    By Muradun on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 12:52 pm

    Not to offend Alex the boss is Anub´rekhan not Anub´arak xD
    And finallyy naxx yay :D

    By Kanop on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 12:55 pm

    No glasses Lyle! (: nice.
    Great job on the first boss guys!

    By Alex on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 1:02 pm

    agree w/ Sraizi if you look at their charactor page on the armory it’s been awhile since they did it. just like their last episode in the culling of Stratholme where lyle got the chievment that was about a month before the episode was released to us. I understand it takes a lil while to edit and post up but it shouldn’t take a month for each episode and i think each episode specially like raids the episodes should be alot longer and cover more of the instance in 1 sitting. this raid has 5 stages and each stage has 3 or 4 bosses in it . if they’re going to show 1 ep for each boss plus throw in zand and his soloing in between that’s going to make this 15 boss raid atleast 5 weeks long that’s figuring the usual 3 boss week. I sure hope it isn’t that long

    By Johnes on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 1:08 pm

    Nice video! keep it comeing!

    By Bazookabubblegum on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 1:11 pm

    do uludar.

    By Dalek on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 1:12 pm

    People, seriously, stop complaining about the release times of the videos or the lengths. If they did it as fast as you want them to they would run out of things to show us very quickly, there are only so many instances and raids to show.

    Yes, the game has other things that PL could focus on, but the majority of viewers are here for instance-run videos and not achievements with Dorkins.

    So stop complaining and be happy there is a PL in the first place and think about how awful it would be if they ran out of content to film.

    By Grido on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 1:16 pm

    Pity they killed him before the swarm. I wanted to know what tactic you would of used.

    1. keep tanking in spot and heal through swarm, or
    2. kite him around the room.

    Which is best?

    By noobalicious on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 1:21 pm

    funny how many people whine about these vids.

    you do realize that you aren’t paying for them, right?

    By apathetic on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 1:29 pm

    good video but…. you didnt really show the fight. not too many people watching this for strat are going to plow him down before the first swarm. hopefully we will see some more strat in the next bosses. it was pretty epic tho. nice work. love the vids tho keep it up. pallys ftw!

    By SandwichBLT on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 1:31 pm

    Lyle looks like Alex’s twin without his glasses :D

    By Dom on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 1:33 pm

    If your tank is moderatly geared, make him eat the swarm, its not hard to heal at all, but if he is under geared its their first voyage into naxx ya might want to kite it.

    By miko on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 1:42 pm

    awesome job guyz!!!
    PL 4ever!!
    Lyle without glasses=woot :D

    By Moominator on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 2:05 pm

    Lyle was supposed to tank the adds but there was a misunderstanding because he was looking at Alex’s screen the whole time (wrong screen lol ..cant find it)
    haha no im kidding gud episode :)

    By Wilco on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 2:13 pm

    Is anyone else disappointed that they are running instances where they are clearly overgeared for? I want to see some strategy talk and touch battles.

    Hell, next thing you know they will be running the 80 through stockades.

    By Richard on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 2:13 pm

    This is gonna be a fun series to watch, with some dorkin’s dailies actions in between! just perfect! ^_^

    By Shnoo on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 2:15 pm

    If you look at their armory page.. they are doing just fine in Ulduar…

    By Boneshock on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 2:26 pm

    WTF did happend with Lyle? Did he take an Extreme Makeover? Dude, I didn’t knew it was him before he said something.

    By Me on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 2:37 pm

    Lyle’s uber sexy without his glasses..
    /sigh I miss naxx.

    By DJ DieSeL on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 2:57 pm

    @ Morbeb

    LOL + ROFL + o.O + more LOL

    I thought it was fake, then im like meh w\e lets try, was it the intro with goggins in it? then the “cake by the book” song thing rofl. Good laugh.
    They should show it at the end of the week in the wrap-up!

    By Kagari on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 3:29 pm

    Am I the only one who wishes to see the return of Shnoobins?

    By Slickgrace on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 3:29 pm

    really digging the first episode of the new 6 month long Naxx series! Knowing projectlore ill just come back around thanksgiving when you guys release the KT kill episode.

    jk’in of course but seriously, new formula, one boss an episode would be epic!

    By t440 on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 3:52 pm

    I honestly didn’t recognize Lyle until they called him by name…….it really changes my view on everyone who works at the Daily Planet.

    By Scoobydu101 on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 3:56 pm

    woahnelly! lyle has contacts!

    By Solarphoenix on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 4:07 pm

    There is a reason for being a month behind…so they have time to make videos and keep them coming out on schedule its just like TV every new episode was made weeks to months before you see it that giving them more time to do the other episodes and such (obviously LIVE TV doesn’t count)

    Also BRK has taken a break from WoW for personal matters as someone said on a past episode thread…

    ANYWAYS…Great episode i haven’t done much to get into naxx yet myself (workin on mah alts first) one fight i CAN’T wait to see is definately Razzuvious, though Heigan is a possibility for many jokes and the singing of safety dance and will likely be alot of fun to watch lol

    By Hatell on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 4:23 pm

    I like how at the end Zand and Jeff are talking about DPS and Alex and Lyle are talking about DEing loot. XD

    And Juggy, yes, it’s nice to DPS once in a while. ;) We all need to get a bit-o-killin’ out of our systems, even the healers.

    By Baek on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 4:35 pm

    Nice episode, massive DPS to get him down before the Locust Swarm.

    Lyle didn’t tank the boss because Bastosa is incredibly geared, not that Lyle couldn’t have taken it, it’s just that Bastosa was the better option gear-wise (I happen to play a Paly Tank myself and prefer them as well XD)

    And about the release time it takes for this stuff to come out, this isn’t the only project that they have running. Both Alex and Jeff have the Totaly Rad Show and Josh is a producer down at G4 I believe. So this isn’t the only iron in the fire so to speak. It takes some time to get this stuff done with all that going on. Though I think I noticed a slight audio sync issue in the episode introduction by Alex, just sayin, awesome episode though.

    By Tulaberry on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 4:44 pm

    What are you guys complaining about it dosent matter if they are overgeared for it the aim is to show us video guides and strats im sure they will show uluar but it takes time to edit and they probbobly haven’t cleared uluar yet. They want us to see a full clear not a whole week of them wiping. Hb project lore keep up the good work

    By Seablade on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 5:11 pm

    good job but its kinda hard to watch this when firefox has to be bugged and crash alot

    By Scodia on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 5:30 pm

    Nice to see them doing some content there enjoying i found the CoT episodes kind of flat after they failed the achivement. Contacts lyle? nice, he looks way younger now.
    Perhaps if your disatisfied with PL’s boss amount you should find some more pod casts to watch. Like TRS or Diggnation. All of them feature our favorite guys.

    Keep up the good work PL. Peace from the UK

    By Xeno on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 5:32 pm

    This is kinda funny, considering most of the posters wants\claims to see some Ulduar stuff, forgetting that there are lots of people, like me, whom didnt even step a foot in Naxx.

    So, keep it coming.

    @Alex: confusing UI is confusing.

    By Pegraath on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 5:40 pm

    I forsee a respec for Juggy before Noth if no one else can decurse…

    For those that are new to raiding: The thing is you’re not seeing any strat here. You’re seeing how a heavily geared raid aoe pounds bosses. If you’re just starting Naxx this is no help whatsoever, though you may find it entertaining. Our guild used http://www.tankspot.com ’s raid guides so go there to see how you’re supposed to do the bosses (with narration on videos) when your gear is still Heroic epics and blues. It may make later episodes easier to understand (Thaddius, Gluth, Heigan and 4H in particular) if you’re unfamiliar with Naxx too.

    By Ashleen on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 7:16 pm

    Lyle looks so cute without glasses!

    By oaky on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 7:38 pm

    you guys have a werid Strat we tank him where he starts and run aroudn hte out side so the locust swarm doesnted RAPE THE SHIT OUTTA US

    By Mick on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 10:16 pm

    I have always loved ur prog guys and have found them fun to watch but ‘Hunts don’t bring anything to the raid?’ pfft - yes they do if there BM. The way me and my pet is spec i give a 10% dps to all raid members. Surv and MM are selfish not BM Hunts.

    I wish ppl would remember this before hit on the every few BMs left in WoW.

    By Moominator on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 10:34 pm

    @ Solarphoenix

    Who is BRK ? not quite following as i dont remember most of the guys rl names..

    By Lil ole me on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 10:56 pm

    I personally prefer Lyle WITH glasses… but ohwell, I’ll just stick with the husband. ;o)

    Glad to see Naxx, though you guys are way better geared than the PUGs I run with… :oD

    By 5oren on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 11:02 pm

    Yay, awesome show PL!

    Finally some more raid content :D

    I R Gr8 PL fan!!!

    By Merowack (Doomhammer) on Monday, April 20th, 2009 at 11:08 pm

    First of all Jeff. Hunters bring more mana to the party..

    I would point out to: Hunting Party

    And second: if ya want the trash mobs to be harder go into ulduar. :)

    Great thing to do,. easpecially for us virgin raiders who are still on our way to our first lvl 80 and havent started raiding yet, cause til will propperbly be were vi loose our virginity,. ;) so thanks for the help :D

    By Torage on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 2:33 am

    WOW you ownd him fast lol.

    my guild got the 20min ahcievment for the wing but i dont think we have ever killed him before the frist swarm.

    By Antonio on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 3:03 am

    nice one gang.

    By neelhtak on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 5:56 am

    What are the addons that Zand is using? Especially the one with the large pictures with the countdown timer.

    Thanks.

    By Anomys on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 6:51 am

    awesome

    By Unformed8 on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 7:49 am

    Amm… whose that one guy tanking?

    It’s strange to see Lylovette without glasses…. he’s seems more confident and aggressive but not as calm and intelligent =P

    By FritzTheCat on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 8:33 am

    Lyle without glasses - big deal. Notice how he had to lean forward to read the loot? Poor guy - contacts always make me miss my glasses.

    I am a little dissappointed they brought the rofl-stomp crew with them - yes, naxx is too easy, but it shouldn’t be THAT easy, especially for ProjectLore!

    By GreeM on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 8:57 am

    Why do I love ProjectLore doing Kara and Naxx :)) love to watch them!!

    By Vladut on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 10:41 am

    Hi!I am a boy 14 years old from Romania.I love you guys you are the best!i watched all the episodes from 1 to Naxxramas.I want to tell you that when i was leveling i saw Kel’thuzad as non-instance boss in BOREAN TUNDRA.I asked myself what the hell is he doing there??

    By warzhinsky on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 10:43 am

    what is this song the where singing?
    “Focus on bastosa! if you want to bake a pretty cake!”

    @ Morbeb

    Pure, unadulterated win.

    LMAO wow!

    Brandon the speaker is beast

    By Nehor on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 3:00 pm

    I agree with others on 2 counts. It is nice to see Naxx, but this could take awhile if you are just doing one boss an episode. Doing 2 bosses an episode would be a nice compromise. No need to stretch something out that does not need to be. I think everyone would agree that we do not mind longer episodes.

    By Saeth on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 4:11 pm

    Great stuff guys!

    my guild is just about to start running naxx regularly (we’re a little slow i know) and i am gonna reccomend the naxx vids to the guildies who havent run yet. personally ive only run 3/4 of it once before (fell short on 4horse) so it will be good for me to learn the strats too, being a healer u can usually get away with not knowing them to well…

    great vids, looking forward to the rest of naxx soon

    By giuliocc on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 5:01 pm

    Great video’s.. but we can’t see the action the player’s action bar because the video player blocks the view.. can you guys fix this ?

    Helps with understanding what action bar sequence players are using…

    By Branderen on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 5:45 pm

    DAM! so many comments! nice vid u guys TY for showng Naxx. Keep it up!

    -Brand

    By Josh on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 6:51 pm

    Fantastic vid!

    I can appreciate the fact that you guys have to take your time over releasing these vids but they’ve helped me so much in my gaming, really looking forwards to the next one :D

    Greetings from England btw, dunno if you guys have many cross Atlantic viewers :D.

    Vek’nilash EU FTW XD

    By brownkid on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 7:24 pm

    @Vladut

    dude wi-fives! im 14 as well
    I dont think they’ll need a whole week to do arachnid quarter seeing as there is an achievement for doing the quarter in under 20 mins
    Should just get on to the next quarter to finish naxx fast and then go on to ohh i don’t know……..
    ULDUAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    By Jalo on Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009 at 12:11 am

    You guys tank the boss different to the way i learnt to tank it where you tank it around the room on the side bits near the googey stuff. I just joined a new raiding guild and they’ve just done it the way you did but most of them are all in the top gear wise for they spec/classes. So for people just starting out in naxx make sure to learn the other way first until all you guys get geared up enough to nuke kill it

    By Bonesplinter on Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009 at 12:33 am

    Lol. I like how you guys are showing 10 man Naxx, when 3/4 of the raid are in 25 man gear.
    Great vid, get some Ulduar done!

    By Sharphawk on Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009 at 11:10 pm

    Hey project lore, They have changed the trash now ulduar trash is HARD.

    By jens on Thursday, April 23rd, 2009 at 12:05 pm

    who’s the Dk ? cant really see .. which ? is it Wymordius or Isra ?

    or is it even Mordeb ?

    By Lorelys on Tuesday, April 28th, 2009 at 7:41 am

    Has any one every noticed that they all have similar “hair dos”? just an observation.

    wow….but yall need druids!! :P

    By Wuggy on Tuesday, April 28th, 2009 at 11:39 pm

    Yeah, the thing you talked about trash. As said couple of times before, the ulduar trash is way harder than any in Ulduar. I’m not lying, some of the trash is actually harder than most of Naxxramas 10 or 25 man bosses.

    By wtf on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 at 6:56 am

    Is this a fag show?? damn

    By fizzle-fear on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 at 1:39 pm

    ^such a constructive comment there ‘wtf’

    nice to see you all are doing naxx, I have done a little of it but mostly I pvp, so it is nice to at least see the content.

    nice reference to pulp fiction btw

    Isn’t Anub’ Arak (don’t know if I spelt that right) in 3 instances? Azjol-Nerub, Naxxramas, and ToC/ToGC?

    By Conxcore on Saturday, January 9th, 2010 at 8:39 pm

    @Slvr2th It’s no Anub’Arak in Naxx, it’s Anub’Rekhan

    By Conxcore on Saturday, January 9th, 2010 at 8:39 pm

    p.s. I miss naxx :(
