All of the latest Mists of Pandaria newsWoW Moviewatch: PvP by Ken Ashcorp

This isn't much of a video; actually, it isn't a video at all. While we don't normally cover non-videos like this, PvP is more than good enough to make up the difference. It's hard to believe this is a battle anthem, considering the lighthearted, fun style, but PvP clearly speaks to antagonistic, heavy-breathed combat. The lyrics are clever and fast-paced, relying on alliteration and poetic timing to convey a sense of anticipation.
Here's hoping someone reaches out to Ken and offers to turn this into some machinima. It's wonderful music with fun lyrics, worthy of all the attention it can get.
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.Filed under: WoW Moviewatch

Boy, that is excellent. I'm not very good at catching fast-paced lyrics, but that song had me bouncing up and down in my seat without even realising.
Definite thumbs-up!

Awesome song! REALLY looking forward to someone making an quality machinima to go along with it!
Plainswander Oct 25th 2011 12:21PM
No kidding. I can't stand PvP, but I'm dying to see what kind of PvP Movie can be made with this.
I hope this guy makes just a HUGE bucket of money off this song, it really is that good.

That's pretty catchy. I like it.

I am trying to figure out what the hell kind of race that is.
Horns look slightly Draenei-ish, but skin is too dark, and eye glow is wrong. Could be hair, with a normal human, but eye glow.
Ahh, got it. Looking closer, it's a Draenei in shadow. I guess the eye glow is an artistic choice.

Draenei DK?

Huh. You almost wouldn't know it was a WoW song. I could see (hear?) this going on the radio and becoming quite popular.
Glaras Oct 25th 2011 1:51PM
At 1:55, it's just a hair too short for it to be radio-station fare, but the rhythm and cadence, and the quality of the sound and composition is *at least* as good as anything on the airwaves. I admit, I couldn't quite make out many of the lyrics, but I got the jist, and it's a great, catchy little tune.

Yay! Great song! Let me have your babies *cheer*
And I was gonna complain about iTunes, but I looked into this bandcamp website and gave the artist 2 bucks for this song, which according to what I read in bandcamp's pricing info gave the artist 1.70 cents. Damn right, 100 cents for the song, 70 because I felt generious, and 30 for bandcamp for providing the service. I bought him a coffee and now I'm gonna take my mp3 and go pvp!

Sounds just like that obnoxious whiny twit singing the obnoxious whiny FreeCreditReports.com commercials.
But your mileage may vary. Everyone is free to wear sunscreen.

I don't PVP, but this song made me feel all happy inside. It's just all kinds of excellent.
But I must add...
Please, please, dear gods of MMO, do not let a blood elf video be made of this. Please.
