Merry Christmas to you!

I wish you a magical, wonderful, extraordinary Christmas with lots of good stuff under your tree - shiny new pc parts, addictive games, unhealthy food wrapped in gold paper, awesome toys with lots of buttons or whatever else your creative mind might be wishing for :)

The Story

A wonderful song, an amazing voice and some visuals to go with it.
Cranius performs the song "The Story", originally by Brandi Carlile.

Enjoy :)

Guess what

Aion was just a bit too tempting to stay away (wOOt I haz WINGS!!!)

There goes my plan to be productive...

Remember Big Blue Dress?

Cranius finally published the song on his new album, together with "Darrowshire", "Don't Make Me Get My Main" and other WoW related songs. Check it out :)

Don't Make Me Get My Main

I must admit, somewhere between the awesome costume contest and the catching striptease dance contest at Blizzcon I fell asleep in my chair. I couldn't believe it when I suddenly heard that well known song by Cranius filling the huge hall, together with the laughter and screaming of the people surrounding me. We won first prize and the audience went crazy watching our video.

I haven't been able to see and hear the reaction of an audience that big upon one of my videos until then, and it was an amazing experience. Neither Cranius nor I could get rid of that big grin in our faces for quite some time. So, to everyone who was there: Thank you! You really made my day :)

Here's the movie featuring Cranius' song "Don't Make Me Get My Main":



Also a big GZ to X-cross who won the grand prize with his hilarious movie about the fate of a cute "Don't take candle" family. I laughed so hard! But see for yourself:

Blizzcon and stuff

Some days ago Cranius and I finished the video for the machinima contest at Blizzcon. It features a new and very cool song created by Cranius.

Two very nice and patient players helped us with some acting, Cranius directed the scenes and I filmed the whole thing. As always we had a lot of fun creating the scenes and putting them together to the hilarious music video that came out.

No spoilers about the content here. The only thing I can tell is that this video will show an original World of Warcraft experience made by every player who ever decided to play on a PvP server ;)

I passed on using any Wowmodelviewer tricks, background changes in Photoshop or other fancy stuff, which was quite a challenge. It's all about showing a typical aspect of the real game in a hopfully very entertaining, authentic and original way.

We will release the movie after Blizzcon, i.e. end of August.

Until then I'm gonna enjoy the summer. Imagine me sitting under a tree, listening to some music, reading a book or writing a story, far away from any screen and "Unknown error". That's the plan.

Btw... I'm gonna be at Blizzcon :)
