WoW Moviewatch: Nerf You

by Michael Gray Feb 9th 2010 at 12:00PM

Nyhm originally released Nerf You in December 2009. This video is a proud continuation of his work through the years. However, I feel like Nyhm's really nailed down a particular dynamic in the lifestyle of playing WoW. Getting nerfed sucks, there's no doubt about it. But for every person who feels like the nerf hammer hit them especially hard, there's probably a few who realize that it was probably for a good reason.

I especially think Nyhm's vocal skills are on display in this video. It not only has a pretty catchy tune, but he really gets to show off his ability to use verse and intonation to bring it up to another level. The video is pretty fun also, and I'm thankful for the pseudo-subtitles for helping to keep me up with the lyrics.

I had to stop the video at about 17 seconds in because the constant flickering got on my nerves.

I've said it before, and I will say it again.

Parody WoW-Rap videos are bottom of the barrel entertainment. Simple Machinima put together with an even more simplistic "rap" style are just mediocre at best.

Listen to a song like Pally Pete to see real commitment to creating something musical, and check out some real skilled machinima like Snacky's Journal to enjoy some true creativity and skill.

I'm sorry - but Nyhm does ab-so-lute-ly nothing for me.

Nyhm is epic. All his parody songs are good.

If I wanted to listen to a parody, I'd listen to Weird Al; if I wanted to watch WoW machinima, I'd watch one of Oxhorn's videos. Plus that flickering gave me a headache. Yes, it's nice that Nhym knows some basic tricks with editing, but it's more detrimental than helpful in this case.

This is the best Nyhm vid in a while. There was the holy priest one...which was...middling. Then there was "Grind" (I think that's what it was called) which was just aweful, like he didn't even try. This is a true Nyhm vid. Good machinima, good song, classic Nyhm.
