WoW Moviewatch: RePlay

The whole thing feels fun and kind of laid-back. This is a video and song for dancing and having fun. This is the kind of thing I'd have on while mixing party drinks for friends, and getting to enjoy some of the beautiful summer air. Quixotica has given this video a lot of "good vibe," and I enjoy it.
The lyrics were a little touch to make out, but I think my ear just isn't trained to do that with this kind of music. The beat and general feel was awesome.

looooool...
Hardly surprising he chose the cutie female troll face..
All the others look like they've come out the wrong side of 12 rounds with a prime Mike Tyson... i.e. Ugly.
If you picked a hot troll with a mohawk, then good. for those that didn't...
Ouch.

The troll model - the female troll model in particular - is in need of repair almost as much as the human male model is. Female trolls need more face options, female trolls need a fixed run animation (I can't quite put my finger on what the problem with it is, but there's something deeply offputting there), and *all* trolls *desperately* need SHOES!

@Fletcher Really? Shoes? I think the fact that trolls are meant to be savage would probably preclude the shoes. I mean, we're probably just lucky they don't eat everyone else.
Besides, why would you ever cover up such unique feet? Don't we see hooves on tauren and spacegoats? We even see toes on the undead (shoes never seem to cover those toes).

I would at least like the option to cover my forumtroll troll with shoes so I don't look like such a thug in my grey clothes... Maybe they'll make an option where you can be a smarttroll or a scrubtroll. No tusks, combed hair, shoes and fresh breath. A new era for the jungle bumpkins.

Well, it IS the only female troll face that doesn't look like it's been hit with a hammer or it's 80 years old or both.
I really hope they'll overhaul the old races, some look really horrible unfortunately, troll females for example, or orc females who also only have one or two usable faces.
Nice video, nice feel good vibe and a nice change from the usual BElf Rap music machinimas.

Hooves are one thing, they are the "shoes" of Taurens and Draenei, and look very good imo. But Trolls are very different, they are barefooted, without any kind of shoes.
It's weird to equip new boots/shoes and see the same feet. At least they could use sandals of flip-flops :P

@Jez Smartroll you mean a Night Elf?
I like my big troll feet. I also don't use the "pretty" troll face, it has the stupidest look of eternal surprise, it feels like playing a walking blowup doll..
I actually *want* my troll to look savage, so while I think they do need more facial options, I don't think what we need are 5 more that share the vapid appearance of a sex toy.
Savage and beautiful don't have to be mutually exclusive.
Jez Jun 22nd 2010 5:49AM
I'm afraid you're troll isn't beautiful.. you may be savage, but if you didn't pick the cute face, then you must have tied an ugly stick to a Swingball™m swung that mo'fkr round and stood up to take the pain.
Also, I'm not asking for a cat-walk revolution... I don't expect alllll trolls to be hot, but there's like 5 faces, 4 are ugly, and the other looks like a crackhooker..... which is why I use it... or did, before I realised my Troll couldn't wear shoes and might eat my gnome who was only 2 character slots away from it.
ANYWAY, I'm glad you're happy with your troll. :) But incase you wanted to roll another one with a different face, it would be lovely for Blizzard to give you some more options! :)

No one is mentioning the most disturbing fact about female trolls, that REALLY needs to be fixed. Female trolls don't blink. Oh. Except the DK ones.

Hate the song, but then, I'm just really not a fan of that kind of music.
The video, on the other hand, fit very well. I'm not sure what made him decide to use trolls, but it was to rather good effect, I think.
Noah Jun 21st 2010 12:21PM
Wow, this was very well done. Quixotica really knows how to make the video flow nicely with the music. I approve.
quasarsglow Jun 21st 2010 12:21PM
Can't go wrong with the supah sexy troll lady dance. The timing fit the song well.
lalahi Jun 21st 2010 12:37PM
finally a troll video, and we rlly need some more troll rap
Erzfiend Jun 21st 2010 12:37PM
I could make out the lyrics. Does that mean I "get" this kind of music? Not sure if that is a good thing, lol.
Still, cool video, music fit it pretty well. Nice to see a video about the jammin' Trolls.
Dreyja Jun 21st 2010 12:49PM
Trolls were an excellent choice for this song. It was very well done. I also kind of hate this king of music but it shows that the machinima was pretty good because I made it to the end. :)
Angrycelt Jun 21st 2010 1:05PM
The singer (Iyaz) is from the Virgin islands and his accent peeks out every so often, so the trolls are a perfect choice for a video. His first two singles have this same kind of upbeat sound to it... and he does it without profanity or vulgarity, a pleasant change for current music. Its funny that I like this song as much as I do since I'm probably about as opposite as possible to its target audience demographic.
I liked this video. Straightforward love story just like the song, and unlike some machinima, the images went with the vibe of the song, rather than trying to use music to augment the video they wanted to present.
Nice work, Q.
Moorit Jun 22nd 2010 2:27PM
I totally agree. I heard this song months ago and just loved it, even though I usually hate this genre. It's probably one of the sweetest love songs I've heard in ages. I watched the "official" video and was really disappointed because it objectified the girl in a way the song didn't. I'm going to pretend this is the official video now.

Sick of fail machinima raps
Possum Jun 22nd 2010 4:44AM
It's.....not a rap. Did you actually listen to it?
Hairfish Jun 22nd 2010 4:55AM
I'm an Alliance-heavy altoholic, but the Horde toons I play are mostly Tauren and TROLLS. I love their big, bare feet. If we ever get an option to cover them up, I won't use it.
The music fit the video to a tee, mon.
