The Ballad of the Noob - World of Warcraft machinima

[@PS-my6tu]

It’s 2019 and i feel nostalgic 😊 this never gets old

[@omnitheman9254]

it's now 2022 and I haven't listened to this song since 2008, feels good man!

[@1000Gamernerd]

Hello from 2022. and I watched this when it first appeared.

[@JamesKox]

2023, checked, confirmed, over

[@LolaGoddamnit]

2024 checkin in

[@DeadintheDark]

Years... I've searched for this video for years! I'm so unbelievably happy I've finally found it!!

[@derekarnold2077]

A timeless classic! We're only a few months away from having Blizzard release Classic Warcraft, and now somehow all this old machinima becomes relevant again.

[@Libelula20cr]

totally agree!!

[@ZeranZeran]

aaaaaaand Blizzard ruined it. God I miss when that company was ran by people who enjoyed the games they make. Bobby Kotick needs to be forced out.

[@Thomi92]

I remember this video from long ago... i think it won the 2006 or so xfire video contest. makes me happy to see it again :)

[@xerilaun]

time to see it again a decade later!

[@synapfluxnln9317]

This video just never gets old!

[@pgc4sean]

Agreed

[@FiendMatadorSlayerOfNoobs]

But we sure do, holy crap! >_

[@youngcracker9517]

moral of the story... never get married

[@HacksignKT]

yup.

[@ToaMeikhaal]

REAL moral of the story... get married and kick WoW out of your life!! :)

[@HacksignKT]

I did just that, I started wow back in 2006, DEC 11th 3 days after this video was made; but as the years rolled on and the friends stopped playing I called it quits last year on dec 26th? But it was a fun run. Anyways take care Toa.

[@LOLMexikanoLOL]

Yup

[@macrons593]

@@ToaMeikhaal fuck that, kick wow out but don't get married

[@Turbomonkey882]

Legend has it that to this very day, that noob still wanders duskwood, looking to take on more level 60s in his uber leet gear.

[@TheReaverOfDarkness]

I bet he's still level 1.

[@DawnChatman]

6 Days until CLASSIC launches! Must re-watch all this old and amazing WoW videos!

[@Libelula20cr]

2019 and this noob is still a legend !

[@Gihipoxu]

This hits me in the feels when I listen to it again. First WoW video I ever watched, all those years ago.

[@LoremasterYnTaris]

+Gihipoxu Same here, mate. Good times...

[@MusicFlowAI]

I never get tired of this video! Any1 here from classic? :D

[@ianjhobbies]

The memories are flooding back, get back to classic :)

[@grandadmiralm]

Still loving this video years later. A+ job :)

[@sonicsega555]

Criminally underrated channel and video.

[@kennta340]

Still coming back to this video after all these years.. I feel so old 😂

[@Pumkin932]

Takes me back. Another classic WoW machinima that cheers me up in the monotonous adult life I live these days.

[@JoLiKMC]

Ah man! This takes me back to the good ol' days of _World of Warcraft_... Fond memories of bygone days, I tell you what. I'm glad has been in my favorites for years.

[@OneWorldHistory]

Winner, best music/dance film, Blizzard/Xfire summer movie contest '06. Took me over an hour to find this! oh man.... finally! (forgot the name!) There is a lot of great old WoW songs, but I have always felt this one is the best. I'm still waiting for that day when I'm sitting in a bar.. and someone does a cover of this. I and many 'old folk' will be laughing and crying.

[@Leavon]

December 2024 and still funny as hell.

[@jseymour84]

2017 and still listening to this... Going to say that this has stood the test of time better than most pop songs have

[@trinamanzer]

To take a Johnny Cash song and make this is just epic. Way to go. And i remember these days, sure do miss em. Just came back to wow and must say i miss Vanilla

[@MisterPowerGaming]

Look up Feenix WoW its a great Vanilla Private server

[@weeklyrush6955]

Mister Power No, it fucking sucks and it's so buggy!! Just wait for warlords of Draenor expansion..

[@MisterPowerGaming]

When I played it wasnt buggy at all and WoD isnt going to be anything like vanilla...

[@cousinitt98]

Mister Power no but it's close enough game play wise to help you remember I hope they put experience back to vanilla have have a level 60 take you to out land boom instant 40

[@macrons593]

@@weeklyrush6955 Bet you feel pretty stupid now, eh?

[@michellegray134]

I still have it on my faves.. still love it. and still play wow.

[@Ultimus31]

Ah, this is a definite classic.

[@katet_33]

This little video still makes me smile all these years later

[@desolare3316]

This goes hand in hand with my selected Christmas tunes such as 'Christmas time in Dun Morogh'. It's not festive without my WoW tunes.

[@stephanpedersen5157]

Still the best World of Warcraft machinima around:-)

[@AryaFi]

2024, and yeah, it never gets old 😅

[@joshuacadle7856]

Back in early wow, if I remember correctly for a short time there undead a and only undead a could speak to the alliance.

[@Pharaohred]

i didnt play back then, could a lvl one even ride a horse?

[@Deltobbi]

+Archlight Nah but you couldn't do a lot of what this video shows. Mounts back in the old days were level 40 for the 60% speed one and level 60 for the 100% speed (now they are lvl 20 and 40). They also cost considerably more money for the riding skill. Think it was 100 gold for the lvl 40 mount and 1000g for the lvl 60, which in WoW now, isn't much money but back then 1000g was a lot of cash. It'd take you a good bit of time after hitting the level cap (60 back then) to save up the 1000 for your 100% speed mount.

[@dreadrek85]

Started leveling my void elf in Duskwood, and even though I haven't heard this song in 11 years it was stuck in my head the entire time. Had to come back to watch this masterpiece again!

[@PewMeowPaw]

damn, still hits the memory spot

[@lacdaemon6519]

2022 still watching!

[@Iggypox]

HIS EX WIFE KILLED HIM, NOT THE NOOB

[@sniffle6734]

I like how many peeps write something stupid like: OH HES LVL 1 NUUB HE CANT MOUNT, FAAAAAKE!!!!11 :P

[@MinecraftPlanetChan]

8 years later and people still dont get it

[@RealLoki]

ikr, ~tries to be clever~ :P

[@cosmicdebris6122]

Despite all these years it takes me back ! (Best Johnny Cash impersonation ever ! :p) Thanks always, again and again so much !

[@Shutterbun4]

One of the all time greats. I have to watch it every year or so, and it never gets old.

[@Shutterbun4]

And I'm back here 11 years later, watching it again!

[@KaitoNara]

Lyrics :) Once upon a time in the early mornin’ In the town of Northshire a noob was born And he yawned and stretched and blinked the mornin’ light And he sawed and see’d him standing right there With a yellow exclamation parked over his hair So he asked that fella’ just what there was around to find Well the noob was ordered to kill some kobold So he ran right over and did what he’s told And by the time it was over that noob was feelin’ dumb “I’m way too uber for the likes of this place” he said “I think it’s time to pick up the pace” So he boldly left town even though he was only level one He walked through the fields and he crossed the river Until he entered a place that made most noobs shiver It was Duskwood, where the undead walk the land Well the trees were scary and so was the grass But the noob saw somebody riding up the path So he put out an arm and waved one noobish hand When the rider got closer the noob could see He had just hailed a Horde who was level sixty And not only that he was flagged for PVP Well most noobs would have turned and run But that noob decided to do something dumb He stood in the road and gave the Horde some grief At first the Horde was a little surprised By the noob who obviously wanted to die But he laughed so hard he even shed some tears “Hey this guy’s got a certain appeal” “So I’ll tell you what noob I’ll make you a deal” “You beat me, and I’ll give you all my gear” So the noob got out his little short sword And started to whack away at the horde Who just stood there laughing his butt off in the road “I’ll let him wail on me for a while” Though the Horde to himself, as he smiled “And then BAM! It will all be over for that choob” Now about this time, in real life That Horde got a phone call from his ex-wife He wondered if he should answer the phone or stay “Well that noob won’t kill me in million years” “So if I wait a few minutes, who cares” And he got up to get the phone and went AFK But that little noob, well he hacked and slashed As if every stroke was burning in cash And very slowly, he withered away that horde’s HP And the Horde’s ex kept him on the phone Much longer than he though he’d be gone And when he finally hung up, it felt like an hour or three. Well the Horde finally got himself back to the screen And what he saw there nearly made him scream! That noob had widdled his hitpoints down to eight The Horde flew to the keyboard to lift his mace But that noob let fly one right to the face And that Horde crashed to the ground… one second too late Well the Horde knew that he’d been beat He cleared his throat and looked down at his feet And the noob, he danced around like he’d gone mad And the Horde said, “well I’m a guy of my word” “So here’s all my stuff although you look absurd” And he handed that noob every last little thing he had The noob rode away with all of his prizes While the Horde just sat there and cried out his eyes At this point my tale is nearly done In Azeroth, they still tell the story Of the noob that left town, looking for glory And took on a level sixty… and won….

[@alexpopa4978]

Sounds a lot like A Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash. I prefer the WoW version though

[@jedichewy1]

bet that noob jumped 20 lvls in one fight wish we could do that now

[@nicholasrosberg1595]

40* lvls back then dude

[@maciejemail3959]

Nicholas Rosberg Like now, there was no exp for killing players back then.

[@danielshort118]

level difference is too high for him to even hit

[@timhaugen6410]

Beautifully done and, if there's an achievement for multi-level nostalgia, GRATZ!

[@Anniebmice]

What a great video!! Nice job!! Very entertaining and fun to watch!!

[@FatGuyEngineer]

Wrath of the Lich King were the best years of WoW

[@type1_myst403]

who misses old wow?

[@HacksignKT]

yes

[@noisyboy900]

The level 60 is a noob for not having the (second wind) perk

[@Duomaxwell69]

OMG they had no perk back then, we are talking about the good WoW times not the shit u play today.

This comment made me laugh :D

[@CodedLockFilms]

This was pretty great, man.

[@aribethcoronet]

This is made of awesome. Well done! :) x

[@literallyunfunny]

It's really weird hearing this because I had this song on an mp3 player, and the intro song to Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles was set to play after it. When the video ended, I half-expected the strum of the stringed instrument at the beginning of the FFCC intro to play.

[@mariodjustgames]

December 2023, and I still love it like the first day

[@MrNightgale]

The best line in the song "And waved his nubbish hand" xD I always start to laugh when I hear that!
