Burning Man Grand Finale!!

Damn I wanted to write that title in ALLCAPS, I'm just that excited about finally finishing my blog series. Even though I only did 30% of all the content that I was aiming for, this Interactive Youtube Machiname Adventure has turned out just great! It's got:

• 28 different movie scenes
• 17 choices to make
• 6 different endings
• over 20 minutes of machinema film
• plenty of nerd-humor

So get ready to view this movie! Note that after your first choice you will be redirected to Youtube for the rest of the show.



By the way: be sure to report any broken parts (hopefully there are none) in the comments folks!

Right, and with that my machinema blog has officially come to an end! It's time to move to a new and perhaps even more insane nerd-project :D. It has been fun! Last but not least: thanks to all my fans!!

Finale Teaser 2

This blog is haunting me. As in: I really want and need it to have a finale. After finally finishing that crappy Dragon Age sequel (razorfistx even warned me), I had some time off to finally start work on Burning Man 10: The Finale!

So here I am, with new teaser material. I've been working a whole afternoon on the story, with Cyrelle and Ygdrasil sitting behind me, trying to get a sneak preview. I've got two screenshots in store for my fans: one of the storyboard (but zoomed out: it's a teaser after all!) and one of the corresponding legend.

What does this mean? Well, for starters: I will have to get another month's worth of playing time. For added fun this coincides with Patch 4.2 "Firelands", giving me extra value for my money. However, even more important: I get to socialize with my guildies again! They are very quiet at our lovely new website, so they must be very active in-game.

Anyhow, hopefully within a month or so: the final episode!

Nature's calling

When I started my blog I intended to make my comics and movies mainly about Guy Montag being rude to other characters. For so far I have accomplished that goal it was mainly through making fun of druids. So why stop now?



Ygdrasil rightfully commented it should've been shot from the side or 'en profil' to make it look more like Manneken Pis from Brussels. Alas I asked her opinion too late (when I was near finished) so I hope readers still got the clue without having to read the rest of the post.

Of course a big thank you to the druid that was willing to pose for this week's comic. Not sure if (s)he wants to be in the credits with full character name, but nonetheless: lovely and timely help, muchos gracias!

In other yet non-druid related news: Guy Montag is now level 81! Ding!!

Account expiry

No epic storyline this week, but more a short machinema to show my mental state concerning WoW at this moment. It did allow me to play with the WoW Model Viewer. Took a little while to get used to the program (not to mention finding your way through the maze of available downloads), so the result is short:



The model viewer thing is pretty fun actually. Next week I think I'll try to figure out how to chain animation sequences in it.

Oh right, and perhaps I should actually play Guy some this week as well.

Edit: oh WoW, my link to the Throne of the Four Winds "Strategy Guide" on Wowhead has been deleted without notice. I should make more movies that get downrated, removed and generate hate-mail :D.

Individualism is overrated anyway

A blog on leveling from 80 to 85 in WoW! But which character to choose for this epic journey...

Guy Montag: I choose you! Not because you're my main, because you're not. That's my tank, Athelstane. Not because you were my very first character, because you were not. That's my (woefully ugly dwarven female) priest Kiradin. I chose you because of all my characters I suspect you'll be best at pissing off quest mobs, quest givers, other characters (and players), and all the while burn stuff To The Ground.

Off to Cataclysm we are!
