I kept looking for Star Wars references in the video, and think I spotted at least a few. The story is quick and amusing, and the voice acting is very well done. Cody definitely has a great flair for his comedy, and I'm pretty sure future work is going to be completely astounding. This is absolutely one hell of a first machinima, and Cody should be proud of the work he's done. This is an incredibly smooth video. My favorite was the action sequence of an airborn attack on Orgrimmar. Great stuff.

Heh, that was pretty good. I love Dwarves.

"Let's nuke em from orbit!" would honestly be a suitable Alliance battle-shout.

Excellent first piece. I chuckled pretty hard at the choice of music near the end.

I love Dwarfs so much...

I love how he rides the bomb at the end, great Dr. Strangelove reference.

That's a first machinima?! What the hell?! Awesome! Very well done, especially considering it's his/her first machinima. *thumbs up*

Really cute. I enjoyed it. Loved the air raid siren. :D
Glaras Apr 19th 2010 1:21PM
Nice job! I loved that, particularly the "gun camera" work that frankly looked pretty realistic!
Wowcoholic Apr 19th 2010 1:28PM
I'll be the heinous one and point out a flaw! :D
Um, the Stormwind diplomat's clothing changes in her crossing the floor of the bar cut scene....
Other than that: LOL, great piece!

I hadn't even noticed that you're right! It goes from the Formal Dangui to the Dark Green Wedding Hanbok and back to the Dangui

I loved it! That's my kind of humor. The best part was seeing the reaction of the Alliance diplomat, pure comedy gold!

I love the Modern Warfare 2 Chopper Gunner/AC130 camera job.

omg. I was just thinking that myself. He did an awesome just recreating that look, right down to the red rectangles around the horde. : )

"I'll take that as a 'no', then."
Excellent!

I love the Dwarves' idea of "diplomatic negotiations", though.
Tokkar Apr 19th 2010 2:46PM
My only criticism is the inconsistency of the sound levels. Other than that, this was great! I especially loved the radio channel surfing!
Hih Apr 19th 2010 3:44PM
I agree. The sound levels were a little inconsistent, and it was hard to understand what the characters were saying sometimes, but other than that, I loved it. 9/10.
Dreyja Apr 19th 2010 3:28PM
LOL, LOVED it! That tactic would blow up in our faces BTW, we'd be handing things to Emo McAngry face but great for the purpose of this story. :D
Anything with Dwarves in the a main role makes me all warm and fuzzy. ;D
