[@vayne6715]

Yeah I definitely want to hear the whole story of the cursed blood incident

[@jizzyb76]

100%

[@rj28sc]

I remember it. I was a player during that. So TL:DR version is people originally thought it was an in game event and people really enjoyed it till it got way out of control. Now a lot of healers tried to cure it but npc contacted it and made it difficult to do so. The biggest spreader was Hunter's pets (the reason pets can't be infected anymore), and it's one of the reasons Hunters were reviled.

[@eliotshoffner]

Yes please

[@richardekdahl7804]

I think the game theorist made a really good video about it like whent really in depth

[@IanICee]

Same

[@GardinerAlan]

Another vote for Adam's WHO WoW cursed blood video

[@InForObservation]

I'd absolutely want to see a corrupted blood video from Clery. Also, Amy has been a great addition to the channel. Well done to whoever made the decision to bring her on.

[@quickdraw_monkeh2209]

We need this video on the Warcraft Pandemic

[@archangel2015]

Adam do the crupted blood story I think it would intresting.

[@bencampbell198]

We need to hear the full Warcraft pandemic story, please

[@craigferguson3701]

Cursed Blood from WoW, Adam please cover this in full

[@timmis15]

[@metalnerd3855]

Would love to see a bigger video on Warcraft Pandemic.

[@Live4Freedom23]

Adam, please do a video on the Cursed Blood from WOW.

[@luciferpetrenkoff5040]

Release the What culture cut

[@jonwolf1ify]

The animal crossing bit also shed some light on why the Tanooki suit pick up in Mario is a leaf. The more you know.

[@thembill8246]

Same.

[@movraptor]

I really thought they would mention that but I guess it slipped their minds

[@rhpiggy123]

Not forgetting the animal rights group PETA went to sue Nintendo about Mario wearing a Tanuki skin

[@thembill8246]

@@rhpiggy123 yeah but PETA is a joke themselves. They claim to care about animals and they run kill shelters

[@elcourier]

I don't care about WoW but the cursed blood incident being a case study for how to deal with covid19 is interesting af. Bring it on!

[@ClaireM0706]

Definitely need a video on WHO using Warcraft as a model for the pandemic response - mind blown

[@brendastevens3665]

As a healer mmo main I need this. Never get tired of hearing about it. I’ve heard healer mains that were there talking about it. Also want to know how the study changed after the start of the pandemic, as the cdc studied it at the time.

[@jonathanbrady3251]

Would love to hear more about the cursed blood case study!

[@amcheeze6782]

*Fun fact for those who dont know* : What happened in WoW is that a prt got infected, the owner put it away before it died, and when they pulled it out outside of the boss in a town, it was still infected and then spread to everyone else.

[@johntybagend]

Full video please! Anything Adam does has the mark of quality to it.

[@garyb9167]

I would love to see that full episode

[@MrSpartacusthegod]

The way the Corrupted Blood debuff spread, it was supposed to (and it did!) fall off of all players before they left the area... but if the debuff got put on a Hunter's pet, then their pet got put away, THEN they left the area... Corrupted Blood would still be on their pet, and it would spread from that point. But, since nobody was in the boss area anymore, the trigger to remove Corrupted Blood wasn't present!

[@gracefulannie-grcflannie-]

We definitely need Clery to do that World of Warcraft video.

[@timothyoswald8618]

I want to hear how Leroy Jenkins indirectly created cursed blood.

[@tluets]

With that hand gesture, I kept thinking she was going to talk about Tanooki Balls

[@ingramfry7179]

Apparently when they brought the chipset to the person to design the controller, she cried.

[@BrianWestley]

There are dozens of youtube videos, just search for corrupted blood. A slightly better explanation: The corrupted blood was a DOT (damage over time) that high level characters could survive, and it was only in a high level dungeon. Players could spread it to other players nearby. Pets (like hunter pets, warlock demons, etc) could also get it and spread it. The DOT was removed when you left the dungeon -- however, pets could be "put away" before leaving and still have the DOT, and they were skipped. When the pet was brought out again outside the dungeon, the DOT was still active and could spread. It would kill low level players quickly. NPCs could catch it, but couldn't die, so they would keep spreading it when they caught it. When the method become known, players would do this intentionally. The big cities were usually the worst affected, so players (particularly low level ones) stayed away. Healers generally couldn't remove the DOTs fast enough to cure an area. It usually took a reset of the system.

[@westonlong]

Bring the cursed blood video

[@FallenAdam]

Yes. Make the video Adam!

[@thefirepanda5503]

Must hear about WoW pandemic !!

[@Chigen_Atomic]

The break of the Nintendo Playstation also lead to the Philips CD-i as well. Nintendo tried to team with Philips to create discs for them, though with the contract heavily favoring them this time around. Philips had no interest and ended up breaking off to build their console.

[@ReverendRaff]

It is making me so happy to see the new Whatculture offices popping up in the backgrounds more and more.

[@killahertz7124]

Zero Punctuation did a great coverage on how the Corrupted Blood incident occured and its impact.

[@kieran89uk]

I'm fascinated in the cursed blood thing.

[@rhysevans9101]

100% want a standalone film on the blood virus!

[@jameswilliston9926]

Yes please. I’d love to hear the rest of the WHO WOW story.

[@TJDious]

Warcraft pandemic video asap

[@richardclaytondesign]

We need the full WOW corrupted video!

[@bestbuddz4349]

I would love to hear the full story about WoW, I find the bit you DID talk about extremely interesting

[@SkeeLoGreene]

I don't know how someone can talk about a tanooki and not reference the Mario suit....like, how???

[@ZeroArmour]

Yes please Adam, do a full video on the WoW/WHO Cursed Blood story.

[@debraleonard7996]

I must see more about the Cursed Blood Pandemic!

[@esmereven2093]

Yes! Cursed blood! Let's get a more detailed video on that nightmare incident.

[@couchslouch3540]

Adam- Yeah man, I'd love to see more videos on that topic, one of the more interesting topics I've heard.

[@lonejedi70]

Adam's full video!! Adam's full video!!!

[@dmbdoesgaming]

Yep full video of the first one please

[@logank.70]

Tom Nook and the tonooki thing from animal crossing is the same idea behind the tonooki suit in Super Mario Bros. 3. Leaf and all.

[@ReigninMud]

I need to know more about the corrupted blood story, that actually blew my mind.

[@Khan360HD]

I definitely want the full video on the Corrupted blood pandemic that happened in WoW

[@Poport3146]

Definitely would love the whole story.

[@willsnyder4399]

FULL VIDEO!!!

[@everestjohnson3873]

Going to have to tell the full WoW story now

[@joejohnson5051]

I’m probably the only person interested but I for one would love to hear more on Adam clery’s Warcraft blood story.

[@13shadowphoenix13]

please do a full video on the WoW virus. I've never played the game but I'm always interested by stuff that happens with it.

[@toddgreene6381]

so what actually happened was the curse wasn't dispelling properly from hunters and necro pets and when those players ported to town the dot would spread. if you were lvl 60 it was only annoying but if you were lvl10 it was instadeath. healers were standing around in ironforge buffing and rezzing and healing people but it didn't matter because some people thought it was funny and would get the debuff and then run into the auction house and infect everyone there.

[@98nh3609]

I'm very interested in the whole story of cursed blood

[@BulldozerTheDon]

I want a whole video on the blood plague

[@logansrevenge1214]

Do the video! But wasn't it the pets of players that spread it? The code worked for players but when they went back into the world, the pet would still be infected.

[@DannyHobo]

There is a great Studio Ghibli movie "Pom Poko" if you like to see more about tanuki, very fun to watch

[@breakfasttokez3080]

Great video, other than the final entry 👌

[@neah2k11]

I've questioned from day 1... if there was no data on a disease of this scale who were they making predictions about it?

[@plasticbloodedbuilder7868]

You are also forgetting that tanukis have MASSIVE BOLLOCKS

[@SorcererLance]

and many people actually theorize Timmy & Tommy are that, but personified as his "nephews"... which is more curious is the fact that compared to various characters who HAVE aged, they haven't.

[@rottensquid]

So Ed Fries is the Coach Beard of Microsoft.

[@ZemuriaScarlet]

Jesus, Ewan is starting to look like Josh! 😉

[@TeknoBoy]

Abso-LUTE-ly do a video on the WoW Corrupted Blood Incident. That is a FASCINATING story that NEEDS to be told

Mr Freeze’s name is Victor not Ed, you’re prob mixing up Edward Nigma and Victor Fries.

I loved the old "fat" Xbox controller. It was nice and meaty. I was actually a little disappointed at the smaller 360 controller.

[@tankgunner9860]

Adam we need that world of Warcraft video

[@awesomegamer7252]

Sony Made a deal with Nintendo , but i don't think it was 1989 I think it might have been latter than that, they betrayed Sony once they found out that SNES add on the PlayStation, would allow Sony to own any game on disc, so they did a deal with Philips, for their CDI, Sony weren't happy and crated their PlayStation One in retaliation.

[@robhuggins]

Give us the WHO WoW VIDEO!!!!! i dont even play WoW, and i'm super interested!!!

[@mattyb584]

Why does she sound like she could voice one of the crones in the witcher 3?

[@mistermack4987]

The real reason the xbox controller was so big was that industry wide there was a beleif that the tiny controllers were what killed the Sega Dreamcast

[@conkyvsricki4710]

how can you play mario 3 and not know what a tanooki is?

[@lovehawks2814]

The WoW video must be made!

[@theBRANDOProductions]

So with the Sony thing: Nintendo actually went to Sony’s competitor Phillips to get a better deal. So we have Xbox and PlayStation all because Nintendo decided to Welch on a contract

[@DannyHobo]

even worse, Nintendo and Phillips announced their console at 1991 CES as a surprise to all visitors, INCLUDING SONY. That was really a d*ck move, Ben-Roy didn't do this story justice

[@theBRANDOProductions]

@@DannyHobo I didn’t know that. I just found it funny that shady business practices literally made Nintendo’s modern competition

[@DannyHobo]

@@theBRANDOProductions read up on it, or there might be some videos on youtube as well. shady as fck indeed

[@cabotfisher7208]

I want The Who wow vid

[@stoneyfur]

Sony vs nintendo is like ferrari vs laborghini of the console wars lamborghini aruged with ferrari that there cars was to expensive, ferrari would not do anything so lamborghini is like...hmph FINE and made there own (remember they was originally a tractor maker) So ferrari made lambo a competitor like nintendo made sony a competator? no just me thinking like this?

[@stevenabney8879]
