By mistabones on Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
That mount was crazy! Can’t wait to see more!

I’m so glad to see Jeff back this week. To my opinion he is a better teammate than Goggins, he’s more wit, quiet (I hate noisy people :)) and the paladin is just way more functional for the group. I wish he was there all the time from now on.
By Tim on Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Jeff is freaking hilarious!
By Jeff on Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Thanks for the Lich Fix while I’m at work. I visited the Nexus the other day and thought it looked great then. Seeing it from the sky is even more awsome.
Sure there wasn’t any combat today (Lyle still managed to die though), but that’s not what I come to Project Lore to see. It’s 5 guys laughing and having fun playing a game. I loved this episode, and I can’t wait to get home tonight for some more Warcraft.
(The boss is still away, I’m gonna watch it again)
By Rokuro on Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Great as always guys, had me laughing along side with you all. The new mount is amazing, a must have for any grind/farm situation. Can’t wait to see more this week, keep up the laughs~!
By Larna on Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Wow - watching this makes me long for the WotLK expac even more (don’t have it yet - will soon, though). Guys, these videos are awesome and absolutely hilarious. Keep up the good work!

“Imah riding with mah bithces.” <— Epic
Now I just have to find out how to gather up 18999g (I dont even have an epic flying mount yet…)
When I wanna look at the northrend map, I just glance below my mouse and see the beautiful map there.
I am really gonna enjoy every single bit of the xpac, and getting to lvl 80 along the way.
By Nylow on Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
i was able to get a free port to Dalaran from a friendly mage and it had the mount listed at 20K (was it less to do Rep?). Not that it really matters since it will take forever to get that kind of Gold.
not overly impressed with vid. Cool to see mount and a little flying, but geez 18min and not even one trash pull? What gives guys?
Hopefully wednesday’s vid is longer or at least has a boss kill in it.
By Thunder on Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
I am a fan of the show. I got turned onto Project Lore around episode 3, and have had been subscribed through itunes and watching everyday ever since then.
Having said that, this was crap. i just watched like 10 minutes or so of nothing. Nothing happened.
Seeing the multi-passenger mammoth in action, cool. Seeing some of the landscape in Northrend, also cool. Worth dedicating an entire episode to? I think not.
Just my opinion. I love the show, but here’s hoping that subsequent episodes are better.
By Pauldy on Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Mammoth cool, the rest meh. I would enjoy it more if each episode led to a boss kill.
By Shinanagins on Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
i loved this episode seeing everything i could really care less if u do instances.
Also wat u should do is make a vid of drdark leveling up his rogue. cause i miss his rogue
By Lindahl on Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
Well guys,
Im totaly down with ya chilled style and humor!
If every episode was the same it would simply get boring.
Showing out WotLK like this - “I love it”.
Keep on going.
wow gamer, Denmark
By Trevor D Wade on Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
So, I read the Nexus everyday and watch this as it updates. I JUST find out you guys were Gauchos?
Awesome. KEep ti real guys, come back here and do a guest lecture some time.
By JadedDeath on Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Zan has a sweet shirt.
By Gamit on Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Haha, Hilarious Episode.
Keep up the good work! =D
By Kamakami on Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Goggins were are you i need to hear your songs again
By unclechuchu on Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Every time you say Burning Crusades it burns my ears, but then you soothe them with your quick wit and silly mannerisms.
By Urza on Monday, November 17th, 2008 at 11:04 pm
Is it just me or did the community update from last week and this episode not make it onto the subscription feeds?
By Kris ! :D on Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 at 7:34 am
I cant watch this ;S wtf
By Noobalicious on Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 at 8:14 am
ignore the complainers
I come here to be entertained as well as informed.
This vid filled the entertainment part
By Joe on Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 at 11:49 am
I don’t know what everyone is complaining about, I thought this was one of your funniest episodes yet…I don’t care if you make more videos like this….it was really funny and I thoroughly enjoyed it
By Twest on Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Regards to the “MD Focus Macro” comment. You can keep firing on your target while popping MD on the Tank w/o having to switch target to tank, if of course you have your UI set up in a manner that allows it. I have started using nUI which gives me 3 options for display, solo, party, and raid. Very nice UI.
By Jason on Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
by far the funniest episode, good job guys!
Best part was Lyle dismounting
By Nublet on Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
I don’t know why, but I feel guilty for not wanting Jeff to leave…poor Goggins.
Great episode btw and these were jsut put on the feed @ Urza
By josh on Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
goggins needs to stay on the disney channel or whatever. Down with goggins
By Toomsie on Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 at 12:07 am
I like Jeff. He is a really fun guy.
But I miss Jerry :((((
By Nlin on Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 at 3:02 am
Hej DrDark!
I have a better eplenation what focus is. Focus is actually a kind of memory slot of one of the things you like to target. It’s mostly used in situations where you are indeed targetting a mob/boss and need to target someone in your raid quickly. Focus, or the use of it, originated from the time that there were no raid icons, it was in the beginning of the game were you had to have a Main Assist. The MA actually decided what target to be taken down first. Now in the group all damage dealers had mostly a macro to target the target of the MA (so they could start nuke the heck out of the primary target). Now to make that easy they made a macro something along:
/focus [modifier:shift] target
/target [modifier:alt] focus
/target [nomodifier:shift/alt] targettarget
(if shift clicked the button, the player would put the focus, on the MA in the is example, if you press the button than again you would target the target of the MA, if alt-clicked you would target the Focus)
So mostly you use indeed macros to work with focus.
Good examples would be:
* Hunters that have the MT on focus so that they can MD anytime without the hassle of retargeting. They can just make a macro to MD on their MD
Example code of what I use as a hunter :
#showtooltip misdirection
/focus [modifier:shift, exists] target
/stopmacro [modifier:shift]
/cast [target=focus, help] misdirection; [help] misdirection; [target=pet, exists] misdirection
/ra Misdirecting %t to %f
(again shit is the modifier to set the focus, it auto casts md on the focus (the tank in this case) if no focus is set, it casts MD on my pet)
* Now one for you DrDark. You can make a macro that if you sheep at the beginning of a pull that you as well make that target your focus. Now you can start to fight without any problem and in the middle of the fight press your same macro button and without you having to find where your sheep went… You can just resheep it:
#showtooltip [target=focus,harm] [] Polymorph
/stopcasting
/clearfocus [modifier:shift][target=focus,dead][target=focus,noexists]
/focus [target=focus,noexists]
/cast [target=focus] Polymorph
A normall click sheeps your target and makes it it focus, than you can just fight. A normall click again makes your focus being sheeped again. Need to sheep another target? Use shift + click on that macro and voila your focus is on another mob and that mob is instant-sheep. (It also drops the focus if the mob should be dead or no longer exists)
(all code snippets from wowwiki)
PS;
All codes have the modifier shift for mostly setting the target I like to have my middle mousebutton for that, just replace [modifier:shift] with: [button:3]

Goggins is my least favourite guy on the show. Keep Jeff!
Also I want to see Brandon.
By Oji on Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 at 5:29 am
On the topic of Focus, even though this episode was made in Wrath Beta.
Pre-LK focus gave you, as mentioned, a “second target”. You had to have an addon to actually get your focused target frame up Pre-LK. But with 3.0 Blzzard gave us their own Focus frame which appears when you set a focus (which is now accessible via the right-click menu on the target).
Focus helps in various ways to various people. For example, DrDark could Focus on a caster mob, DPS some other random schmuck, and Kick/Blind the caster if he sees a cast bar going (with a similar type of macro explained by BigWang). Likewise Mages, Shamans, Death Knights, Warriors and even Paladins can do the same with their version of spell interrupts.
Another way it helps mages is to keep an eye on your Sheep/Turtle/Penguin/Piggy and being able to recast Polymorph on said target without having to switch targets.
For LyleLovette, it can be a convenience with refreshing Vigilance. Set focus on your healer, zap the macro (/cast [target=focus] Vigilance) and carry on tanking.

Dude like always great episode, and like Jeff said sure there wasn’t any combat but there is other content then just combat but the best is to see the fun and laughing. This game shouldn’t be takin too seriously and should be about fun that’s why I play and have been for 2 years and that’s why my highest is a 53 but of course if I stopped makin new char’s and just lvl’d one im sure i’d have well been 70 by now. I have a char on Executus but he’s too low and i’m not on him enough to do anything. Maybe i’ll get a druid and bring him over since that one class i haven’t seen u guys play and it’s my favorite. You guys also should make some hordies or start a Horde RAD guild tha’d be awesome too. It was actually kinda sad seeing ppl 2 two after launch gettin realm first 80’s but anyways have fun guys and keep up the good work. Oh and yes I do like Jeff Cannata over Jerry Trainor AND I’d watch more Totally RAD Show if it wasnt for the seriously lame Dan Trachtenberg.
By fiash on Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
This episode was just awesome
By Josh on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 12:58 am
Pretty much my favorite episode ever.
By Thurogh on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Yup, favorite episode. Hilarious! I wish Jerry all the best in hollywood. There’s far more Levity in the group now.
As per the ppl that said they have problems watching it, I couldn’t get the last few minutes. It’d just reset to the beginning even though the bar showed fully cached. I think there might be issues with the new flash versions floating around. After a rebuild i had to grab flash 10 and i’ve had nothing but odd viewing issues since. Not just with this site. Each Flash update gets better though. Keep up the good work Guys!
