You’ll never guess who we found in the studio one day at the end of shooting. That’s right, our own Alexis Knapp. A lot of you guys have been saying that she can’t play. Well, we hope this puts some of that speculation to rest. (And yeah, we did blur out a couple screens for the sake of her privacy.)

    Better than me!

    By Kevin on Friday, September 5th, 2008 at 7:17 pm

    Rogue/Hunter isn’t too bad of a combo, I got like 1700 rating back in season 2 now I play with a mage but it’s not a bad combo, also Alexis I should’ve suggested that you get your battlemaster’s before you get medallion since if you already had a +20 resil blue then another +20 isn’t better than bm crit/ap/etc

    By Lee Andrew on Friday, September 5th, 2008 at 8:29 pm

    OMG, sh is sooo lovely. Not is she extremely beautiful, but also plays 10 times better than me. I was not one of those guys that saud she can’t play, but man was I sure she only played casually if that. Wow she is good, amazing!

    Oh and yeah, she also has a very nice voice! :P

    Alexis FTW!

    By Lee Andrew on Friday, September 5th, 2008 at 8:31 pm

    Excuse my typos. Bah!

    Of course I mean she IS extremely beautiful! :P

    By Dakota on Friday, September 5th, 2008 at 8:39 pm

    Yea Alexis. Great looking character. Also you seem so much more relaxed you should be that way during the wrap up episodes.

    By Zaffe on Friday, September 5th, 2008 at 8:41 pm

    See why can’t she be more chilled out and natural like in this video, it’s much more pleasing to watch. None of the eyes go left eyes go right shit.. just don’t give her a script and let her talk her way through the recap it will be much more pleasing to watch and probably be a lot more descriptive than the short brief that the producer/whoever gives her..

    By Dakota on Friday, September 5th, 2008 at 8:46 pm

    /played?

    By Selystus on Friday, September 5th, 2008 at 8:58 pm

    yeah agree with Zaffe, shouldn’t script read =/
    makes me think you’re just a hired actor who knows nothing about WoW but, guess this vid shut me up lol, sick gaming

    By masterinsan0 on Friday, September 5th, 2008 at 9:13 pm

    Okay, I’ll admit that I had some doubts about her actually playing the game, mainly stemming from the large amount of script-reading during the wrap-up episodes. This video convinces me that, at the very least, she plays the game, and she apparently plays it fairly well.

    Now that I know she plays WoW, though, I’m curious about what makes her stumble so much during the wrap-up videos. Either she’s being told to read a script, or she’s just really nervous on camera.

    I suggest this: if it’s the former, let her take a shot at doing her own wrap-up. I doubt something as simple as the weekly wrap-up needs to be explicitly written anyway. If it’s the latter, you might want to find someone more comfortable to do the wrap-ups.

    By Cruneiros on Friday, September 5th, 2008 at 11:12 pm

    I told you all! I knew she was a Real wow player.

    I never doubted you for a second Alexis!

    By Zeo on Friday, September 5th, 2008 at 11:12 pm

    Now now now. I never said she couldn’t play. I simply asked for proof because of the stale way she acts on camera most of the time.

    Anyway, you delivered, Project Lore. You gave in to our demands and I can’t thank you enough. Now that I know she can hold true to what she said originally and that she’s not a random fake, I feel much more comfortable watching the wrap ups.

    You rock, Alexis. And relax more like this, ya? >:D

    By machisek on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 1:51 am

    woow, she is nice

    By Eric on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 2:49 am

    :O And we didnt believe her! We are so sorry master! ;D

    By Reyson on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 5:10 am

    I smell a spin-off!

    By Ben on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 7:03 am

    i knew she kicked ass all female hunters do.

    Jesus you really are a lick ass, do you think she’s going to e-mail you and say thanks?

    By Twothrone on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 7:28 am

    I think when you use flare you should use Freeze Trap and dps the one you didnt frezee 2 on 1 and do wingclip to freezed one when you got other it will pretty good for 2v2 Btw I also think she plays you can see from her talks at wrap ups

    By Ecco on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 8:44 am

    Oh no you don’t Cruineros. You’re not going to play the good guy here. I didn’t like how the video made it out to be a coincidence that they stumbled upon her playing WoW. Before they decided to turn the camera on here they had their minds made up to dispell all of Alexis’ accusers here. No one doubts she can play. But when you act like a Project Lore pinup and do your coverage and witty remarks like a brainless bimbo we start to hate that personality. The persona that does the wrap-ups and the one here are completely different.

    The Alexis here would be awesome for future episodes. And was that Dorkins with the camera?

    By Robby on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 9:52 am

    Go and show them your no push over. (Seriously though you should put this video as a pod cast)

    By Borbock on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 10:08 am

    that makes me wanna go play my hunter….i think i might go do that

    nice moves

    By Jules on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 11:52 am

    Alexis who?

    By Ted Melvin Jr. on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 12:06 pm

    she purdy

    By Frdi on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 12:25 pm

    She plays well, however a few exp in pvp would hurt, but anyway, good to know that now all the answers have benn cleared, about the vid i only need to say you felt more relax at this one, if wrap-up could be like that you would have a shoe in! just speak from your own exp. and not a script…;)

    By Taylor Medley on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 12:29 pm

    This is an amazing team. Would love to be apart of the laughs they have plus the coordination they have together as a group. Well keep up the good work guys, always looking for new episodes when they drop, and Alexis awesome PVP player would love to run a few premades with you.

    By Gene on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 12:46 pm

    Awesome. Its always nice to see a little PvP.

    Personally, I enjoy Hunter/Rouge as a combo provided you have the right spec between them. I’d say Marksman and Shadowstep is a personal fav. With the right gear and timing its a clothy destroyer. However, without the right spec or synergy it can be a very weak combo. However, Hunter/Druid is music to my ears.

    Its also refreshing to hear more people know how EotS can actually be won. Yes, towers are more important then the flag, in addition when the flag is captured you gain more points based off of how many towers are under your control.

    As for strategies, it sounds like Alexis and I are on the same page. If I were alliance the first place I’d send 9 people is Fel Reaver. However, I play horde so if they listen they usually lay waste to Dreanai(sp?) Ruins. Of course leaving one behind for Mage Tower(Alliance) or Blood Elf Tower(Horde). While the other remaining player fend off the zerg of the other established territories. After you have territory and the people to guard it, then go mid, grab flag, repeat turn in… win in no time.

    Hopefully this becomes a regular thing… PvP is ze fun.

    By Josh on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 1:03 pm

    Good show you are pretty good at your class Alexis. I also loved your presentation of yourself you were so comfortable. O and also I singed up on Digg just to digg this

    By Brandon on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 2:19 pm

    I never knew there was controversy over this person playing or not, but those PC’s are amazing and I wish one of them was sitting in my room right now so I could play WoW on one. I love project lore and this only tells me that not all female characters are male, contrary to my beliefs lol.

    By Ananun on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 2:28 pm

    Scorpions are lame and i thought i remember reading somewhere you had Season4 gear i never saw season4 gear and yeah you should have a dps pet instead because there better….*sigh*

    Marksmen

    By Ananun on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 2:49 pm

    Oh wait she does have season4, last time i watch a video half way through and comment and close the tab :P

    By Maxx on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 3:21 pm

    Well her being a model explains the whole beauty thing. Unfortunately for her, I’m sure a ton of nasty geeks in LA really hit on her.

    By Dave on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 5:48 pm

    i was just wondering wat server u guys play on cause i play on shadowsong with my 70 lock plz respond

    By Zaffe on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 6:07 pm

    Ahahaha Ananun you just facepalmed yourself

    By Jason B on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 6:18 pm

    That girls got what…..that girls got game. Not to mention she could probably run circles around me in WOW, of course i know enough to know that the space button makes you jump.

    By Shiva on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 6:20 pm

    her being a model doesnt “explain the whole beauty thing” … her being beautiful explains why she models! Please watch out for your choice of words….

    I thoroughly enjoyed viewing her ‘profile’ while she destroyed nubs >:)

    By Will on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 8:46 pm

    I stand (well… sit…) and look at all the paranoid, nay-saying, faithless people out there: Feeling sheepish, are we?

    I saw some pretty harsh stuff being hurled towards this young lady and her friends in recent days and how did they respond? With class. With style.

    Well done. Well done indeed. Thank you for being really good at what you do, all of you, Project Lore.

    By Dragonpuff on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 11:56 pm

    *Commences to point and laugh at all who thought the GIRL didn’t/couldn’t play, let alone the PRETTY girl*

    You show all them nay-sayers who boss! Go Girl! >:D

    By Justin on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 12:31 am

    By playboyangel on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 2:16 am

    Alexis is Awesome!!!!
    keep up the good maybe the guys will let u play
    nite =-)

    By Aquanight on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 2:57 am

    i think we should replace zan with alex she looks great.

    ALWAYS though she could play the game :D

    By Rugi on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 5:07 am

    I don’t know what others were thinking when they said Alexis couldn’t play, be it because she didn’t talk so naturally on wrap-ups or so.

    Ofc, there are good players, and players who are not as good as the “Uber pwnage dudes” but hey, if you can enjoy the game, that makes you more pro than others.

    The minute I heard that she played a hunter I fell in love with her (not seriously), because I leveled up from 1-70 as a MM hunter, did all the instances as MM, then at 70 I respecced to BM, but then specced back to MM ‘cuz I like MM more.

    And OFC everyone likes her! The problem with WoW players is that almost everyone calls you a no-life or nerd the second you say “I play WoW”. This really gets you frustrated, no matter how you try to convince them that it’s no different from other games (Except that it pwns and is better than other games). And due to this fact, it is Uncommon to see a girl playing WoW, Rare to see a girl who actually likes it, Epic to see her having lvl 70 toons and Season 4 gear, Legendary that she is funny, good-looking and other else.

    Let’s admit it, everyone would die for a email from her.

    By Zaffe on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 5:36 am

    “Let’s admit it, everyone would die for a email from her.”

    No really, I’m not that sad.

    By Kostas on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 6:33 am

    to bad that our hunters can’t meet (I play in EU-Sylvanas). My Humar would love to sink his teeth in your purple flesh hehe. Any way, nice skills girl, nice gear too. I would probably switch the crossbow with a bow, but who am I to tell (went with an x-bow all the way to 60 :P). Any way honey, you brought more fans to this site than any other, coz you got all it takes: killer looks and killer skills :)

    By Rikesh on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 8:05 am

    Sheesh…overheated puffery..
    So she can play big deal even a trained monkey can play..but i’ll give credit where it’s due, gj I guess..

    By Zach on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 9:06 am

    wow… Lee Andrew… creeper

    By Auxon on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 9:07 am

    I never doubted she could play … as if ProjectLore would hire someone who doesn’t when there are so many people who do!

    By Zeo on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 9:28 am

    “Let’s admit it, everyone would die for a email from her.”

    I could honestly care less.

    I had my reasons to be suspect and they were perfectly acceptable reasons at that. One of them being the fact that I am female myself.

    I can’t recall anybody bluntly saying “she can’t play” because I don’t think anybody even thought that to begin with. I don’t understand why words were shoved into our mouths like that. One little suspect comment comes up and all hell breaks loose. All anybody ever wanted was a little evidence that she could back up what she said.

    As I said in my other posts from back then, I would love to be proven wrong and I was. I don’t know why everyone’s got this “IN YER FACE” attitude. Seriously. You don’t need to defend her and act so stuck up. She can obviously defend herself.

    By Grant on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 10:57 am

    Lol I didn’t read the blur the screen for her privacy part so I thought I was loosing it watching the video Lol..

    By Ananun on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 11:44 am

    I don’t understand why people are obessed with Alexis, i mean the only turn on is that she is good at WoW and i doubt that really

    By Grant on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 12:06 pm

    Forgot to add this…

    Whoever said replace Zan with Alexis.
    No. Zan is awesome hes such an awesome hunter and making that would just ruin the show. Thats just my opinion.

    By grammercy on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 12:15 pm

    Srsly looks like dirty wow porn

    Are you just a sick perv with no life and live in the basement with your parents or are you just a 10 year old boy who still thinks sex is a bad word and why say “wow porn” do u seriously get turned on my cartoons screwing each other. Pathetic!

    Reply: *Grant*
    Totally agree with you dude lol Zan is awesome and replacing him with Alexis is plain wrong, for one thing if a girl was in the group many jokes wouldnt be aloud or to sensative for a girls ears and they wouldnt be able to do normal manly things lol although no offence to Alexis :P

    By dood on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 3:16 pm

    who’s the tool with the camera that won’t shut the fuck up?

    By Saemundr on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 5:52 pm

    Sweet vid, i asked for some Alexis PvP action, and u delivered. just for me. aww u guys, u rock ;)

    By Kei on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 8:25 pm

    “just for me”

    Just for you? ROFL. i doubt project lore even know you exist you dumb fuck

    By AlonsusEUDude on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 10:08 pm

    Gorgeous and the girl sure has got some serious PvP Game.
    You can tell that she knows her stuff.
    You can also tell she plays it as a game and has picked some some of the lyngo, But you can also tell she has a life unlike alot of people on WoW; Including the tool who filmed this, Who totally wants to get in there. What a condacending little prick, I’ll bet if she ddn’t have to work with him she’d of told him to take his gnome size and shove it sideways up his fag ass.

    Always looking forward to the recaps, Girl also got screen talent.

    By AgentTango on Monday, September 8th, 2008 at 9:03 am

    @ dood & AlonsusEUDude

    you two are morons. plain and simple morons.

    you two, and a few others, are probably the reason PL even did this video and you have the fuckin nerve to bark at the person who did it for you?

    you both don’t know shit about Alexis or the dude who filmed this video.

    you don’t know shit about what PL is doing to make this site for you.

    and you sure as shit don’t know how the fuck to be nice to people.

    Its to bad fucks like you always ruin blogs and forums. obviously you two little pricks have nothing better to do than piss and moan about shit and put people down.

    Just because your jealous that guy was talking with her, in the same room with her and probably has talked with her before, you gotta be pricks about it. you’ll never even kno if Alexis is even her real name.

    well here’s a piece of advise: shut the fuck up and take ur shit somewhere else. I hope they block ur IP.

    And Alexis, you rock! I believed from the start that you had game and I’m glad you showed all the ppl who didn’t think you did.

    And Project Lore, thanks for the great site. just do us all a favor and add a rating system so we can rank down idiots who don’t appreciate the great work ur doing.

    By SaintElmo on Monday, September 8th, 2008 at 9:10 am

    Alexis you rock! again and again and again :)

    and I hope you get ur S4 shoulders soon

    @AgentTango - I agree that we should have a rating system here, something to down rank all the ppl who don’t know how to act on forums

    By Colm on Monday, September 8th, 2008 at 12:10 pm

    Why did I feel like I was watching a gonzo porn video? “Wow those are some nice shoulders. Why don’t you slip those off” LOL.

    By NeoEvincar on Monday, September 8th, 2008 at 1:20 pm

    Anyone else find the guy talking pretty annoying? not so much the voice, just the way hes talking, just seems annoying, like hes condacenting to her, i dunno, maybe im just tired lol

    By Chris on Monday, September 8th, 2008 at 5:02 pm

    I like BM spec more for pvp. 18secs of pure DPS.

    doomtarget on spirestone is my toon. i have a few s4, but calming down before the expansion because it isn’t worth it.

    By Nathaniel Kabal on Monday, September 8th, 2008 at 7:43 pm

    There are what, 11 million people that play worldwide? Casual and hardcore, and with online activities becoming a primary means of entertainment and socialization, is it really a shock that not everyone that plays looks like you? And srsly, even if she (Alex) didn’t, who cares?

    I’m not seeing ads running before these videos, and the only thing I do see that’s “ad-like” is for a monitor the VAST majority of us can’t afford or won’t be getting.

    So thank you Project Lore, I enjoy the site, and the videos, game play and wrap up, and I don’t think I’m being a “lick ass” by saying so… :p to the haters and creepy freaks

    By andrew on Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 at 5:57 am

    Wasn’t Dorkins with the camera cause she was using his comp and he was talking about dorkins how he had crazy macros and stuff. So was probably another dude. Was very nice to see her more human on this episode. the wrap ups seem very “botted” if you get what i mean, Project lore is all about being casule the guys just muck around dissing each other and saying who does most dps it should carry on through to the wrap up. we don’t need to know all the crazy stuff say it from a gamers point of view and with more emotion or paza and you’ll definatly enchance the project lore gaming experience.
    Thx lexis funny how reading blogs you find extra videos.

    By Pablo on Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 at 9:40 am

    Nice!

    Iam impressed ^^!
    For the first time i saw a girl owning!

    Hehe!
    Keep it going ^^

    Cya!

    By Pablo on Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 at 9:44 am

    Oh yeh..
    I forgot 1 thingy..

    They didnt upload the video just to see her..
    Its an upload to prove she can play..

    So for the people who ”feel love”
    (you know what i mean)

    Keep dreaming!

    And thanks! for project lore.. every episode i just cant wait ^^
    Cya!

    It’s so cool to see her playing.

    I just hope we don’t meet in battle, my toon would get murdered!

    By Soraya on Wednesday, September 10th, 2008 at 10:51 am

    Stop picking on her not being relaxed in other videos. Unless you have had the experience of standing in front of a camera and all the focus and attention is 100% on your every single movement, you have no idea what it feels like. Even then unless you yourself can ignore all the stress and pressure and relax in front of the camera, don’t even talk about expecting other people to do any better. I think she has done a great job in the videos thus far.

    She is from the group of few exceptional female players that not only actually play WoW, but play pretty well. I wish more girls would play WoW. I found from personal experience that girls actually play better than guys do once they get past the bloody gore and violence and seriously decide to play this game. So I hope more girls will see her as an example and decide to try and play WoW with their friends.

    Good idea about the pvp series..like a side series with hints and tips for different classes and teams. Only started pvping a while back so still getting the hang of it, would be useful to watch a pro show me how to play.

    love the vid and love the show. would love to see you do a couple raids with the guys some time to.

    take it easy and keep up the good work.

    After viewing this film, for a non PVPer as myself, made me want too try it because it look like there more strategie into it. I Raid more then anything on a PVE server. But great Job Alexi.
    For those that have negative statment well you know something i dont see you on your own website showing your stuff. Great for Alexis hope you enjoy the Expansion and looking foward too watching more of PL episodes.

    I like all the guys and girl involved in this site i think it’s great too show other player how it’s played from all kinds of level.

    Thanks again

    By Darkhallow on Saturday, November 1st, 2008 at 6:11 pm
