Hell, it also stands as an interesting commentary on the way the past is lost and forgotten as we forge ahead towards the future in real life.

I like this video more than I thought I would because it's clear enough to indicate that the artist had some intended meaning, but it's open to interpretation by the viewer. Often that type of open-ended narrative can feel like the artist just threw a bunch of random crap together and called it "open to interpretation" but I don't get that sense on this one.

Would you say, then, that the "deletion" scene was a character re-customization from male to female?

I'd rather say that the paladin is an old friend/lover of the woman. You see them on a weddingpicture about halfway through the movie. That could point to players leaving the game and leaving other people behind.

I love the whole vibe of this video :) And ofcourse the effects are something only Baron Soosdon can do.

i totally agree with you cutaia. After reading in the description that it was confusing as hell, i didn't have high hopes. But halfway through it became evident that soosdon was making a comment about the cataclysm and how the game has changed. I really liked it.
and here's to hoping soosdon keeps the machinima coming, haven't heard much from him in a while, but haven't read his blog in longer so, who knows!
