I actually turn off my vent sometimes to listen to him.

My gut tells me this is e-sarcasm, but I *need* to confirm that you're kidding.

Hell no.

Wilt thou provoke me? Then have at thee, boy!

Hi-larious!

There was a lot of discussion about a lack of lore and motivation of things, but that movie certainly does help I think. Certainly makes sense why one contents with SSC and TK in the larger scheme of what happens in Outland.

My only concern with voice-acting is when it kind of gets drilled into your brain from over-repetition. Malch's classic line, for example. I love the line, the voice, etc, but dear god I hear it seventy times per fight and my brain starts resenting me.

Aran suffers from the same when you're teaching some of your... Less intelligent... Raiders how to stand still at key times. His voice acting is still awesome however, though Warp Splinter's voice acting in the next patch will beat it.

Couldn't agree more there, Blizzard really did a great job on all the voice acting in Karazhan, too bad that the quality seems to be slightly lower in later content.

I am really curious as to hear the new voices in SSC and what not, I think they will be entertaining.

I love how they slipped in Ner'zhul there, with his face paint and everything.

And that trailer page finally explains why Doomwalker is spamming his earthquake at BT's door.

Lamaros · 05/17/07, 12:37 AM

Anyone have a non-blizzard-site streaming link?

NM: Found it.

I must've missed that :/

The last line of text on the site, not in video the trailer.

And yet, despite Illidan's efforts to seal Ner'zhul's portals, Kil'jaeden's wrath will not be denied. Even now the merciless Doomwalker batters at the temple gates.

Ah, thanks.

I seem to remember hearing that one of the original voice actors had passed away. (I think Illidan, but am not sure). I could be completely off-base here though. Had anyone else heard anything like that?

Edit-Found it, it was Tony Jay, the guy who had done the intro voiceovers.

I think Tony Jay had still recorded some lines before he died; pretty sure they Draenei and BE intros were done by him, and I could swear he voiced Magtheridon too.

People really think Kael has become fatter in TBC?

If anything he's slimmed down! http://www.battle.net/war3/images/hu...eens/ss019.jpg

He went from wider to a horse to just barely wider than a 9-foot-tall space alien. Progress!

Beter Kael pic than above.

In WC3 Kael'thas was as wide as he was tall, with legs thicker than tree trunks. He's definetly slimmed down a ton, especially since he's now wearing multiple layers of cloaks and robes.

I really liked the trailer... huge for lore fans. One thing I noticed though... was that Ner'zhul as an orc in the middle of the trailer ("Even after the Horde's reckless sorcery tore the planet apart")?

He had on that skull mask just like the picture of that Orc in the Beyond the Dark Portal manual. I thought that was a pretty cool nod to toss him in.
