I don't usually watch videogame award shows on TV, but I think I'll be making an exception for the Spike TV VGA show on December 13th. Why? Well, they are going to be showing the opening cinematic for the Burning Crusade! What could be better than that? How about a sneak preview right here and now?
One of the folks who attended the award show taped the presentation with what appears to behis her camcorder. You can see the opening cinematic on the big movie-like screen, clearly hear the voice-overs and the music. Yes, it has the quality of that copy of Spiderman 2 you bought from the vendor in New York City, but it is still plenty worth watching. And we get the full treatment Wednesday night!

eh.
Too much blood elf and draenei doing mundane things, not enough of the new talents/skills coming in the expansion.

wow.

I didn't like how at the beginning the Draenei was just reading a book. I mean, wtf, LAME. The mage doing the polymorph made me ROFL though, so it's all good.

Promoting literacy is NOT what WoW is all about. I give this video a 1/10 (that one point is given for the hot bloodelf)

All in all, entertaining. /agree with Arbuz, I chuckled mightily at the polymorph... just thinking about it makes me /grin.

I love it to death! However, you said "his", the video poster and maker is a "her".

??
of course it's WHAT wow is all about ! Libram, spell books, old ancient book, novels and myriad of text to read to understand quests and worlds, wow is all about literacy. And sure, a paladin is reading some awesome books too.
tss tss, people only wanting big-exciting-uber-blockbuster-big-badaboum-fight-explosion-with-E.T. :)

I personally love the original one - but this one, meh, not so much...
I mean, it was alright...
I don't know, maybe it was just the bad video/audio and it may look better when we see the real thing.

Oh my god. *drool*

Um, it's a CG movie, not a gameplay movie. It looks great. Blizzard once again sets the bar for quality CG.

Mage...Polymorph...so random, but completely friggin awesome.

I think the live choir was a great touch, imo. I would not have predicted that when I first read that it was premiering during the awards.
