In a 4-part video series that runs 38 minutes, G4′s Morgan Webb went to Blizzard last week, and returned with a retrospective on WoW that makes a good kick-0ff for the 5th anniversary month of our favorite MMO:
Three more videos, and a Grunty giveaway, after the jump!
Want to win a Grunty The Murloc Marine in-game pet from Blizzard and The Instance? Here’s what you do – just leave a comment on this post in the blog before 9PM PST today (Monday, Nov. 2). One commenter wins the code!
OMG I HOPE I WIN THE MURLOC! lol I haven’t seen the videos because I’m at work but as soon as the boss leaves you all know what I ‘m gonna be doing hehe.
BTW where can I go and check who won previously?
Good Stuff. Always nice to go back memory lane. I can’t help but find the comment about Metzen as the game’s lorekeeper timely though as I just got the Loremaster title only last saturday
.
Grgl Grgl Grgl! Oh and I love the show.
Always fascinating to see how game development actually works. I could listen to these stories for hours.
i always loving hearing stuff from Blizzard especially whne its about wow thanks for the video links
I liked the videos, haven’t seen Morgans hair in a while….must say I don’t like it….she use to be super hot….not much anymore….
Loving the show and site guys keep up the good work.
Oh and if it isn’t too much to ask how about you give me that pet?
Morgan is a sexy lady as always
This is a random post for a random murloc giveaway…
Skipped to the Jeff Kaplan interview, gonna have to go back and watch all the others now.
Ya Morgan looks great. loved the first Guy tossing it out to the Croc shirt. I had a ton of those growing up thought they where cool. But can anyone ancer me Umm where was he looking?
Cool stuff, thanks for putting it up.
Here is a comment. Look at it.
that first guy could just not look at morgan, was amusing
I love being able to put faces with the names of some of the creators of WOW that we hear about on The Instance.
Great videos, thanks for sharing.
thanks for putting these up wouldn’t of seen them other wise
Morgan Webb could read a soup can and I’d probably …. wait, that’s a lie, I’d definitely watch it. The fact that she actually likes games just takes her to eleven.
Its hard to believe that wow has been around for 5 years now. Looking back on it you can really tell how the game has developed in story and gameplay over the years. And it also makes me say, time goes by fast when you’re playing wow.
Man, I wish I could have been in the beta, so I could complain about these punk kids who don’t think being level 15 is an accomplishment!
Videos look awsome going to have to watch them when I get home and dont have a Boss watching over my shoulder.
Have been listening to the show for about 1.5 months. But have listened to about 25 or show shows. Great show, keep up the great job.
Haven’t been in game for 2 years yet but do have my level 80 hunter (been there for about 5 months).
Thanks for the help and hints guys.
mmmm enchiladas!
It’s strange to think that I’ve been playing for almost 5 years now. WoW has become an ever-present part of my life that even if I don’t play a lot, is just always there. I’ll have to watch these more closely when I get home tonight.
It’s always incredible hearing about all that goes behind the scene.
I love developer interviews. Thanks for posting these, guys.
I absolutely love listening to everything that happens backstage at Blizzard. Thanks for posting!
<3
definitely interesting interviews. thanks a ton for posting these
I cant believe its been 5 years…i cant imagine what i would have done for the last five years without wow…i just felt a cold chill go down my spine lol. love G4, love morgan….especially Olivia….and, i love grunty murlock?? (in my best ron burgundy voice)
I want to work at Blizzard.
I WILL PAINT MY FACE WITH THEIR BLOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do we not have witch hunters in the game?
Obey Grunty?
You has a comment; can I has Murlocs nao?!?!
Pretty good interview. I like long in depth coverage. Pretty uncommon from G4.
mmmmmmmm…. blizzard….
Cool interviews.. Very interesting.
I wonder when the Cataclysm beta will be out
Thanks for putting these interviews up! I probably would have missed them otherwise. I really loved hearing about the development of this awesome game.
I am eagerly anticipating Jeff Kaplan’s current project he can not talk about….yet.
Thanks for sharing. These interviews are great.
I can haz murloc?
Thanks for posting these. You guys are so turbo.
Pizwack,
Swoon
I love hearing about the beginnings of the game, before it was first released. It’s interesting to find out how much certain things were already thought out and how little others were. I wonder if they had thought of Grunty already back then… I know I think about him a lot!
If she really is just going to Blizzard, why dont we get more StarCraft/Diablo coverage? I know WOW is blizzards big game but i think some of us old time Diablo players are just as exited for Diablo III as we are Cataclysem.(Oops) Am I right or Am I just to much of a Diablo nerd?
I used to love Morgan Webb in the TechTV days *cough* so hot *cough*. Come to think of it, my wifes name is Morgan… wow, stalker much?
(ps. I am not really stalking.. just saying)
Very cool stuff.
I wonder what changes the Blizzard development team has made to their expansion building process since BC. Btw when is Morgan joining AIE?
loved the videos pretty insightful
love the podcast and xplay
@TheMjolnrMan: I totally agree. I played a lot of Diablo II back in the day, and I’m totally stoked for the new game, especially since I lost all hope during all those years when it was almost certain that there would be no sequel…
But as to Morgan… I really liked X-play, back when it was a genuinely funny show. But ever since it changed to a more “serious” show, I stopped watching G4. I miss the old show… These videos were great, btw.
I’m lovin the videos, thanks for posting them, wouldn’t have found them otherwise
JKAPP IS OUT OF HIS CAVE!!!!
Interesting.
I personnaly don’t like videos like that very much, cause video games developers tend to present their new game as the most incredible thing ever created by man so far. But well, this is Blizzard.
eeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrhhhhgggggggglrlrlrlrglrlglrlg
Murloc race wanted!
