All of the latest Mists of Pandaria newsWoW Moviewatch: Hater Raid Firelands

This is an odd combination of music, voice tracks, and raid video. Take the time to check it out, though; Molly did a surprisingly good job of pulling it all together when you consider it's her first video. It was fun to watch, reminiscent of the best parts of the Firelands, and the voice bits go well with the music.
Molly created this video as an homage to her raid group. What I especially liked were the layers of player dialogue and WoW's acting. I think this is an interesting genre that could be further developed. If you're not sure about the song, alt-tab and do some web browsing while you let it play. The effect is relaxing while still engaging. My hat's off to Molly. (As a note, she did use Deadmau5's song for a background track.)

Couldn't have picked a better song! :D

I agree, a great song. I also really enjoyed the video. Well done!

'Guys, do you know how to tank her up in the web?'
...
'It's exactly like DPS-ing her, except she's hitting you.'

I don't normally like raid remixes, but maybe it's just all of the insanity I achieved while downing raggy but I like it.
Wish there was a little bit more raid chatter/stupidity, but all in all I /loved it.

I really like this video. IT is so easy to relate to as a raider. And you can never hear the voice tracks in game while raiding because Vent is usually abuzz. Awesome video.

I see a lot of clicking going on in that video.
Reservoir Dec 6th 2011 2:13PM
Really nice. And what's wrong with clicking?

Nothing is really wrong with it... unless you notice it.
Ever see that scene in Star Trek IV where Dr. McCoy is in the hospital and asks a woman what's wrong, and she says she's on kidney dialysis? And Bones goes "My God, what is this, the Dark Ages?"

For those of us who notice clicking, it's kinda like that.

I liked it a great deal more than I thought I would.
As a genre, I think it has a similar appeal as listening to emergency channel scanners does for some people.

I think I read somewhere that some of the world first pushing guilds are going to be livestreaming their progress.
The only thing I wonder about that is what took them so long? Competitve PvE raiding in wow is a huge topic of conversation, and they will get a massive amount of eyeballs, easily monetized these days with improved streaming services.

Very nice!! Fun to watch and the people sound like a great group.
Aunaka Dec 6th 2011 4:37PM
Molly you are amazing! I love our raid group, and the video turned out great. Thanks to everyone who liked it!
