The ROFLBear Promo is a short, promotional video for Myndflame's upcoming ROFLBear series. It's a brief advertisement for their new daily machinima show, to help get the word out that ROFLBear will be starting soon in the spring. In case you've been living under a rock, Myndflame is the mad-scientist machinima house behind the Illegal Danish series. Their work is always funny, creative, and interesting.
ROFLBear is going to be a daily series, with five new episodes each week. This is an incredibly aggressive and ambitious schedule, of course. If each new episode of ROFLBear is as fun as this promo, though, we should probably expect ROFLBear to become a huge, new force in the World of Warcraft community. No one else is offering this kind of daily video content, which would mean Myndflame is once again forging new territory. I'm very excited for the group, and wish them great success in this new effort. It looks great so far.
Take some time and check out the Myndflame site for more information.
Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch! Have suggestions for machinima we ought to feature? Toss us an e-mail at machinima AT wow DOT com.
Promos are generally a bad idea for something like machinema. And because the irony is super thick today, if anyone should know that Promos are a bad idea, it's Myndflame. Illegal Danish 2 was a debacle, a poorly scripted (I'm being generous with the term "scripted" here) stream-of-consciousness-masquerading-as-plot nightmare that in no way resembled the promo that we all sat with bated breath for literally years, watching and rewatching as the project came closer and closer to the vaporware line without actually ever hitting it. And the fundraiser controversy on top of it...why does noone remember this? Illegal Danish 1 was awesome, but too many people seem eager to cut Myndflame a free pass forevermore because of it.
I wish Myndflame the best of luck, but I'm going to continue ignoring them until I hear news of actual, quality, finished product coming out of them again.
I'm just happy they're one of the few machinima-makers that don't resort to making belf music videos, and the strong pre-TBC vibes that come with their videos. :D
Aye, i do like the feel of their stuff...when it actually happens. Problem is they've done little of substance since Illegal Danish 1.
If this daily thing indeed happens, and is quality, I will declare "Yay, Myndflame the Awesome is back!" Until then, I reserve any and all enthusiasm. And until then, I think statements like "Their work is always funny, creative, and interesting." are giving far more credit than what's due.
I can't wait for this. I luvs me TEH funneh and the myndflame peeps tend to deliver on this. I could see myself wanting a ROFLbear t-shirt. I kinda craved one from Theory of a Death Knight.

Aaaahhh Illegal Danish, probably my favorite machinima ever!

Hmmm, a promised WoW machinima..... must mean it will never be released or delayed for three years.
This is why Blizzard uses the word "Soon", l2soon people.

Old bear model is old.
Tori Mar 4th 2010 1:37PM
I'm kinda curious as to why they chose to use the old Druid model for this.
Jamie Mar 4th 2010 1:40PM
@Tori: Because it's better than old Tauren cat model?

Might as well call me Patrick, because I apparently live under a rock.
