It was just another amazing night of Legendary, covering WoW’s endless free trial, 4.2′s launch wells and woes, etc. Then, out of no where.. smoke.

    Haha, very appropriate name for the episode.

    Keep up the good work GBTV!

  • StellaShadow

    First!

  • Holymoly

    Second

  • Baconator

    I LOVE BACON!!!!!!!!!

  • George

    I was just about to say, when Gary isn’t hosting it, the video and audio quality improves.

    I’ve had 2 PSUs explode over the last 15-20 years, so I empathise. It’s generally not something that you have a spare lying around to quickly swap out either.

  • Cotytto

    See Gary? That’s what happens when you AFK in your Captain’s Quarters on EVE, your PC blows up.

  • Jacob

    Any way to view this on ipad?

  • Nick Ratcliffe

    Just to clarify, in T11 Arms was better on any fights which required add-burn phases (e.g. Maloriak, Conclave, Halfus). Fury was better for single-target damage.

    In T12, it’s believed that with the Fury and Arms nerfs to damage, Fury will be handily better at PvE.

    • Durlockozk

      Welcome to T12, Firelands. This week on Legendary, “Fight Fire with Fire”. Please donate to the Gary needs a new power supply fund.

  • Zod

    Fury is WAY better than Arms in PvE…? I must have missed that memo.

  • Thustra

    Kinda silly about how they count the amount of subscribers. It’s pretty well defined what counts towards the 12M number and any trial account was never counted

    • Chris

      Chinese players that pay a little as 8 cents a month to maintain an active subscription count towards the 12 million number. Gary and the Legendary team were speculating if Blizzard was going to count endless free trial accounts as part of their total subscription number.

  • Mimeck

    Okay, when i started watching this ep, all i was thinking “that darn mouse is in the middle of the plasma behind Gary, move it away” *semi-weak N-Rage*
    Then everything blows up and for a quick, i was thinking “woohoo, i’m a X-men!” then i remembered i’m 24 and i’ve had a Power, spit flames at me (yes, it spit a flame out, that burned through my tower), then i was sad for poor Gary :P
    Love the Donate-gig at the end and ofc, loving this show :D

    • Kon

      @mimeck
      Lol I had a similar experience. I was thinking “man, I hope the jeopardy button spontaneously blows up so I don’t have to hear it” and then the feed exploded.

      I’m sorry Garry, i’ll never complain about it again so I don’t accidentally blow you up next :<

  • Aoewin

    I dont mind the trash… since Blizzard find it super brilliant to put the only 1hand STR in this tier as a BoE trash drop, and I need 2 of them..

  • THEFLAMINGBUG

    thanks for keeping the intro shorter. Personly i thought it was to long.

    • THEFLAMINGBUG

      o and btw lore’s dog FTW

      • Gigi

        Lore you need to put your dog on camera :)
        I always hear him and wonder what kind of dog is it.

  • Steve-O

    Only thing I can think of for a blizzard supported damage meter would be to somehow separate AoE damage from single target damage.

    Man to be a fly on the wall in the studio.. that would have been an instant viral video lol.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/BoughBiller Bough

    Lore did the Irish accent!!! YAY!!

  • Raven

    Poor Gary, do you need new PSU, lol I can send you couple of em, Just need your address lol :)

  • Crumps

    And then THAT happened…

    Been there Gary, glad you and the v-neckS – plural – are ok!!

  • Netheras

    Had a thought about Wargames.
    If they made them cross server, wouldn’t that completely destroy RBGs? I mean with the ability to even challenge people from your own faction, not only would there be a LOT more of them going on but Horde would have the added incentive to do them just because they wouldn’t have to wait so long for queues. I’m assuming of course that by then you’d have a UI that let you pick a team to challenge etc.

    I didn’t read the FAQ so I don’t know if they give rating, but that would be what I figure separates them.

    If they do, then I think they’d totally just phase out RBGs. If anything I’ve said is totally wrong, feel free to correct me, I don’t PVP much at all.

    If they did make Wargames cross server, then I might actually start PVPing again.

    • Chris

      Wargames are skirmishes that don’t count towards your RGB rating or award points.

  • jon

    just thought i would tone in on the wow battle chest bit. i work next door to a gamestop and out in the dumpster wednesday i saw about 15 empty battle chest. there is no way they just took out the cd’s and left them and the code laying around. my guess is they are purging everything like that and getting ready for a big upgrade.
    great show as always sorry for the lose gary

  • Saucy

    A ferrari with a flux capacitor, that’s what kind.

  • http://1pcgamer.drupalgardens.com 1pcgamer

    That PSU was clearly trying to raid Firelands!!! ;)

    @1pcgamer

  • deadDUD3R

    First flood, now fire. Gannon studios are doomed.

    • Srotovac

      best. outro, ever.

  • Blind Gamer

    Is Gary’s studio cursed by the elements? Rain has flooded the place. A power supply overheated and basically exploded. So whats next… will Gary get trapped in the studio by an earthquake… will a rogue fan lop off one of his limbs?

  • bbqisgod

    I’m not buying the power supply excuse…

    GARY GOT BUSTED FOR COOKING METH!!!!!

  • Shahal

    I recognize that PSU. Looks like an Ultra X series. Having one of those is very bad idea. Really bad quality. Go Corsair for the next one. Great episode tho even with the issues. :D

  • Navitron

    PSU is one component that you should NEVER skimp money on. Always buy the best reviewed and highest end model for the Wattage you need. If the PSU goes south like mike said it can take out your motherboard and everything else with it.

    I always buy high end PSU’s with good reviews and in the 13+ years of building computers I’ve never had one “Blow up.” I’ve had one die but it just went quietly not taking anything else with it.

  • Tarondin

    BUT WHAT DID GARROSH SAY AFTER YOU TAKE THE QUEST?

    • Chuck

      duh, he blew up the world!, (he realllllly hates rag)

  • Zabimaru

    Love the Picture for this week’s episode. Totally goes with what happened to the power supply. Hope you get a new one soon Gary. It really sucks that it burned during the episode, but glad you are safe.

  • Avetarx

    No smoke without fire. Good episode though. :)

  • MMO_Doubter

    Glad you didn’t burn up, Gary.

  • Teddy

    With what Nick said, arms is even better on single target. If you look at heroic alakir, the top DPS (of any class/spec) is arms warriors.

  • Craig

    Gary must have really pissed off the elements…first a flood then fire.

    Next week: earthquake.

  • QuintLyn

    XD He’s in California anyway.

  • Spirrivippen

    Really Gary, you should have a fireextinguisher. Everyone should have it. Not in every room, but in a centralized place where you can easilly reach it. Most of the time, it just sits there and expires and you have to get a new one to sit there, but it’s times like these you need one. I mean, you’ve had your problems with the studio allready. Someone is up to something! :p

    Btw, keep up the good work! You’re awesome :D (and that goes for all of you, not just Gary)
