As a couple of others have stated, it feels more and more like Rebecca Mayes genuinely dislikes gaming in and of itself. It's not the same good-natured fun as when, say, Yahtzee rags on the Total War games for being "glorified spreadsheets." There is a palpable disdain for gamer culture in Rebecca's songs that becomes evident the more one watches.
As for her writing and singing, I'm not sure what people seem to be raving about. I'm actually a big Indie fan, and her style falls squarely in the generic category for me. She's pretty, though, so maybe that's part of the infatuation.
At any rate, I'm not sure if Rebecca Mayes Muses is something the Escapist should continue to run. I won't be watching again.

Very nice,
I think many people who watch these take them far too seriously based on the comments.
They're meant to be fun and light-hearted, not a dissertation on gaming lifestyle.
Fans are so much worse than critics... just enjoy it for what its meant to be guys.
If you listen and watch, that means you like it.

I loved the song, too bad a lot of people here and on /r/StarCraft seem to hate it. What? Don't you people like girls?
Who cares if she's not a gamer or not, she writes damn catchy songs. I love StarCraft II and couldn't care less about the fact that she called it a spreadsheet. I still love the song and the game. Hell, if she'd written a song saying how much StarCraft II sucked I still would have loved it because it's a joke, as in, not meant to offend anyone. If you're offended by the fact that Rebecca isn't a 'real' gamer or that she criticises games you like or by the fact that she's a female, then turn off your computer, unplug your consoles and take a walk outside.

i have to agree... i tried to watch this and find a "favorite" but her songs lack originality and too much "unrelated chorus"ezeroast said:
Heh, I know some people don't like her stuff and think she's repetitive, but in the end... She's not exactly claiming to be a music icon, and she's probably the best in the field of game-reviewing female musicians. Just sayin'
Plus I've heard all of her songs, and I think there's a fair amount of variation. This and her Reach song are two of my favourites, and they are quite different. Then again, I'm far from what you would call a music connoisseur.

So it's not enough that you have the stupid website background for the game, and the flash ads for it, but you have to have the pre-video ad playing too. Do advertisers really think that I'm going to buy a game after saturating me with it to the point that it makes me want to vomit and actively boycott it?
Oh yeah, good song.

I think this may have been the last song she does here. Another was mentioned on her blog for release on christmas eve but they took down the banner here so I'm not sure. Hopefully there will be one more but who knows.
