This movie was created by RedEyeLobine for the Baron Soosdon's Starcraft 2 beta key contest. Black Temple is probably the finest raid movie I've ever seen about the Burning Crusade raid instance of the same name. Not only are some favorite fights represented, there are call-outs to some very well-known internet memes. Not to mention, it's sheer 8-bit genius. I'd ditch WoW to play this version in a heartbeat.
I got obsessed with watching the warrior's rage bar, though. I don't know. Just, something about my inner power-gamer kept staring at the number. And the big rage climax at the end was not disappointing. I guess now we know who really wasn't prepared, emo-nelf-demon-guy!
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 email at machinima AT wow DOT com.
It's 16-bit actually. The music is made in Mario Paint Composer, which is based on the "game" Mario Paint to SNES, and SNES in 16-bit, not 8-bit. But it sounds great anyhow!

It's more pixelated rather than 8-bit, isn't it?
Cephas Apr 8th 2010 12:28PM
Yeah, I'd say it's trying to get a little 8-bit feel without all of the sprite artwork that would be necessary to make it actually look 8-bit.

Yeah. It felt lazy to me. (Especially considering he ganked someone else's music for it.)

No you can't. Because if you could, you wouldn't be trolling a news website.

The subtle rickrolling was pretty good. The rest of it too.
