Alex Albrecht Tanks and Spanks Bosses in Project Lore
by Calley Nye on July 15, 2008

Alex Albrecht, co-host of DiggNation and The Totally Rad Show, has launched his new project Project Lore. The core of the project is a web series, featuring Albrecht and his friends playing World of Warcraft. In typical Albrecht fashion, they will be sitting around drinking beer, while playing and World of Warcraft and simultaneously trash talking their digital counterparts. The show will be distributed across ZAM Network’s WoW sites; a network that attracts 17 million users per month.

Project Lore is produced by DECA, a digital entertainment studio that has produced some major web-specific programs like Boing Boing TV, Dog & Pony, BushLeague.TV and CoolMom. DECA is a direct competitor to Revision3, the company that produces Albrecht’s other shows DiggNation and Totally Rad Show.

Each weekly episode of Project Lore will feature a new level of gameplay (or instance, in WoW-talk), and will be broken up into sub-episodes for each boss (bad guy) in that level. In addition to the show, there will be accompanying game guides, blogs, and news. The game guides feature boss lists, maps, lore and secret tactics from user submissions.

Alex Albrecht (Dr. Dark) is joined by three friends, Joshua Brentano (LyleLovett), Jerry Trainor (Goggins), and Zand Broumand (Dorkins), in the studio. They are accompanied by another friend Brandon Sato (Juggynaut) through a speaker box they call the “JuggyBox.” You may know Joshua Brentano from G4, where he is the supervising producer of Attack of the Show, or Jerry Trainor from the Nickelodeon show iCarly, where he plays the main character’s older brother Spencer.

The show obviously appeals to hardcore gamers, but its humor and tactical breakdowns may appeal to a much wider audience of freshman WoW players.

Lore has articles with WOW. Too many sites with WOW content.

So now instead of idiots wasting their time playing WOW they can waste their time watching other people play WOW!

 

What’s with the “wikipedia” as the source of that photo? It’s my photo (http://flickr.com/photos/ojbyrne/167854288/) and you’re fine to use it with the right attribution. Just like wikipedia.

 

Ah, sorry. Apparently it’s wikipedia that isn’t properly sourcing it.

 

With Jerry & Zand this will be awesome!

 
 

I thought it might be funny.. I was wrong :(

 

Albrecht is easily one of the biggest douchebags on the internet. He usually ruins Diggnation - would be so much better if Kevin Rose just replaced him with a hot chick.

 

Wait, so yet another Onion prediction comes true? It’s World of World of Warcraft!
