The Battleground Leader absolutely decimating that child with a snowball had me rolling.

I think it gets better when you realize that child is Anduin

Hey, the dwarf miner got back together with his wife! Great vid as always.

[@knightghaleon]

I’m happy for them.

[@markmikolay9019]

He made her a statue from all the ingots, that's really funny.

[@roccobayne2196]

And his arm is broken from getting slammed into the wall by the guild leader. Continuity 100%

[@Chickenlegs145]

You know what I just realized? That isn’t Mr. bigglesworth. It’s a kitten that looks like him. Mr. Bigglesworth was killed in a earlier raid, and arthas, sensing his friend’s pain at the loss of his cat, sent him this kitten to love and care for.... Thank you Arthas, you are a truly benevolent king and an even better friend.

[@JohnnyLifts69]

Long live the king

[@thewanderer_ii]

And when the world needed him most He returned

[@goraksguide]

Hey guys! I'm sorry the video is out so crazy late - I realize it's not exactly Christmas or New Years anymore, but I hope you'll remember the holiday season when you watch it :) Thanks for waiting!

[@newmans191]

A well made vid is never late

[@omulnes6109]

Don't worry, take your time with these amazing animations that you are doing for these past years.

[@Dzejrou]

Worth waiting for, this is an absolutely wonderful creation!

[@3Dyler]

We have had one new years, yes. What about second new years?

[@l_Hellscream_l]

wonderful job, it´s so sweet, really hit´s the season

[@Seiklis]

and he made her a copper statue....

Mailman was smart enough to use gnome as an shield i bet he got idea from Nixxiom

[@emilymcelroy3124]

The dwarf and his family reconciled, this is the best news in 2021 so far

[@Sapteken]

He made a statue of her from copper!

[@josejuanandrade4439]

Yeah the level of detail is crazy! I almost missed them because i was laughing so hard at the kid and the battleground leader!

[@BjornBS]

That's got to be the most prepared mailman ever.

[@woyermain7732]

He even had an emergency gnome.

[@KingLich451]

"Now that is a delivery service you can count on!"

[@samwisedidier7312]

Its actually ridiculous how good you are at making these animations

[@adyenlichtwachter6684]

That gasping Anub'Rekhan tho!

[@spykeex69]

Ok I don't know what made me break out in laughter more, Kid Anduin get faceplanted by a snowball, or the safety dance.

[@pendragonfan42]

I SOMEHOW completely failed to anticipate the Safety Dance and I lost my shit when he did it!

[@adyenlichtwachter6684]

I cannot choose

[@josejuanandrade4439]

The conga line!!! hahahaha i can't choose either hahahaha!

[@Xylaria2115]

Watching this every New Year has become a new tradition. Thank you so much for all the work you put into these. Cheers!

[@woyermain7732]

Emergency Gnome: Throws a gnome to counteract incomming projectiles. Warning: Gnome will scream in terror.

[@goraksguide]

I made an "Emergency Gnome" sticker for the postman's bag, but it ruined the flow a bit so I removed it again :)

[@KyleAlexJohn]

Man, I'm just glad the dwarf family made it work in the end. I felt so bad for him after the Guild Leader ruined everything he worked for.

[@Irken_Invader_Zim]

I mean its destiny, if it wasn’t for that guild leader he couldn’t get his wife back, all the ingots he mined for raid preparation was used to make a statue for his wife

[@birdmammal2025]

Can we just appreciate how dedicated the postmaster is to his job

[@TheTrueFeleas]

Arthas, always a true bro to his best lich.

[@Masterwar15]

Even after becoming a cold psycho Arthas and Kel'thuzad were still best buddies.

[@petarpoposki2994]

Especially in WC3 TFT, he literally has friendships with KT and Anub'arak

[@Blazieth]

He *literally* calls Kel'thuzad a friend in Frozen Throne, so yeah.

[@emphatic1988]

Ive watched tons of Machinimas, this is the most wholesome, pure one ive ever had the priviledge to see!

[@G4briel1337]

You took a raid that has given me more suffering than joy and you did something so endearing, you are the best: D

Hey, Naxx is a lovely place.. xD Kind of place you would want to invite your family to

Holy fuck this has to be the best, it's gonna be tough to top this one off.

[@mattjustofficial]

Amazing. Who doesn't love Mr. Bigglesworth?? Also, shoutout to that troll throwing the snowball from hell

[@markmikolay9019]

This made me so emotional. Also really nice to see the mining obsessed dwarf get back to his wife and kid.

[@reikasis8579]

Am I the only one, who has tears in the eyes when Razuvious started singing?

[@agavisanin744]

KT and the kitten almost make me tear up every time.

[@wildefice1]

This is something that you would see back in Machinimas prime, between 2007 and 2009. I laughed through the whole thing and my heart genuinely melted when the cat gave KT a kiss.

Come to think of it, Gorak's stuff does remind me of things like the Azerothian Super villains(anyone remember that?).

GORAK IS BACKKKKKKKKKK! Edit after watching: My god, this is by far the best piece of art you've done and the standarts were really high. Please keep it up mate, it is always a pleasure to see stories this funny and heartwarming

[@icymoonbyul2942]

This just made me cry. Poor Kel😭

[@figtmen5]

You don't often see this type of quality animations anymore, it isn't feasible anymore for the average youtube since so much work needs to be put in. I have so much respect for you delivering these awesome funny animations nonetheless. And I don't care a bit that it's late. Good content is never late!

[@dexteradams6515]

Oh, that felt good to watch.

[@Sarik0497]

I truly hope that Gorak knows just how damn good he is. To me, and I'm sure a lot of people, he's one of the best WoW creators out there. I truly hope you get a lot more subscribers soon, because you truly deserve it :-)

I watch this once a month for serotonin.

[@flyingoctopus4304]

The first few seconds I thought it was going to be a Harrison Jones stea- SAVES something from Naxxramas, but this is a lot more wholesome instead. Thanks for uploading Gorak. Doesn't matter if it's late, it's the thought that counts.

My eyes actually teared up during this episode. Good job man! seriously it was amazing

[@janakipejov3667]

Man, bless you. Seriously, this is the most beautiful thing, my eyes teared up. All of your Classic videos were amazing, but this is just pure joy. You're really talented, I hope you'll continue to make Classic TBC and WOTLK videos, and never apologize for getting videos out late - it's worth the wait. Btw, the part when KT watches into the E. Forest house, and the view changes so we see his reflection; amazing.

I have a hard time finding someone who does machinima for ANY kind of game...without using actual speech...to instill so many good vibes in my heart.
