My first machinima experience was in 2006. I was travelling to train a vendor company's evening shift on how to do a new job. Note that I said evening shift; during the days, I sat around in a hotel room staring at the walls. I tried to play WoW, but the internet connection was spottier than a dalmation. So, instead, I cruised the internet for WoW related stuff, and encountered my first machinima movie: Illegal Danish. It was clearly a memorable experience for me, and it introduced me to the wonderful, creative world of machinima.
My favorite scene of it, though, was when Kiljoy leapt from the ground, and screamed "Arcanite Reaper Hooooo!" That's why Myndflame's new short, Best of Kiljoy. Arcanite Reaper Hoooo!, is so darn funny to me. For months, every time my little warrior would use his crafted reaper, I'd shout out that eponymous phrase. It was awesome.
Myndflame has also released Illegal Danish: Super Snacks on their YouTube channel. It's been four years since Illegal Danish hit the scene, so it's an awesome to revisit those favorite memories.
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.
Supersnacks is awesome. "So there I was, in the Silithus desert..." "There's an impostor amongst us, and he touched my ass!" "Sand lobsters?! Run for your lives!" "That's what I said, but then my girlfriend said "You need to stop wasting money on stupid crap!"" "Are those the healing pants?" "That's long enough to get the job done... for me anyway." "I've got blessing of Protection!" "I'm not leaving until every one of those Goblin Cakes is IN MY MOUF!" "I'm only a log!"
And finally, "Arcanite Reaper! Hooo..." *whuuum booom* and the return of Mr. Reaper in Escape from Orgrimmar.
I wonder if this series had anything to do with the Bloodied Arc Reaper being the 2 hander of choice for the heirlooms. Bloodied Arcanite Reaper Hoooooooooooooo!
We'll be something like 10 expansions into WoW and we'll all be level 150 and talking about how controversial it is that Blizzard decided to allow hunters to wear plate and this line will STILL BE FUNNY. :D
