Felicia Day returns for Episode 2 of The Jace Hall Show, trading barbs with Jace over Twitter, Mathematics, and Todd’s constant e-mailing (will Baby Jesus make an appearance and finally settle on a new home?).
I Play Wow is to this day one of the most popular videos on YouTube, surpassing over 12 million hits. This week’s episode features a new I Play Wow in full Machinima, and offers fans the chance to download the track for free via Jace’s soundcloud.
Milli Vanilli and John Davis are reunited for their first interview ever Continue reading “WEEKLY EPISODE: Felicia Day, I Play WoW Make Epic Return to Jace Hall Show” »

As the viral video “I Play WoW” tributes continues to spiral out of control (and there’s no other way we’d have it), we got hold of a pretty awesome tribute from YouTuber Zach 26505, who lip syncs video game songs.
That’s sort of a misnomer; he actually does a kick-ass job of lip-syncing to video game songs, and did us the great service of syncing to a couple of Jace’s own — in this case, Jace’s Mortal Kombat rap, and of course I Play WoW.

If the invention of the green-screen has led to anything (besides dozens of films trying to be Avatar) it’s been the ability to pay tribute to your favorite music videos. Besides a little chroma keying, it never hurts to have a sense of humor — and that last component is what makes this tribute video to Jace’s ‘I Play W.O.W’., courtesy of dubmasterist, is an obvious success.
The so called “dub master” the Dumbasterist:
…Makes tributes to songs I really enjoy listening to. If you want me to make a dub video for any song you have in mind, just let me know!
Notice the carefree thrall Continue reading “Fan Of The Jace Hall Show Creates Badass Tribute to ‘I Play Wow’” »

Last week capped off the 4th season of the Jace Hall show. Needless to say, the show was a full-time endeavor for Jace, Todd, and company, and last season alone took nearly a year to produce. But now that the season is over, where does the show go from here? Continue reading “The Future of The Jace Hall Show: “Different is the New Cool”” »

How To Educate Your Parents About World of Warcraft
Wednesday, 6th October 2010Posted in Blog Archive

Written by: Jace Hall
Name Joshua Portelance Subject Hey Jace Message Hey my names is Josh, I’m 15 and I play W.o.W pretty much every day. Lately I have been mass agroing my parents and they are telling me to go out side and hang out with my friends. They don’t even listen to me when I tell them that sense I play W.o.W I have better leadership and multitasking skills as well as improved hand-eye coordination, well I hang out with my friends digitally. I’m starting to get quite annoyed with them sense they are insisting on putting a 3 hour limit per day on the computer when one raid lasts 4-5 hours, and when all my friends are on all after noon. They just don’t understand that I would rather be inside playing video games with my friends then outside. P.S: I have the same tank gear as you in my bank. Don’t worry I wont tell anyone what server your on.
Dear Joshua,
I understand your dilemma and I know how much it sucks to be in a situation where you are surrounded by people who do not understand what you are doing or why you are doing it. It can become very frustrating trying to explain yourself over and over, only to have them not listen or understand what you are saying. I would get all AGGRO too.
NO WORLD OF WARCRAFT FOR YOU!!
However, you have to keep in mind that these people who do not understand you are YOUR PARENTS. It is their job and responsibility to make sure that you are safe and healthy – and all they want to do is protect you from things THEY THINK may harm you.
Normally, when people don’t understand something they tend to be afraid of it in some way. Since they don’t know what it is, the natural instinct is to be better safe than sorry. That is what is happening with your parents. All they see is you sitting in front of a computer with a headset on, doing something that looks completely unproductive. On top of that, they likely don’t have any similar experience in their own childhood to reference against so that they can at least tell themselves that what you are doing is similar to what THEY did so they can know you will be ok in the end…
So, without that information they just perceive you being kind of anti-social and worry that you are not learning important communication skills or developing your mind enough socially. They fear for your future because if you don’t know how to work/play/speak with people well, life can be way more difficult! Their job is to equip you to WIN!
They just don’t want your life to suck – but in certain areas like WoW they are TOTAL NOOBS so they simply conclude that you sitting and staring at a screen being “unproductive” might lead to mass suckage for you later on. So they tell you to get off the computer and “go outside and play with your friends!” You would do the exact same thing if you were them. Trust me.
It is totally understandable. So please don’t get mad at them. They are just trying to do a good job – and since they appear to live in a house on NOOB MOUNTAIN, they ARE doing a good job…at least for being NOOBS. Know what I mean?
Anyway, the goal here is to help educate them about what you are doing. You have to show them that sitting in front of your computer grinding on WoW is actually giving you MAD SKILLZ in life by teaching you: Goal Setting, Leadership, Extreme Multitasking, Communication, Management, Strategy, Cause and Effect with Consequence, Technical Skill, Familiarity With Complex User Interface Design, etc.
They need to see that you speak with more people in one day during a WoW session, than they EVER did at your age while they were out playing with “friends.”
The truth is that what you are doing is impressive, you just have to help them understand it.
Try this -
1.) Wait until your parents are home.
2.) Figure out a way to Re-Route your headphones (all incoming chat audio) to external speakers. Make sure they are capable of being loud. The idea here is to allow everyone in your household to hear all the chatter coming through your headset.
3.) Then go on an HUGE quest that requires a ton of people.
4.) Turn your speakers up LOUD. Get your parents to want to come in your room to see what kind of party you must be throwing.
5.) All they will find is you by yourself, playing WoW. However, the sensation they will feel from all the chatter and the audio will be that you are with a TON of people, being social.
6.) Ask your parents to sit down and watch you play for 15 minutes. During this time, GO INTO OVERDRIVE WHEN YOU DO THINGS. Just play the game abnormally fast. Make your parents see and understand that there is NO WAY they could be doing what you are doing. It’s just too fast and too complex and there are too many people, etc. OVERWHELM them by handling it all with ease.
While playing, explain to them what you are doing. Show them the multitasking, the communication, the leadership, EVERYTHING.
They will begin to understand I promise! They may be even a little bit proud of you. It is impressive to watch. Trust me. What seems simple to you, looks like magic to them.
Hopefully this will help.
If it doesn’t and they STILL tell you to go outside. Just go outside. They are your parents, just trying to do a good job. Yes, as I said before they are NOOBS, but they are YOUR NOOBS. Take care of them and make them feel good. They are people with feelings just like you. It is your duty and responsibility as their son to honor their wishes, even if you think they are being unfair. Be a champion, have understanding and patience, especially when it is hard to have patience – by doing so you will build up your HONOR POINTS in the REAL WORLD.
This is how the JACE HALL LEGION MUST ROLL. Join or be cast out as a NOOB.
Jace

| Hi Jace | |
| Message | |
| Hi I’m West a 12 year old kid who play wow because I have no friends and I saw you I PLAY WOW music video and was wondering do you really have a blood elf palidin? And if so what realm? After I saw the video I showed it to my mom and dad because they think WoW is a waste of time but the video shows every, and I mean EVERY reason, that I play WoW. | |
Dear Mr. Chalfant,
You can no longer say that you have no friends, because I am now your friend which automatically makes you cooler than everyone you know. I’m the only friend you will ever need. If anyone ever tells you that you have no friends, just show them my picture and say, “YOU JUST GOT PWNED, NOOB!” – Then laugh to yourself, because you can know deep in your heart that you are so much more awesome than that person that they cant even understand it.
In regard to my W.O.W. characters, the realm that my Blood Elf Paladin lives on must remain a secret! This is so that I can continue to rule the lands I inhabit with impunity and merciless power. Anyone you see in the game with the name JACEPWNS is likely a fake. Pay them no respect!
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
As for your mom and dad, clearly they are TOTAL NOOBS and can’t understand how amazing and awesome you are while in the World of Warcraft.
As NOOBS they can not grasp that you are training your mind to be more and more proficient at multitasking, while simultaneously improving your hand-eye coordination far beyond your future fellow competition.
The pure NOOBNESS that your parents bask in, totally keeps them unaware of your ever increasing comfort and skill with using a computer with complex software – nor can they appreciate the purity of watching someone pursue a passion with all their heart.
Alas Mr. Chalfant, your parents are trapped in their own NOOBOSITY, and they dont know it.
They can never know the joy of W.O.W. they way you do. They will never have the fond memories of killing their first Murloc or battling the Lich King… Don’t hate them for this, just give them hugs and kisses. That might make them feel better.
In the meanwhile, despite the fact that they live in a house built on NOOB mountain, THEY STILL ARE YOUR PARENTS!!
They pay for everything and take care of you and keep you safe and worry about you and make sacrifices and do the best they can – so it is only fair and right that you give them respect and honor and do as they ask of you!
Your parents have earned the right to be in charge, and it is your DUTY to follow their lead!
Remember, they have lived a lot longer than you and know a lot of things that you don’t! Listen to them and learn from them!
So if they ask you to stop playing W.O.W. for whatever reason, YOU STOP PLAYING OK?? If you want to stay as my friend, then you listen to your parents. I don’t want friends that can’t live up to their duties and responsibilities! W.O.W will always be there for you later.
Stay strong Mr. Chalfant!
Your friend,
Jace

Written by: Jace Hall
OK – We’ve been getting A LOT of requests for more Jace Hall Show Episodes.
Here is the latest:
We are in discussions with IGN as we speak in regard to how and when we are going to bring more episodes to you.
IGN wants them, we want to do them – and so it is merely a matter of figuring out the best way to put them out in the world for maximum exposure and ease of access.
In the meanwhile, rest assured that a number of things are happening at the Jace Hall Show temporary offices and at events which we currently try to capture with our cameras and we also have some very good ideas that we want to include in future episodes.
Also, we are contemplating creating shorter episodes, but MORE of them, so that there is a more continuous stream of new episodes to watch this time around. Good idea?
We also may continue to create and shoot awesome music videos like the “I PLAY W.OW” piece. Yes/no?
If you have thoughts or ideas that you think we should include or consider, NOW is the time to make these suggestions!
Please go to this specific forum thread and let your ideas be known. We are reading EVERYTHING!
http://www.jacehallshow.us/forum/jace-hall-show-episodeguest-suggestions/
We are also thinking about putting together a BLU-RAY DISC and DVD version of the all the episodes from every season with a few extra goodies to sell on the site. Yes/No?
Ideally, we are hoping to have everything figured out and episodes coming to you as soon as possible, so please keep the faith and also try to let everyone know about the show. We need your help to spread the word as it is very hard to break through all the internet chatter and get people to check it out! Anything you can do is appreciated!!
In the meanwhile, stay awesome – and know that when you visit this site you are instantly become a member of the Elitist Elite in the land of Eliteness.
