The new video from Obsidian Brand and Blue Dragon Productions features the vocal stylings of Sharm. The team was feeling inspired by Portal's theme song, Still Alive, and couldn't help themselves -- they had to convert it over to our beloved WoW.

Still Subscribed is somewhere between a love letter from Blizzard and a deep, lyrical complaint about the state of the game. While I don't necessarily agree with the editorial stance about the developers, the video is incredibly well performed and executed. The music is awesome, of course, but the words manage to maintain the same poetry as the original. Still Subscribed is just very well done.

This is definitely an excellent piece. I hope to see more stuff with this kind of quality, because this was just amazing.

Teddy is the new machinima created by Raven Bristow and Chris Borrett, with some additional cowriting by Diru. The video was inspired by a draenei girl by Olivia's pond, with further influence from old silent films.

The video tells a sweet, heart-breaking tale of a little draenei girl who loves her teddy. I enjoyed the way the movie was framed and loved the plot progression. My strongest feedback would be that the opening should be a little faster; it's risky to leave an audience waiting so long before starting the plot. Overall, though, Teddy was a fun, touching movie.
