Nyhm and Sharm originally performed this video to celebrate the coming of Cataclysm. While reading various WoW forums this weekend, I encountered all the naysayers and doomcriers who expect every pandaren we roll to be another earthquake in the destruction of WoW. This song immediately came to mind.
Don't get me wrong -- the game is going to change. But that's kind of the point. And we're not going to start Mists of Pandaria and suddenly think, "Wow, this game is radically different!" The story, lore, and feel will change, of course, and various mechanics are getting overhauled. But the game we love? It'll still be there, still built by the same people, still riddled with jokes and iconic moments. I promise, we'll survive. 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.
At the time this movie was first released, it completely blew my expectations for Cataclysm out of the water--it really made me excited for the coming expansion. This piece was and remains excellent. I look back on the Pre-Cataclysm event fondly (although it will never equal that of the Scourge Invasion event, sorry portal event, still love you though,) and I get a kick remembering it while watching the video. One of the finer pieces I believe Nyhm's done over the years, and I still listen to it once in a while. If that doesn't say something, I don't know what does.
I know this seems a tad off as far as comments go, but did anyone else think that the part with the female goblin dancing fit the music just *perfectly*?
Regardless, I loved the song and the video to go with it.

"And we're not going to start Mists of Pandaria and suddenly think, "Wow, this game is radically different!""
I think just what we know so far, talent changes, profession changes, skill changes, yes, this game will be radically different.
And technically, we will get those changes in the 5.0.2 prepatch.

Okay that was seriously awesome.
Especially the weather report. WTB Skin!!!
(This also sorta reminded me of Literal Cataclysm, and I can't wait for Literal Mists)

Nyhm still doing the same unfunny joke vids. "It's the end of the Nyhm as we know it"
