Can We All Take a Moment to Appreciate the Writing in the Trailer?

Some trivia (for the heck of it):
- There are some miscellaneous Hearthstone props scattered around. Frostmourne is clearly visible, but if you look closely, the hat I wore from the Witchwood cinematic is on display just over my shoulder
- The book prop was phenomenal, it has relevance for something we’re revealing later. Inside, the prop is actually the “I” volume of an old encyclopedia. I would read aloud from it between takes
- I didn’t get to keep the murloc slippers, sadly. They make little gurgle sounds with each step!
- This was filmed in Blizzard’s library
- ...Blizzard has a library

Have you ever done stand up or theater? You're really good in these videos!

They make little gurgle sounds with each step!

Omg

I DID major in theater in college, so I spent a lot of time on stage.

Believe it or not, it came in really handy as a game developer. I did a lot of directing as well, and when you direct a play, you're trying to create something with a group of creative people, trying to arrange everyone around a shared vision. The end product is different, but the process is really similar when you're making a game together.
