WoW Moviewatch: Nobody Like You episode 2
Oh my goodness. I can't believe that I just now got the joke. The main character in Ninth Batter's series is called "Nobody." The title of the series is "Nobody Like You." Get it? If it were Bob, the joke would be saying that it's a "Bob Like You."
Ninth Batter has released "Nobody Like You Episode 2." It's a short episode. The whole thing only runs about 3:00 minutes soup to nuts, including the final credits. According to the author, he just didn't feel that more material "fit" in this bite sized piece. I think that makes sense, since the jokes in this skit do pretty well when they stand alone.
Arthas continues his emo trend, though now he's coming across a little more like a distraught ex-boyfriend than a dark and gloomy master. Ninth has added a female to the cast, which I think will turn out well. Nobody needs someone to play off and interact with, besides just the tragic Arthas in the background.
Ninth has mentioned that he's not sweating the video art quailty, and trying to stay focused on his content. I think that's a pretty good call. The "simple" style is actually developing into a tagline for the series, a kind of visual style that makes it stand out.
Great work so far, Ninth. I can't wait to see episode 3.

The episode itself wasnt all that funny, but I gotta admit I did enjoy the song at the end.

I don't really find this guy's videos funny. Maybe I just have a bad sense of humor, but half of this video is end credits. Little to no content and what content there was just wasn't that funny. Sorry. :(

I wasn't a fan of the first episode and this one only solidified that. Wasn't funny at all, just awkward. It shows that he does some great video (see the video for the WoW insider show song) but his sense of humor isn't mine, I guess. Becides the fact that the actual episode was like a whole minute and fourty seconds.

Nothing happened in that video. Two morons with no personality dumped on the Lich King and than the male moron summoned his ghoul whilst the female walked away. The end. Cue the minute and a half long credits with a godawful, humorless rendition of "You Got a Friend in Me."
I literally summed up the entire video 3 and a half sentences.

The song at the end with the ghoul singing "you've got a friend in me" was EPIC.
Beyond that, it was pretty short, with some funny spots :) 5/5 for the credits, 3/5 for the skit.

Wow that voice acting was so unnatural it hurt my face listening to it.

Umm... next time, before doing the video, please add some more actual content. For a 3 minute video, having almost half of it be credits just screams... well, that the time of the people watching isn't worth much to those who are putting it together. It may not 'fit' with another segment, but perhaps it should be made to.

I love it, I'll give it a 4/5. Like the name Nobody, its easy to remember and simple, unlike wacky player names that I can't remember.
If Nobody Like You continues with more eps in the future, it improve with it's voice acting. Remember the first few eps of COTAQ or Oxhorn?

The jokes were ok, but they'd have been better if they were part of a long stream of jokes as opposed to just 2-3 jokes and then some credits.
i.e. it'd probably be good if it was longer.

short and funny.. not LOL but funny.. i like it.. :) 5/5
