00:00Oh my god, why has this wolf kicked the sh** out of me?
00:03WoW Forever is beta, level 1 character.
00:05And I'm still just getting ruined leather scraps, why did I f***ing pick that upgrade? My god!
00:10Two hours. How much money can we make?
00:13Just realise that I have like no space on my computer at all.
00:18My colleagues at PC Gamer have roped me into a WoW Forever challenge,
00:22where we have a couple of hours to make as much money as possible, starting with only 20 silver.
00:28I made a hunter, I shouldn't have done that because I have ammo to worry about now.
00:32I should be giving myself a handicap because I am going to destroy the both of you.
00:37And become fabulously wealthy and embarrass both of you.
00:41I'm not going to tell you how I'm going to do that because you'll just steal my idea.
00:45Okay guys, here's the deal. I don't have a plan. I was lying.
00:50So look, we're going to have to come up with something on the fly.
00:52Maybe skinning because then I can do that while I've got quests.
00:56I'm now going to have to spend 34 copper, which I really don't have very much money,
01:01but I want a skinning satchel so I can put all of my skins in this bag.
01:06I'm going to be a bit of a scavenger and I'm going to just steal skins.
01:10Oh boy. Oh yeah. This is going to be good.
01:13Okay, here's the boss.
01:16That took absolutely ages.
01:19This was probably not a great use of my time.
01:23Plan now? I'm just going to f***ing kill animals.
01:26Feel real guilty about it.
01:28Lovely. Oh, I did not realize this plain strider was level 9.
01:32Oh, f***.
01:33I thought it was just like the others.
01:35Ah, f***.
01:37Don't kill me!
01:38F***.
01:39Oh!
01:41I am five silver poorer than when I started.
01:45This is going so badly.
01:50Even though I had no plan or real faith in myself,
01:55I still thought I'd be doing better than this.
01:58Okay, we have like two minutes.
01:59Harvey has just notified me.
02:01I have to get this.
02:03I'm going to hand in this quest.
02:04I'm going to sell everything I have.
02:06This has been a f***ing nightmare.
02:08I'm so glad it's over.
02:10I didn't have a plan.
02:12I had no plan whatsoever.
02:13My plan was to psych you both out.
02:17So my final total is 29 silver and 89 copper.
02:21I didn't even get to 30 silver.
02:24One person gave me an entire f***ing gold piece.
02:27All right, Josh.
02:28I did try briefly saying I'm a really important journalist.
02:32That didn't seem to do very well.
02:35I wonder why.
02:37Instead, I just said I'm a really important celebrity.
02:39And specifically that I was in a competition with two b***h.
02:45Fair.
02:46I still cannot believe that you both got over a gold.
02:49And I'm sitting here having earned 9 silver and 89 copper.
02:54I'm going to say I'm going to say I'm a really important celebrity.
