Behold! World of Speechcraft!
Before Icecrown Citadel, I thought the Argent Tournament intro speech was bad! At least you can skip that one… As for the rest of these; I do enjoy the lore associated with them, however, once I heard the speech, I’d rather just get on with the fighting every time after that. And when you get right down to it… it all turns into some kind of weird soap opera type thing. They all have some weird bizarre problem that they are stubbornly passionate about and, of course, will go on to tell you all about it…
Seriously… if I was a boss and some punks broke into my lair, I wouldn’t rattle on with some long winded speeches about this and that and boo hoo hoo… No! I’d lay the smack down! It all reminds me of the old batman/superman comics where the badguy will tell them the whole plan before they die a slow and unmoderated death… to which they escape and save the day. Come on villains! Get with it! Just squish them and move on… cause they’re probably just buffing up while you’re giving them your life story.
For those not yet to ICC, here’s an excellent site (except for the last one) with their real speeches (spoilers… I guess): ICC Intro, Lady Deathwhisper, Gunship Battle, Saurfang, and Lich King.
Did you know that Dranosh means “Heart of Draenor”?
funny… how his parents tried to protect him from the warlocks only to have him turned into a death knight of sorts…
see people… GREEN IS GOOD! >)
there’s only one thing I tell them after they talk.
TOO LONG, DIDN’T READ… strangely enough they start in the enrage.
edit: just now have I noticed the orc warlock sleeping IN the VW. Made my day, man.
:3
hehe… yeah, I figured the voidwalker could be used as a bean bag chair… looks pretty comfy too!
>D
Um…Coffin? I…I don’t think that’s how you use the rocket-pack. No, you see, it’s supposed to be strapped to a bear’s behind like so…
heh! I mostly just rocket myself off the gunship (as in on a ledge and just fall off)… stupid hand eye coordination…
Some of the freakin’ voice actors are hilarious though. Listen to the silly noises that Bronjahm makes in Forge of Souls, or the ever popular “YOU DAAAAAAARE LOOK UPON THE HOST OF SOUUUUUUUULS!?” that one amuses me to no end. xD
I’m just waiting for them to have James Earl Jones voice the next bad guy… it’s bound to happen!! only a matter of time…
Poor voidwalker is totally not amused >_>
He doesn’t like being furniture I guess… But what summoned demon doesn’t seem pissed off anyways? Such bad attitudes!
I totally lol’d for like an hour at the blind blindness thing XD.
I found panel four hilarious, I must say.
Reminds me of Professor Doofinshmirtz (spelling?)
hmm… guess I should’ve brought my platypus to the raid huh?
Hahaha! “Because you are all blind… to the blindness!” Oooh, I laughed so hard at that. And I wish someone would just once say “Bite me, Arthas!” XD
I kinda was blind… other than the name, I didn’t realize she was a lady until I did the drawing and noticed the corset.
Ugh, and that stupid Halls of Stone as well. Don’t leave the room with the computer with haste? Looks like you get to sit through all that stuff about dwarves!
uhg… that dude drove me insane! I know dwarves have short legs, but come on guy, pick up the pace! I know they can run! I’ve seen them chase down beers during brewfest!
This comic? This one right here? WIN.
I complain about this to my bf every time we raid ICC. Every time. I think he’s annoyed more by me now.
I wish they would just shut up and let me melt their faces. Nobody wins with speeches like this. We get bored, and they look like tools when we pwn them.
lol, ty!
it does get a little much… I’m just happy they added the “zip it” option in the 5man TOC… although if you random enough, there will be someone that will hit the extra long speech option… to which you vote to kick…
I finally ran out of Star Wars quips whenever we would face Saurfang (things like “Prepare to witness the power of this fully operational citadel!”).
To be fair to Lady RuPaul Falwell, she is preaching to her followers rather than berating the raid like the other bosses.
