WoW Memories: The Molten Core - Episode 5

[@Tollerah93]

Madseason is easily the most underrated KZbinr when it comes to WoW content.

[@suk4ed]

means, no WOW - no MadSeason 😢

[@exet]

No he's a fucking liar. May 2005 beating guilds to rag wtf😊

[@madseasonshow]

Nonsensical rambling of days long past, Episode 5....enjoy! I was thinking of doing a BfA mount preview video next - let me know what you think.

[@СтефанСтаврев-е8и]

MadSeasonShow thats a good idea. Maybe after that u can make a new episode of Azeroth Arsenal (Atiesh pls)

[@madseasonshow]

I'll keep it in mind - the next one will probably be shadowmourne actually, but Atiesh is definitely on the list too.

[@alehzanderh]

pls no bfa videos, i cant watchthose :( And i cant skip your videos. Do not make me go trough it again!

[@shotokankun]

These videos are the reason I came back to WoW again for BFA, and my guild from vanilla is still there! I remember doing molten core as well, onyxia’s lair and naxxramas. I can never truly quit WoW. Just extended vacations but damn it, do I have so much fun in Azeroth!

[@aerodynamic6560]

Do eeeet

[@Hookokokkokoko]

"....we still play to this day." Awwww! I love this!

[@ThatGuyBill1985]

My ritual for each episode is I eat my lunch at work and when I'm done, I make a nice hot cup of coffee and sit down to a memory series video. Soon as that opening guitar hits while I'm holding onto a fresh cup of brew...I'm like...ahhhhhh.

[@pawelisecki6054]

I lay down with a bag and roll one before each episode, peace to you other route dweller aye

[@DotoutWoW]

High quality content.Deserves much more subscribers!

[@BestWafflesEUW]

Fo show

[@ysteinthinn887]

My guild also killled Ragnaros that way, After endless hours Of farming fire-resistance gear and trying to down him every week. This one night, we wiped again and again and people were tired and frustrated..we decided to Give it one more go. We did really Well, but then we looked like wiping again. I was the last man standing After the Sons killed the 39 others. Some thought I had too much fire-resistance but man was it useful finally👌🏻 I resisted his fire-attacks like a madman, and was trying to focus with 39 people yelling on team-speak.. «aim-shot him» «you can do it!» «pop a mana potion» And down he went, oh man..my ears from all the shouting and cheering..and i was literally shaking and had the rush Of my Life! And it felt so damn rewarding After all the hard work. Thanks ever so much for maling these great videos man, I really love them! Ziliana female NightElf SurvivalHunter from the guild Se7eN. Don’t remember all names, but here Are a few: Boutlair, Dizza, Slinky, Treana, Jericho, Avi, Pitchblackk, Lunel, Omniscient, SuperNova. Miss you tons guys

[@troplop4131]

"I just want to give a shout out to my friends in case they're watching" "then we had Los Los, he was alright. He tried I guess" haha I hope that guy is watching

[@Scorge120]

Hey Show! You should do a podcast like this. Your storytelling with the background music is so chill, I find myself rewatching all your videos while working or relaxing. Love your content.

[@aerodynamic6560]

You are bringing back the feeling of old KZbin for me, just someone who is passionate and very talented in story-telling/producing making something about one of their favorite subjects. So refreshing in the giant trend-circlejerk that the site has now become.

[@avikempler5867]

This is probably my favorite WoW KZbin series

[@lucassilverblade913]

As always, thoroughly thrilled and fulfilled in all the places ;) Thank you Show for another of THE BEST WOW CONTENT ON KZbin!!! Don't ever stop and always do what YOU want to do, as this is YOUR hobby...we just get to enjoy it to the max! :D

[@heligon2234]

Vanilla Private Server KZbinr: It is absolutely unacceptable that we have not gotten an update for classic yet! Mad Season: Hopefully we get an update soon :)

[@tehjamerz]

Unacceptable*

[@heligon2234]

tehjamez damn auto correct :/

[@Mrfniss]

That's just braindead alexcuckal

[@LuccianoNova]

It will probably come out in November

[@aldoard]

@@LuccianoNova the demo is.

[@Thyralon]

That "ooooooof" at the end was just perfect. I also really love your videos. Keep it up. It's nice to hear it from somebody else. I also started as a Paladin and switched to rogue in classic. It's nice to see someone with the same mindset :P

[@jackster006]

As a human rogue raider in Vanilla. This video was AMAZING! :( I miss those days in Molten Core.

[@jong2359]

Yeah, this video captured the memory perfectly. Night Elf Rogue here, but I loved these days. I loved tweaking down the build/gear and climbing my way to the top of the DPS charts where I earned the respect deserving of a 16 year old douche bag with basic theorycrafting ability.

[@lucianosimmons3003]

3 in Naxx and a 3x S1-s4 gladiator rogue here. Very well done video. I miss MC and BWL very much. Naxx was brutal. Getting 50-55 people down to a gladiator pvp lvl commitment to pve content is brutal. If it were a 5 man or 20 man dungeon it'd of been conquered much much easier... But that many people. Also the short time before BC upset me. I wish Naxx had a year to marinate. Great vid.

[@lucianosimmons3003]

PS. NS boots NEVER fucking drop.

[@Archaia24]

Still rewatching these in 2022…regardless of what the game is now, nothing can change the amazing stories and memories it gave us.

[@TheLilninja92]

Hope you get a chance to read this but I just want to say I love your videos no matter what they are and feel like you are a really underrated KZbinr, keep up the awesome work and much love from Australia!

[@madseasonshow]

Thanks for the kind words my friend. They keep me going! Glad you are enjoying the channel.

[@matthewcloyd3417]

At least you knew about classes when making your first character... I made an undead warrior because I didn't see the classes during the character creation screen. I thought you picked it later, like professions lol

[@TheHairline]

I absolutely love your choice of music every time that you make a video. The Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts tracks and covers always put a smile on my face. :)

[@jorgenamnum6481]

This series has given me a feeling i really needed being a new player thats really enjoying WoW, its rare to find something that captures the freshness im living this deep into the game lifespam and having this series has really helped me out. Thanks.

[@Jura740]

Ja Diggah komplette Gönnung auf aktiver Ehrenbruderbasis!

[@stevemcgillicuddy4289]

Great video Mad ... brings back memories of vanilla raiding! My most vivid in MC was our newly formed raiding guild had about 3 to 4 bosses down (I was a rogue also). Our raiding night fell on Valentine's Day, and my wife and I decided we would raid. The guild had something like 30 people show up, so we were short the full 40 but decided to give it a try. Four hours later we were still trying to clear Luci and we gave up for the night. It became known as the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in the guild.

[@madseasonshow]

Glad you liked it! Dang...4 hours - that's some dedication! We had a few of those nights as well for sure.

[@vivianmendespaioli7740]

Brings me so dear Memories. I'm att work right now, smiling to myself, just remembering them raids. Thanks!

[@faithgiant_Ps91]

"I didn't really pay attention to anyone under #4 since my damage meter didn't go down that far"....😂............classic

[@rileyk5228]

Though he's not wrong hahaha rogues were always up there

[@jamescapobianco907]

All the music in the series is incredible. Very well made.

[@D4V30]

From what I can tell, the music is guitar versions of various FInal fantasy songs.

[@sadtoast6122]

That lone hunter survived and killed ragnoros that's EPUC

[@Rubywing4]

Like the hero of a movie, coming to save the day when everyone else is down. XD

[@PootisPenserPow]

HMR

[@toohighstrung]

I think I like these throwbacks videos more than current stuff, so much story involved

[@rubenaello]

Love your videos man. Brings back so many flashbacks not only in game.

[@madseasonshow]

The good ol' days =) (although I still enjoy current quite a bit as well)

[@against_the_machine]

I feel like all these could be a series on Netflix. bravo

[@TheSharklionBeast]

I love your videos and your general demeanor. This series is one of my favourites and hearing you speak so fondly of your time in WoW is really nice to hear! Keep up the great work!

[@GarthV4nBell]

Dude I love listening to this series while I'm playing Vanilla. Thanks for making this dude!

[@peterrocket0204]

My favourite WoW youtuber, PEACE!!

[@lowgahn69]

I watched this while playing a rogue and it definitely boosted my spirit to grind.

[@chrisgwiazda1477]

I knew I wasn't imagining things! I could always hear some of the FFX music and just now noticed that you have a cover bands accoustic guitar cover in your video, and probably have had for several of your previous ones. It was driving me nuts trying to figure out if my brain just wanted to hear what it wanted to after having played through FFX just recently. Instantly got more love from this guy for including some music from my favourite game of all time!

[@mcdoomhammer1234]

Man I can't wait to see the TBC part of this series. I never hit max level during vanilla, so TBC is where most of my WoW nostalgia comes from.

[@theshaman415]

09:43 Can't wait for the news. Also can't wait for your Ony-BWL video

[@jameschristie5395]

I’m thinking of getting back into wow saw your channel few days ago and I’m hooked. Not a ounce of negativity in them. Keep em coming man

[@nazshak]

Thanks for sharing your awesome memories. Wish I could play original WoW back then in 2004-2005...

[@poulthomas469]

Man watching these makes me want to jump back into WoW, TBC at this point.

[@MrMarko9380]

I dunno what it is man, but your videos are borderline therapeutic.

[@hornsfanforlife17]

One of my favorite series on KZbin ever! You are awesome! Can't wait for the next one!

[@zextax2680]

man everytime i hear that Darnassus music it take me back to the good old days like 10 years ago

[@1Makan2]

This is getting me through the final hours at work, thanks for being you and doing what you do!

[@madseasonshow]

Thanks for watching my friend, and enjoy your weekend!

[@tigzee27]

Hearing the introduction to every video and feeling totally relaxed 😍

[@puffthemagicdaddy5761]

Really nice walk down memory lane. Looking forward to seeing everyone on classic servers.

[@BitterComments]

Really enjoying these man. Love the cinematic style you've woven in with pans and zooms and whatnot!

[@azzurrin889]

Brings back some old memories :'(

[@sionhadar791]

Yessss!!! I was waiting for this video/part of your WoW memories soooo much! Keep up the grate work man! I love your style and the attention you put into your videos!

[@madseasonshow]

Enjoy Sion!

[@sionhadar791]

MadSeasonShow btw, when/will you make a video of your WoW memories where you get to do/get into Naxx 40?

[@TonyEccles]

I follow a whole bunch of KZbinrs but these videos are by far my favourites! :)

[@Blitsjard1]

I love these kind of videos.. So many memories.. Thanks for helping reminding me to all of these awesome stuff

[@madseasonshow]

Thanks for watching them! I'm glad I'm able to stir up a bit of nostalgia

[@unnarpetursson4482]

Been watching your videos for a long time now and just wanted to thank you for great content! I am an oldschool wow player and your stories always bring back good memories. Keep up the good work :)

[@justincredible2640]

So many memories. MC was so fun, simply because it was the first of its kind. Walking into the raid and seeing 40 people launching spells and arrows at two molten giants was incredibly awe-inspiring and epic feeling. Got me hooked on raiding for the entirety of vanilla. Played hunter back then and really pushed the dps thanks to threatmeters and being ahead of the game as far as being fully enchanted and coming with mana pots and buffs. Was always able to finish 2nd in dps... could never catch our top rogue though... Joemuggz. That guy was a beast!

[@Philieylol]

I always like your videos before I see them because I know im gonna enjoy them

[@oskarstrom4034]

Subbed. I was horde and didn't raid much, but your vids hit the nostalgia spot for me. Awesome stuff man - keep it up!

[@morganmedrano920]

I need the next video in this series.... I'm on the edge of my seat....

[@NotKoyama]

More please

[@visse3615]

You man, you are the best! Just listening to your story reminded me of my childhood when I played wow back in burning crusade. And thanks to that, I now want to make a new character and play it without experience heirlooms at least. Thanks a lot! You are doing great job with the videos! :)

[@peterfrank1105]

started in europe in 2005, main character elf hunter, i remember sitting in the toilet and reading the manual how searching for flowers works. Your memories seem like my wow story and today, over 15 years later, I still play my elf hunter from 2005. the snowballs ......... we were then forbidden to use them in the raid and yes, I am also missing a hard drive or two with pictures from back then ..... a shame.

[@paulscermerhorn6928]

I was in cargath I was starkhorn to when I was finally done I was a level 90 human pally DPS your utube Vids Are awesome thank you they bring back great times ty again madseason

[@matschbanane2843]

Every time I watched your videos, I want to play wow again. You make great vids.

[@MagwellTX]

Great trip down memory lane.

[@Ochatach]

Thank you Madseason, good video as usual, love these oldtime memories

[@rail2railnose2tail]

brings back memoriesssss thanks madseason!!

[@muddyboots7753]

your camera shot/reenactment for the video editing is amazing.

[@eirikrhernandez8860]

I'm loving those "unregistered hypercam" and "fraps" texts.

[@Emsix]

Your voice is really calming and soothing.

[@michaelchoi2525]

“On the last episode of Madseason Ball Z” I chocked on my air

[@eisi800]

I recently started watching your videos and I have to say i really enjoy them. Only in the last few weeks i got really into WoW and active playing after years of dowloading and trying the trial version again and again. I would have probably startet a few months before Cataclysm, if I had the money or, for the matter of fact, a PC. My only tast of it back then was when I would visit a friend who played actively and he would let me create a character and run around and try it out a bit. But now that I can play, your videos only made me more excited, especially for Classic WoW (whenever it comes out), so I can experience the olden days myself. Especially the leveling system, the hardcore aspects and the community seem interesting to me. So thank you for for awakening this excitement for a game I was already pretty excited about. (This kind of excitement didnt happen in a long while btw) P.S.: That slowed down Roblox oof always catches me off guard and gives me a good laugh.

[@h.b.6015]

Your videos are simply great!

[@FANTAVISION]

I remember some things from when I started. Mostly played private servers because I couldn't afford the monthly payment. However, I can't wait to make new memories in WoW classic!

[@scienz0220]

I remember the first steps into molten core like it was yesterday. Best individual moment tied with epic paladin mount.

[@KevinG9012]

I don't play WoW, never have. I love your content though. I'm not sure why, I've been watching a ton of videos and find them fascinating. I also love FFX and this music was fantastic. Thanks for the effort!

[@Wyglafff]

I love this series. Keep up the good work !

[@Rykurex]

Your videos are perfect for just sitting back and relaxing to, never change your style (Y)

[@WhyAreAllNamesTaken1]

Love the background music as always

[@lucianosimmons3003]

Absolutely OVE the FFVIII Balamb Garden soundtrack. So gorgeous! G Another great vid. Soothing ASMR voice :)

[@mrgetrext297]

Loving this series so far keep up the great work :)

[@bensterWasHere]

Man I don't even play WoW but I still love your videos

[@yacdj]

Main rogue here who never manage to secure a place in a raid because of being in a small guild and the large rogue population too. So I dedicated myself to pvp after I changed from Alliance to Horde ( less Horde players on my Realm so faster BGs queue)... Got to rank 8 if I remember well (legionnaire grade). I enjoyed pvp a lot but I'm still frustrated to never had the chance to raid before BC. Love your videos, some much memories are poppin up thank to you :)

[@javiersaenz1926]

Bravo! Awsome series! I travelled back in time with these videos. Great channel! Keep going, buddy!

[@argumentfromignorance2410]

I discovered your channel only a few days ago and binge watched tens of videos already. Amazing content, very good voice and, above all, a true love for the game through both the glorious and less glorious aspects. I was really not considering playing Classic but I guess I can't resist now... If you are looking for content idea, there is an area that you briefly mention in this video and that I have amazing memories about: dungeons stealth runs. I was the rogue officer in my guild and it was my duty to organize them but I'm not sure I remember them all. There was this fire guy in BRD indeed and I'm pretty sure that there was one in the Right section of Dire Maul (the one with satyrs and imps). That run required at least one Druid for tanking and maybe another one for healing. Was there any others ? Solo stealth runs were also my favorite occupation and here is what I remember: LBRS: jumping down right to the lower orc section to farm a alchemy recipe (fire potion of some sort) or farming the occasional orc and his Arcanite Reaper recipe. It was really tough even with decent stuff and required patience and meticulous execution. Loved it. I could also write a story about how trying to acquire the weapon set by soloing the rare Elite Spider between the spider boss and the Ogre platform took me 6 months, only to realize in my first PvP duel that I had misunderstood the proc and that it was useless for the purpose I had in mind :D (6 months because of all the strategies I had to try with respect to potions, picking engineering to make other tests but also because Blizz accidentally took this mob out by mistake for several weeks. All in all, I'm not sure I'd be interested in raiding again but this solo rogue action is probably what I miss the most. Anyone has solo rogue memories ? There was a mini-boss in BRD guarded by 3 succubus next to the arena spectators that looted a recipe. There was of course the Barman's shanker and I have vague memories of a tricky one with an elite whose location was indicated by cleaning a Troll room up somewhere and reading something on the wall. I also remember a rare humanoid ghost in Stratholme that dropped something cosmetic I believe. The guy had crazy dodge. (Edit: Hearthsinger Forrester looting the Piccolo of Flaming Fire, the toy that made people dance!!!)

[@Sponkelbop]

Good videos as always. Keep them coming!

[@Vaxilion]

This series is awesome.

[@lucianosimmons3003]

A great stroll down memory lane for those of us that did all this (3 down in Naxx) that can no longer do this reasonably in life any longer. If I could spare 80 hrs a week I'd invest them into physics. But this is fun to revisit. Ty. I have a stockholme like love for this Nazi experiment game lol. Very fun. But as addicting as heroine and methadone, cigs, coke, alcohol, sugar etc... (I know all including wow to equally addicting lvls ... And beat them all). Wow is the only addiction I've beaten that I actually recall fondly and emotionally miss. Ty for this really well done vid. Especially from a Naxx/3x gladiator rogue. Well done. I was the guy from southpark... Pissing in bottles, letting my kitchen burn to continue a battle, playing 90 hrs a week.

[@kev1734]

You many have seen a few of my comments pop up (or not) but I'm subbing now man :) You're so humble, peaceful and kind!

[@DiscoFinalBoss]

Digging the trip down memory lane. Looking forward to the next episode of MADSEASONBALL Z!

[@vinerpanoramic]

Loving the Mario music in the background. Nice video once again my man.

[@urban.drooid71]

thank you so much for sharing your memories in such an entertaining and informative way. and of course rekindling fond memories. melee in, melee out. ;)

[@droptheshiv4796]

listening to your voice when im high is so so soothing...

[@twistidtimmer]

hahahaha I smoke when I watch his stuff. High right now reading comments .

[@PLANETNAMIC]

[@charzard6004]

[@sorakume21]

God damn I love this series haha, you have quite the soothing voice my friend!

[@imraduin]

The best series you've ever made imo 😁

[@gregersen1312]

Thanks, man i really like this series

[@lightheal]

i don't play WoW, and don't have much interest in MMOs besides FFXIV, but listening to your stories is so soothing to my anxiety and are very interesting and sweet!

[@one_eyeddd473]

Lol I love the recreation of the cinematic with the hunter n bear at Iron forge

[@Spinexus]

I´m super hyped to go back to MC when WoW Classic comes out

[@manaeth]

when boss in interview asks you about your personal achievments, and you say you cleared molten core as human rogue :D

[@brandonphillips7657]

No offense to any of the other wow KZbinrs, but this dude has become my favorite. The corny jokes somehow get me. EVERY. SINGLE. DAMN. TIME.

[@user-lc5bu9bm7v]

2022 coming back to this little series

[@Lunareste]

Your stories have been so incredible and nostalgic for me, but can I just say that your music choices have been INCREDIBLE? I recognize all of the songs so far, including some of the remixes, but I'd like to know where you got the Final Fantasy Macalania Woods and Fisherman's Horizon guitar songs from.

[@Admiralkirk95]

That one hunter, who defeated Ragnoros, he might be proud of that win, but he has to live with the fact he survived and all his friends died around him. He was the only one to walk out of that place alive.... it will be both his crowning moment and most haunting moment in his life. Lol, I also kinda hope he got dibs on all of the loot from ragnoros.

[@dragline1093]

I remember the main strat for the Arcane Bomb boss Shazzrah was that everyone had to use their ranged weapons to DPS him down, and stay spread out so when he blinked to you it would minimize damage. I was playing a rogue at this time, and got bored using my ranged weapon. I farmed a ton of arcane resist gear, so I was the only one aside from the main tank that was allowed to melee dps him. Just 1 rogue in melee made that fight like 20% easier, and faster

[@uniformtacos9368]

Keep the stories coming
