PROJECT LORE ROCKS

lol thanks for telling us that things are edited, i always wondered bout that, thanks project lore for showing how to do instances, i too get frustrated from game guides and crappy resolution vids on youtube.com. Keep it up Project Lore, u made me seem intelligent in an instance =)

Project lore is becoming very famous…make sure this thing doesn’t go over your head..just a tip since many teams tarted this way and end up it a fame in there head..besides that just keep what you do best wipes and kills..opps i mean kill and destroy…LOL XD

By Ecco on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 3:49 pm

well you got a point Frdi, those wipes and kills don’t even really have to be seen unless it’s beneficial to learning more about x game content. Same could be said about anything and everyone in project lore. All the awkward quotes, anything that might be staged. You don’t really have to do that. Just keep doing scenes until you are confident with how things were played.

Alexis for example. I’m not going to say every wrap-up she would do ad-lib would be comic gold. HOWEVER I am saying that after a couple of takes with different approaches and execution there’s bound to be one good take. Orson Welles said the most important part of film if editing. And Project Lore would do good to make that their John 3:16

Everyone wipes it’s no big deal, sometimes I’m with a group that’s at my level and who can just go and pull without me spamming go on chat and the dps takes mana breaks and doesn’t fight for like 3 mobs, good tank good healer, and then there’s times when there are less expierienced players who are maybe going through instances the first time, I’m a patient guy and I could teach young healers at like 1500-1600 healing or a tank with like 10k health but after like my gear gets red, I’m out. So making some wipes is no big deal, project lore is a big success.

By Juan on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 4:49 pm

These are decent at best but came up with a brilliant idea how to show ppl content.

By GaMa on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 5:32 pm

Whoa, nice. Who would’ve thought that this project would boom so fast? Pretty soon you should publicize some statistics on views of videos, or some way to see HOW popular project lore is.

By sevink on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 6:34 pm

I saw this on my Black Berry. I was watching the interview before my movie Bangkok Dangerious Started. I hope project lore only gets bigger/better. The show rocks, the website rocks!

By SirUrza on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 7:31 pm

Rock on Project Lore. This is going on my livejournal!

By Anonymous on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 8:06 pm

I’m actually a bit surprised at how fast Project Lore is rising. Just don’t rise so fast that you crash into the ceiling and then hit rock bottom.

But seriously, great way to get some publicity.

By Ozzel's Cousin Fred on Saturday, September 6th, 2008 at 10:04 pm

I remember posting on the WoW forums several months back basically saying that there was a real need for something like this. Endgame encounters are getting so complicated you Need to have indepth explanations covering the fights and whats happenng so people don’t go all crazyface when stuff goes wrong (happens way too much honestly).

Really happy that someone stepped up to the plate and set this up - it’s also nice for those struggling on different content to see these guides, helps break the log jams that sometimes form with progression.

Many thanks to the Project Lore team for providing this service to the WoW community (and grats on the publicity)

Great to see that the mainstream notices projectlore - keep it up, do your thing!

Rock on, and please do some Karazhan Stuff

By SteveBIRK on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 6:11 am

Wow I think CNN should get some one who knows what they are talking about to interview people. She was so lost and was just read the questions that were given to her

By Tinkerton on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 6:16 am

Gotta love that editing

*cries* yay for project lore!

By Rock EM Sockem on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 7:22 am

One word to describe ur show is AWESOMESAUCE

By WalterX on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 7:40 am

Can we now on each Wrap up , how many times you got wiped >?

It would be rly interesting for me

By Munchkinz on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 7:51 am

PROJECTLORE ftw!!!

By Zeo on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 9:33 am

SteveBIRK - All news reporters are like that. Seriously, if she actually knew what she was talking about, Alex would have been unneeded. That’s what interviews are for in the first place. You’re getting the facts and information from somebody who DOES know what they’re talking about.

By Bogdan from Russia on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 10:32 am

O CMON!!!!
THEY GET MONEY FOR PLAYING WoW !!! =’(((
NOT FAIR MAN, NOT FAir!
Dr.Dark nice speech

By Kalcifer on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 1:24 pm

Greetings from the EU realms!

I love the show and have downloaded them all to my ipod. I love your shows but i also love the guides for all the classes and the professions. Having never got to the end game stuff, I find that your show is encouraging me through the mid-level stuff so that i can get to it.

By birofunk on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 2:40 pm

loving the ” cheeseyness” of the interview XD

By braindead on Sunday, September 7th, 2008 at 3:02 pm

woot project lore ftw!

By Ender on Monday, September 8th, 2008 at 1:35 am

love the show guys i also would like to see on the recap maybe a bloopers video or something like that.

By Wooly on Monday, September 8th, 2008 at 5:33 am

haha that was funny, i dont think she had any clue what you where talking about

thanks for getting your game on with us?… really do you have to use that tag line

but grats man this site has taken off in 4 months and now your on cnn

By Hoops on Monday, September 8th, 2008 at 8:56 am

Her voice is so annoying.

By 69 Paladin, 70 Hunter on Monday, September 8th, 2008 at 9:33 am

It was a great idea to do this interview on cnn.com because that is actually how I found out about Project Lore. I can see this website becoming better and more informative as time goes on. I’m so glad that there is a site with such high quality videos.

Looking forward to the updates.

By Volaxir (lvl 35 Druid) on Monday, September 8th, 2008 at 1:41 pm

I actually found this site via Diggnation but that was a good interview. I’m using lore as a way to understand what i really need to do for my druid and etc. I’ll forgive alex for being an alli because honestly this site is pretty awesome.

By Interlude on Monday, September 8th, 2008 at 1:53 pm

Lol, you called her a dude at the beginning.
Nice interview, though.

By Sabrwulf on Monday, September 8th, 2008 at 4:53 pm

That lady is an idiot.. ” Give the viewers a tidbit ” its not freakin Super Mario brothers with a secret 1 up mushroom…..

By Rene on Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 at 9:46 am

Grats great project, great idea - good vids keep up the good work.

By lishuss on Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 at 11:53 am

what was with the ham accent? XD

seriously the chick sounded like she was auditioning for shakespear at a off-off broadway show

By Whytebread on Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 at 2:30 pm

Love that Alex calls everyone dude. ” … Thanks for getting your game on with us.” “Oh, Dude. No problem.”

By Anonymous on Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 at 5:17 pm

To Papashango and everyone else who wants Project Lore to do Karazhan: RE-WATCH EPISODE 0.

Sheesh. -_-

By StevenBullen on Wednesday, September 10th, 2008 at 6:26 am

Quality site people.

By Nick on Friday, September 12th, 2008 at 12:45 pm

lol you should make a video of all the times that youve wiped as a sort of “blooper” reel

By Fizzeled on Friday, September 12th, 2008 at 4:33 pm

“Yea, dude no problem” lol Awesome

By Jeff on Friday, September 12th, 2008 at 5:28 pm

I 2nd the WoW-ipe Out Reel idea…

My 2c is that the CNN ‘dude’ coulda been more ‘clued-up’ on what the game (well; MMORPG concept in general) was about… or at least given the impression she wasn’t as n00b as she came across as… :/

By Jeff on Friday, September 12th, 2008 at 5:32 pm

Ooops… My bad…

Must… read… whole … thread… before… commenting…

… LOL

By kaido on Tuesday, September 16th, 2008 at 3:35 pm

i say that she dont no much but hey what can you say

By Hop on Wednesday, September 17th, 2008 at 11:14 am

You really really rock guys even here in europe keep going and impress us

By Kassi on Wednesday, September 24th, 2008 at 12:14 pm

/agree I really enjoy coming here and watching the show, reading the blogs and comments. Great work, looking forward to more.

By Enteri on Wednesday, October 8th, 2008 at 8:59 am

Good interview. I agree with the “Try every class” .

I did not realize this until i had leveled my druid up to level 50.

My druid is still level 50, but I have a level 70 rogue,warlock and paladin now.

I do have to say that this site is very helpful after trying to decipher the pixelated youtube videos when trying to figure out a boss.
