Occasionally, we see a movie and know right away that it's going to become a legend. Meet the Hunter by Lagspike Films is exactly that kind of video. Maybe this shouldn't be surprising; Lagspike is responsible for other great machinima like An Inconvenient Expansion and World of Workcraft.
When the staff saw this video, we were all blown away. There's so many things to say about it that I hesitate to do so; I don't want to set up an impossible expectation. The animation is fantastic, the comedic timing was dead on, and the jokes were all just-right. The graphics are amazing and the voice acting was perfect.
Suffice it to say, we think you should take the time to watch Meet the Hunter, and then come back and let us know what you think.

He did a really good job with music too. Loved the part when music from a beautiful mind came on when he did all the math in his head -> learning how to shoot.
Excellent machinimating, neat story, funny. A++! Someone needs to tie this guy to his computer chair and have him make movies for the other classes as well.
While I started out as a night elf huntard with any 2H weapon equipped that had higher damage (not even dps), I must say I don't understand it when my orc hunter runs across some hunter with a strength sword, dodge trinket, and spirit necklace at level 80+. It makes my head implode.
That said, hysterical video and often too true. Great movie overall. And really, it IS all hunter loot =P

I love it just for the pet in the sidecar of the motorcycle. I'll say it again, Blizzard needs to make this happen!

I can't tell if these are tears of mirth or self-pity.

Awesome video. Had to comment solely because of the "Yoink".

So recently my 6 year old and 5 year old both started playing wow...... coincidentally, they both chose hunters. Just saying.
Epic machinima. So funny, thanks for sharing it with us.

It was definitely funny, though I have to admit, when the title was a "Meet the..." I expected a TF2-styled video. Great work regardless.
