Legends Of WoW - Zalgradis

[@falithon]

Used to play with Zal loads on Al'Akir - PVP, PVE, grinding furbolgs in Felwood to get a ridiculously low drop rate item for a mutual friend. Good times and great to hear his voice after all these years. What a blast from the past. Hope you're well Zal, Rick (Falithon)

[@ricardo_1989]

I also played on al akir

[@viralshark]

His bit where he ganks people in orgrimmar, with the 2H from Zul'Gurub, in full shadowcraft, is my favorite WoW video of all time.

[@sigurdtveit3237]

You know it's good when Mike starts simpin

[@SaturdayLuggage]

This guy zalgradis is the reason my friends and I all play alliance today, I saw his video and immediatley stopped playing my druid and rolled a pally and did everything he did in the videos was such a great time !

[@sHmAaa]

I would love to suggest '' Luptis ''. I know he made me re-roll from a mage to a NE hunter called '' Laptos '' (I know, I was young) the moment I saw his first video. And I am sure that he made PLENTY of other people reroll hunter. He was amazing, yet so simple and his video were just great and well edited. I believe he is a Vanilla hunter legend.

[@steel4o]

Zalgradis, Grim, Azgaz all legends of Al Akir and the Warcraftmovies era.

Just looked up Zalgradis 3 for nostalgia and got recommended this video, listened to the whole thing. Love the guy.

[@NikkiWonka]

This is the guy who brought me and my irl buddy to wow back in the day, true legend.

[@EdimaRuh]

Never seen youtube put a video in my feed stating uploaded 2 seconds ago.

[@positivepatrolleader4914]

Dude, first this guy was SUCH A GOOD person to interview, and second WATCH TALES OF THE PAST!

[@alexanderlinderson2655]

Man I've seen zalgradis 3 just about 20+ times I think! Absolute legend and inspiration. Was also on Al'Akir in vanilla, but on horde.

[@snuzzy4984]

The absolute GOAT. The legend speaks, a genuine pleasure, thank you Zal ❤️

[@serendipitygaming6785]

man these videos are soo good.. I love how even preach is simping for this guy because i totally understand where that is coming from.. I started playing wow at 13 years of age in TBC and my childhood Hero and the reason i started raiding as early as Karazhan back then was a guy called Zkygge from SK gaming and i remembering making a character on his server and whispering him that one day i would be as good as him. and i remember getting an answer like "Good luck :)" and now as i am playing TBC classic with a far more mature mindset i am actually having a blast and it makes me remember all the dumb things i did back then and that i can actually experience the game that i didnt quite understand back then because my english was always trash.

[@Navlelo33]

Absolutely pleasure to hear this interview with Zalgradis. He was the very first wow content maker i watched, and I am so glad that he might start streaming. Thank you Preach for this interview.

[@Trashloot]

Im kinda sad that this video has so few comments. This video is amazing and i hope you never stop making these. Oh and i really appreciate that you just let the discussion go wherever it was headed. You had some really amazing topics here. Loved it :3.

[@Eustres]

mental health is so important

[@yannis1982]

i remember when we were outside aq40 waiting for summons etc. and zalgradis was just chilling with us (horde) all the time:D damn those vanilla raiding days...

[@TheOdMan]

Ok, here we go, this is a true legend, for me anyway. (Not that the others in this series where not maybe, but I didn't really know much about them except their names)

[@benwaller9271]

Yeah its not a maybe. Rogerbrown is a legend of this game, as are many others in this series

[@Khiraen]

Al'Akir EU Ally gang! I was part of Pandion Knights for T1, did T2 with The Wyvern Kratos and after AQ joined Midnight Reveries for T3. Good times! I remember being in some of the bg premades and AV with Zal, great to hear he's still around. One of the best moments from Al'Akir: Crashing the server on AQ launch while we were all on mouted in a massive line (Ally left, Horde right) waiting for the gong to be hit and then relogging in to see the massive elites swatting everyone that was still in their loading screen unable to act.

[@Vilberg]

TWK hunter here, night elf by the name Oxygenre and played with the guild during T2 as well. I remember the AQ event well and I have so many screenshots from that day, as well as raid screenshots with all the TWK people. I still go through them from time to time. One of my earliest screenshot is of Zalgradis in his full T1 walking around SW:

What a throwback, miss those days! I also played a pally named Scorpion, me and Monkeybeer are still in touch these days but he didnt have time to play classic. Btw Preach, we also played together in Darkstorm and met in Manchester :)!

[@kryogengaming3772]

I think weapon names faded after Cata for me. After picking up Gurthalak Voice of the Deep, nothing else even came close to sticking in my memory. That was probably the most broken weapon but so fun that Blizzard ever released.

[@Sporky0]

Ahh good old days of seeing SOTG peeps afking in ironforge, Thinking "Damn, that guy is cool". Was nice to have some Alliance destroying the horde on my server, As every PvP I would play was always won by Horde majority of the time, except AV.

[@whereismybucket9680]

Zalgradis still plays in TBC although I don't see him online very often. You can find him in bloodfang EU

[@JDmix123]

Due to playing the game too much?

[@skerdoo523]

Zal seems like such a standup guy. Such as legend for us WoW nerds. As for the people who are online 23 hours out of the day -- cocaine/methamphetamine addiction is real. Thankfully I'm in recovery, but I've been there.

I remember that person trying to pretend to be Zalgradis. (I'm one of the original Immersion players, got recruited when MR and SotG merged. I'm Incarnia). I did have some interaction with that person, but, yeah, instantly noticed it was someone else. Quite unnerving though. Someone doing that. Especially since he wasn't even trying to excuse it either, when pointing out to him that I can tell he isn't Zal. Got slapped with an Ignore.

Sleeping 4 hours a night??? I'm nonfunctional if I sleep fewer than 7.

[@JDmix123]

Military sleeps 4 - 6 (if you’re lucky ) a night your body gets used to it

[@Telindra]

@@JDmix123 it really doesn't. It is highly damaging to both your body and brain to be sleep deprived, especially if it goes on for long periods of times. You can't avoid that effect on your wellbeing and health by getting your body "used to it". It doesn't work like that biologically. However, there are a genetic mutation, in some humans, which reduce the amount of sleep their body and brain needs to about 4-5h's a day. A regular adult need at least 7-8hours of quality sleep a day to function as intended, but those people only need about half of that for the same result.

[@Telindra]

@TheDanish Preach might be a person with the genetic mutation which enables him to function well on just 4hours of sleep. Where his brain manages to complete the cleaning and regenerative process in 4-5h's that otherwise takes 7-8h's for the majority of the human population.

[@JDmix123]

@@Telindra I don’t think it’s that bad I’m pretty sure for thousands of years we adapted and survived not getting 8 hours of sleep a night. Now it may be better and recommended but I don’t think only getting 4- 5 hours of sleep a night is going to be super detrimental once your body has adapted
