With all the panda jokes flying around, plenty of people are expressing some paranoia about Mists of Pandaria. It's way too early to tell whether those jokes are serious concerns or just the sort of knee-jerk hand-wringing that's common on official forums.
This is not the first time critics have freaked out about an upcoming expansion. Lagspike Films created this parody video to shout out to those folks who feel every expansion is the death of WoW. If every expansion is An Inconvenient Expansion, when can we finally be happy? Just remember, Cataclysm turned out all right. Mists will be awesome. Interested in the wide world of machinima?

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.

There are uncomfortable truths about expansion. In An Inconvenient Expansion by Lagspike Films, Al Boar desperately attempts to warn us of these dangers.
It's been a while since we've heard a lot from Lagspike Films, but this is certainly a fun movie. The technical details are awesome, and the creators did a great job of framing the story. Here's hoping we see more in the future. 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?
