Azeroth Choppers Episode 3 - Now Live

LOL, I like how Paul Jr. keeps greeting the Blizzard staff like; ''*squeaky voice* What's going on fellas???''

But damn there's so much overreacting going on the series;

- Paul Jr.: ''I know you guys expected to see the bike today, uhmm...''
- Blizzard guy: ''SO we expected to see the bike... and that didn't happen''
- Blizzard guy 2: ''This is disappointment after disappointment''
- Blizzard guy 3: ''Paul apparently had some stuff to show us... and then... HE DIDN'T...''
- Paul Jr.: ''I don't want to waste their time, so I HAVE to figure out something.''

The Drama-meter is over 9000!!!

... I love it

he should tell them, it will be ready when its ready.

They hired someone with no experience in art, design and metal fabrication and manufacturing, other than restorations, who then "had to leave for family reasons" (ie. fired).

They throw out materials used in metal work, because they have no idea what they are.

Also, there is no store room with a of stock materials needed for metal work.

I'll assume some time had passed between the first and 3rd episode, say more than a week. If they haven't been able to add anything to those frames in that time worthy of showing progress, then those guys must take a lot of breaks.

I found parts of the episode a little ironic too. Like maybe it's a lesson that Blizz is trying to teach us all, that sometimes stuff doesn't go as planned, that things can go awry and slow down a project.

I'm assuming you have never worked in a fabrication shop or anything like that because the things you mentioned are quite common. Plus with the bs timeframe they have to build these bikes they don't have usual couple of weeks to plan the build. In the end it's a scripted show with obvious added drama to make it seem more frantic than it is.

The disappointment after disappointment line was rather ironic I thought. Maybe these guys finally understand how the player base has been feeling since Cata.

This is so American overacting faked suspension, goddamn this whole show is so fake.
But free mount and free 'entertainment' from blizzard! Who can complain?!

Are there people that actually watch this garbage?

Is this how fans of reality show feel all the time? You know it'll be terrible but you keep watching?

At least we got to see a little of the work that goes into WoD

I refuse to watch any more of these, due to how annoying the first two were.

Fool me once...

I love watching these episodes. Everyone knows these are scripted shows, they are made to entertain like WWE, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones etc etc. Its a TV show and all shows follow a script. They don't start the show by saying "Based on a true story". So I don't get why people keep flaming these episodes for being fake and a waste of time.

These episodes entertain me for a few minutes and I take it as that. We get it though, it's fake. Change the channel if you don't like it.

It makes sense when you realize that it's just satire making fun of the community that supports their game. It's a scripted "reality show" and I'm assuming prerecorded.

Either way though, it's clear that that entire part from what I've read without actually watching it because I refuse, is nothing more than a scripted replication of the same scenario the player base is facing with Blizzard. It's their subtle way of saying "f you" and feeling like they're being really coy about it.

As soon as I heard "previously on Azeroth Choppers..." I turned off, as from what I can remember, nothing actually happened previously.

That's what happens when you shoot your show in January and run it in May.

Why is it so short tho?
Original AC eps ran an hour weekly.
Now that might be a bit long for a wepisode but 6 minutes?
If they actually showed some production footage id be more inclined to watch these but we saw both bikes for a split second and some random blizzard people introducing themselves and thats it for this week.

Also. I feel they did a 1000 times better job marketing their product with 1 episode of South Park than they are doing with 6+ episodes of this tripe...

Everyone keeps bitching about this crap but they still keep watching. Do you guys always watch something so you can bitch about how shit it is afterwards?

I skipped through the first episode saw how crap it was and not watched it since, to me this show makes Big Brother look good and we all know how crap that show is..

So next episode Paul Jr. shows them something. He gets up drops his drawers and moons them! And says, "This is from your playerbase who are tired of waiting for you to produce an expac on time."

How can you judge something if you have not seen it? Prejudices are no substitute for reality checks.

Now the absurdity of it all is coming into focus! This is so great!

Can you all imagine how the director of this series is putting it all together?

Scene: Paul Jr on one side, computer screen in front of him, with the Devs on the other side, also looking at a computer screen. The Director puts up the cue card "On my signal, Devs fracture their skulls by slamming their foreheads with their wrists, lean way back and yell DISAPPOINTMENT AFTER DISAPPOINTMENT!"

I have to laugh at all of this, because Blizzard seems to be trying to make this into something which is supposed to be serious. Honestly, I think that Paul Sr would be great to lead the Alliance Team, with Abby Lee Miller (Dance Moms) as the natural choice to lead the Horde Team.

Oh, well, the comments are entertaining, at least!

Every episode so far

"There's no way we can do this" "We can't do this" "This is impossible." "Why did we sign up for this?" "Where did this bagel come from?" "We will never finish this."

Final episode

"I can't believe we're about to do this." "There is no way we should've done this." "We did it."

This is so awful.

I didn't even know about Paul Jr. before this, and I'm ashamed to admit that I watch a lot of reality shows' first and second seasons. I work in IT and sometimes things are boring enough that I put something on to go in the background. I love motorcycles and restorations (I still watch American Restorations).

But this.

This has really made it super clear how scripted and fake it is. If they had just done a one off azeroth episode I would've watched it and probably a few other episodes. Now I'm pretty sure I'll be sick of Paul Jr by the time this is over. Getting harder and harder to stomach watching these... why am I doing this to my brain?
