first off all...they're clickers, secondly what's the point of watching lvl 70s in karazhan gear totally pwn'ing hellfire ramparts on normal...
Why don't you try reading...Nuff' said

"... Project Lore is all about putting the best multimedia MMORPG game guides in one place."
You know, I just watched the first few minutes of Episode One. That is perhaps entertainment, but not a usable guide to Ramps.
Someone entering Ramps for the first time isn't going to have learned anything about the pat that walks the first bridge, the group hidden around the corner to the right, how to time that pull to avoid the dog pat, or the fact that the fel orc in the middle of the shadowcasters is immune to CC. Most importantly, they don't know that the houndmaster has to be taken out asap because of his adds.
In short, a group of fresh 60s with no prior knowledge of Ramps who watches this video is going to wipe at least once before the first boss. t looks to me like they're more interested in the (arguably lame) commentary of the players than the guide.

This hunter is terrible. Who uses aimed shot as a BM hunter after the combat has started? You get more damage out of just using your steady/auto rotation in the same period of time. (See Below)
Also: Get a talent point out of improved mend pet and get your full Frenzy. Your pet is about 1/3 of your damage total, why wouldn't you max him out?
i was under the impression that 4/5 frenzy is all you need to keep it up near full time, with the 5th point being just overkill. granted i haven't raided full time on my hunter, but most guides that i've read indicate that...plus mend pet is quite handy esp in 5 mans where your pet is most likely not receiving a chain heal/circle of healing save
the aimed shot thing though i agree with - it stops your auto shot timer, and really doesnt add much damage...its fine as an opener if u really want to use it, but once you start shooting...
I take it neither of you actually have a hunter or don't know how to spec, as a BM hunter you don't use Aimed Shot BUT, you use that talent that comes after it....

I was disappointed. I was expecting mostly game play footage, but there's more of people in it with beer and arguing about who rolled need on a lvl 61 green. Um, you didn't do the whole instance? Do steam vaults or shadow labrynth or shattered halls on normal. I don't think you guys could do heroics if you wanted to. Hahaha. Good luck with that though.

what is exactly they are trying to show? how nice their PC's are? I wasn't entertained at all, and much of my reasons were already exposed. but I want to add something to the discussion... they say they didn't knew what they were going to do, if it's gonna work or not, what will the reactions be, etc, etc. COME ON! lvl 70's kara gear and they doubt they can run heroic? or we don't deserve such a great effort from the beginning?
I say they redo this Ramps run before moving to heroic BF!

I'm afraid this isn't of much value. Their constant chatter sets a nice atmosphere but it's not comedy and the strategy part is sloppy. So far to me it's only "four guys and a sentient speaker playing WoW". If that's supposed to be the essence of this, then I don't think it'll be interesting to see for every 5 man dungeon in TBC.
Maybe I just missed the point of this but it's neither amusing nor entertaining nor sufficiently educational. They got the lore decently ok but that comprises 30 seconds of this video.
What I think they should do is:
* Go heroic for the next instance, it's hard for a 5 man level 70 group to *not* steamroll Ramparts and I'd say the same for Blood Furnace.
* Be less nonchalant about the specifics of difficult pulls and boss abilities. I mean come on, they couldn't even count the casters right, they didn't mention the Mortal Wound of Gargolmar, they didn't mention that the felhunters burn mana, and it was only briefly hinted that Nazan shoots fire as you fight Vazruden. This is of course assuming that it *is* supposed to be some sort of strategy guide with a healthy element of casual cackling.
* Keep the speaker. Don't ever reveal him. Good gimmick.

First a quick note to the guys asking what addons are being used, I imagine the one catching your eye is "MetaHUD" - the health/mana bars visible in the middle of the screen and the mod to the buff area is "CT Buffbar", and the one that enhances item tooltips is "Ratings Buster". This may have already been answered, but saw a few guys asking without any answers in the first few pages of the thread, and haven't read the rest, so thought I'd mention it anyway.
I can't believe Wowhead is supporting this trash - poorly geared, unfunny, not exactly skilled players (the talent builds, the poor rotations etc) cracking jokes and burning through old content (I know this has been said before by a load of people, but it needs to be said again).
What is this video supposed to offer players? It is nowhere near tactical enough to qualify as a tutorial (for which you would be far better served with the strat guides written on database sites such as this, or for more complex raid tacs the brilliant guides over at bosskillers), and it isn't entertaining at all. Even if you find their tired jokes funny, all you're doing is watching a few guys %^&* about and make jokes - you may liken this to a sitcom, but they at least have a solid premise, they build up characters and relationships etc in order to do that whole entertainment thing.
On listening to his intro I was thinking; "Hey, this sounds pretty good - a more personal approach to teaching tactics people can actually enjoy watching", but it was woefully misleading, especially the point about "eventually showing you endgame raid content", assuming these aren't just alts and you'd whip out mains in order to go any further than kara (which seems unlikely...), then I'm not exactly sure how you're going to tackle them...
So, fair enough, these guys through whatever means have the funding to put this useless series up, but why would a respectable, well run database+tools site such as Wowhead so actively support what doesn't even seem worthy of a link...
Edit: just checked the rest of the thread, and the addon questions do all seem to have been answered already, but oh well :P
