WoW Moviewatch: Buddhist 3v3: Ming Must Die!
Do you remember Insane Gouge Crits, by Buddhist? Well, the master of PvP Parody is back with another installment in the ongoing struggle to be Rogue Hokage. Behold Buddhist 3v3: Ming Must Die!
The love of Buddhist's life (his soulmate, if you will) has been damaged by a rival rogue, Ming. Now, Buddhist and his 3v3 team must fight through Ming's merciless minions to regain Cel's power, and prove who is the true Rogue Hokage.
This video is parody of the PvP genre, and sticks its tongue firmly in cheek at the majority of rogue and PvP culture. It's steeped with references and odd quirks, so it helps to have some knowledge of who's who. Ming, for example, is actually a very well known blogger in "rogue society." Serennia is a prominent Arena fighter, and was once hailed as the "best warrior in the world." And if the dialogue from Ming seems funny after her initial confrontation with Buddhist's crew, check this video out about Swarm.
The video made me laugh. The stream could use a little better quality, but overall, I enjoyed this new installment. Mileage is going to vary, of course, but I enjoyed the irreverent, self-aware humor.

Damn, they're hilarious. And pretty epic at PvP.

This is made of absolute and unaltered win!
Too bad it's 3.08, made before Rogue became the shitholes they are now.

I agree Dante. I actually stopped playing my rogue and now am dedicated to the full-of-win dk's. If you can't beat em' join em'. :P

It is my opinion that that was really, really unnecessarily long and overall lack luster. I appreciated the idea, but just wasn't impressed by the execution.

I thought the storyline/parody/machinama part was pretty funny and well made, and the vent was positively priceless. I just had to wince though, seeing all those 2 second kills, I'd hate going up against his team.

8k ambushes and 7k mutilates? Pre-nerf rogues apparently?

Ming's a dude, FYI. He just plays a female toon.
I don't know how relevant that information is in a semi-RP-type video, but there it is.

How about absolutely not relevant!?
FYI.. Ming is speaking Japanese! Now that's relevance!
Wouldn't a Blelf and an undead make pretty sick kids!?

I never understood why the seemingly well known Rogues all seem to be extreme anime nerds.

He's good to play guitar, tho...

I watched this a few days ago and, man, I swear I almost lost it when the BE rogue started spamming /train. Buddhist's voice acting was funny too
"Where is the druid? Oh... there he is. The warrior is using Bladestorm! It does no damage."

Ming's voice reminded me of a certain annoying character from an Anime.

I only stuck with it with the hopes of more old school Final Fantasy music.
