The Rise of Shnookums, the first Miss Azeroth is the epic story created by Picklemouse Productions for entry into the Rise to Power contest. This video seems to be a favorite of many people in-the-know about machinima, since it's come to me through more than a few savvy tipsters. I'm forced to admit that Shnookums has managed to completely steal my heart.

The story is about a death knight who finds herself chafing under the yoke of the Lich King's quests. Frustrated by having the blood of peasants soil her otherwise awesome clothing, Shnookums stripped down and headed off to become the first Miss Azeroth. It wasn't an easy journey for her, and she was forced to take action to narrow the playing field. With some very death-knight-appropriate tactics, Shnookums soon rose to power.

The video is a darn lot of fun. It's nice to see another take on the Rise to Power theme, especially once that's done with a certain amount of tongue-in-cheek comedy. I think Shnookums is going to be a favorite of mine for a while.
