WoW Moviewatch: The Achiever 3 - Going Down!

Origano is back with the third installment of The Achiever. This episode features similar Achievement-fetching exploits as the first two, but it's definitely starting to come up a notch. As a nice bit of continuity, the new installment is voice-acted by Farinar, who you might recall from Dr. McNab Destroys Halloween yesterday. The Achiever 3 - Going Down! also enjoys a guest appearance by Whowho, one of the bloggers over at the Myndflame site.
I think Origano is getting better and better. He's resolved the challenges he had with a muddled soundtrack, and all the dialogue is crisp, clear, and easily understood. I also think the humor is stronger than before, especially now that he's grown the plot with a rival gameshow.
The Achiever 3 - Going Down is definitely the strongest episode of the series, and my hat's off to Origano. He also gets props for not succumbing to the natural double-entendre from the achievement title, which has probably got to be the most linked Achievement in WoW's Trade Chat.

This series does continue to improve in many ways. The audio was much better, and the graphics in general were also an improvement, however I still have difficulty understanding the Tauren.
This video seemed way too long to me. I have enjoyed the previous installments despite their shortcomings, and even though this edition improved on those things, I was put off by the excessive length. And the background characters in Booty Bay and the temple were overkill.
The narrator at the beginning of the video did remind me of the voice-overs from the old PS Oddworld games so it scores some nostalgia points with me.

agreed on the too long. Could have used some much tighter editing, but the story line was still fun.
A simple solution to the voice problems may be to just subtitle the video. I know it is a bit of a copout, but sometimes that works quite will

Meh, didn't like it, but it does fit nicely with moviewatch's current trend of featuring movies with barely understandable characters. Turn down the bass so we can freaking hear what you're saying!
