We've featured Why Can't I Raid? a few times in the past. It's a sharp parody of Rihanna's Unfaithful, remixing the song into the perspective of a raider desperate to be included's in her guild's group. It was one of our first exposures to Sharm, who has since become nearly legendary in the machinima scene.
This is actually a recreation of the video by Twilightpaladinus. This time around, the video focuses on a poor gnome warlock. There's something sweet and undefinable to a gnome that lends an air of sadness to the video. While the video doesn't use many of the fancier machinima tricks, it's a fairly solid performance from a new creator. I hope to see more in the future. 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.
I was just thinking, "that sounds a lot like an auto-tune failure", during parts of that. Bah.
I can't say that I know the original artist well enough to say whether auto tune failure is homage/parody worth enough to damage the new work like that.

HOLY CRAP that's sad! Made me QQ.
As a GM, I'm never telling anyone they can't raid again!

Nice use of Garth Brook's song, "The Dance".
