Good day, friends! It is I, Mathew, once again stepping in for the illustrious grand master of Moviewatch, Mr. Michael Gray. He's on assignment. Somewhere. Probably at the bottom of a ditch. It was a long weekend, let me tell you.

Horror abounds in The Lake, an awesome entry in the 2010 48 Hour Film Project. The Lake took home awards for Best Directing, Best Acting, Best Use of Prop and Best Use of Line. Congratulations are in order -- and once you watch, you'll see why. Almost Wicker Man-esque (the original Wicker Man from 1973, which is completely and utterly awesome, and not the Nicolas Cage abomination from 2006), The Lake masterfully uses some of horror's basic conventions to tell a fun and simple story. Plus it was all done in 48 hours! One of the things that is definitely not on the list of things I can do in 48 hours is make a movie of this quality.

The voice acting stands out as excellent (technically, award-worthy!), and all in all, it's a great piece. Congratulations on all the wins, guys!

Nethaera announced today a hotfix that was applied over the holidays last week. There were issues in Lake Wintergrasp, the level 80 realm PvP zone, that prevented "objects" changing factions. This has now been fixed.

This included things like the teleport pads outside the base and several NPCs. Because of this bug people were often times only able to attempt the raid boss once. When the group wiped they went to the teleport pat to zone back in. It didn't work. However now it does, and people can be happy.

This comes from a post entitled "November / December Hotfixes," so we're assuming that there'll be more of them on their way. We'll keep you updated.
