Lovecraft and DnD really. I recently peeked into DnD with Baldurs Gate 3 and played a few IRL sessions with my brother and I was shook how much WoW borrowed from it lmao, but I think it's done very hommage-ish and they made it their own thing quite well
Not only is Bonder a futurama reference, it specifically references a bit where the coin op fortune teller pretends to be possessed by "Bonder"and tells them to give her money, then Fry says "Wait a minute, Benders name isn't Bonder... it's Bender!"
Hobart Grapplehammer did not create gilgobolins. He merely lied which started a rumor that he did. This is confirmed by a gilgoblin NPC in Naz'jatar. "So some land goblin said he invented us, and folks believed him? That's hilarious!" Also, Me'dan was confirmed to not exist in the Warcraft universe. The comics featuring him are not canon.
After watching the one about captured turtles used as submarines - I just realized that even though giant turtles are used in the game as boats they are nowhere to be seen in the "wilds". Sure, there are big turtles, but there are no really, really big turtles that could be used as boats or whatever. It's like Blizzard forgot about them existing.
Number 26 is wrong. That is a reference to tangled the Disney movie. They had very similar art and came out around the same time so i understand if it blended together in your mind.
Hiru, I love your content for giving us the stories behind what we encounter in-game. However, the quality control on this one seems to have fallen asleep after only a couple of minutes, desynced audio and video and repeating facts aren't what I'm used to from you.
We have wow content creators that do PvP, PvE, News & updates, heck there are those the 1% who covers wow lore. And then we have hirumared, I think he have more knowledge than Metzen himself. Thank you so much
Some parts of wow preceed game of thrones, yes, but it is entirely feasible that the devs wanted to throw in a couple of references to a then-newly-popular fantasy tv series in later expansions
you posted a 2 hour video, right as the servers go down... Actually genius.
This man gets it

Bro… go outside
7:00 is actually a reference to the movie Tangled during the song "I've Got a Dream"
How tf did he mess that up?
@@SquareViking was gunna say the same thing
Crazy how much of the base lore is just barely modified HP Lovecraft
Whatever WoW did, Lovecraft did far better.

@@notsure7060 Do it. at least search the clip, my explanation does it no justice

Best remedy for insomnia!
I fell asleep after 30 facts. This definitely works as a sleeping aid.

The Titan with the cats could also be Freya who has two giant Norwegisn forest cats pulling her carriage.
The egg next to the genie lamp references Mork & Mindy, to add to the post mortem tribute to Robin Williams when he passed.
47:11 pet battles: times of day that certain pets can be caught was very helpful
There are small clickable hooks for bungie jumping off ledges in The War Within
wake up babe, new hirumaredx video dropped
55:03 is the end of the pet battle stuff
Will be falling asleep to this tonight !
I needed this video tonight. Thank you!
So many repeats at the end of this video. Thought I was going insane or had skipped back somehow.
So did you just not expect people to watch the last 40 minutes of this? LMAO repeats out the ass.
He he i noticed that to

17:30 the alternating that's good, that's bad. Is actually a reference to a joke in an older comedy show called Hee-Haw.
The devs may have been referencing The Simpsons but the Simpsons were definitely referencing Hee-Haw
How am I missing all this pure gold.. I’ve watched everything listed lol
Loved the video!
No ads for the sleep videos please
ublock origin
@@tadpoleparker came here to say this
Thanks for another great sleep ❤😴
Hadouken comes from the Battleship Yamato gun Hadouho.
Metzen didn't voice Varok Saurfang all the way though. He was voiced by Alan Shearman and Andrew Morgado.
I was today years old when I learned I wasn't supposed to die at the end of feign death. I tried it once and then never bothered after that...
No the rested system was not to encourage alt play it was meant to encourage people to go outside!
The thing about murlocks retaining consciousness in undeath has huge implications for what and how went down on Azmerloth +_+

you never mentioned zack next to aerith which is a reference to ff7 crisis core
I see he fixed the sound effects for the "Jaws" portion, lol.
I've always wanted to fix the recording on that
@@hirumaredx it is 100% perfect now 😂. Great work as always!
1:05:28 that's not possible anymore?

I think he have more knowledge than Metzen himself.
Thank you so much
There is also a store in germany named Bauhaus, its like Home Depot :D
1:02:17 WELL THAT AGED LIKE MILK LMAO
couldn't have added just 3 more for a nice, round number. 🤣
how do you not have time stamps for this video
Just in time for me to go to sleep!
Some duplicates, but nice background noise while farming crystals for my thunderfury.
He’s not the voice of algalon
27:15 wow relesased in 2012 😅
Yo fact #35 is out of pocket epstein🎉
Medan is not canon :P
OMAE WA MO....SHINDERU
Zug zug
No warrior actually went fury as a tank in vanilla. That stuff came up on private servers much later when people started heavily minmaxing the game.
Wow is the 10th best selling pc game of all time, right behind euro truck simulator. Not 2nd lol
I wanted 398 but ok
Was that a kitbashed maulerfiend from 40k passed off as both ommog?
N’zoth is the same of a system in the Star Wars universe. It is home to a xenophobic race of creatures.
Not sure if Warcraft N’zoth came first though
Mail boxes have always had 12 slots.
Do u have another channel called alt shift x cuz ur voices are literally the same
I encourage you to listen carefully for the fact they have TWO DIFFERENT ACCENTS 😂😂😂
More sleep content! 🎉
I think your number of facts might be inflated since you repeat a good number of them
ok
Qué onda zombie
You need to do better research my guy. A bunch of these are downright wrong or just silly rumours, not to mention all the repeats!
WoW preceeded game of thrones. Believe it or not, fantasy existed before game of thrones and yes, even before tolkien.
Some parts of wow preceed game of thrones, yes, but it is entirely feasible that the devs wanted to throw in a couple of references to a then-newly-popular fantasy tv series in later expansions
Believe it or not, MoP came out a year after the release of the first game of thrones season.
The books did precede wow, though.
A game of thrones came out in 1996 fool. It was a book before the show
Why does your TH-cam video still look like a Taliesan video? 😕
Lets go
I think you need better videos to waste more than 2 hours that almost the majority does not matter much about the WoW facts.
