01 - What Is Click Boom!?

‘Mhuldoon - Lev 80 ShadowPriest, Khadgar EU - Current Main Character’

“Click Boom” is an ever changing series of movies that blend PvP, Original Music, Comedy, Photoshop Artwork and partial WoW Machinima to create light, breezy, easy going entertainment squarely aimed at the casual WoW player.

The primary focus of the series has been straight up ‘FUN’ via experimental rated arena PvP in a very anti-competitive manner using totally unviable setups and ludicrous talent specialization, from the perspective of some of Khadgar EU’s longest running PvP fanatics who seek to draw fun out of ’serious PvP’ by simply going against the grain and taking the uncommon route.

In addition, due to my desire to one day create my own full-blown Machinima, making movies out of nothing allow me the freedom to practice editing, hence it’s common for most of the movies to come with my attempts at mini-machinima comedy/parody and, mostly, photoshop editing as it’s signiature style.

If you think that it would melt your eyes to witness such blasphemy, then I suggest you AVOID this series and visit the WCM front page for proper movies.

    Just added a page of some of the really really old classic Khadgar stuff, some of it even pre-TBC - Probably seen it before but they bring back a lot of memories :)

    Hope you like the blog ;)

  5. Woah woah, not everyday!

    I’ll most likely have something to update it with every few days - But I do check it constantly for comments and I get email notification from them too, so anyone who feels like dropping a hello should hopefully get a quick response unless I’m working or away from home ^^

    And thanks you three, catch you on Khadgar ^^

  11. My Shaman has hit 70 and I’ve been grinding on her quite a bit but no doubt come this maintenance I’ll probably work on the movie and have most of it done, might throw up some screens and info on it but I’m still hoping to get some more footage to use for it first, so watch this space ^^

  12. “quality stuff” “you’re a legend” “good work” HOW IS SEASON 2 SHOULDERS AND TERRIBLE PLAYSTYLE GOOD? ARE YOU PEOPLE ALL BLIND OR JUST TERRIBLE AT THIS GAME?

    Comment by bad — August 25, 2008 @ 3:49 am

  13. Dear Mr.Bad……

    It’s not all the time about the gear… I watch Rope’s Movies for the entertaining stuff… he’s great at what he’s doing… and even thou your a 45 year old virgin with a short dick you shouldnt open your mouth about stuff you don’t know anything about… WoW movies aint all about the gear… some ppl want to see fun stuff also…

    GL getting laid in the feature… you must have high standards when it comes to chicks (or maybe boys O.o?) … Do you ask them if they have full season 4 before you start your conversation?….. Pathetic humanbeing ….

    Comment by golat — August 25, 2008 @ 9:28 am

  14. Hehe, thanks Golat.

    ‘Bad’ - Since when have movies only ever been made, only when the directors can get the ‘best’ actors around?

    Since when has gaming been all about who had the best gear? I make movies for fun, just like I play the game for fun - If you can’t appreciate that, or your ‘fun’ comes from living in Arena and looking down on anyone who doesn’t have super high rating and gear, then by all means piss off and watch the high-end arena movies all over WCM rather than berate and insult the people who actually take time to show the fun they have outside of all this seriousness.

  15. Don’t sweat it Rope ;) Blood in blood out :P

    Comment by golat — August 27, 2008 @ 9:47 am

  16. I’ve made over 150 movies of all game types.
    Trust me, I don’t sweat it ^^

    It’s normal for some people to waste time hating, rather than just sodding off and finding something they enjoy ^^

    Comment by RopeDrink — August 27, 2008 @ 10:23 am

  17. This is absolutely awesome editing skills :) congratz man! Oh and…I dont think you guys are that bad !

    Comment by Surpresa — August 28, 2008 @ 5:54 am

  18. Thank you for the compliments, Surpresa - Really appreciated :)

    Comment by RopeDrink — August 28, 2008 @ 6:14 am

  19. really awesome movies, i always read the stuff you write in the bottom :> quite useful tips :d

    Comment by asatorr — August 28, 2008 @ 9:28 am

  20. Glad you like it - Though be careful, they aren’t really TIPS as such, it’s more a case of me expressing what was on my mind during the fights and what made sense to me.

    For all I know, those ‘TIPS’ could be really god-awfully incorrect in ‘pro’ terms, so don’t take them as advice, but maybe something worth trying out ^^

    Comment by RopeDrink — August 28, 2008 @ 2:08 pm

  21. Yeah gogo, keep deleting my comments -_-

    Comment by omn — September 5, 2008 @ 7:20 am

  22. lol, Rope deleting your comments XD ?

    Comment by golat — September 6, 2008 @ 2:22 am

  23. I don’t remember deleting anything other than one of my pages.

    Comment by RopeDrink — September 6, 2008 @ 7:50 am

  24. Maybe theres a Gnoam eating ur comments Omn :| We all have to real carefull… they might steal our underpants !

    Comment by golat — September 6, 2008 @ 12:45 pm

  25. Warning - never watch Ropes movies while eating - ya never know when you’ll need a screenwash!

    Thanks for making these extremely entertaining films Ropey - just ignore twats like the guy above that cba to read your descriptions, they aint worth your time or worrying about as theres more than enough of out here who love what you do.

    ps. those gnomes creep me out!

    Comment by Gwynned — September 10, 2008 @ 10:08 am

  26. No worries Gwyn, as said earlier after years of movie making on so many games, you get used to adapting to haters and general critics.

    Criticism I appreciate as you can make something of it - Put pure flaming rubbish like that, got no time for it - Waste of my time reading it, and the poster for typing it.

    Either way, always just happy to see that some people out there enjoy my attempt at movie making ^^

    Comment by RopeDrink — September 10, 2008 @ 11:14 am

  27. Just discovered this site, it’s getting bookmarked! Loved the “Love for SPriests” movie, had me laughing hard, especially the start :)

    Comment by Elminister — January 30, 2009 @ 8:25 am

  28. Glad you enjoyed it :)
    Don’t forget, the sequel is currently out on WCM - Focusses more on the PvP than the message, if you’re interested in that sort of thing.

    Otherwise, thank you for the support :)

    Comment by RopeDrink — January 30, 2009 @ 9:51 am

  29. Any plans for any other movies anytime soon?
    Itching for more :)

    Comment by Zavea — February 3, 2009 @ 4:40 am

  30. Nothing on the cards as of yet - Seems both my Arena teams have pretty much died and I’ve had no PvE options, am honor capped with no arena teams thus even PvP seems pointless.

    In the meantime I’m levelling a mage on Alliance side after four years of playing Horde, so it should be interesting and will pass the time until patch 3.1 when things may or may not get better for PvP as a whole.

    Had a weird idea to make a movie on how to stop clicking, seeing as so many people had asked elsewhere about the subject. At the same time I don’t think I could make something interesting out of such a bland topic, so it most likely won’t happen.

    Oh well, no doubt I’ll post here when any possible project opens up - Until then I need a small break from insta-releasing those last two movies ^^

    Comment by RopeDrink — February 3, 2009 @ 5:26 am

  31. Well feel free to drop me a whisper on Alliance anytime. Presuming you’re on Khadgar? =)

    Comment by Zavea — February 4, 2009 @ 8:23 am

  32. Levelling a Mage in HotGL on Alliance side, Ropeisha, seeing as I’ve nothing to do on Mhuldoon - Honor capped for the 100th time and nothing to spend it on, and cant be bothered raiding so throw me a shout sometime ^^

    Comment by RopeDrink — February 4, 2009 @ 9:18 am

  33. Whish i could do crazy movies and stuff with fraps like you did.
    your gameplay rocks, as someone said before, those nice tips before movies are so good.
    nice pg

    Comment by Libeppi — February 8, 2009 @ 7:45 am

  34. Thank you - I still don’t think I’m a great PvP’er but then again the series is notorious for being mediocre in skill / gameplay department - It’s all about the fun and experimenting - Not many people are up for movies like that as people are too focussed on looking great or showing they can play, rather than just diving headfirst into battle and going down in a blaze of plain mad (and sometimes embarassing) fun.

    Either way, thanks for the positive post :)

    Comment by RopeDrink — February 8, 2009 @ 10:14 am

  35. can pass u addon plz ??? =D

    Comment by Risemarc — February 13, 2009 @ 10:23 am

  36. When this blog was made, one of the first things I did was make a page to list all addons and mods used so those who liked them could see what they are.

    Feel free to check the page >>>>
    Button on top-right corner ^^

    I will not upload or distribute any mods or my WTF/Addon folder - All mods are updated so frequently that they would be out of date. On top of that they’re all set to my individual preferences alongside all the other mods and my resolution.

    It’s best if you download/check out the ones you like yourself and tweaking them yourself rather than looking to get a folder off someone else who has everything set a way that doesn’t suit you.

  37. this looks pretty cool

    Comment by warcraft guilds — February 14, 2009 @ 6:28 pm

  38. hi there mate,
    absolutly love everyone of your videos as im a casual pvper myself.
    i feel though your teams have alot more skill than average :)
    was just wondering when i will next see tombshine as i play hunter myself due to tombshine!
    also any news on that ’serious’ 3v3 movie?

    thanks mate and keep them vids coming out i look forward to them!

    ps if you have time im on Deathwing EU char name mangbangif you want to tell me more…if not ill look for a reply

    Comment by Mangbang — February 18, 2009 @ 5:59 pm

  39. Glad you liked em, though I’m sad to say I’ve placed my Rogue (Rope), Hunter (Tomb) and Warrior (Byss) in retirement.

    Regarding Tomb, it was a fun period of the game to play in but since the pre-Wrath changes I really didn’t adhere to the changes made to the Hunter class overall. On top of the fact I hate levelling I stuck primarily to my main (Mhul - Priest) and tried levelling my Warrior but that got frustrating for me for multiple reasons.

    That basically means you won’t be seeing another movie from TombShine again, nor my Rogue/Warrior. It’s even less likely that anything new will come from my Priest anytime soon as PvP has outright died on Hordeside here and all my plans for an Arena movie 2v2 and/or 3v3 went out the window due to team disbanding and me not being able to find anyone else, so I’ve been bored enough to level a mage on Alliance side to pass some time and chat to all the people I’ve fought against over all my PvP years on Khadgar (Lev 65 now). Will more than likely give that a go in PvP once I’m at level 80.

    Who knows what’ll happen, though ^^
