How’re we all doing, lads and lasses? I hope you’re all well.
CHEFLOCKED #18 IS IN THE WORKS! As you all know, Pandaria is very slooooooow with it’s cooking progression, but I can say that I'm getting close to finishing filming the in game portion of the episode, once this is done, I’ll get the community poll up and running for you all to vote on what I cook IRL 😁
WARCRAFT 2 LORE VIDEO! As well as Cheflocked, a full deep dive into the lore of Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness (& also the expansion Beyond the Dark Portal) is also in the works! This will probably be my longest ever video, so keep your eyes peeled for that one.
If you want to watch some shorter MMO style news content in the meantime, I’ll also be randomly posting on my second channel, so head over there if that tickles your fancy: www.youtube.com/channel/UCN6S...
Before WoW. Before Warcraft III. Before any of it, this is where it all started. The original 1994 RTS, the war that burned Stormwind to the ground, and the story most people have never actually heard in full.
We go through every mission from both campaigns in chronological order, and we dig into the game's original manual lore, two in-universe documents written by Lothar and Garona themselves, that almost nobody has ever read. It changes the story in ways I wasn't expecting when I started writing this.
If you've ever wanted to understand where the Warcraft universe actually begins, this is that video!
I woke up this morning to find I’ve hit 4,000 subscribers, it's honestly still a bit unreal.
Thank you all so much for the continued support. I never thought I’d make it this far on the platform. I try to make every video better than the last, even if it’s just a small improvement each time.
I truly hope I can keep creating content you enjoy for many years to come. Thank you all so much ❤️
Blizzard has one of the greatest fictional universes in gaming history. Thirty years of lore, iconic characters, and a mythology that rivals anything in fantasy literature. So why are they doing almost nothing with it outside the game?
In this video I'm breaking down the full history of what Blizzard have built — and abandoned — with the Warcraft IP. From the $90 Brutosaur mount and a $75 housing bundle dropped while the game was literally broken, to the WoW Trading Card Game, the cancelled board game expansions, the Warcraft film that made $439 million and never got a sequel, and a TTRPG that's been dead for twenty years.
And with Riot Games' Riftbound proving that a gaming TCG can launch to record-breaking demand in 2025, the case for Blizzard to do more with Warcraft has never been stronger.
Blizzard won't use Warcraft's potential. And I think I know why.
Just offering a quick update on Cheflocked as it's been a while!
The gameplay section of the video is 100% completed, and I'm planning on filming the IRL section this weekend, with the plan on getting the video to you early next week!
Pandaria cooking is very time consuming, so this has affected the pace of uploads unfortunately. Once we've completed the expansion i can imagine this will speed up!
Just thought I'd give a quick shoutout to my second channel that I'll be posting the occasional short video to that I don't think would fit to my main channel. It'll be mainly covering MMO News and other related topics. If that tickles your fancy, consider subscribing over there :)
Hey everyone! How're we all doing? Firestache here!
Got a quick update for you all on Cheflocked #17! As I've said before, the videos are taking a little longer in Pandaria as we have daily lockout with how much we can grow on the farm and the one daily Ironpaw Token.
It'll take me a good few more days of tending to the farm and grinding to progress enough for the video, but I have a feeling it'll be a good one ☺️
After that's done, I have a script written for a deep lore dive on a specific wow character (the script is 20+ pages long). If that does well, I'll take recommendations on who to cover next!
In the meantime, feel free to come hangout in the community Discord channel 😀

New video drops Monday 1st June 6pm UK time! 🗡️
The ENTIRE Lore of Warcraft: Orcs & Humans.
Before WoW. Before Warcraft III. Before any of it, this is where it all started. The original 1994 RTS, the war that burned Stormwind to the ground, and the story most people have never actually heard in full.

Monday. 6pm. See you there!
