Yddin, the star of the video, laments about the fact that, since he's level 70, everyone wants him to run through Ragefire Chasm. While the editing is pretty good for his first video, some of the timing and delivery of the song itself feels off. I really enjoyed it, though!

That was... horrible.

*shrugs* I liked it better than Nyhm's stuff, and people go crazy over him.

I'm one-hundered percent with you Hory. Calling this guy a competitor to Nyhm or Xylan even is wrong.

Nhym was also horrible. He got better after some songs thou

I think Nyhm is at best meh (his voice is a little offputting), but I really couldn't handle this. For one thing, the sound quality of his voice was terribad. Buy a new mic or something.

Its his voice that sadly makes it bad, for me. I can listen to Nyhm without wanting to turn it off few seconds after playing.
Moo Money Aug 10th 2008 12:28PM
To each his own. Nyhm's voice does the same thing to me.

Moo Money is correct, although i can't listen to this one either... Anyways, for a first it's nicely done, better than i could do :P

I'm not a huge fan necessarily of Nyhm's voice, but this one definitely made me cringe more. I can normally finish most videos...this one I had to be like the others and turn it off. I would say the biggest problem to me seems to be the actual audio quality. It seemed too have too much echo and was really grating. I think the point being missed here is the reason Nyhm is so popular is because his videos are truly amusing. It helps that he has creative visuals, but I really don't think anyone is saying, "OMG, he's SUCH an amazing singer, he needs to get a record deal!" It's more that his songs are hilarious, with the exception of ones that have no intention of being funny like the one dedicated to a guildmate that died. Oxhorn has some amazing visuals and voice acting in his videos, but I don't think anyone actually tells their friend to watch it and goes, "Look at how incredibly he did that scene!" They pass it along because it makes them grin, or laugh, and it's funny. The video above was creative in some parts, but not as witty in terms of song lyrics. So, people are going to be less forgiving of other aspects being off. I really didn't get the same vibe from it as I get from Nyhm.
For the sake of being fair, I did finish the video just now. The part where it started getting more amusing was around 2:10ish in when the section on Smeezy started in. But that's really just too long for a video to actually catch interest. If they DO want to be competitors for Nyhm (and I wouldn't necessarily assume they are going for the same audience at all) the audio quality has to go up, the visuals have to get a bit more creative, and the humor needs to start earlier. Does the video suck? Nah. And some of Nyhm's earlier videos were nothing impressive either.

I have a couple guildies who hate Nyhm's voice but love his videos because they're still hilarious. I think that's the balance of it.

For what it's worth, I liked it. I didn't have the impression that Moo Money had about the delivery, but I would have liked Mystrana's chorus to be a little bit clearer. I don't know if that was intentional or had to do with the recording equipment. There's definitely some talent there, so keep at it, work on that craft...

I've never listened to the original song, but that was bad. The vocals were horrid.
I prefer Nyhm tbh.
But good job, at least you have the balls to sing this, make a video etc.

I liked it ;O

Wow that was odd, I clicked the lapdance link and got a "This video is not available in your country" wtf YouTube.
Darnodus Aug 10th 2008 2:21PM
I can watch Nyhm's movies from beginning to end, heck I've even watched all 30(?) "How to Paladin" movies from start to end, but this? Urgh, stopped it after 30 seconds.
Dightkuz Aug 10th 2008 2:44PM
Couldnt watch this til the end
Tobiathin Aug 10th 2008 4:08PM
He likes Retadins. /sigh 'nuff said.
Gnomechewer Aug 10th 2008 7:27PM
HAY NOW!
Tobiathin Aug 10th 2008 7:57PM
Hehe, S'awl gewd, GC. Marc & everyone else on vent had a rediculously long discussion on retadins. It was good times. Also lots of yelling fail.

Was this supposed to be "Rap?" 'Cause I mean ... The lyrics were creative. But if you're going to "Rap," you have to have ... you know ... "Rhythm." And no one in this video could keep a beat to save their lives.
