The Trials of Arathi Basin - Gorak's Guide to Classic WoW, Episode 13 (WoW Machinima)

Arathi Basin - the bane of well-laid plans everywhere!
Arathi Basin finally launched in Classic WoW a few weeks ago, and I wanted to commemorate that occasion! Whether you're a warrior charging forward, a paladin who heals their friends in the thick of combat, or you just really don't feel like capturing Stables, Arathi Basin is the place for you!
This video took a massive amount of time due to unforeseen technical issues, which is a real shame. I hope the video does well now that it's out! Do you have any fond memories of Arathi Basin? Leave a comment below! :)

BG Leader is quickly becoming my favorite in the series

[@goraksguide]

I've named him Posterion! :) And I like him too! :D

[@Marshal_Dunnik]

Speaking as a former vanilla BGL, it’s a disturbingly accurate portrayal

[@everbard3071]

Best part is the Tauren’s expression when his entire team is auto-running into the gate.

[@IvikNier]

I don't understand why this isn't popular yet. This is so freaking good.

[@goraksguide]

Fingers crossed that more people will discover the channel soon! :)

[@u.b.5366]

It's just as good as Captain Grim and Captain Grim videos reach 200.000+ clicks.

[@TheDyland0g]

i was wondering the same lol, this is AWESOME. Will do my best to share this masterpiece amongst my friends !!

[@johncraigs7921]

@@goraksguide I found your vids by chance. No regrets

[@goraksguide]

@@johncraigs7921 Glad to have you here :)

[@oliverwilhelm6171]

The evil grins that the undead make are just so... perfect. "How I Feel When I Play Undead".

[@rVesperialGaming]

Same here "Power to the Forsaken"

[@MrCocomeco]

and be the most toxic in chat xD

[@Stormsong93]

The priest's finger motion walking the human off LM. The rogue's evil grin as he's capping the LM flag. The "HI THERE!". The overreacting BG leader. The smoll, alpha gnome vs the big, beta tauren etc. etc. all of it is so good. I was laughing and tearing up throughout the whole video. You're my favourite classic wow creator!

[@KingLich451]

@@blargblarg-jargon9607 did you cum?

[@StainderFin]

what you think Taurens can be now as rogue class? very recently added in live wow no need to buy Dragonflight for it all pre-patch DF content included Shadowlands lisence you can play new dragon race and class still in SL pass too!

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

and seconds that... gave me some good teary memory laughs specially of the ones that took ther 'roles' in bg a bit to seriously vs those that just organically worked with the flow of it ^^

[@dracony7649]

1:40 Hahahaha The way the Undead move his fingers to make him jump LOL

[@goraksguide]

Hope you like this one guys - took a looong time, but on the flipside, it's the longest Gorak video yet! :) If you want to help out, then please like or comment, or share the video around! :) I've included a Patreon-link in the video description, where I plan to post behind-the-scenes stuff and so on - don't worry, it'll all be free! :) Do you have any fun Arathi Basin memories? Share them below! Stay safe everyone!

[@molin1]

I may have bailed on Classic, but I will never bail on comedy gold. Genuis as always.

[@goraksguide]

Thanks for the comment mate! :) Glad you like it!

[@markocugy2715]

that dwarf on ST is the best ever

[@abardill]

The quivering lip on the BG leader is a brilliant touch

[@sephiose]

Got a good laugh out of the BG leader in the beginning making a return. Nice work as usual on the animations!

[@goraksguide]

I really like him too ^^ His name is Posterion, btw!

[@ronansullivan432]

2:34 the rogue has done it from behind!

[@carolinehaf21]

The undead finger walking and then the alliance majestic leaping pose off the cliff has me in hysterics. Granted its 230am but IT IS EVERYTHING!

[@karthok]

Best one so far. I'm really getting invested in Battleground Leader. (Posterion is a perfect name) I really hope he stays as a recurring character.

[@goraksguide]

Thanks for the nice comment - it was a lot of work, so I'm glad you liked it! :) If I have more ideas for him, I'll definitely include him!

[@michaelhowry8939]

Plenty of BG horror stories out there, plenty of good material to work with

[@Orbert]

“Hi there.” lmao

[@dylunr3143]

This is it. This is the peak of Classic Machinima.... I love it!

[@goraksguide]

:D Glad you like it dylun!

[@WysteriaASMR]

BG leader:*has diverse plan* Every Alliance BG:fight in the middle, got it!

[@hrobertb]

Without any exaggeration this is literally some of the best content on youtube.

[@halason1]

the paladin bubble was so spot on

[@fatpanda9761]

Lost it at the undead priests mind-control at LM. Great work!

[@harrisonbergeron8562]

That bouncing Paladin has me dying!!

[@KiyokaMakibi]

Best part was the mind control :D Thank you for making this! Certainly helps in these trying times.

[@goraksguide]

Hope it made you smile! :) Stay safe!

[@rVesperialGaming]

Lol that Undead Rogue smirk face hahahaha! Priceless.

[@Strausin]

OMG the Mind Control is just too perfect, the walking fingers -- Pure Gold! Followed by the rogue bomb

[@jeminycricket4737]

I love your videos, the animation is as on-point as the humor is!! I absolutely adore these pvp videos especially, the alterac valley and this one had me in stitches!!

[@drypoison]

how is every episode so fucking amazing

[@goraksguide]

:D Thanks a lot! :) Glad you like them!

[@orsmail1757]

I really got invested into this bg lol, thank you for the video! Laughed and cried

[@Tyrin_Wolfinzar]

I just found these and omg are they hilarious. Top notch stuff Gorak.

[@noobkaka567]

That Rogue night elf Battleground "leader" was so me during vanilla BG's. Oh my god the amount of idiots in BG's.

[@hassanbakhsh2440]

Your animation is gold. Best face expression. Best model twiking. Best funny yet realistic scenario. And best use of sounds!

[@AcktongueBaby]

This videos are a notch above the normal WoW machinima.

[@Masterwar15]

I love exploding backstab undead rogues trope in Classic Machinimas.

[@wes8382]

The mind controlled jump off the cliff has me in tears from laughing so hard. Great videos!

[@AcousticMongoose]

Awesome work! The facial expressions and other character animations have a lot of personality, and I really appreciate the cartoonish quality. I can’t imagine how long this must have taken.

[@spicylemons490]

Bro the expressions just seem to get better every time! The way everyone’s faces shift and stretch to perfectly fit what you want them to convey is amazing work! Although nine times out of ten ally is pre-made groups all chilling in discord lol. I’d love to see you touch on that aspect a bit in one of your pvp videos!

[@ditzydoodle8381]

It's a crime this isn't getting more views; I always share with whom I can cause the animations are just so perfect. xD Always gives me a good laugh.

[@goraksguide]

Thanks so much

[@ShaunsShitposts]

These videos are criminally underrated. I fucking love them

[@gareth3437]

The attention to detail is astounding ❤

[@SM-vm6xr]

OMG! This was terrifically hilarious. The sweating, hastened gnome & sudden undead rogue appearance made me laugh my lungs out. This is by far the best BG video I've seen. 😂😂😍

[@TheVandush]

Smug forsakens may be my most favorite thing ever lol

[@Taigha]

This is so good! Love it!!!

[@goraksguide]

Thank you! :)

[@aphox3]

"HI THERE" FUCKING KILLED ME

[@tiagotome7201]

so much talent man, keep it up!

[@goraksguide]

Thanks so much! :)

[@chublonsky]

These are so insanely good, never stop

[@Surf390]

Another masterpiece

[@goraksguide]

Thank you! ^^

[@diogobarbosa2001]

This is just amazing, keep up the good content man

[@thenerdbeast7375]

In the end Alliance won that BG, because Horde were to busy watching the chicken fight to defend.

[@EmpressOfTatertot]

The paladin bouncing with his bubble after being yeet off of LM had my dying over here xDD

[@mattwo7]

2:10 Now I kind of want to see a bubbled pally rolling around like Sonic the Hedgehog lol

[@Bollibompa]

These are so extremely funny and on point. I don't understand why they didn't go viral.

[@huettenleben94]

Loving your show man!

[@mirnoyevolkodav8036]

Always a pleasure to see you on r/wow

[@AlphaCollectorCZ]

Holy shit, this is the best video I've seen in a looong time! :D

[@vaneth4877]

The animations are amazing, the dive off the edge etc. amazing work. Better than the real thing :D

[@b-ni5ec]

This is the best series ever

[@AbigatorM]

2:33 legit scared me :D i was watching while gaming with headphones on.

[@cancerino666]

No one protecting stables unless I did is giving me flashbacks

[@DrakeLord213]

Running through all your vids because the bald man viewed it, but also because it's genuinely awesome. I have only vague memories of vanilla WoW, as I was very young at the time, my most significant time spent with the game was in Wrath. Even with my little knowledge, I can *feel* the vibe of vanilla through this haha. Great stuff.

[@asagihakurei7292]

hahaha, 1:43 best part rememeber me when i did exactly the same to a Draenai in another map, make them jump to their death

[@Carpatouille]

I love how despite all the crazy and numerous changes there were not only in PvP, or BGs but also in the game and the people playing it, some things are still the same 20 years later

[@CedricDur]

That... priest... moment... I LAUGHED!

[@0That_Guy0]

Love this series, they're awesome!

[@ExelArts]

Poor night elf. So great to see another video

[@smasmac]

Probably my 20th+ time revisiting this video and I still crack up at the priest doing the run animation with his fingers during the mc scene. Also a fan of posterion.

[@goraksguide]

Glad to hear it! :D Thank you!

[@aazzeeddssqqqqsszzaa2409]

I slry hope this guy will get 100K sub in few months. His videos are like Mister bean = You don't have to understand English/spanish/french to enjoy it!

[@Anaris10]

Far and away my favorite BG!.

[@doubleeeeeee]

you are incredibly talented man

[@justwalkaway9915]

This is quality right here. Subbed.

[@goraksguide]

Welcome aboard! :)

[@Sparhod]

I hope you will use the Forsaken priest and especially the rogue again in the future. Especially the rogue's grin is great.

[@TurborTV]

This is the BEST series!

[@robertAnthonyColon]

This was really good.

[@pandaboobearington8463]

I laughed so hard. 💙 Loved it when the human fell on top of the gnome! One day you should somehow add a shaman or druid blasting a whole group of them off of the lumber mill cliff. :3 maybe even in Eye of the Storm. XD

[@pandaboobearington8463]

Maybe even later. I don't remember exactly when.

[@slourpis]

Keep up the great work!

[@Shub-Nagruth]

2:34 "Hi there, would you like to signed my petition ?"

Quality video as always!

3:37 rogue: thanks.

[@user-nb7co9hs3g]

"hu hurr" the dwarf hahahaha xD

[@FoxFireStorm]

The Priest cracked me up, cause it is so true. I-- can't deny how many times I've done that exact thing on my Bubble Priest.

[@octapusxft]

That UD priest was so perfect!

[@NPEVIE]

Loved it!!!!! 😁

[@Garadares]

I love your videos!

[@trogdorburninating]

1:12 OMG on the right is the boomkin wielding sulfuras from Myndflame's Illegal Danish 2!!!!!

good eyes lol

[@Numeonorean987]

I cried laughing at this, amazing work

[@dadbot7360]

Outstanding!

[@Ravenaxis]

I love the two shirtless guys with admiral hat fighting each other with kicks xD

[@goraksguide]

Thanks! They've padded out a few videos in the back at this point ^^

[@Ravenaxis]

@@goraksguide They made me think about that popular scene in Predator between Arnol Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers shaking hands and showing off biceps ;D

[@Maddenzie]

a masterpiece!

[@samueldebeer2306]

The battleground leader is amazing

[@Melchizedek19]

Horde before start: Huuuu huuu huhu huahhh hu hu huuu 😅

[@GengarJ]

That's exactly what I do when the battle is about to begin what the horde did

[@MiceDnP]

3:25 9/10 times you see an undead rogue jumping on you in pvp gear you know you’re dead 😅

[@lorrieruff4402]

LOL got to love these.

[@0Wayland]

Top tier animations!

[@Ocyla]

Man. it's like you've been watching all my AB's. That flag cap hurt to watch it's so true lol

[@metalaxl]

fantastic

[@rashidalbishri7181]

Just noticed BOOMKIN WITH HAND OF RAGNOROUSE

[@Berkay-xl4hu]

Amazing

[@Valdrakken]

lol these videos are adorable love them

[@user-zm4th9xr3b]

BG leader was literally me whenever I was randomly assigned the name, lol.

[@dynamikfalco607]

This is best strategy. Bs>Lm>st/farm>Mn. Bs where from any attack at the other camps, can bee done quick and easy. Lm is a high ground. Its gives a quick way to bs, by using levitation or parachut. St and farm its depends of faction. Mine... Just for extra points, no strategy for it.
