Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Oxhorn took on pop music? If so, you now have an answer. In his newest video, Oxhorn takes on Lady Gaga with Like the Game. In case you don't get all the references, check out this shot-by-shot comparison.
This is probably my favorite Oxhorn video in a long time. It's a lot of fun, drawing on his rich cast of characters, and the song and video work very well together. The shot featuring Mortuus laying some smack down is probably going to be stuck in my head for a long time.
If you like the song, you can download it on iTunes, Napster, or Amazon. 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 email at moviewatch@wowinsider.com.
Off-topic, but apparently our own Grandpappy Frostheim is getting some recognition with a hunter cloak next patch that drops in either the new ZA or ZG. Just saw it on MMO-Champ. Thought you guys would like to know and possibly make that this wek's Phat Loot Phriday spotlight :)
I'm not generally a fan of Oxhorn's stuff, but I enjoyed this, mostly for a pretty brilliant chorus:
"I feel the white light of time As it flickers by. When I’m unplugged I’m just a guy, Who’s life ain't like the game."
The lyrics fit the melody perfectly and added a really nice poignancy. The rest of the song was decent enough to not detract from that great (IMO) chorus.
I'm glad to see this up here today. I like that it's a playful jab at lady gaga. Interesting how easily Gag ga's "costuming" fits into the wow-verse. XD

Oxhorn returns with flying colors! I hope he makes more story-based machinima--I always found those the funnest to watch. c:

I wasn't that impressed. I enjoy his story based machinima better.

'Nuff said.

Yeah, he certainly came up with some catchy lyrics for this one... The video overall was funny as well, but that's almost to be expected.

Who was the guy next to Deathwing? I don't recognize the model at all.
Deathknighty Mar 11th 2011 5:40PM
It's a djin. Can't remember if there any red ones, because I've never actually been in TotFW, but that's a red djiin
Deathknighty Mar 11th 2011 5:28PM
DAMN IT! I just lost the game!
