    Very cool! I'd love to see some details on how you did the effects - that's some impressive stuff for low-budget.

    It makes a lot more sense than the original song.

  • Spencer Hood 9 months ago
    The D&D references are great! But it seems like you put alot of work into this film. The production value is really good!
  •  
  • Aimee Santana 9 months ago
    I was having such a crappy day, after a crappy night last night. Someone sent me this video, and I was laughing so hard that tears were rolling down my cheeks. My 1 yr old even got in on the action by dancing along, which only made it better.

    I can't believe how awesome the quality of everything in this video is. You are incredible!
  •  
  • Phillip Sobel 9 months ago
    Absolutely awesome! A vast improvement over the original. Welcome to the dizzy ride of overnight internet fame, for once it's well deserved :)

    I would have bought the video but since it was available for free download I decided to buy the iTunes audio version so I could make some contribution. Great work, I look forward to your next video. Oh, and get yourself on Twitter!

    Great stuff Connor. Hopefully my Kotaku.com tip that got published earlier ( kotaku.com/#!5799257/embrace-your-roots-and-roll-a-d6 ) will give you the kudos you deserve.

    Btw the girl singer is hot!! How come no one has mentioned that yet? I hope it is not a political correctness thing. Is she your girlfriend? If she's an actress or single, she'll be in demand either way after this video.

    Look forward to seeing more stuff from you Connor.
  • Phillip Sobel 9 months ago
    So glad you said that, she really is heartstoppingly gorgeous...

    ...too much? :)
  • Anthony Ussery 9 months ago
    No kidding, she is something else.
    If you know your d8 from your d10, you are at risk of sighing dreamily during or after watching this.
  • Dominique Louis 9 months ago
    Not that many hot D&D chicks in the armed forces then?

    This is awesome!!!

    I just shared this with the people in my larp, and you and your friends are hereby invited to Realms of Conflict - we have dancing trolls, incompetant ninjas, Dirge and the Darkadians...we laugh a lot, and it's free to NPC (gorgeous camping in the Santa Cruz woods plus food, a moving truck filled with costumes and weapons and a professional makeup artist onsite all weekend for the monster faces).
    roclarp.com/
    Not sure where you live, but we have people fly from different states and even countries. :-)

    We are going to make a video. Are you on Facebook? Can you friend me so I can ask you a few questions? Much appreciated!!!

    FYI, check out this Thriller Video with Dickens Faire zombies (I'm in purple on the right):
    youtube.com/watch?v=PPHvg34n7Kk

    Thanks again for the laughs! Great job!!! :-)
  • Anthony Ussery 9 months ago
    You should definitely move RoC and everyone in it to the East coast. I'd be there in a heartbeat.
  • Kathryn Perko 9 months ago
    I know some people from college who are in the SCA out there in DC. I think there is also a good larp in CT. Or fly out here - some people fly 3,000 miles for the weekends we do it. It's that awesome!
  • Anthony Ussery 9 months ago
    Hm. Those are all viable options for me at some point or another down the road. Next time I'm in WA, I may just have to go on a short road trip.
    Thanks for the info!
  • Dominique Louis 9 months ago
    Kathryn, pardon my ignorance, I've been out of the AD&D loop for probably more years than you've been alive, so what is a larp?
  • ivarhaakonson 9 months ago
    live action role play. very entertaining with the right group of people.
  • Kathryn Perko 9 months ago
    It's a lot of fun. Where do you live? Check out larp alliance....

  • Anthony Ussery 9 months ago
    Is that wizard Elven or did she take a martial weapon proficiency? Yeah, that's right. I asked that. 4.0 wizards don't use bows.
    Man, you guys are amazing. I'm pretty sure this is going to take over the Internet fast at this rate. Makes me miss my group back home.
    I've been listening to this on and off for two days now,
    which is a feat since you get a 14.4k connection tops out here in this part of Iraq.
    I literally had to watch it in segments every hour or so. Totally worth it.
  • Kathryn Perko 9 months ago
    LOL, I thought maybe she had multiple personalities.
  • Anthony Ussery 9 months ago
    Haha. The possibilities are endless.

    This video made my husband and me laugh [he's our DM, I'm 'just' the healer =P]. Thanks for the good work!

    I notice, tho, that downloading the video is currently 'unavailable'. Is this a vimeo site glitch or purposeful? Because I'd love to add this to my "Cheer Me up MVs" folder =)
  •  
  • simdude2u 9 months ago
    LOL! My nerdy friends would get a kick out of this.

    Doesn't board gamers drink mountain dew or is it just console gamers?
    Is it just me or are most readheads nerdy?
