JT Machinima's song "My Guild" is a humorous and playful tribute to the online multiplayer game World of Warcraft (WoW). The lyrics are filled with references to the game's mechanics, quests, characters, and the overall gaming experience. The song starts by highlighting the value of in-game currency (gold) and the frustration of dealing with inexperienced players who are focused on boosting their character's damage per second (DPS). The lyrics mock these "noobs" and emphasize the importance of earning experience points (XP) through quests, especially those from the Burning Crusade expansion (BC). The chorus celebrates the singer's guild, a group of players who form a strong and successful team in WoW. They have been playing since the game's original release in 2004 (Vanill refers to Vanilla WoW). The lyrics boast about their accomplishments, implying that they are unbeatable and have superior skills compared to other players. Verse 2 delves into the singer's personality and habits as a WoW player. They joke about their penchant for role-playing and mix in references to real-life activities, such as drinking Dos Ogris beer and visiting adult websites while playing. The lyrics also touch on the addictive nature of the game and the singer's commitment, even during bathroom breaks. The bridge of the song takes on a more aggressive tone, as the singer boasts about their power and ability to defeat other players (PvP). They challenge anyone who dares to oppose them, referencing the fearsome Lich King and the powerful gear they possess. The lyrics also mention the declining interest in the game, with players growing tired and subscriptions dropping. Towards the end, the lyrics address the singer's critics, who question why they continue to play if they think the game is dying. The response is that they need something to complain about and that playing and raiding is still enjoyable. They also express their love for raiding dungeons and defeating strong enemies, comparing themselves to the Grim Reaper. The song concludes with a battle cry for the Horde faction (one of the opposing factions in WoW), expressing their power and willingness to go to war against the Alliance factions (such as Gnomes, Dwarves, and Worgen). The lyrics humorously dismiss the Pandaren race and make a final reference to sucking on the singer's "nuts." Overall, "My Guild" is a playful anthem for WoW players, filled with inside jokes and references that resonate with fans of the game. It celebrates the camaraderie and competitiveness of guilds while poking fun at various aspects of the gaming experience.
