

yup

[AurelePyroan]

you rock :)))

[hellwave100]

Thanks for making builds and guids.

[ll5MAV9ll]

Hey ciderhelm I remember seeing you sitting in dalaran on garrosh :)

[samordra]

hey ciderhelm I enjoy watching your videos I agree with you on the point that a video game can't take over your life I raid 4x a week I do understand the frustration, real life is more important than a game, people do got realize that wow is a game.

[DarkKyng]

i like watching you just because u seem smat^^

[chenahotspring]

Intelligent, competent, articulate.... sexy!

[CE750]

btw, I too left Exodus around the time we were working on GOTUR25 and have been casual since... The ban was a message to me to get back to life.. Go Retired Raiders!

[KlausBass]

I liked your video guides the best, man.

[logosloki]

it is a lovely irish face.

[K4inan]

World of warcraft is depressing to play..

[valtan666]

I think he's quite good looking people have different opinions guys

[ElchinMendes]

Ciderhelm is doing RIFT guides now, and fortunately I'm getting Rift tomorrow. So it's a win win situation for me :)

I'm not saying people should start quitting wow, no keep playing lol

[jabbertransporter]

It shocks me that people are so crazed about looks or who is whose partner. Either you like the video or not but if you fail to see people as human beings rather than as pieces of flesh, then you have serious real life issues. Point!

Get yourself a social surrounding instead of getting a hard one about someone on the internet. I really can't believe what I'm reading here sometimes. :(

[bwbk007]

He's banging Aliena :)

[demonbram]

wow first time i see u, the voice has finaly got a face. nice

[TheBtm85]

Hey Ciderhelm, love your vids and just wanted to say thanks for all the contributions you have made to the gaming community over the years. Found this vid interesting too, would be cool to see some more editorial-type videos like this! Cheers man.

[seanyo82]

heay ur bald m8

[BFTJustmyname]

that voice is awesome .. gz with the lost wieght :)

[afiqslim]

man your a legend! enough said!

[s4087988]

whoa! I first heard Cider's voice on his podcast and i DID NOT imagine him like this lol. I'm so freaked out! Nothing to do with you really.. Just caught off guard lol.

[jai6y6]

just a question.... is this guy and aliena together... because if so... how the fuck? You would think she would have higher standards as she takes care of herself unlike this guy

[IceTitan84]

@jai6y6 you jelly faggot? sometimes people dont go for people based off looks alone.

[jai6y6]

@IceTitan84

What on earth could I POSSIBLY be jealous of?

[wowBritneyfears]

Can you go back to doing your how-to guides, I like your voice ;/ 

[retozzentoz]

Just a stupid question, is Ciderhelm and Aliena together? :P since he is sitting in the same room as aliena as her video TankSpot videos moving to ZAMOfficial!

[iSNIPEthings]

@retozzentoz could be some sort of studio maybe, like the machinima studios but for tankspot, they could be tho i dont know ;)

[WalkThrough4u1]

SAME HEADPHONES AS ME !!!!

[alenC4KC]

0:00

[mikeyLOLOL]

he looks like a potato kinda

[godzillaleas]

what the fuck I just watched like a 75 second google advertisement....

[MrLegoMan88]

Hey man you started off saying it was going to be a bit scripted but I think you hit your stride after about two minutes. Props to you and your crew; you've provided an excellent resource to thousands of raiders over the past few years. Best of luck in all your endeavours.

[icebergmike27]

wow, if you think about it, a good portion of the video is him saying that Warcraft was ruining his life lol. He is obviously grateful from opportunities he gained outside of WoW, but maybe this is like a veiled warning too all WoW players/gamers. "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" HAHA I'm writing this as I'm watching, lol now we're getting a veiled "Stop replying to tankspot on my personal YouTube account!"

[greggermans]

this was on my birhtday ahah

[SuperApoko]

@greggermans noone care

[shaky145]

you're a fucking mad cunt.. poor out some liquor for your homies nigguh

[MADRABBITONRABIES]

Take care of your body? yea sure, it really shows.

[HermitMarmot]

@MADRABBITONRABIES He said he was consistently gaining weight, you don't lose that over night. He also said he lost 70 pounds in like a year. That's fantastic, and he should be proud of himself for it.

[nazaxprime]

I hate Flo.

Stupid whore.

I don't want your fucking insurance . . . for anything.

Give me liberty or give me death bitch!

[fuxxooorlolz]

ciderhelm's voice is butter to my ears....

[mickenoss]

It's the other end of Aliena's room! always wondered who's that computer was!

Sweet that they play side by side  =)

[izskilzix]

err can you block the gold selling ads on your vids they are kind of annoying and most liekly go against what all of you think

[flesheye]

Nice headset you have man... heeeh, have it myself :P

[SquezeThatlol]

u got addicted.. lol :)

[midnull]

....and this, ladies and gentlemen, is what your avg wow player looks like.

[shkotay]

Gotta dig this guys professionalism in his presentations in the video guides. Dont sweat the look part dude. We're all geeks, its the material you deliver that matters and how its presented. At least I know how he is now lol!

[hippaul]

anyone wanna see pics of aliena/sao's nasty roast beef cooch?

[adamgaz]

@hippaul Hell yeah hook me up haha

[TheDarkHavok]

IRISH :D!

[MrVersitileD]

Potato

[PESHKIRAwee]

@MrVersitileD what did you hope for?a super model?a man doesnt need to be realy handsome do you know that?

[ArmyOfZin]

I think you should do something similar to what Brandon Jones does at Gametrailers. The raid guides aren't the same without your voice. Let someone else put together guides, but please consider editing the scripts to your style and doing the voice overs. Regardless, thanks for all the great work you've done.

[ilosefights]

his emphasis is all off.. deff sounds like he is reading something haha. i think he is telling a story :D

[Defilezz]

Pleasee do video guides of cataclysm raids. *bow*

[wilsonj97055]

Nice video! I appreciate all the vids you guys do to help the "hardcore raiders" out there. I feel the vids are always informative. I wasn't a subscriber prior to this comment, but after listening to what kind of vids are going to be put on this channel, and the kind of content you guys will provide, I have subscribe to hear more. Keep up the good work! P.S. I think adding vids on MMO's like diablo 3 and ff 14 sounds like a great idea, as I am also a huge fan of those games.

[GerruG]

"i do really enjoy riding guides" xD

[DoinYourMummy]

cool dude thx for your help, helps me :0 !!! and your cool :)

[Hamster0917]

Your room looks just like Aliena's room. On her setup video, there is more monitors on the left hand side........ is that your monitor???

[Hamster0917]

@Hamster0917 OMG it is, on her video, TankSpot Videos Moving to ZAMOfficial! (And more info!), there is the exact same picture, table and computer set up at the back of the room.... are you together or something??

[Neve6548]

Nice insight into life Cider- I too am trying to find a balance in life with gaming and real life. I appreciate you articulating many things I have have been also thinking.

[Cidofas]

a strategy coming from a casual player is useful? seems the guilds that are seeking information on the said boss will have better luck finding it out themselves instead of looking at casual raid go at it then posting it into a video.

[xlithz]

Ciderhelm ... new patch is out 4.0.1 and Im having a hard time on keeping the agro on AoEs (I charge in / thunderclap / shockwave / cleave) but theres a cooldown on cleave and I thot that they remove the CD on thunderclap but ... no ... so can u post something like u first did when u launched tankspot.com

thanks :)

[bigspook999]

@xlithz wars suck even worse now

[Matsutom]

@xlithz *Vigilance* Shout, charge, rend, cleave, thunderclap, revenge, slam, cleave, clap. I'd leave the shock out cause you loose out on rage, I rather use it when i start feeling i'm loosing agro, generates high threat and gives you a window for dps to finish before you rly start loosing aggro. I might not be the man who you are seeking an answer from. But as a fellow warrior this is what i have to share with you. Good luck out there. problem gaining rage, use bersek rage when you go in.

[Rizilliant]

I gained about 45lbs myself playing warcraft...up to 225...Finally back down to 200lbs since stopping WoW!!! Still 20lbs heavier than normal, but ive only stopped wow a month or 2 ago!

[bigspook999]

@Rizilliant grats. this has nothing to do with the game and more about your lack of willpower. but thanks for posting

[blaaatyo]

whew gonna be back for cata =)) good tankspot helps sooo much when new raids come out!

[L00kingGIass]

U look liek a manbaby

[luisetb]

he is looks a lot younger than he sounds. At least my opinion. I tought he would be a 50 ish guy

[tomasbento]

@luisetb Exactly

[ANTSEMUT1]

his not at all how i thought he would look liike at all.i imagine him like a bald yes, tall late 20's early 30's ivy league graduate looking kinda guy, but he is still cool as now its just not i imagine him to look like

[letterstoscott12]

Hey, ciderhel i wanna knowur addons/keybinds on ur war tank



[Matsutom]

There is no need to not like yourself Ciderhelm, you are wonderfull and loving, allow yourself the same energy as you put out there. All what makes you up is your intelligence and that is what a lot of people do not use themselves when posting comments. Love yourself as we love you.

Love and Light,

Namasté

[xentry]

Good job cider, great to see u had the will power to pull away from WOW when u needed to!.

Whats your thoughts on cata with 10mans dropping same loot as 25mans? As a previous hardcore raider and raid leader/GM, i can really appreciate it! Itll be SOOOO much more fun to organize 10mans.

[Matsutom]

@xentry To be honest i really miss my 40men Raids. I really don't understand why they pulled it away from the game. Well I do understand but i would rather have it in the game. Anyways, great words to ciderhelm ;)

Take care! Love and Light,

Namasté

[vriesdemarcel]

LOL @ google ad: "Growing bald? Try the new anti bald shampoo - click here!"

[notunderyourbed]

We all now know that Ciderhelm is fucking a saggy tit attention whore.

[unclejj2]

God speed.

[B33f1NAT0R]

in the words of mikeb "he must be tanking that all night"

[SAMSUNG2494]

FROM AN IRISH WOMAN TO AN IRISH MAN

[reprox]

I like Ciderhelm's voice :D

[Khaldunmaaku]

@reprox Aliena's voice was annoying.

[drumma2003]

ok so you say you're not gonna make many more raiding videos... thats koo, how about you let the other people make the videos and you narrate them. i honestly stopped watching your vids when everyone else started narrating. personally, they're more difficult to follow and the voices are slightly annoying. not being mean, but you should narrate.

[SnorlaxTxT]

im currently using the exact same headset XD, although im getting a new one next week

[hyperiontheevil]

Actually i take back my last post, im not okay with it. I just had an ad from that incredibly annoying Sham-wow idiot and i couldn't get rid of it. One of the things i like about tank-spot clips is that they were clean and to the point. The moment i have to start watching adds just to get to content is when you lose me.

Bad enough we have a crap load of commercial crap in WoW itself but to get it here as well is like having someone crap on your head, and then expect you to thank them for the hat

[nannybannany]

@hyperiontheevil Well if you were a TankSpot donor you could download all the videos, in HD no less! It's pony up or deal with ads; pick the lesser of two evils.

[hyperiontheevil]

I'm totally okay with you guys selling Tankspot, but lets not kid ourselves. Other people will be giving you your marching orders.

[DM3MSTR]

Glad to see a video from you again, and it's great that you're staying on top of your real life now while playing the game. I can really relate to the stress of leading raids, especially the attendance worry, and how you said it, you need people who are willing to listen to what they're doing wrong, and willing to correct that. It's just too much to worry about when real things need to be done.

[nightstormrains]

I'm sure you've been asked this a million times, but what's a good software to use when you're recording from your laptop? Thanks.

[CT2SKATE]

Is it true that you were a Marine? This video makes me not so sure...

[ETHHtv]

Your room looks boring =(

[seanyo82]

fat bald loser with no life... not suprised he plays wow...

[WoWFeinted]

@seanyo82 I bet you're a fat red headed loser that can't afford playing wow.

[infared54321]

@seanyo82 he was in the military, he would kill you with his bare hands

[H1BR1A]

how are you smashin aliena ,  you are the luckiest man in the world, keep her because your ugly as fuck and your never going to find anything better

[ScouttheDoggieFan]

god damn...

[EtdTM]

holy shit cider's getting some aliena on the slick. can we haz video?

[Luuk178]

I really like the personality you've put in it! Same counts for Lore, although he generally repeats himself 5 times, then says he's gonna go back to the subject and repeats it twice again ^^ Love it haha

[LieutenantLloyd]

I'll vouch for the guy if he's getting a nice slice of Aliena...

[Downfurlife]

So, what is going on - fat ass? Who is going to help me play WoW during cataclysm? Just because you became a fat slob you quit? I need you, fatso. I know where a nice Ballies is right next to Pat's Steak.

[NeitruneThaPally]

The only reason we say what happened to ciderhelm is just because we miss hearing that soft core pornography music and of course your clear informative voice. Because seriously.. the other people who make the guides arnt really as good as you for real

[ksherman51]

their dating probably

[reprox]

i like ciderhelm's voice

[mizzery2u]

i smell something fishy.. same room much?

[madmoddersparkler]

"we've got to recruit someone to replace this guy who figure out how to not stand in the fire" You're right, CLASSIC, I feel the same frustration. I raid pretty seriously both as a raid member(on my shaman ele/resto) and a raid leader(as a DK blood tank), and the raid i lead has been stuck in ICC by either people refusing to learn the fights and thus standing in awful stuff on the ground or range DPS using us to get geared then leaving the instant they are ready for the gear checks.

[itummy18]

HOLY SHIT! Ciderhelm and Aliena live in the SAME PLACE!!!

[gurtaj]

lol same room.. u guys gf and bf or husband and wife?:S .. cuz its the same room where aliena did her weekly too 

[lucidentropy]

Simply put, thanks for keepin' it real, Ciderhelm.

[kingdavid09]

@arpulwon ROFL!!

[kangur115]

@arpulwon

So what? Atleast he got courage to show hes face on the camera. Im wondering how you look... Fatty nerdage looser that hates all the world?

[Mamboleo1995]

soo are lore&aliena doing the weekly marmot still?where will it be posted?

[dkgamer92]

Maybe, a lan or something ?

[ryannperry]

It's nice to see someone that has a realistic outlook at being a gamer and maintaining a real life. Thank you for your comments and contributions both past and future bro!

[darkweaversythnas]

YEAHHHHHHHHHH IRISH IRA IRA

[chingchong748]

[MeSmashThings14]

@chingchong748 sad if he is lmao..smh

[GuitarheroPresident]

@chingchong748 Yes,he is.

[MegaSpooke]

@chingchong748

Lucky bastard >_<

[ceana27]

@chingchong748 if they are......skype it for me =P

[bigspook999]

@chingchong748 I bet she is at least a foot taller than him..lol

[Caleb48kb]

@chingchong748 lolll

[DamnationGaming]

@chingchong748 no i am

[CynicalMatthias]

I appreciate you, Ciderhelm, talking openly about what happend to you and what you went through. Congratulations on things working out the way the did!

[TheHunterwt]

[xmcbanex]

[Christofereh4]

[1337one1]

I like patrick as the host, the most i hope he makes lots more vids

[thebober10]

i cant understand a word that german lady said, please dub the videos

[VelaStorm7]

You're not irish!!! Why do American people call themselves Irish! I'm Irish, you're not!
