If you were at Dragon*Con this year, and if you attended the World of Warcraft Addons panel, you’ll know that we ran out of time to cover everything. And if you weren’t there or didn’t attend, well, now you know. But Chad was nice enough to run through the entire thing all over again once he got home and recorded it. So, without further ado, but below the fold, presented in four parts, the Dragon*Con MMORPG World of Warcraft Addons panel! Continue reading »

Hey there, everyone! Krystalle here, in for Jhaer, who is off doing that real-life thing. (Crazy bastage, out pugging that outdoor instance in this heat?!) Anyway, as I’m guesting in for him this week, I wanted to show off one of my favorite World of Warcraft machinima. Baron Soosdon’s work has always really impressed me, but his combination of World of Warcraft and Portal was particularly well done, I thought. That, and this song by the Victims of Science is awesome. (It impressed me enough that I’ve since made it the opening song I play when I’m DJing somewhere – a calling card, of sorts.)
But enough about my thoughts on the video, here it is!
Also, I’d be terribly remiss if I was doing machinima without mentioning the incredibly wonderful and talented Christina “Romily” Rollins, who has been coming to Dragon*Con for a few years to share some of the best Machinima from around the world with us. Take, for example, this film she introduced us all to last year. While the game featured isn’t an MMO, I think anyone who has ever looked for a group can sympathize with this Pyro.
If you really enjoy machinima, be sure to check out her panels this year! Currently they are scheduled as follows:
Machinima (Cool, notable, and award-winning) – Friday, 8:30 PM, Savannah Room
Machinima (Comedy, off the wall, or as Grim calls it “fart and dick jokes”) – Saturday, 8:30 PM, Savannah Room
Also note, you’re welcome to bring snacks and drinks since this is set up pretty much just like going to the movies. Only we don’t have ushers, so please clean up after yourselves! 
Nimoy attempts to force Shatner to admit he’s an attention hound.
William Shatner is an excellent addition to the excessively large group of Dragon*Con’ers know as the “Look at me, Look at me!” crowd. However, I believe in his youth, Leonard Nimoy was probably President of that club.
Not a huge amount of time for a long post this week, but the important thing is that the time and care was spent creating a brand new Dragon*Con MMO SnarkCast for you! Are you getting excited? We certainly are as plans are building here at the virtual D*C MMO HQ for this year’s convention.
Anyway, enough of the blathering – here’s the cast for you.
