WoW Moviewatch: I Play as a Chick

Work Warning: This video has WoW models in their underwear, and sexually suggestive themes.
The video is awesome. It's been a while since the production values of a music video were so astoundingly high that I felt someone had raised the bar, but Yumfries has definitely accomplished that with I Play as a Chick. The graphics never got boring or stale, and they seemed to constantly be creating new scenery. Even if some of the video was a bit racier than some viewers would prefer, the artistry that went into it is clear.
The song itself was equally good, with creative lyrics and an overall playful tone. The "narrative" of the song has a playful ending, with a certain tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement of the subject matter's ridiculousness.

Hehe, absolutely loved it. Sharm, Wick, Yumfries and Tradechat are all very talented and I was impressed with this song! 100%! Amazing.

100% agreed
does anyone know if it was an original composition, or was it a cover of a mainstream song? the music sounds kinda familiar but i can't place it... oh well, either way it was a great vid!

It's a cover of "One More Drink" by Ludacris (co-starring T-Pain).

Video was good, but had to turn off the sound, lyrics were good but not the vocals.

That was hilarious great job. So much better than the crap MTV churns out these days.

I loved the video and lyrics, very beautifully done. While I do not hate Autotune or whatever makes their voices sound that way, in this case it really destroyed the vocals. I would not have been able to understand anything they said without the captions.

Love Love Love though i agree without the captions I might not have been able to understand what was being said. However I prefer my videos captioned anyway so it did not particularly bother me.

That was awesome! Now my guildies can understand why may pally is a chick. x-D

Im a gamer girl that plays a Wow girl and I don't know how you guys are getting paid, Honestly. Besides the possiblity of cybering for the gold, there is just NO way someone is going to pay you gold for stripping down your pixel chick and dance. I don't care how many /grin or /beg's you do, it doesnt bring in the bacon, so to speak. So... Boys, let us girls in on your secret cause you seem to be the only ones getting paid for being girls in wow, and don't tell its all for the coin either =P

I totally used to get together with two friends and dance naked in Org on BEs. We were all named after Charlie's Angels and had the appropriate hair color. We made about 50g a session a piece.

It's cause when girls actually say they are girls online no one believes them.
dawnseven Mar 10th 2010 2:08PM
Sorry, I don't buy it either.

I think it's that girls online (with a few exceptions) are not actively seeking to be treated differently then guys. We want to be taken on raids based on our abilities not simply because we sound cute on vent. The people who are /dancing and /stripping for gold are guys not girls. I think the video did a good job of showing this also it was hilarious.
I rolled a guy toon and I get treated about the same as I do on my girl toons. (except a lot of people seem to think I am gay, guess I can't get the girly soundingness out of my text)

because dudes are best in game girls than real life girls, seriously.
the answer is simple, a dude knows what buttons to push, because said dude has the same buttons. Wich is sad cause then men only have experience with fake women. One just to think what one would like to be done, and do it to another guy, low as hell, but it pays the bills!, and you dont even have to ERP!!
I found out of this when a buddy and mine stripped our characters (human and nelf on the good ol days) at lake at the entrance of SW, we started to test commands and such, thenm a guy starts claping and we had each 100 gold, a very best first day of work XD.
Use frases like:
"I'm kinda new in this game, my girlfriend got me hooked up ;D"
you imply that you need help, someone could teach you and that you probably had sapphic encounters with said girlfiend.
Or show a boob, not to being racist but gnomes seem pretty eager to pay for boobs.
now i feel like a priestitute, but hey, im swiming in gold!! ha ha

Bah! Everyone knows girls only play Hunters. I'm sure you can guess why.
Aaron Mar 10th 2010 12:49PM
So they can feed their pets? IDK why?
