Good video, it's a keeper.

Oh, and wouldn't it be "checks for free", instead of "chicks for free"?

You rule, and Cyanna rules, and that video rules.

Great video you both made. From the crowd reaction that I saw I think your video should have taken it. I particularly liked the Eva section. (They always seem like they are getting screwed over.

) Great job once again.

YAY!! *gets* ...though my so-called "beta testing" consisted of "YAYOMGALLFORTHEBESTVIDEO!!!!" so... yeah.

*watches*

I think my favorite part is the piano solo. Goes right along with the theme of the song, which is basically "Yay! Suffer! XD" ...and I love wildly out of context stuff, when it works, and this does.

Caught that LH/NGE parallel right at the end, too, that was evil. In a good way.

Good work, you two.

*watches again*
