Oh man, that was amazing. I didn't see the Crayon Crawler in the new Monster Manual though, I guess they had to cut it out :(
Edit: The Loading.Ready.Run guys make a lot of other awesome movies. And I love the song so much (spoilers for those who are actually waiting for the books to come out):
Mike Mearls: The system is now simplified to the point where it can be run without an understanding of basic math.
One, two, three, four
That's the way we count the orc
Out across the battlemat
With his gear and heavy axe
One, two, three, four
That's the way we count d4's
When we use our daggers to
Eviscerate him two by two
One, two, three, four
That's the way we count the hoard
When we loot the bloody corpse
After slaying mister orc
Pretty funny :)
But I still like 4e more than 3.5.

Of course! How can you not like it better, I can learn my ABC's and stop the demon horde in the same game!!
Seriously though, I like 4e more than 3.5. And on another note, the LRR guys play D&D a lot, and it shows in their other videos. Actually, there the only media I've seen that actually describes D&D accurately, most other shows tend to use a vague idea of it that isn't necessarily true.
