WoW Moviewatch: Cruel, Cruel Moon

Moviewatch has featured Cruel, Cruel Moon by Spiff previously, but we're covering the machinima contest winners from BlizzCon 2009 this week. So, it's with pleasure that I present this video for a second time. The movie was especially pertinent to this year's BlizzCon, since that's when playable Worgen were announced as part of the Cataclysm expansion.
The original song was actually by Paul & Storm, a pair of comedy musicians that many of the WoW crowd probably already know. In summary, the song and video is about a chap who loves a woman. But that woman has a furry side. When the cruel full moon presents itself each evening, the protagonist must fear for his very life. (Or face the idea of having to shoot down his beloved with a shotgun blast of silver.)
The video is a lot of fun. There's even a small part of me that wonders at the roleplay possibilities for Worgen inherent in this kind of story. Okay, I mostly found the video pretty funny.

I'd love to see a new version of this once Cataclysm hits.

Yeah, seeing this video with the new worgen models and animations would be pretty sweet.

Did Blizzard announce something about Wargan? Wogone? Everyone sure seems excited about something! I mean, what's next? Grass in Desolace? When goblins fly (without hurting themselves....)

Just as a side note, the video shown at Blizzcon was slightly different from the one shown here. He removed the "American Werewolf in London" pics due to potential copyright concerns.

hehe. Almost as good as Ozzy starting off the Blizzcon concert with Bark at the Moon.
