Can't say I'm a huge fan of the music, but this is just too damn cool not to share (and didn't appear in a search):

Yeah, it's pretty awesome :) I'm sure he must have spent alot of time on that!

That was pretty good.

Had to mute it about 2 minutes in though. To put so much effort into something then pick such a ridiculous song was unfortunate.

It is rather awesome but it's not really a machinima. It's a 3d animation done using WoW assets. Machinima tends to be seen as films done with in the limits of the game engine... this was all done in a 3d program from the look of it rather than wow it's self. Nit picking but still.

Still it's awesome and it's made me want to try and do something like it. Which i've been meaning to do for years but i'm not a 3d animator (yet anyway heh) so it would likely kill me.

THAT is what WoW should be like in game playing styles.

Very good impressive video.

Thank god I'm not the only one that thought the music was a terrible choice.

Better than a Uwe Boll film.

I thought music (especially the beat) fit the film quite well. Makes a change from the bloody Matrix music anyway.

Incredible animation though. The little touches all over the place really add up to something great.

Yeah I saw this a few days back and enjoyed it. The music wasn't that bad to be honest, the beat did help it a long I thought. Overall I enjoyed the animation.

Wowinsider has been posting about this movie for a couple days and I've been putting off watching it. Seeing it posted here, I just couldn't resist any longer. It's amazing, and while the music was off-putting at first, I think it fit well and by the end of the movie I actually liked it. Of course, that song would fit into my guilty pleasures category so I'm probably a bit biased.

Am I the only one that kinda liked the music? :(

I thought the music was good and actually give the creator respect for the fact that they chose something other than the ubiquitous techno/rock selections you usually hear.

Awesome movie all around.

Nothing wrong with the music. Distinguishing between personal taste and universal truth, now that's tricky.

As for the animations and general flow, best WoW machinima yet.

As for the animations and general flow, best WoW machinima yet.Well, it should be one of the best considering it wasn't actually done in-game. :p

I know, I just hope this experiment (http://kotaku.com/5113052/writers-from-the-simpsons-futurama-and-family-guy-working-on-machinima-experiment) uses the same method.

If all that was done in game, or Blizzard decides to make WoW more flexible like that, I'll be back on WoW in a flash.
