WoW Moviewatch: 84 85 - World Of Warcraft (Cataclysm)

The first thing you have to recall to get this movie is that, in Cataclysm, the level cap is going to be raised to 85. I know, it's a subtle thing, but that's the fact that 84 85 - World Of Warcraft (Cataclysm) is based around.
This video by the Unforgiving is an interesting parody of 74 75 by the Connells. And while the Connells are waxing nostalgic in their original song, the Unforgiving is looking forward to 85 in Cataclysm. The video has a lot of extra bits throughout its runtime, focusing on the various misadventures of a Tauren. I'm not always sure how it directly relates to the song's content, but it's pretty amusing.
Ultimately, I really liked 84 85. However, I think it had a little bit of schizophrenia between the cut scenes, the video, and the song content. It made it a little hard for me to figure out what's going on, and I think ended up detracting from the overall effect. The song, the music, and the video itself were all entertaining and fun. However, when it blended together, it lost a little bit of the total effect.
I'd really suggest taking some time and dropping the Unforgiving some positive feedback. I'm really hopeful about any future musical projects, and would like to see the video get the praise it deserves.

That's the first time my eardrums didn't pop from the usual agony that is machinima. I must admit, that sounds pretty good.

Moar Tauren in machinima, seriously! It's great to see my favourite chars get some time in the limelight rather than those goddamn blood elves. Very nicely done, loved the vocals especially.

Why can't the horde accept they are getting goblins and the alliance are getting worgens? (Notice the little faction change around 2:00?)
Goblins are cool too, guys.

Why exactly was the Tauren naked throughout most of this? I mean...he runs in at the dragon with all his gear on and when he gets punted out he's naked again! Wtf?
Other than that I really liked it.

Nice vocals. It was amusing though I'm wondering about the underwear thing too but... artistic license eh? ;)
Yay for TAURENS! Especially Taurens who aren't rapping. ;-p

Entertaining, but I couldn't figure out almost any of the lyrics, the music drowned them out.
