dingrats: "Just Loot It"

Yahtzee has the week off, but unlike your uncle Paul, we won't leave you gift-less over the holidays. To help keep your winter break cheery, The Escapist is proud to present a special sneak preview of dingrats, a new video feature premiering next month at our sister site, WarCry [http://www.warcry.com].

I watched about 38 seconds of that before I headed for the comments section in disgust, so I'm not gonna judge whether this was any good or not, but I'm willing to bet that it's more in the "Not" section.

Oh god, ow. Why...

Machinima, such as it has been branded, is very, VERY hard to do right. And it is EXCEEDINGLY hard to do right with Warcraft. I am pretty glad this is not becoming a weekly feature at the Escapist.

That was pretty hideous I mean WoW music videos rarely work the only one I saw was "I Am Murloc" but that was was done by Blizzard for there conventions.

First, I thought the visuals were great. Someone clearly has a flair for machinima.
Second, the audio had technical problems. It kept fuzzing out altogether on my system.
Third, even ignoring the technical problems, the song was pretty poor. He has almost no flow. He either needs better delivery or better rhymes because he's not selling some of these lines. Finally, he's really got a problem with writing lyrics with the proper meter. Tell him to stick to directing videos and get someone else to write and sing.

15 seconds and I felt I was watching Amateur Hour on U-Tube all over again. I think I'll watch videos of front-end loading washing machines instead. Sorry guys, that was hideous.

I can't even apologize for my forthcoming negativity because it is well deserved. That was awful. As with all the others I didn't get more than 10 seconds into it before shutting it off in disgust. Here's a nice analogy for you to chew on; Announcing Yahtzee won't be offering anything this week and then replacing it with a lame WoW video is like dangling a well marbled ribeye in front of us and instead serving a New York alley rat, rare. Eww.

What about the "The Internet is for Porn" video.

I enjoy World of Warcraft, and even I thought that was one of the fucking WORST things I've ever seen.

I'm genuinely disgusted, Jesus Christ that was horrible. God in heaven take it down.

Overrated MMORPG: Check
Annoying Emenem Song: Check
Replace the already annoying lyrics with even worse ones: Check
Use standard Flash technique of only showing images for a split second so no one has any idea what's going on: Eck-Chay

Yep, it looks like we have all the ingredients for worst Internet movie ever... Prepare for it to go viral in 3..2..1..

Well, i didn't thought it was so bad, but maybe it's because it reminded me of how things go in a mumorpger. For me, it was more funny. Ofcourse, you can see this as a joke as well, the vid i mean.

Using the word Yahtzee in the same paragraph as any reference to that mess is an insult to Yahtzee, the Yahtzee game, Hasbro, Milton Bradley, Edwin S. Lowe and E. William DeLaittre.

Well the description said music AND comedy shorts, so maybe there's a little hope for this series. It did hit close to home for me when he did the part about "raiding for a year, got no loot" or whatever.

Wow, so much hate....

I see a lot of posters with post counts under 5 though. Nyhm, did you bring your own flame squad or something?

I must be the only person who actually thought it was funny. The visuals were very good, I'm not sure what people are saying about them being too fast or anything. However, the sound had some issue about halfway through, and you rap like a white boy. The lyrics were pretty good though. I give it a 7/10 and I don't even like machinima (or however you spell it).
