[@anthonykneipiii4562]

When Blizzard couldn’t mess up… 😮‍💨 those were the days…

[@anstjsdlr]

I so much love from 0:29 to 0:31. His face is like "What are these nerds?"

[@Banana-cc5rx]

+Sun Moon he doesn't even understand how golden and valuable his voice is to us fans lol

[@thinhvo3893]

Sun Moon The guy created all of this universe buddy. He is more nerdy than all of us.

[@16thChemical]

Marine, Ghost, Battle Cruiser are all too different kinds of character and accent! What a talent!

[@Pluti]

I love the crowd's reaction to "Battlecruiser operational".

[@robinscheldeman4238]

Goddamnit. Instant goosebumps from "Battlecruiser operational". Those were the days, the best time to be alive, to be a 15 year young kid, and we didn't realise :-) I'm getting emotional everytime I hear the OST and sounds from the original SC menu en gameplay. Instant flashbacks to emotions at atmosphere... Good times.

[@user-me7mm7gr1p]

I miss the old blizzard. Before they sold out and when it actually were blizz with CHris metzen, Mike Morhaime etc.

[@judicatorhurayth1927]

:(

[@rainretribute9852]

"Yea idk I'm not good, my voice..." meanwhile most bone chilling awesome voice acting ever

[@vim9099]

Kudos to the guy who asked that question that led to some epic answers xD

[@sythek3697]

Every once in a while I come back to this clip for that "Battlecruiser operational" line. It brings me joy every single time.

[@samusaran13372]

Hey Sythek, here's a reminder to come back for it again

[@sythek3697]

@@samusaran13372 many thanks. I feel joy again.

[@anthonykneipiii4562]

Hey, Sythek, i know it hasn’t been very long since the last time but make sure to watch this once more. Lol It was nice to remember and see this again.

[@Sythek]

@@anthonykneipiii4562thank you brother. What an amazing timing you got! This made my day. Hope you have a fantastic life!

[@Artey86]

He is so casual about this. His voice is amazing, especially Thrall and Ragnaros

[@Synthbin]

Chris voice acts like a boss , the Battlecruiser no one can do that like him

[@oozorakyou]

0:25 eargasmic maybe he doesn't realise how cool he voice it

[@MrHouse135]

Wow he did the battlecruiser really well lol . Great guy and focuses on his work :D

[@ჩაკნორისი]

Chris Metzen is a besT!!!

[@mikkelolesen3421]

I never thought that it was CHRIS that was Thrall and Ragnaros neither Varian. BY FIRE BE PURGED!! :D

[@darwinpoop854]

Allot of fucking npcs are done by chris. THEY ALL SOUND THE SAME

[@gasgano8255]

[@MrMusicGuy1980]

I remember when I would just look at Metzen's art in the Diablo manual, those were the days.

[@mz_emmet]

it's thRALL!!!

[@hordeforlife2802]

I AM, the Warchief.

[@morteminfernum8460]

0:57 When Thrall becomes Warchief again n Blizz makes a cutscene of his return 😆

[@Gilbertto_]

HE'S BACK!! HE'S BACK BOYS!!! HE'S THRALL!!

[@maerkstrongrock6984]

He hesitate with actor, but a voice actor remains an actor!

[@laserbeamspaceship9208]

Is it bad that I've replayed the voices like 15 times already?

[@titan133760]

nope

[@Justjustinp]

Chris Metzen after voicing some of the most iconic characters in Blizzard's games: "yea I voiced a few roles"

[@Altermerea]

Yeah, he missed some of his roles too, I'm pretty sure he has also voice acted the Skeleton King in the original Diablo, in World of Warcraft he's voiced Nefarian and Hakkar the Soulflayer, afair.

[@BigStupidJellyfish3]

Taste the flames of Sulfuron!

[@Doronsmovies]

Dis one is fo yu Kris, a did yuu plaaay any rho ii wodl of waaarcraft and starcraft and maaybe the diablo.

[@jeppek1ng]

[@AndrewPortess]

AWESOME! Chris Metzen is a legend! :D

[@killzone10]

god i would love to hear him say "Strength and honor"

[@holaholahoy]

Metzen is Awesomne :D

[@tyrantprime]

"Battlecruiser Operational" Crowd: UOAHHOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOHOHOHOHOHUUUHH

[@RyokenMK]

I love the shock from the crowd after the Battlecruiser comment.

[@sergioviana84]

Chris Metzen, the Tony Stark of voice acting :D

[@theossy]

Why is this guy so effing modest?.. like "yeah, no, I only did the battle cruiser, the marine and ghost... not like they're probably the single coolest voices from SC. Oh also him there Thrall and good ol' Ragnaros, but y'all could probably care less." Chris Metzen, you're the man. nuff said

[@DirectInjected]

The very first nerdstar! Keep kicking ass

[@fpsfps3941]

You got a masculine voice I really likable your voice when i'm playing terran with a battle cruiser , man

[@Squigsaplenty]

Metzen is my hero.

[@hippaul]

Damn I wish I could have heard him do the Ragnaros voice here.

[@derekgornall]

Haha watch him all of a sudden yell: "BY FIRE BE PUUUUURGED!!!!!!"

[@DizzyDoucheBag]

"Zis wan iz fo yu, coreiz, uh.. did you ple eni ro in like wod o waorcrah end uh stahcrah end mebi didiablouh".

[@eagles7575]

Chris is the man!!!

[@farokbulsara]

the best "voice" ever!!

[@POLE7645]

@xIegionx Yep, he did voiced in the new games (he's still the Battlecruiser and the Marine in Starcraft 2).

[@michel6]

@tacosifyme I lost the count of how many times I rolled back the video to listen to that guy while reading what you typed. Thumbs to sky if you guys couldnt resist as well.

[@1337Figaro]

voice actor in old blizz games? Lol he is the voice actor of Algalon and the creator of all wow lore :P

[@lordkiljaeden3887]

Epic

[@lordkiljaeden3887]

You decide how to kill this one Master Sargeras

[@tikalal]

@ragnarok820 And what are you basing this off? Wowwiki? It's unverified who did the voice. Some think it was Harlan Hogan but he doesn't know if he did it or not because he was doing so many roles at the time.

[@tikalal]

@KisiroKitsune Thrall doesn't always yell, there is plenty of calm dialogue in WC3. I distinctly remember going 'wtf' when Thrall started speaking in the Caverns of Time. Many say Harlan Hogan did the voice, and there is not anywhere you can point me where Metzen says he did hi for WC3.

[@Mavidyatunes]

Chris Metzen, the coke man! I also love his Mtn. Dew Advertising.

[@UnholyRenton]

To hardest one to believe is the ghost.

[@odeholo1024]

Rip Chrish Metzen

[@hexmaster23]

You know he is still alive just retired

[@aznmarinex2]

I bet you when people started clapping after he said Battlecruiser Operational, he was like LOL what is with these people. XD That is the vibe I got from that

[@Ogabill]

@PianoAnalyst yeah, that's a possibility

[@100TZE]

Lok'tar friend, have you come to serve the Horde? For the Horde!

[@Gururimba]

This guy is... GOD

[@Royal-mw1lu]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@V45hTh3Stamp3d3]

@Shodex4 So true. Often times even overshadowing heroes in the games.

[@RaptorJesus.]

"yes, i am everyone."

[@ChicGamer90]

Battlecruiser Operation!!! Spam those Battlecruisers boys!

[@dieman566]

Battle cruiser is the coolest!

[@tikalal]

@KisiroKitsune Nope, Thrall's voice during the Caverns of Time instance in WoW is different.

[@misjif2341]

Zis one for you, Krees.

[@zhai01]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@scgpunisher]

He is my idol lol.

[@smokanci]

@tikalal He said World of warcraft, not warcraft III.

[@fluffynoses]

@VoidStyleTV LOL that was hilarious but i think you're missing a myagkiy znak somewhere hahaha

[@KainSlash]

The guy is actually right. You are right too, the stories were never AMAZING, but they were atleast interesting and even original to an extent, they also where very atmospheric. I am talking about original Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo 1-2. I really loved blizzard games and the GAMEPLAY is still nice, but the stories, they just became horrible. Starcaft 2, Diablo 3 both bad writting. MMO's I don't play so much. But damn. =(

[@TheInceptum]

They never drank those mountain dews

[@NYCFreed1]

@MrHouse135 yeah he did do it really well, but if my memory serves me right the "operational" third syllable was a bit high. I thought his "I am Thrall" was perfect though.

[@Orwellxx]

the asian man steals the show!

[@tikalal]

The Thrall thing sounded off. I don't think he did Thrall in Warcraft III.

[@Duality1]

THIS ONE FO' CHRIS.

[@ComeLeVent]

he is literally Jim Raynor

[@LivTheCyberdhole]

wild metzen appears! metzen uses EVERY SINGLE FUCKING BOSS IN WOW player uses FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- it has no effect

[@khris89]

@Treekodar he sort of does

[@Yusuf1187]

He voices so many characters, but has only one voice for all of them....

[@thevlaka]

needs more korean asking questions

[@dessan18]

I'm pretty sure he has voiced also King Leoric in Diablo.

[@Altermerea]

He did :D the Skeleton King had only one line though. In World of Warcraft apart from King Varian, Thrall and Ragnaros, he's also voiced Nefarian and Hakkar the Soulflayer.

[@ThomasSilva1997]

THRALL!!

[@bartoszkupper9551]

BATTLECRUISER OPERATIONAL !

[@Sevilou]

didn't he do Algalon aswell?

[@bibianrose]

목소리가 정말 멋진데 일단 쓰고 계신 건 물안경인가요?

[@xIegionx]

@POLE7645 cause he said he did it in the old one or the original not the new one

[@Darkicec]

OMG!!!!!!!
