WoW Moviewatch: The Adventures of Thaddius Gallina - Part 1

The Adventures of Thaddius Gallina - Part 1 had me at "Hello." Or, rather, it had me at its production swipe, emblazoned with the logo for "Drunken Dwarf Productions." You can't go wrong with that kind of production title. The six-minute movie is a teaser/introduction to sterivers's machinima film, "The Adventures of Thaddius Gallina."
The nominal hero barely shows up in this bit, since this is a prologue piece. It's setting the tone for Thaddius's world and genre, prepping us for the comedic film. In summary, the Horde were doing pretty well and in charge of things. Then, the Alliance got together, and through rigorous "Questing," have been driving back the Horde.
This prologue really sets up the Alliance to be a bunch of silly, jingoistic dorks. They show up to an Undead's cave to retrieve a stolen artifact. The Undead apologizes immediately, claiming he'd just bought the porch light from a Goblin. He even offered to give it back with no hard feelings. The Alliance completely ignore him, and hijinks ensue. I look forward to seeing the Gnome get punted after this behavior.
The next part should be out fairly soon, and hopefully it can continue the good work.

This is way too funny, the RP is so danm awesome.
I love it. Then it take a totally different turn right at the last minute, epicly heroic theme and scenic shots and comes right around for a very funny last gag.

The sad thing is a lot of Allaince RP is that bad.... belay that a lot of RP peroid is overdone lets not forget the dear Tauren Shamen that has to have a ten minuet RP session about killing a quillboar...... or the Orc that invokes all of his ancestors every 30 seconds....

Haha. I just rolled on an RP server, and I have seen some pretty bad RP. However, there's a group of completely awesome RP'ers I chill with. Haven't done Horde-side yet, but my main is being x-ferred for that purpose.
Ideally, we try to look for people who genuinely want to RP (not looking for 'teh cyborz') and bring them into the fold, to teach by example. :D

That was actually very well done. Haven't seen a lot of good stuff show up on moviewatch recently. How refreshing.
