Line 6:
The series plays out like a long quest chain in the MMORPG it's based on. After finding someone who can tell them where to find a black dragon, they must lift a curse on his two brothers to get the information. The brothers, [[Stupid Good|James]] and [[Jerkass|Eric]], are trapped in swords. So the group sets off to find a way to lift the curse, meeting several amusing characters along the way, such as Hana's ex-girlfriend [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Flayme]], a [[Long Range Fighter|draenei hunter]] named [[Friendly Sniper|Rora]], and a gnome with the very odd name of Deuce Ex Machina (Not to be confused with [[Deus Ex Machina]]). [[Hilarity Ensues]].
 
On the other side of things, there are the antagonists, led by [[Card -Carrying Villain|the undead Warlock Dirim]]. His followers include his blood elf "girlfriend" and [[Valley Girl]] [[Dumb Blonde|Stephie Ilumvari]], the orc Warrior Orgrath Axeblade, the tauren Shaman Hawkwynd Bighooves, and [[Beware the Quiet Ones|the troll Rogue Jin'zul]].
 
Guy and Ellers are both massive [[Otaku]], and often exasperate their colleagues with their incessant discussions of [[Anime]] and [[Proud to Be A Geek|other forms of Nerd/Geek culture.]] Flayme is in a [[Love Triangle]] with Kit and Hana, often resulting in catty words exchanged between the two women. Despite their generally keeping quiet (relatively speaking), Hana and Deuce have both exposed their geekiness as well. Perhaps they've been spending too much time with Guy and Ellers?
Line 18:
* [[Art Shift]]: Though it's all done with [[World of Warcraft]] graphics and models, some episodes use the Model and Map Viewers instead of actual game footage.
* [[Author Appeal]]: Soooo much geek humor
* [[Bad Guy Bar]]: Looking for a guide, Guy checks out a bar, which is host to a furbolg, a treant, [[The Dragon|Akama]], a doomguard, [[Diablo|Tyrael]], Emperor Vek'nilash, a gronn, an ogre, a kobold, a gnoll, a stone giant, Heigan the Unclean, [[Horny Devils|a succubus]], a bunch of murlocs and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|a guy in a murloc suit]]. Guy understandably backs away immediately.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Do not call Deuce "puny."
** Or lock [[The Berserker|Kit]] up and try to seduce her boyfriend.
Line 36:
'''Rora:''' Woof.<br />
'''Guy:''' Hey, try and get it to leave ''that'' the way it is. }}
* [[Five -Bad Band]]:
** [[Big Bad]]: Dirim
** [[The Dragon]] / [[Evil Genius]]: Jin'zul (He's the information gatherer in addition to being Dirim's most trusted minion)
Line 42:
** [[Evil Genius]] / [[The Dragon]]: Orgrath (He's generally leading things when Dirim isn't around)
** [[The Brute]]: Hawkwynd
* [[Five -Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero]]: Ellers, if only because he's the one who's given the quest initially.
** [[The Lancer]]: Guy, who's only along because he was forced to.
Line 71:
'''Ellers:''' What about the one with the really long name, that's hard to pronounce?<br />
'''Guy:''' ''[[Urotsukidouji (Anime)|Urotsukidouji]].'' I mean, shut up. }}
* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: When Ellers get's mad at James, he starts [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|beating the sword against a tree]]. The Darnassus Police were not thrilled by what appeared to be someone chopping down their trees, and [[Not -So -Imaginary Friend|James' silence afterward]] didn't help.
* [[Literary Allusion Title]]: Many, if not most of the episode titles are these.
* [[Queer People Are Funny]]: The series parodies this trope with the crew of ''The Butt Pirate'' (there was a miscommunication with the painters). Except for one off-screen [[Butch Lesbian]] (and possibly the captain), most of the crew is [[Camp Gay]].
