WoW Moviewatch: Momento Adventures: Ximista's Origins

Today on Moviewatch we bring to you a different sort of Machinima, a blend of in-game artwork and scenes as the backdrop to animated characters. At first I was rather skeptical of how it all looked and if it'd work, but by about a minute into it I was digging it.
The movie is in French with English subtitles, so those of us who don't speak the language of fries are in luck (okay, I kid... I kid... It's Friday, I'm allowed to make bad jokes.).
Definitely check out this very well animated cartoon. It runs just under 16 minutes too, so you'll have a bit of entertainment. And big props to Krys on his accomplishment.

Wait... wasn't this featured before?
Besides, I was thinking you guys would have put up the Spiffworld video of "First of May" today.

Hmm... I searched our site via google and by other internal tagging means, and I wasn't able to find that it had been posted before. Perhaps someone here can correct me and provide a link?
If it was, I sincerely apologize.
And RE: First of May... While I find that one of the best Warcraft videos ever, we get so much hate mail for posting an adult orientated movie that it's not worth the headache. :/ But trust me, I've watched it like three times today.

I know you guys have featured this guy before, but I think people are thinking of one of his other episodes like:

Oh actually, I believe this is the same video with different titles. So yeah, you've posted it before.

Here you go, Adam! http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/02/14/wow-moviewatch-summing-up-valentines-day/
As for hatemail, First of May led to 58 comments, 4 emails asking for me to be fired, and a giant internal debate on morality. Good times!

First of May was probably my unofficial blogging mascot. I also mentioned it in a couple other posts:

Only 58 comments? The real good controversies here usually have at least 300 or so.

"But I don't want to! ... You should have played Freecell instead."
That was a bad translation, he actually says "You should have played Minesweeper instead" (Démineur).
And yes, this has been featured before... :-(

I was really excited an thought there was a new vid in that series being featured, but this is a repeat. :(
Huemongous May 1st 2009 12:17PM
yea. this was featured before. still cute and funny but seen it.

Regardless of having been featured before, it was hilarious, and hearing it in French was all the better, that wouldn't have been nearly as funny in English.

Aw, wish you guys had shown first of may! People who find that offensive seriously have issues. -_-
Regardless, even if this has been posted, I've never seen it! It was pretty good, I'll agree. I really liked laggy lock, he gave me some lols :3
Palatel May 1st 2009 12:51PM
Again, what is first of may?

"First of May" is a WoW Music Video to the song by the same title by John Coulton. It's a really funny song, but what Adam meant is they don't feel like dealing with the BS storm from people complaining since the song shows like, naked WoW characters having sex. It's a song about celebrating Spring by having sex outside :p and theres a pesky dwarf running around naked chasing a sheep.

As funny as it would be to see again, it barely survived the first posting of it. As least you're all carrying on the legacy off-site.

Adam that was both silly and hilarious, enjoyed very much :)
