Cinemassively: Roller Skates
With the buzz surrounding Nylon Pinkney's camera videos heating up, Moopf Murray asked her to create a machinimercial for his line of skates. She came up with a video that featured a guy alone at work whom decided to have some silly fun after hours. A surprise visitor almost spoils his fun, though.One of the things that I adore most about Nylon's work is her unique creativity. Most machinimators probably would have featured a roller rink for a video about skates, but she really went all out. She manages to find ways to make Second Life interesting and fun.
Mysterious Mysteries: Fel Reavers on wheels!
The Burning Legion's dreaded (and sometimes dancing) Fel Reavers have been seen gliding around Hellfire Peninsula for the last week without appearing to walk! Adventurers everywhere have been trying to puzzle out how this could happen, but Lebowski, the Grand Master Engineer at Honor Hold, seems to have come up with the most plausible explanation:"Using my specially-engineered-for-super-stealth [Silent-Strider Kneeboots]," he told Mysterious Mysteries, sporting some very nasty cuts and bruises all over his body, "I managed to get underneath a Fel Reaver before it spotted me! I saw very clearly the roller-skates underneath its feet before it saw me and trampled my body into the dust!" Fortunately, his wife, a night elf priest, came looking for him soon after this horrible accident, and raised him back to life. "At least Lebowski didn't die in the house this time," she said. "The last time he invented something, he got bodily fluids all over our family rug!" Have you noticed any odd creature movement happening around Azeroth or Outland? Creatures jumping up and down in some sort of twisted and evil exercise program as they come into your field of view, perhaps?
