The fact he says it without even thinking too much about it makes it much more geniune. Hopefully I still dont have kids. I can still burn it all and try to live the life i want
I always done that when I Played WoW too, anygame in truth I like to "Record" moments to remember later, or to show to Someone He must've Through The same
I play FF14 and these screenshot streams inspired me to do the same. Boomers say videogames are a waste of time, because they don't understand that you *can* have genuine, positive experiences within a videogame, even moreso with MMOs where social interaction with other people is inevitable.
yes, basicaly what you see in any company , where certain people would do anything, backstab anyone just to get what they want, thats asmongold. its fun to watch him, he can tell the story wel, without shame, but if you think about it, he is not someone you wanna be friends with honestly, he is a very low lifer without any principals
You can't help but respect how down to Earth Asmon really is. Man could afford a mansion and a wardrobe full of Gucci but instead lives with his Mom and wears the same shirt for 15 years.
Probably because he doesn’t care what people think of him, like why would he buy luxuries if he doesn’t need them. Man just plays videogames and enjoys his day.
To move out into the world and to take care of oneself can also be respectable. I think sometimes Asmon's money distracts people from the kinds of limitations he might still face. But I do respect him though. And I love his stream.
I did only played WotLK and it was EPIC! Just like Asmon is telling. It was for the community and progression that you will never ever find again in a game.
@@jeffmcintosh209 Completely agree man, can't exactly put it into words how great the content and community was. Missed that so much so I started playing Classic BC/Wotlk, while I did meet and made new friends, it just didn't match up to my experience in the past.

@@thespaceelefant2441 I find it a comforting thing to watch in the background and decided to highlight some moments :) turns out there's a lot of good ones
I lost my Mother 2 years ago. Watching this and hearing about all of the wonderful times Asmon had playing WoW with his mom make me both overjoyed and makes my heart hurt. So amazing.
His good "relationship" with his mom was obviously only surface level only . Guaranteed that is why now the dude even with money can't land a stable relationship with a woman. This clown has shamed fat people and smokers when those are two of the biggest contributing factors to her death. May her soul rest in peace. Harsh but true.
Do you understand how weird it is to assume intimate comprehension of a relationship between a guy you do not know, and a women youve never even seen. Do you know how weird it is to feel that way about a stranger, but still click on his videos. Do you also eat foods you dont like? Do you know how weird it is to feel that way, click the video, and then go into the comments. Find a nice comment enjoying a nice moment, and just do the internet equivalent of pooping in the middle of the room. Why are you the way you are? You should stop.
Man all the stories about your mom and how integral she was to your experience really got me. I couldn't turn away. Started playing wow the day wrath came out, 6 months after my mom died. Almost 16 years and half my life later I still spend as much time as possible in azeroth.
@@juggbot4572 it will seem to get easier at times, then other times it will feel like it just happened. Allow yourself the grace to feel what you feel, time doesn't heal everything.
I’m more impressed he’s still got them after all these years, I’ve lost so much stuff over the years it’s insane. Including all my music when I formatted n forgot to take it off the windows drive 🥲
It's insane, I'm now a "grown" man with kids and a great career. But fuck, the release of WOTLK was one of the best times of my life. I remember stepping onto that boat in Stormwind like it was yesterday, power leveling like hell. Didn't eat, only power napped and totally went for 80! Still somehow one of my best experiences ever in my entire life. You had to be there...
Yeah BC and WotLK were peak WoW. I played Classic too but not that seriously. Only started getting really into it when BC came out and somehow got into the best PvP guild on the server that was for 18+ when I was 14 lol. Ended up playing a lot of Arena and open world PvP. I made pretty close friends in that game while I was bullied in school but online people looked up to me because I had 2200 ratings. We had a lot of fun and all loved the PvP videos people like Neilyo and Reckful released and it kinda pioneered what we all know today on TH-cam and Twitch. It was a amazing time in my life despite my struggles. I played both expansions excessively start to finish but I felt like the game was slowly losing something and Cataclysm somehow disappointed me that I quit it 2-3 times until I finally did for good.
@@BoppersGames I'm 28 so yup it's that age group. I think age is a big part of why people loved WoW but Blizzard fell off too and player numbers tell the same story. I think WoW had the chance to continue being as popular... but it didn't. During that time WoW really was a big part of the internet and it was before social media really started...
Man, watching this video makes me really happy. Seeing how happy Asmon gets when talking about him and his friends all playing together and watching old videos really resonates and hits home with me. It reminds of the good ol days in OG WoW/Wrath when my brother and I would play for hours on end on our dinky little E Machines Computer from Walmart with the graphics all the way down and still lag and get d/c'd. My brother passed away last December (2021) from a Drug Overdose and it just makes me remember the times when everything was so innocent and pure. How things change, how life changes... Man, if I could go back I would cherish the moments more than I did. Thank you for this video, Asmon. I didn't expect to be this happy watching this.
Ye, Asmon actually created events that motivate people to play the game. Blizzard obviously don't have to honor him, but the fact that they blame him for their own mistakes and spit on him is disgusting. I like Blizzard games, but the leadership in Blizzard is mind boggling.
Some day I'll blow the dust from my old hard drive. Set up my old PC.. And tell my kids about the legendary times I had playing WoW. 12 years later, I'm still friends with some of my old guild mates. This time is something I never felt again, playing other games. Holy fuck this game actually used to be so good.
I think wrath was the last game release I actually went to a store for, it was amazing. Me and 5 of my friends went to the store that held an event at 1am. There were like 200 nerds in line and we were given pizza slices for free while we waited. There were even news reporters and I was featured on video. My friends and I were out by like 3am and went for burgers before returning home to play for a week straight. Man, what an experience.. good times.
My mom took me to gamestop to buy it but they only had collector editions. I was sad because I figured it was too expensive but my mom bought it anyway. Best mom ever
i really liked how chat was actually behaving for the most part and reacting nicely to sweet moments of zack and his mom, really warms my heart that the community can be nice when it wants to.
remember each twitch streamer builds up their own communities. Asmons one is with a bunch of degen neckbeards that call each other little biiieches and love to smack talk but we all have our heart in the right place when it comes down to the real things in life
@@ChickenJoe-tq6xdYeah I’m in the military (not the air Force) all we do is work out and shoot guns. The Bobby thing is true. Stops you from being degenerate.
Started playing WoW in 2005. Made tons of friends online. Joined the best guild in my server as a Moonkin of all things. Made an awesome Druid best friend on the other side of the country. My best friend and I eventually met in real life, fell in love and we got married. We are together until this day. Two Druids in love forever and ever... ❤🔥🐆🐆❤🔥
I probably haven't watched more than 10 minutes of Asmongold content but to see the genuine joy from a man that enjoys WoW, this made the 3 hours fly by. This shows how much one person can love a period of time and have such a clarity that they can remember details and people during that time. It's amazing!
@@JackChop They might be being a bit hyperbolic but it certainly would have presented other challenges. Seemed like she needed a decent amount of care and stability, without stream being so lucrative and allowing Asmon to be within arms reach, life would have been considerably harder. Asmon is a good son and they seemed to have a really strong bond. Rest in peace, Asmom.
Hands fucking down.... this is one of the ABSOLUTE BEST MMO Game/IRL Stories I've seen narrated and streamed, ever!! The way you slap down your personal chapters and weave it into the day to day with your boyz [and gurlz] in the game, and move across time, the special moments with your Mom and Dad, the entire guild being burned to ashes, then later rising from it like a Phoenix to live once again.. these are stories that create LEGENDS for our Industry. Gotta be honest here bro, some of this got me teary-eyed and slammed with the feels, and many good laughs as well! Maybe in 5 years you can do a new "IRL Rehash" that involves a new MMO or something of note. As always, keep it real, keep doin' what you do cause' it's the good stuff! 😉👍
"I had joined the best guild and I was ready, excited, and prepared. I had graduated high school, I was taking one class at community college, the stage was set for greatness. The stage was set for degeneracy. I was living with my mother, I had no girlfriend, no job, I was hardly going to school and my life had never been better. I was so happy."
One of the greatest mother and son bonds of gaming history. 1:30:20 just makes me tear up to hear this. he and his mom sharing their wow experience together, and as a mother does, she passes on the reins of the raven lord for him. Could he tell this story again without breaking down? Because it sure is hard to hear it
Pretty crazy how WoTLK was such a huge part of people's lives. One of my best friends got me into WoW during that expac and so much of our time revolved around WoW, its a massive nostalgia hit to hear Asmon talk about these times. I see many parallels to my life back in the good ol' days as well.
You ABSOLUTELY should do a series interviewing as many of the old Overdose players as you can. I'd love to watch an hour long interview with Cora, STPali, Reg, etc. etc.
we need to take a minute to appreciate Asmon's ability for storytelling. I started this saying "oh shit 3 hours im not gonna watch the whole thing" and here i am 3 hours later.
It is INSANE how I could go almost a decade without playing this game. But I still remember and got a huge wave of nostalgia when the Grizzly Hills music started playing. Even the fact I remember the name is insane to me.
I feel you also for the clanmates who died.....my bestfriend died in a motorcycle accident going at his job one morning.......he was me bestfriend in real life, we where always lanning together playing Lineage 2......This guy was a real warrior, in heart, in life and in-game also.....R.I.P Paul. I will always remember your nickname: D4rKst4R A.K.A Darky........one love brotha.
This brings back so many memories of raiding with my friends, and how great things were. It was the best xpac for me not because of raiding, not from the story, and certainly not the pvp. It was the xpac I made the best memories in. The xpac I had a raid guild of nothing but friends. It wasn't always good times, and drama happened, too, but I absolutely cherish those memories I made in retail Wrath.
Can totally relate with the happiness he feels just with a different game. Every game has that period where it is PERFECT. Make private servers of that stage and invite friends. It´s possible and feels like a time machine.
33:53 got me crying so hard, asmon is a warrior ingame and a warrior irl... my mom started forgetting who i was and her healths declining and asmon gives me hope that ill be okay cause we have the same history and relationships with our moms my moms always been my bestfriend and ive been taking care of her since i was 12. much love, peace and blessings to asmon and his fam/friends and mom
I’m so glad he has all these great memories playing his favorite game at the time with his mom. It’s a bit more sad watching it after his mom passed but also heartwarming to hear him tell these stories of him and his mom. RIP Asmon’s mom.
I wish I was passionate this much about a game, the fact he can remember so many tiny details from just screenshots alone. Also huge ❤ to his mom for being a supportive gamer chadess
He's so good at story telling. Gosh, I sat through this entire video in one sitting, and heck, it was worth it. Thank you Asmon, looking forward to your Cata video! ^_^
The fondest memory of wotlk was the release of Ulduar. I remember having a crazy dream about it and the next day woke up early and had to wait until it was released. I had a level 80 death knight and rogue and went into Ulduar like right when it came out. One of the best times of my life.
When I miss the old days I love coming back to this video to make me feel good . You capture how it used to feel so well . Glad I was there too . Wonderful memories
It’s wild how u can recall all these moments, happy for ya what a ride. As a person who hasn’t played wow, this is an epic tale to get the complete breakdown of the times and how it went down. Cheers beast master
Just watched the whole video. I never played WotLK but I felt the same love for EverQuest in 2003-2005. I would give up my leg to have that love and passion for a video game again. Going to bed at night, excited to wake up and play again the next (or same) day. Building real friendships in game. I really miss it.
Asmon's arc with Cora ended up being so awesomely wholesome considering how toxic it started, lol. From giving her shit in raid about not bringing acorns to clearing heroic Lich King together just before Cata came out. You love to see it.
I would kill for just ONE picture of my favorite times in gaming--COD4, WaW, MW2, Halo 3, Gears of War days. Amazing that you have so many pictures Asmon, this was so cool to watch!
this man really knows how to speak, i'm nowhere near nerdy enough to understand all of it but I'm sticking through the full 3 hours just because of how great he is at telling the whole thing.
Wrath was THE best time in WoW, and that magic can never be recreated, but this story certainly brings back great memories of when WoW was the greatest MMO on the planet. Great video bud
@@AOETAUNT ff14 is just a game. WoW was an alternate reality, a metaverse and THE game. There hasn't been a single MMO to this day that could compete against WoW's prime between 2004-2010.
I come here atleast once a month and pay my dues to a wow legend. Hearing asmongolds story telling really helps me with my random anxiety/ panic attacks. It’s something I’ll never be able to repay him for and I’m thankful.
Fellow severe anxiety/panic attack/ptsd sufferer and I know the pain and suffering you deal with. I’ve been dealing with it for over 7 years. It’s so miserable, asmon with a few other streamers I watch daily to help with mine. Keep pushing, I take meds but they don’t help much. It can be so hard somedays. -stranger who actually cares and feels your pain.
@@feo130 I do every single day I’m 198 lb 6’2 ft tall. I’m also a mechanic so my job is quite the workout everyday as well. I had some serious trauma go on when I was young and it changed me forever unfortunately.
So many good memories. It is mindboggling how Blizzard does not understand that Asmongold on others alike have spent more time playing their product than most of their developers developing the game and not see it as the greatest freaking opportunity. Whatever the product or company this level of dedication and passion should never go unappreciated.
Man, if the health of your mom does allow it, i´d really like to see a stream where both of you do some stuff. It´s always so wholesome when you tell mom stories.
@baluga senpai read the original post bruh. TBC and WOTLK were mentioned only, nothing about Cata. But hey, you just gotta be That Guy now eh ? L2troll
I am reasonably sure that is your nostalgia goggles talking. But dont worry, thats fine, everyone has their best gaming time that will never come again
Man, WoW back in the day was too fun. Whenever I got back it is not even close to the same experience, which im not expecting it to be. The people you met and played with just made it so much more enjoyable. Really enjoy seeing asmons experience. Wish i saved a bunch of memories like he did. Also his mom seems like a sweetheart, really good soul.
Watching all of this was so nostalgic. Happy to have experience this game in its prime during WoLK, but I can’t help having a sense of sadness over it all knowing I will never experience something like this again. For a 15 year old kid fresh into high school having no real responsibilities, obligations, or priorities I played WoW until I had to go to school at 6am and I agree with asmon, it was pure bliss and one of the happiest times of my life.
Hearing Zak talk about his memories of WoTLK, really makes me miss those days. It brought alot of my own memories back listening to him talk about his. Thank you Zak.
Honestly I’m feeling nostalgic as f without even having played in wrath. This is what I’d wish wow was like today. It sounds like u really had the time of your life, and I envy that.
I'm trying so hard to listen to his story but my god man I am just straight up mesmerized by this man's eyebrows. They're just so animated and all over the place. I feel like I'm watching a cartoon character for a Behind the Music documentary.
i've probably listened to this story and the tbc one almost 100 times by now and they never get old. asmon is such a fantastic story teller. i love listening to these while im doing boring stuff in WoW, idk why but it keeps me motivated.
I can speak to the feeling, I remember preordering Wotlk and then the excitement, raiding was incredibly fulfilling, I loved raiding as a main tank and my healer.The countless hours spent on ventrilo(basically discord in the early 2000s)together as a guild joking, laughing, having fun and enjoying the challenge. It’s a feeling I’ve never been able to replicate since, feeling like a genuine team where each person was skilled and knew their job and worked hard together for a common goal. In those moments you could feel a true bond and true friendship, for many these were the only friends they may have had. It was truly an experience I’ve not seen again in any form, after Cataclysm the game shifted into something different, which is fine however it seems largely this experience comes from the time period and technology available and the unprecedented nature of WoW at the time, nothing else even came close.
Amazing how he remembers so small details and even conversations 15 years back, and how his memories and exleriences in computer game are cooler than mine in irl
I was in 3rd grade when wow came out. A ton of kids were playing it as well as the adults. It’s no question how huge this game was at its time. Sad to see where it’s at today.
2:21:57 I feel the same way man. I was in highschool during wrath. Some of the best moments of my life happened then. All the friends I made and all the drama. I would give my leg to relive it
amazing you kept these screenshots all this time and could tell such a great story. Made me relive my OG wrath days, every guild had someone like aeeline lmao
I've really enjoyed these flashback stories. Nice work, as always. It's pretty cool to see how all these events impacted you as a person and as a player. Again, great job.
I dropped 80 dollars on retail due to this guy. I learned that it's best for me to just enjoy the stories surrounding WoW as opposed to getting into the automated mess it has become.
“I had no job, no girlfriend, lived with my mom, barely went to school. Greatest time of my life.”
Facts
made me spill my beer over 90000
The fact he says it without even thinking too much about it makes it much more geniune. Hopefully I still dont have kids. I can still burn it all and try to live the life i want
Opinions.
IRL friend dumped his g/f so he could spend more time playing WoW and MtG, thats dedication lol
Facts lmao
I fucking love how he made so many screenshots of random ass shit, without having any idea how big of personality he would be in WoW.
He is the embodiment of WoW
I always done that when I Played WoW too, anygame in truth
I like to "Record" moments to remember later, or to show to Someone
He must've Through The same
I play FF14 and these screenshot streams inspired me to do the same.

If there's one thing I learned about Asmongold from this video, it's this:
He did what he needed to do.
Missed that part 😂
and that's what he did
yes, basicaly what you see in any company , where certain people would do anything, backstab anyone just to get what they want, thats asmongold. its fun to watch him, he can tell the story wel, without shame, but if you think about it, he is not someone you wanna be friends with honestly, he is a very low lifer without any principals

@@sanelb1147 Huh where do you take that from that hes a backstabber?
Never played WoW but I’m captivated with this guy’s ability to tell a great story.
If you would like to try classic wotlk then I recommend to wait for classic release :) might be actually fun to play
Or just play a fake server like warmane then you don't have to throw away cash
Same. I played Warcraft 3 back in the day and the art style never appealed to me. Tried classic when it was re-released and couldn’t get into it.
I played it for a few weeks to a month when it first came out. Couldn’t see what everyone thought was so great about it, so I didn’t keep playing.
if you wanna play a mmo thats not killing its self play GW2
You can't help but respect how down to Earth Asmon really is. Man could afford a mansion and a wardrobe full of Gucci but instead lives with his Mom and wears the same shirt for 15 years.
Probably because he doesn’t care what people think of him, like why would he buy luxuries if he doesn’t need them. Man just plays videogames and enjoys his day.
I’d do the same if I had a job that would probably disappear in less than a decade you need to save as much as you can
@@selloutman5911 This right here and also hes more appealing to his audience like this, and if he doesnt even care, props to him .
@@bzhmhlv cause he is his audience well all the true wowers
To move out into the world and to take care of oneself can also be respectable. I think sometimes Asmon's money distracts people from the kinds of limitations he might still face. But I do respect him though. And I love his stream.
Every so often I come back to this video to get a grasp of the true WoW experience I never had
Same but for the WoW experience I only dipped my toes in.
same I'm a classic vanilla baby,
I did only played WotLK and it was EPIC! Just like Asmon is telling. It was for the community and progression that you will never ever find again in a game.

You had to be there...
Yeah BC and WotLK were peak WoW. I played Classic too but not that seriously. Only started getting really into it when BC came out and somehow got into the best PvP guild on the server that was for 18+ when I was 14 lol. Ended up playing a lot of Arena and open world PvP. I made pretty close friends in that game while I was bullied in school but online people looked up to me because I had 2200 ratings. We had a lot of fun and all loved the PvP videos people like Neilyo and Reckful released and it kinda pioneered what we all know today on TH-cam and Twitch. It was a amazing time in my life despite my struggles. I played both expansions excessively start to finish but I felt like the game was slowly losing something and Cataclysm somehow disappointed me that I quit it 2-3 times until I finally did for good.
I've chosen to stay there. Except I have a job and live on my own, I live like Asmon.
@@BoppersGames 33, so not far off. ;)
@@BoppersGames I'm 28 so yup it's that age group. I think age is a big part of why people loved WoW but Blizzard fell off too and player numbers tell the same story. I think WoW had the chance to continue being as popular... but it didn't. During that time WoW really was a big part of the internet and it was before social media really started...
I feel the same way with games like Halo 3x odst, black ops, mw2 'man so many games!!
Man, watching this video makes me really happy.
Seeing how happy Asmon gets when talking about him and his friends all playing together and watching old videos really resonates and hits home with me.
It reminds of the good ol days in OG WoW/Wrath when my brother and I would play for hours on end on our dinky little E Machines Computer from Walmart with the graphics all the way down and still lag and get d/c'd.
My brother passed away last December (2021) from a Drug Overdose and it just makes me remember the times when everything was so innocent and pure.
How things change, how life changes...
Man, if I could go back I would cherish the moments more than I did.
Thank you for this video, Asmon. I didn't expect to be this happy watching this.

I don't play Wow, I didn't back then... but listening to all Asmon's nostalgic stories just makes me feel like I was there all along.

Ye, Asmon actually created events that motivate people to play the game. Blizzard obviously don't have to honor him, but the fact that they blame him for their own mistakes and spit on him is disgusting. I like Blizzard games, but the leadership in Blizzard is mind boggling.
@@multiestonian what did they blame him for ?
Some day I'll blow the dust from my old hard drive. Set up my old PC.. And tell my kids about the legendary times I had playing WoW. 12 years later, I'm still friends with some of my old guild mates. This time is something I never felt again, playing other games. Holy fuck this game actually used to be so good.
I think wrath was the last game release I actually went to a store for, it was amazing. Me and 5 of my friends went to the store that held an event at 1am. There were like 200 nerds in line and we were given pizza slices for free while we waited. There were even news reporters and I was featured on video. My friends and I were out by like 3am and went for burgers before returning home to play for a week straight. Man, what an experience.. good times.

Hands fucking down.... this is one of the ABSOLUTE BEST MMO Game/IRL Stories I've seen narrated and streamed, ever!! The way you slap down your personal chapters and weave it into the day to day with your boyz [and gurlz] in the game, and move across time, the special moments with your Mom and Dad, the entire guild being burned to ashes, then later rising from it like a Phoenix to live once again.. these are stories that create LEGENDS for our Industry. Gotta be honest here bro, some of this got me teary-eyed and slammed with the feels, and many good laughs as well! Maybe in 5 years you can do a new "IRL Rehash" that involves a new MMO or something of note. As always, keep it real, keep doin' what you do cause' it's the good stuff! 😉👍

Could he tell this story again without breaking down? Because it sure is hard to hear it
This is amazing, his storytelling ability is phenomenal.
I love the way Asmond makes everything seem so epic and nostalgic
Pretty crazy how WoTLK was such a huge part of people's lives. One of my best friends got me into WoW during that expac and so much of our time revolved around WoW, its a massive nostalgia hit to hear Asmon talk about these times. I see many parallels to my life back in the good ol' days as well.
You ABSOLUTELY should do a series interviewing as many of the old Overdose players as you can. I'd love to watch an hour long interview with Cora, STPali, Reg, etc. etc.
"I can catch up on sleep when I am dead"
That was a well known motto back in WotLK. Good times! I will never forget that expansion.
we need to take a minute to appreciate Asmon's ability for storytelling. I started this saying "oh shit 3 hours im not gonna watch the whole thing" and here i am 3 hours later.
It is INSANE how I could go almost a decade without playing this game. But I still remember and got a huge wave of nostalgia when the Grizzly Hills music started playing. Even the fact I remember the name is insane to me.

This brings back so many memories of raiding with my friends, and how great things were. It was the best xpac for me not because of raiding, not from the story, and certainly not the pvp. It was the xpac I made the best memories in. The xpac I had a raid guild of nothing but friends. It wasn't always good times, and drama happened, too, but I absolutely cherish those memories I made in retail Wrath.
His mom passed on reins of the dread raven. Almost shed a tear to my eye, that’s wholesome shit
Can totally relate with the happiness he feels just with a different game. Every game has that period where it is PERFECT. Make private servers of that stage and invite friends. It´s possible and feels like a time machine.

The fondest memory of wotlk was the release of Ulduar. I remember having a crazy dream about it and the next day woke up early and had to wait until it was released. I had a level 80 death knight and rogue and went into Ulduar like right when it came out. One of the best times of my life.

Just watched the whole video. I never played WotLK but I felt the same love for EverQuest in 2003-2005. I would give up my leg to have that love and passion for a video game again. Going to bed at night, excited to wake up and play again the next (or same) day. Building real friendships in game. I really miss it.
Asmond is a real one. "I had 4 dollars to my name and I spent 2 of it on a drink." Legend. Love the content bro.
Asmon's arc with Cora ended up being so awesomely wholesome considering how toxic it started, lol.
From giving her shit in raid about not bringing acorns to clearing heroic Lich King together just before Cata came out. You love to see it.

Man, WoW back in the day was too fun. Whenever I got back it is not even close to the same experience, which im not expecting it to be. The people you met and played with just made it so much more enjoyable.
Really enjoy seeing asmons experience. Wish i saved a bunch of memories like he did. Also his mom seems like a sweetheart, really good soul.
Watching all of this was so nostalgic. Happy to have experience this game in its prime during WoLK, but I can’t help having a sense of sadness over it all knowing I will never experience something like this again. For a 15 year old kid fresh into high school having no real responsibilities, obligations, or priorities I played WoW until I had to go to school at 6am and I agree with asmon, it was pure bliss and one of the happiest times of my life.
Hearing Zak talk about his memories of WoTLK, really makes me miss those days. It brought alot of my own memories back listening to him talk about his. Thank you Zak.

Cant believe I just watched 3 hours of Asmon talking about his time in WoW...It was amazing, man...
Every story he has with his mom is so fkn wholesome ;__; i wanna play ffxiv with my mom too
i've probably listened to this story and the tbc one almost 100 times by now and they never get old. asmon is such a fantastic story teller. i love listening to these while im doing boring stuff in WoW, idk why but it keeps me motivated.
3 hours of entertainment while i do my 10 overdue assignments feelsgoodman
I love seeing asmon talk about his mother playing with his guild in nax
I can speak to the feeling, I remember preordering Wotlk and then the excitement, raiding was incredibly fulfilling, I loved raiding as a main tank and my healer.The countless hours spent on ventrilo(basically discord in the early 2000s)together as a guild joking, laughing, having fun and enjoying the challenge.
It’s a feeling I’ve never been able to replicate since, feeling like a genuine team where each person was skilled and knew their job and worked hard together for a common goal. In those moments you could feel a true bond and true friendship, for many these were the only friends they may have had.
It was truly an experience I’ve not seen again in any form, after Cataclysm the game shifted into something different, which is fine however it seems largely this experience comes from the time period and technology available and the unprecedented nature of WoW at the time, nothing else even came close.
Your mom is a literal goddess among moms man
AMOUNG US POGGIESSSS

Amazing how he remembers so small details and even conversations 15 years back, and how his memories and exleriences in computer game are cooler than mine in irl
I cry every time he mentions his mom and how he played with her and you hear how much he loves her. It's why I pray for him too. Cheesy but true.
Every screenshot is like a diary page that he wrote.This is fascinating.
His relationship with his parents is very wholesome and respectable!
I was in 3rd grade when wow came out. A ton of kids were playing it as well as the adults. It’s no question how huge this game was at its time. Sad to see where it’s at today.
2:21:57 I feel the same way man. I was in highschool during wrath. Some of the best moments of my life happened then. All the friends I made and all the drama. I would give my leg to relive it
Same man, truly.
I farmed for weeks ! Getting that money!!! This game destroyed relationships! Lol lol
I don't even play WoW but his story telling and personality makes me so engaged
amazing you kept these screenshots all this time and could tell such a great story. Made me relive my OG wrath days, every guild had someone like aeeline lmao
I remember these days like they where yesterday. If only we could turn back time and experience this for the first time just one more time.
damn that screenshot where he beat reckful and sodah on their mains really hits different now. no spoilers you gotta watch the video for the context.
“This was my job because I had no job” is the funniest quote I’ve heard in awhile
I wish I had a mother I could respect as much as asmon does. Seems like such an important relationship
watch asmons TBH and WOTRK vids seriously make me wish i had played wow in its peak, tried joining recently and make friends just seems impossible
Same. When you come back to the game and know no one but you remember how it used to feel its hard.
Ill be your friend if thats what you really want.
I've really enjoyed these flashback stories. Nice work, as always. It's pretty cool to see how all these events impacted you as a person and as a player. Again, great job.
I dropped 80 dollars on retail due to this guy. I learned that it's best for me to just enjoy the stories surrounding WoW as opposed to getting into the automated mess it has become.
lmao same!!!
@@j.stevens4758 I’ve put a total of 3 hours into it 😂
At least New World looks cool.
