MMORPG Theater : Music Video

I'm in to a lot of different music and while looking for a video for today I ran across this one which caught my eye. Using a remixed song of "So Sick" by Flyleaf they make a a beautiful video for the song using WoW characters and settings from in game instances. While its not a video to make you laugh or cry, its something to kill a bit of time!

If you've never head of them, Flyleaf is often billed as a Christian Alternative band. The lead singer, while small in size has an amazing voice. I'm eagerly waiting for their second CD and with hopes it will be as bad ass or more so then the first. You can check them out at Flyleafmusic.com to hear samples of other songs. Its kinda like No Doubt meets Evanescence if you want a refinance music wise. Video after the Jump..

MMORPG Theater : Who's the Tank?

Well.. Its now a weekly thing I will be doing. Scouring through the video websites to find the more amusing or theatrical -should it be there - side of MMORPGs. I figure this is worth doing since the genre sucks so much of our lives up, we're either laughing at it to make it easier on our selves or taking it waaaaaayyyy to seriously. I will be doing my best though to bring you things to make you laugh about the obsessive games eating away at our lives raid by raid, level by level and loot by loot.

Now, personally with WoW related humor videos I tend to favor Oxhorn Shorts for their videos as they tend to be well scripted and thought out. But I've come across a little gem of a video using Classic Humor with a new little twist. Now its fair to say if you don't play WoW ( or any other MMORPG with group builds for raids/instances and such ) you may become as confused as the Dwarf your about to see. I hope you can get past it to find the humor in the video though of how easily the confusion takes hold thanks to our happy lauguage.

In the video take a classic Abbot and Costello routine of "Who's On first " aptly renamed " Who's the Tank ". The video creators follow the routine fairly well and I have to admit its funny, if just for the few first moments of the video. And if you don't like the classics, well its something to eat away a few minutes of your day that you pretend to be working. Enjoy!

LIES I tell you!!!

While I find this video funny and somewhat true - for me its not. For a demographic of women who are nearly brain dead or over 45, it is true. I have to give the guy credit for making up lyrics that didn't repeat. Mainly because a friend of mine in collage one night when my best friend (who is a guy) was playing tetris that went along the lines of " We are little Russian men who love to play with blocks.." and it repeated a whole lot.

We often found our selves humming the tetris music with the lyrics he made up in our head while out on the town. Go nerds. Video after the jump...
