The lyrics of Screen Team's song Cataclysm feature a number of references to the fantasy world of Azeroth, which is the setting of the popular video game World of Warcraft. The first verse mentions a few key locations in this world, including Nordrassil (the crown of the heavens) and Zin-Azshari (the glory of Azshara). The second verse makes reference to the Quel'dorei, which is a term used to describe the high elves or "children of noble birth" in the game. The chorus repeats the name Nordrassil and then makes a reference to the goddess Elune, with the phrase "Elune adore" (or "Elune be with you").
In the lore of World of Warcraft, Nordrassil is a mystical tree that has been blessed by the goddess Elune with the power to heal and renew the land. Zin-Azshari was once the capital city of the ancient night elf empire, which was destroyed by a catastrophic event known as the Sundering. The high elves, or Quel'dorei, were originally members of the night elf civilization but later split off to form their own faction. Elune is the goddess of the moon, who is worshipped by both night elves and some other races in the game.
Overall, the lyrics of Cataclysm seem to be celebrating the fantasy world of World of Warcraft and the various elements that make it so alluring to fans of the game. The repeated phrases "Nordrassil" and "Elune adore" could be interpreted as a form of reverence or worship for these powerful and magical entities in the game.

@whitebirdboy Oh man, Chad put so much time in to getting all the medals in that. Awesome game, they need to come out with a new one that does the series justice!

@1bigFANofTHIS Hey, glad to have you! We've been talking about a lot of games lately, huh? Thanks for hanging around. And Tetris is great. In fact, little known fact about Angie: she's a super great Tetris player! Kicks Chad's butt all the time in the DS version.

@tetramegaman Skies of Arcadia: Legends was great! Chad played that on Gamecube too. Great one. And yeah, sorry we did end up trimming a lot of stuff out of the midnight footage.

@anthrocrane Yeah, Pacman is just a classic. Can't go wrong with that pick. One of our favorites is still the original Donkey Kong so it's great to pick an old school game too.
Screen Team
@repli99 Yeah, Brawl is awesome. Melee was amazing too. Smash Bros definitely one of the best series ever. Angie plays a mean Kirby!

@redline561 Looks like we're not nearly as fast! Almost level 81 here, but haven't had that much time to play. The underwater zone is pretty awesome though.
