WoW Moviewatch: Don't Trust a Rogue

The lyrics themselves were strong, funny, and felt naturally written. It's a parody song, of course, but I wouldn't have realized that fact if I didn't already know it. The video was brilliantly put together, with very effective scene layouts and character staging. All of the vocal performances were spot-on. I was especially impressed by Bulltastic's tracks, since they really helped the pace of the overall video.
Don't Trust a Rogue was a great video, and I definitely hope that Candidá and Theandrin continue to explore machinima.
Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch! Have suggestions for machinima we ought to feature? Toss us an e-mail at machinima AT wow DOT com.Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, WoW Moviewatch

Ha! Great vid.
I've still got those lock-boxes in my bank. *sigh* one day they'll be opened....

Amazing video, one of the funniest videos I seen.
And I hav the same problem, I end up just selling my lock boxes. Not like I need anymore greens/blues. Sure it will be nice to DE and get mats, but that ain't a problem anymore either lol
"she wants to stab you"
"tauren boyfriend because she loves beef"
LMAO, great 1 liners

After Nymh, I couldn't really get into parody machinimas. GiGi and the other Nymh wannabes nearly ruined it for me, and that seemed to be the only parodies featured here for sometime. However, with Cranius and Summergale's "Ulduar", TheGreyFoo's "Spacebar Clown", EmberIsolte's "Ninja Raiders", and now this, I can actually enjoy the sub-genre again. Hooray!

The song and video were a good match. Were the shirtless male blood elves really needed though? Only thing that killed it for me. Overall it was a good movie. Worth the watch.

WTB less homophobia. It's just a game, bro. Normal people can differentiate.

Shirtless male blood elves were needed to balance out the underwear-clad female dancers. :)
Great vid.

Great video!
Enjoyed watching it!
And I think the blood elf males were meant for the girls more than the guys ;)

Love it. An improvement on the original song, well made machinima. Overall, one of the best WoW parodies I've seen.
As an added bonus, depending on your views of Belf females, they haven't changed the base message of the song either!

She stole my BE hairstyle! It's on now!!!!111!

Wow, that was great for a belf-centric music video. Hell, that was just great.
Vulpe Jan 13th 2010 12:53PM
I don't see what's wrong with the shirt less Blood Elf males... They need a job so why not make the pretty boys be the backup dancers?
Tirrimas Jan 13th 2010 1:39PM
I giggled through the whole thing.
...and I loved the Chippendale backup dancers.

I was just coming to say I highly enjoyed the topless male belf dancers :D
Sel Jan 13th 2010 2:00PM
That was awesome.
And I loved the Chippendale dancers too!

Wow. I really enjoyed that. The Belfs were actually good in this video. But the Druids in cat/travel form really made me laugh.

All the girls lurv teh Tauren!
The singing was nice. The editing is simply yet good. This'll be stuck in my head for a while.
---------------------------
I'm on an RP server as a Tauren druid*ahem* and all the BE women just come to me....Either to hug, pet or cuddle!
Maybe it's the horns.....Yes..the horns....

"Mahoru Longhorn"
Ahem, I have a faint idea why...

I was expecting to hate this, but it was not bad at all. It was easily better than the usual belf rap videos.

One of the best music video parodies I have seen yet. Great work and keep it up!
