If by "has made" you mean "made over five years ago."

Why is the video dated Nov 20, 2011?

Bah. Horde has Saurfang. That's all they need.

Meh, it's the same as all the Chuck Norris jokes. At least Mr. T and William Shatner were funny and original.

2006 called. They want their commercial back.

serial_crusher: 2006 called. They want their commercial back.

The only Chuck Norris/WoW stuff that far back are parody commercials. The commercial iin the submitter's link is officially from Blizzard and was posted on November 20, 2011.

It's 2011. There's so many ways to extract video, but this moron just has to point a camera vaguely in the direction of the TV and hope for the best.

My gawd, why post this horrible thing when the original is posted online by Blizzard? (new window)

Well, my faith in Blizz wasn't exactly high anyway. Jumping on a bandwagon that ran out of steam 2+ years ago, with a celebrity whose only major activity recently has been vocally championing a number of far right wing causes, really doesn't seem to be some of the better work of their advertising department.

Exactly.

Alliance has a washed up martial arts movie actor turned conservative butt boy and internet meme, while Horde has a sniveling, self important crybaby who is running his faction into the ground.

AdBlock and Friends say fark ad revenue. I haven't seen an ad on YouTube or any other site in 5+ years.

Also, WoW has been surpassed by LoL in number of players. Won't be long now...thankfully.

I think they do that to get around the auto-magical interweb spiders what peruse the nets for copyrighted material. Another such way that used to work was mirroring the video, but that has to be easy enough to adjust for, so I dunno if that still works.

Eve. Everquest. Everquest 2.

Your argument is invalid. As long as it makes money, WoW will never die.

Chuck Norris jokes stopped by funny five years ago.

Five years ago is also when I learned grammar and spelling.

They have no freak'n melee skills!

Have you ever read Barrens Chat? I'm betting its still the same stuff I saw when i last played a few years ago. That is their target audience. The people they already have subscribing.
 
2011-11-22 09:27:11 AM
I saw that commercial and immediately thought of that South Park episode where there was a problem with a WoW player who was so good, subscriptions to WoW were going down because nobody could defeat him
 
2011-11-22 10:10:46 AM
If you look closely, you can see Chuck Norris jumping a shark. It's hard to see because the recording is of a TV, but if you look between :00 and :30, you can see it.

/might need to squint though
 
2011-11-22 02:39:31 PM
Thus ensuring that I won't ever play it.

/seriously, if Chuck Norris likes it, it probably sucks
//willing to make an exception for Texas BBQ
///but only if someone feeds me some

Chuck Norris needs to make a toupee commercial. That rug is absurd.

The other day this picture (new window)

It appears someone took a camera to their monitor...
...that was displaying a JPG (as the address bars shows)
...that was of a frame of a video (there is a time bar on the bottom)
...that was a recorded from a TV (odd TV angle)

So yea. They took a photograph of a screen shot of a video that was filming a TV . That's just impressive

Here is a sneak peek of the next WoW ad:

Pandas and Pokemon battles. And now this Chuck Norris thing YEARS after it was "in".

Who the fark thought or still thinks this is a good idea? The player base has aged - going on 8 years- yet they're shifting their idea of what their core demographic is, as insane as that sounds. If what I hear is true- that the average age of a gamer is mid-late 30's- then to put this weak new kiddie crap on an 8 year old title (especially when so much else could have been improved) and expect the average-aged and WoW-invested gamer to appreciate and eat it up is just rubbish. Like Star Wars did with the Binks, they're stupidly making a grasp at a younger audience and shiatting on their old faithfuls in the process. It didn't work with Binks and it won't work with this. I've left and so has everyone I knew that played. It's not because it's not fun, but it just feels like it's not about the player anymore, and why would we invest time in something that obviously is going to get really dumb and strange with the next expansion? Nobody in my experience is interested in the new race or the new class at all, and actually think they missed an opportunity to make some other really cool NPC races playable and have some non-goofy lore arcs. They've totally jumped the shark.
Everything WoW has done over the past couple years tells me they're not interested in retaining their core demo.. and so I've left.

The new star wars MMO is coming out soon. I'm beta testing it this weekend! Yay

Yeah I'm kind of butthurt about it. It used to be so cool. Ah well.

/too old for this crap
