Even Blood Elves want to come home for Christmas. For today's Movie Watch we present Baron Soosdon's depiction of a Paladin's epic journey through the Borean Tundra to be with his family. This video was created as the producer's entry to the WeGame Christmas machinima contest of 2008.

As always, the images are crisp and visually stunning. Watching the video we get a nice tour of the Borean Tundra. There is very little action in this clip, more or less just one quick fighting scene during the opening credits. Aside from a couple of NPC interactions, the video is mostly a Paladin riding around. Emotes have a limited capacity to capture the true emotions of homecoming. I think Baron Soosdon did as good a job as he could, but I felt a little bit let down. The end should be heartwarming but it's just kind of there.

If you're making your own epic journey this Christmas season, slow down and be safe. It's nasty out there.

Baron Soosdon has done it again. After the exquisite Sin City Azeroth and the trippy Unlimited Escapism, he has taken stunning visuals one step further. A player sent him modded files of Netherstorm and Stranglethorn Vale melded together into one big, purple, pulsating, crystalline jungle of psychedelic beauty and the Baron has filmed it for us.

Don't bother looking for a plot or a PvP technique. This video is about two vastly different worlds colliding. And I'm glad they did.

Now get back to finishing that music video for L70 Etc you've been slaving over, Baron. Your public awaits.

The fascinating things about Baron Soosdon's machinima is the way he tells us an entire story with images and editing rather than pages of dialog. (And I cannot hope to sum up the story being told -- take a look for yourself!) It's different than many of the pieces of machinima we post, but I think no less entertaining for it.

I don't think I ever really understood the How to Paladin videos. I tended to watch them with a sort of morbid fascination, trying to glean some comprehension of their purpose and meaning -- obviously crucial to my understanding of the Paladin class. However, for Baron Soosdon's tribute to the series (seen above!), I can safely say has nothing whatsoever to teach you about the Priest class. It is, however, entertaining in the same way the original How to Paladin videos are.

If you aren't familiar with the movie Sin City, this World of Warcraft recreation by Baron Soosdon should give you an idea of what to expect from the movie or comics. And my only question is... Gnomes? Of all things, Gnomes?! I suppose the female Gnome works best for the line about eyes, but somehow Gnomes don't speak to me of the atmosphere presented in the original.
