Nub Tales ep. 6.2: How 2 BE Raps is going to be a favorite of mine for a long, long time. Not only does it have the same kind of tongue-in-cheek humor to which we are accustomed, but it also features Yumfries' own skill with mixing and making music. And just to make this even more epic, it features Gigi. No, really, Gigi did a guest spot in a parody of belf rap.

I continue to love Yumfries and his work with Nub Tales. The series is focused on both the game of WoW and the community that surrounds it. This combination makes the series a little more interesting than if it were just slamming Blizzard all that time; you get a good sense of involvement and interaction. Gigi often gets a bad rap (get it?), so I think it's a huge gesture of class that she appeared in this video. Hopefully it might a few critics of her work a little less vitriolic to see that she's willing to laugh at herself.

Every class feels like they're underpowered. What is it that rock says? "Nerf paper, scissors are fine." That being said, HybridPanda seems to have especially strong feelings about shaman, and he puts those feelings on display in the newest installment of Yumfries's master series. Nub Tales ep. 5: Thunderstorm! is all about how shaman feel like they need a little help.

I especially loved the little Mr. Blizzard bit. The singer was awesome and clearly skilled. And frankly, can't we all agree the draenei are the most suitable eye candy in the game? Male and female. There's no competition. I was thrilled to get to see the draenei cover the Chordettes.

All in all, I still love Nub Tales. Yumfries is doing some great work with this stuff.

As the story goes, Yumfries was cruising Warsong Gulch one day. After a particularly rough match, he noticed that he'd been roughing up one particular restoration shaman over and over. He'd put well over 300k damage into the shaman. Moved by the plight of this shaman, Yumfries created Nub Tales: ep. 4: Rockhorn (The Resto Shammy).

Episode 4 felt a little more disjointed than the other installments of Nub Tales. Still, I especially enjoyed Yumfries's brief parody of PvP videos. (Although, he missed an opportunity by not using Animal I Have Become.) Rockhorn's heartfelt monologue and Seleserene's portrayal of the earnest spirit healer were both spot-on and hilarious. And for all that Rockhorn (The Resto Shammy) is complete and total parody, I can almost see it as a rallying cry for the plight of the resto shammy in PvP.

In the end, I'm forced to agree with Rockhorn on one thing. If you're going to PvP, wear your PvP trinket.
