Driving music? More like a throbbing headache.

I can feel my bro levels rising just watching this. All I need is a popped white collar polo, some reefs, and a case of nattie ice for the transformation to be complete!
"total bropocalypse in the arena AWWWWWWW YEAH BRAH! It's gonna be a non-stop noob pwning brahtastrophe! KEGSTAND BRAH!"
....
I love arena/pvp, but this video represents everything awful about bro gamers. thumbs DOWN.

I know a lot of guys play female characters, and most of the male characters are lack luster, but does anyone else find it odd to have that heavy metal and doomy violent feel with female characters and their "bouncy look at me" feel? But then again, I suppose that's cool, chicks kicking butt is always fun. I know that's the only reason why I watch the Resident Evil movies.
I guess what I'm getting at, is I expected to see horde races.

Why do pvp videos, even the ones advertising pvp, have to have that noise all the time? Okay, almost all the time. I admit that.
Hell, Flight of the Valkyries is more motivating than this screaming buzz. It's all up to taste though, I know. :)

That's actually a really simple answer. The aggressive music fits the aggressive nature of pvp. I mean, i guess I could have thrown in some Justin Beiber. =P
Dreyja Nov 12th 2011 1:31PM
Hey Bloodvein! I felt bad about this comment. I actually like your stuff but I'm just one of those people who doesn't see that music as aggressive as much as just annoying.
It's all taste though. I hope you read this.
On one hand, having Beiber in there would make me want to hurt someone so maybe your second theory has some merit! X-p

Hey Dreyja!! =D
There's no hard feelings at all! I never expect people to like all my work. I was just letting you know why I used that music. On a side note, all my comments got down voted... good ole WoW Insider commentors.
This isn't directed at you but with how harsh some people are on this website towards machinima makers it's no surprise that most of them have quit making videos. Even the extremely talented ones. Luckily, I've learned to just ignore it. However, I do enjoy constructive criticism as it helps me grow as a video maker. =]
Thanx for commenting on my video as I do always enjoy reading your thoughts, even if they are negative. =]

Dunno - was expecting more pvp to be in a pvp promo video...

Okay, seriously, what was this?
49 seconds of thrash (where's my Tylenol?), a brief glimpse of slo-mo action for three characters, a rotating 3D-ish graphic that was made to look like a guitar and an advertisement (not including the GooTube pop-up advertisement) for a tournament in honor of the Marine Corps' birthday?
..............were there no other submissions today or something?

all im getting is "video is private"
Bloodvein Nov 11th 2011 9:57PM
You know, i'm not sure why he set it to private. Could have been a mistake maybe? Lol who knows. Anyhow, you can see the video on my channel.

I find it hilarious that all these hardcore arena players in this video have female characters representing them in-game. Nothing says badass testosterone-filled killing machine than an all female toon arena team right?
As a side note I've got nothing against guys playing female toons, I just find the above funny.

thanks for the link i did look your stuff up on youtube frickin awesome great work
Dreyja Nov 12th 2011 1:33PM
Yeah, I kind of think that people missed that this was the point of the video. XD
Bloodvein Nov 13th 2011 10:50PM
NP! I'm glad you enjoy my work! =D
