 Now, you actually enjoy playing Rath in leveling and shit? It's okay. Is Bonnie streaming? No, no. Wait, is Bonnie in your group? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, you're dying. I'm healing. Wait, are you doing a dungeon? No, we're doing this quest a little late. Hey, Mermanah. All right, cool. So you're about to dig, bro. You're getting close. One bar. Yeah, dude, Rath, I mean, it's been, leveling is leveling, you know? It's all right. It's interesting because this is super different because I've never leveled in Rath. I've never played Rath. Like, I played the very beginning of Rath and the very end of Rath for like a month each. And then I quit. This is a first-time experience for me. Yeah. Like, which I don't have a whole lot of first-time places. I should have joined you guys. It's fun, dude. Yeah, you should have. Although, I'm too far behind. You can get caught up pretty fast because we've been going kind of slow. Yeah, it's because it's Bonnie's first time. It's like better, you know? Yeah, every WoW expansion, there's like, chance goes pretty hard with like leveling fast. And I don't know, I think Asmond does too, right? Yeah, this is just like a different situation. I remember when Classic first came out. Asmond was cranking like, Scarlet Monastery like 12 hours a day. Yeah, I mean, me too. So like, I'll do that again whenever Rath actually launches. Like, I'll try and get to 80 as fast as I can. But I think leveling this is kind of better. Man, you should just, you should just start leveling. I mean, honestly, I'm down. But to be honest, this is my first day. I haven't touched my computer and played games. And I feel better than I've felt in so long. Like, I've been like, I quit League. Well, that's because it's League. It was League. No, I'm like, legit. Like, I actually feel like I've been moving and I've been getting sun and I've been using the sauna and I've been working out. And I feel like my body's actually like just happy. Like responding. Yeah, it's like my muscles don't hurt as bad. I don't feel as, I don't feel like I'm hunched over or like sad fuck. Like, I actually feel like I have some fucking like dopamine in my brain now, which is nice. Bro, this actually might be fun leveling in Rath again. Like, did you start in Bory and Tundra, right? Yeah, Bory and Tundra. What's the other one, chat? Dude, I remember, dude, I was still in high school when that shit came out. I was literally a freshman in high school. And I remember going to Bory and Tundra and like leveling and shit. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, fuck starting and howling forage bullets. Wait, hold on, you were a freshman in high school? Yeah, when it came out. Wait, what year, how old are you? I'm 30, bro. Wait, what? Yeah. What do you mean, what? Was I not, I was a senior in high school, wasn't I? I don't know, I got held back a few times. I'm gonna be honest, bro. I'm just keeping it real, dude. Yeah, they, listen, dude, I did not, I did not do what they liked, man. They worried about that in the stills life. Apparently not. Dude, I was late to school every single day and I'm talking like two hours late. Oh, God. I miss my first period class so much that he just said, yo, like there's no possible chance you pass. Like, I was like, oh, true. Oh, jeez. I got to raid last night though, so I'm chillin'. That's great. Yeah. Okay, like yeah, I remember raiding Naxx in Wrath and my friend's mom would like unplug his internet and she would be like, Oh no. He was max and around like nine, 10 o'clock he would just hear max and then he would just be like, and then he was our raid tank too. No shot. Yeah, he was our, like our off tank. So we needed him, you know? And like, bro, he would just go out and then it was like the raid was done and then we did all like all 25 people would just be sitting there with their dig out. It was so shit. That's so annoying. Dude, we had a, I had a friend of mine who his internet were turned off at 11.36 every night. Like a real life friend. And his dad was like, I don't know what's wrong with it. But obviously his dad set up like a thing. Dude, it just set like a parental control. Yeah, like a parental control. So what I did one time was I knew what the default settings were on the router. So what I did was we had the same ISP. It was like a local DSL internet thing. I reset his router and I manually plugged in all like the IP address, subnet, mask, whatever. And I just reset his router and then I got him back on the internet. So, wait, was he on the phone back then? Dude, you just went full nerd and got him back on. Yeah, dude. Bro, it's so easy to get around those parental controls. Like if you know what you're doing, like no dumbass should ever be held back by parental controls. Like if you really know what's good, like you'll fucking get around that shit, bro. That shit's so easy to fuck with. But dude, no, Rath was like probably one of my favorite expansions. Like that was actually when I first got the name Watch Me Blank. Oh really? Yeah, cause in BC, my- Your body coming in? My name was like- Yeah, they're helping these people. My name was so stupid before that. Really? Yeah. What was it? It's TOS. Oh, okay. Never mind, that sounds right then. Yeah. It sounded like it was stupid then. Yeah, it was stupid. And then I was Watch Me Blank, yeah. Bro, I was like, I was a vulgar little kid. I dropped out of college to play Wow. And then I lied to my dad and said I would start doing community college, but instead I just like went to Best Buy and used his credit card to buy like a $4,000 computer and I put it in our basement and I would just hide there all day playing well. Wait, so how did he not know? Because my dad was like rich and never looked at anything. Really? Yeah, bro. I would like steal his cars in the middle of the night. Like I was a little cunt dude, like. Really? Yeah, dude, I used to take his, like when I was like 14, me and my friends would just ride around in his cars. They were like really like sporty sports cars and we would just fuck around at like two in the morning. Yeah, it was so funny. Wait, what's your dad's like really nice to you and stuff? Hell no, mine has a cunt. Oh God, don't say this. I mean, that's the God's not his truth. Like it is what it is. Really? Yeah. That's solid. I'm sorry. Yeah, it is what it is. He's tried his best though, you know? Best Buy? For what it is, he tried his best. He's like, what he tried his best? He does try his best. Like, he's like, I know I've done awful things, but now I'm going to try and make up for it. So you were spoiled, Rich Kid? Until I turned 18 and then I didn't see another dollar from him again. Yeah, until I turned 18, I was pretty spoiled, yeah. Yeah, but then when I turned 18, he was just like, yep, you're on your own, kid. And he actually kicked me out of the house when I dropped out of college. He like, I had to go live with my friend, Max, who had the raging mom. Wait, this is the same Max? You should never take your kid out for dropping out of school. That's like amplifying the problem. It's like, all right, well. Well, he was like really upset because he helped me get like a full scholarship to like a really good school in our state and then I went for like two weeks and decided to play. I was like really close to rank one and I wanted to get it and I was like, fuck this college shit. Like I'm just gonna play wow. And yeah, this was when streaming was first blowing up too. It was around the time that Soda Pop and had first blown up, like right around that time. And I was like, I'm gonna do that, you know what I mean? And then I was like, fuck it, I did it, you know? Once I started making some money, then I moved in with my boy Ethan, who was like my next door neighbor. And then we just like rented a house and just like went full idiot mode for a while. That was pretty much it. Blown up at the time was like 2K viewers. Yeah, I know. I remember Soda Pop and getting like 6K viewers was like crazy back then. It was like, it was like wow. It kinda was, cause that was what, that was 10 years ago, that was like seven years ago. Yeah. Like dude, even Wreckful's first streams were like pretty big, like they were like four or 5K, which was like crazy back then, you know what I mean? That's wild. I remember watching Byron's first ever stream and it was like, it was in 2011. I was, I was with Max actually. We were fucking chill and playing wow. Yeah. And he went live, like literally to fund like his poker, you know? Like he was just like, he was, Byron was like literally like I'll scream, but like I wanna play poker. Like he was like obsessed with poker. A lot of people were around that time actually. Yeah, this was around like the full tilt, like all that shit was going. It was before like the US government shut down online poker. Yeah, this was like, Athene was doing it and a whole bunch of people were doing it. I mean, he was not US, but like. Byron's first stream ever was kind of crazy. He was just like running around Stormwind with the shittiest quality ever. But he had his like Warglade of the Rogue and everyone was just like fucking stoked. You know what I mean? Yeah. It was the shittiest quality though, Bro, I'm fucking conradical if you know what that is, you know what that is? Or he was like a warlock that was just like a homie. I don't know Conrad. You don't know Conrad? Shit, bro. Yeah, I don't know any, because you gotta remember like I'm like. You're a new frog-ish. It kind of. Cause like I'm new to like that whole scene but I quit before all you guys got popular. Yeah. I quit before everybody got popular. Yeah, you were like OG OG and then quit and then. Yeah. That was before anybody was popular when I quit. Yeah, bro. Nobody was fucking streaming in Vanilla. Like. In TBC. TBC, same thing. Yeah, people started streaming at like the beginning of Breath of Lush King. Yeah, it was like and even then that was like, I remember X-Fire. It was X-Fire streams, yeah. Yeah, cause people did X-Fire for Dark Azure Camelot too. Cause I actually like found out about like, cause I had X-Fire. Yeah. Cause X-Fire used to be like a chat. Like it was aimed for video games. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause I used to have an X-Fire account for that. Yeah. I remember streaming my first Gladiator push. Look, come out to the dock. Wait, what was the last season of Wrath of Lich King? I was even streaming on X-Fire season nine, which was the beginning of Cataclysm. Cause season 11 was the end of Cataclysm. Yeah, I was streaming on X-Fire in early Cataclysm. So Twitch must've just became like a thing around mid-Cataclysm was probably when Twitch like started to switch over from just to TV. Oh, right. Oh yeah. It's like that would be. It was probably like mid-Cata. Like I'd say 2010, 2011. Like 2012, Twitch was like pretty big. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. What do you call it? 2012 is when I made my Twitch account. Yeah. I actually made a Twitch account and I didn't know anybody. Yeah. That's when everyone was freaking out about the end of the world or something. Probably. Yeah. The Mayans. Yeah, the world was gonna end. The Mayan calendar thing. Yeah, I remember that shit. Bro, I actually remember that. Someone in your chat said in 2010, it was Starcraft II was absolutely huge then. That's true. Yeah. Yeah, Starcraft was massive back in 2010. That's actually true. That's also when League first started like kind of getting some traction. So that's what it was. I made a Twitch account in 2012 and I didn't watch anybody, but I actually streamed, like I did a couple streams where I played League. Really? Because I was a computer science student and I wanted to know, like, I was just a nerd. So I wanted to know like what bit rate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So I didn't, I wasn't really trying to stream, but dude, I remember streaming and this was like just randomly like I would stream and I had like 70 viewers one day. On Xfire? On Twitch. Wait, really? I have no idea why. That's crazy. I just randomly had 70 viewers and it was like, I had no followers or anything. That's weird. Yeah. Must have been like embedded from some site or something. I don't even know. Cause I, That used to happen. I didn't advertise my stream. That's weird. Because I remember the way that I first started getting viewers on Twitch was through Arena Junkies. If you know what that's like was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you could- Arena Junkies was around in Burning Crusade. Yeah, you could post your stream on Arena Junkies and people would go to the Arena Junkies and see like streams of like good players and then they would come to Twitch through that. Like that was the original funnel for like all the big streamers. Yeah. It was actually Arena Junkies. And then also like Warcraft movies had some like, you know, cool movies. Like people did PvP videos and like, what was this guy? Yeah, Warcraft movies was sick back in the day, bro. I'm actually excited to level in Wrath. Going to Borya and Tundra again and what was like the Nexus or something? It was called the Nexus, right? The Dragon Zone, you know what I'm talking about? It was like blue and it was snowy and shit. Oh, I actually know what you're talking about. It's to the left of Borya and Tundra. It's like the top left. Yeah, it's where Malagos is or something like that. What's it called? Dragon Boy. No. No, it's like wherever that, where's that dungeon that's in Borya and Tundra? There, it's to the left. It's right here. Yeah, like go out. It's that zone. Yeah, that's what it is. What is that? Right here. Oh my God, and this zone is beautiful too. This is where... Bro, Wintergrasp is back. Oh my God, this is gonna be so sick. I love Wintergrasp, dude. Bro, fuck, that's actually so sick. Why do I think the WoW map is bigger than our Earth's map? Bro, there was that raid inside Wintergrasp where you could get that good gear. Oh yeah, if you won Wintergrasp, you got access to a raid, right? Yes, and then you would do the raid and there was like really good gear that would drop. It would drop like tier, like three PVP gear. Bro, I'm so excited to raid in Naxx again. Like, dude, that's like the one nostalgic raid I actually... Like that was the only time... Naxx really? The only time I ever raided was in Naxx. That was it. After that, I would win full PVP and never touch the raid again. I had a full like try hard raiding guild and we killed the last boss, Kel'Thuzad, right? Yeah, we killed KT. I was the first person on my server to get the turning tide, which was the best fucking weapon you could get. Really? Yeah, I was the first person on my server to get it. Yeah, I was pretty nerdy, like PVE back then. The thing is, is like, unfortunately, Naxx is like a joke now. Back then, it was easy back then, but it wasn't like it is now. Oh yeah, for sure. Because the problem is, is back then, nobody had done like the 25 guilds that cleared Naxx before Wrath came out, but now everybody did Naxx in classic. So it's actually like, they re-released it, right? They re-released it. Is it pretty much the same thing? It's the same thing. They made it a little bit harder, but they didn't make it hard enough. Like they gave everything like 30% more damage and health. But like, that's not enough. So it's literally the exact same raid. Yeah. Which is still cool. Wait, I'm wondering why they re-released, probably because when the game and it originally came out, their player base had increased so much by Wrath of Lich came that they were like, we want to give players a chance to play this, right? Yeah. Yeah, but now it's like, now it's like this is the third time around, you know what I mean? Yeah, so it's different. Cause back then they basically released the exact same raid and it wasn't a big deal. Wait, what the hell is General Marcus trolling? It wasn't a big deal, because nobody, not even like, like 5% of people had played in classic that had started, like by Wrath of Lich came they had like 10 million subs or 15 million subs, something like that, right? And in classic, at the same time that Naxx was like 12 million. Yeah, and the same, that was their peak, right? It was Wrath of Lich came to their peak. That was the peak, but it was also the expansion where they lost the most subs for the first time. Yeah, but it was like the beginning. Toward the end of the expansion started declining. No, no, no, it was, it was, you had Wrath of Lich King, it had like 12 mil when it came out, like at the end of Burning Crusade basically. It was like 36. And then you had a bunch of people quit and a bunch of people joined at the same time. Wrath, a lot of people quit during Wrath. Wrath was so good though. Well, he was like, you say it was good cause you didn't really play the original too. Cause you started playing at the very end of Burning Crusade, right? Yeah. There's a lot of people quit whenever Wrath, like during the time Wrath, because Wrath changed the game a whole ton.
