WoW Moviewatch: World of Warcrack
I don't normally check out videos with no thumbnail preview or mid to high quality streams. However, World of Warcrack seemed to be garnering high ratings and comments. What I discovered was a really humorous take on WoW addiction. This video is a must see in my book!Filmed at a University of Texas campus, the portrayal of college stereotypes are pretty spot on. Bryan Canatella also did a good job of illustrating that the pot shouldn't be calling the kettle black, as was the case with the heroin addict that felt his friend was addicted to Warcraft. Definitely check out the hilarious fight scene. You won't regret it.[Via Warcraftmovies.com]Previously on Moviewatch ...
A very Guild Christmas
Oh my. The folks from The Guild have assembled this short montage of holiday songs refitted just for your (you Warcraft players) enjoyment. If you're a huge Guild fan, you'll probably love it, and if not, you'll probably be a little turned off by the awkward singing in the beginning.But I have to say: stick with it. Because the last song parody is pretty much golden. If you've ever spent a major holiday playing World of Warcraft, you'll know exactly what he means. Happy holidays to you too, Guildies!
Assassin's Creed film contest announced
Ubisoft and the Independent Film Channel have announced today a short film contest for the upcoming Assassin's Creed release. The prize is an Xbox 360, a copy of Assassin's Creed (for the Xbox, natch) and $10,000, which must be the sweet spot for short film prize money because that's exactly how much Nintendo gave away for their recent Short Cuts contest. In addition, the short film will also be included in the Limited Edition release of the game and will also air on IFC in November to coincide with the game's November 9 release.According to the press release, the short film must be six minutes in length and "based on Assassin's Creed themes" -- whether or not this includes the hinted-but-unconfirmed science fiction twist is unknown. Aspiring filmmakers can submit their entries to the IFC Media Lab starting today. The press release also states that the winner will be announced on or before November 30, but since the game (and presumably the Limited Edition) is coming out up to three weeks before that, we're hoping a decision is made earlier.
Chotto Shot pictures, videos & impressions [m]
The PSP camera, with Chotto Shot, is now available in Japan, and for import buyers. PSP GadgetZ has some really great pictures of the camera, packaging, and more importantly, pictures taken with the peripheral. According to a translation by PSP-Vault, "He says that the diagonal lines are pretty bad, and that at low light levels, there is a lot of noise in the images. He's also a bit annoyed that you need to remove the camera to transfer data to your PC." The image quality is apparently not too great, but I guess that's expected from a device that costs $50, and not hundreds.Read on to read more about the PSP's new camera accessory.
