Like slaying Onyxia and old classic World of Warcraft. You accomplished nothing over the span of two hours. But two hours to have 40 people cheering and being like, We did it.

It's wild to me that there are people who play video games like World of Warcraft where it's like you run from the little town center and there's like a man standing there and he's like if only I had 10 bore skins. Please go out and collect 10 bore skins. And people actually sit there and then just mindlessly.

Anyway, he always played PC games such as World of Warcraft. He got so engrossed in that game and paying money every month to renew a subscription.

Why people recommend it

The phrase 'World of Warcraft - death knight' references the popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Blizzard Entertainment and its iconic martial class. The game was brought up across multiple episodes of 'Timcast IRL' in 2025. Tim Pool discussed the mechanics of the game, expressing bemusement at how players dedicate hours to completing mundane virtual fetch quests or defeating raid bosses like Onyxia—activities that yield no real-world material gain yet provide immediate social reinforcement and collective cheers from groups of forty players. Pool also compared political factions to game lore, prompting online super chats referencing the Lich King and various expansions. In another episode, Dan Hollaway used World of Warcraft analogies to describe the political left and right through the lens of the Horde and the Alliance, arguing that logic and code govern one side while chaos governs the other. Additionally, in a 2017 episode of Bill Burr's 'Monday Morning Podcast', Burr read a listener email detailing an ex-boyfriend's consuming obsession with paying monthly subscriptions to play PC games like World of Warcraft, illustrating the deep cultural footprint the game has left on modern digital life.
