WoW Moviewatch: Where the hell is Poke?
Today's movie takes a little bit of background. Some years ago, an enterprising dude named Matt released an awesome world travel video. In this video, he visited dozens of locations across the globe, and filmed himself dancing there. It's not a great dance. It's not particularly skilled or smooth. But it's a happy dance from someone who is enjoying his travels. This video is Where the hell is Matt, and it became a widely published internet video. Where the hell is Poke? was inspired by this video. With the Cataclysm beta being such hot news, and everyone so curious about what the new world will look like, Poke took the time to get some Matt-esque video. I think this is a great presentation of the material, and succeeds in being a spiritual succesor to Where the hell is Matt. It's really pretty awesome, and I'm glad we had the chance to see it.

Dancing around the EverQuest world
Ah, the memories. With 10 years under its belt, EverQuest has introduced us to strange and wonderful lands. Anyone who has played the game can tell you about some of the many zones they've visited; tramping across the wide expanse of Butcherblock; spending tons of time in Paludal, Lake of Ill Omen, Highkeep, or so many other areas; getting chased out of Oasis by Spectres or Sand Giants (hell, getting chased out of just about any zone with giants in it unless you were adept at kiting); running from guards if you happened to stumble into a town that wasn't friendly to you. From one moment to the next, one group to the next, you never really knew what the day would hold. This video, created by the team at SOE, is not only a nod to those fun "Where the hell is Matt" videos, but also a really nice trip down memory lane for those of us who have played - or still play - EverQuest. Added to the mix of various areas are tidbits of EverQuest trivia. One such little morsel is that Qeynos is actually Sony EQ spelled backwards, if you hadn't caught that. So, if you've ever spent time in Norrath, be sure to check out their 10-year tribute video - and the related trivia - after the break!
WoW Moviewatch: Where the Hell is Helsing?
Inspired by the Internet phenomenon that is Where the Hell is Matt?, today we have Where the Hell is Helsing, where World of Warcraft player Helsing dances all around the world of Azeroth. However, I really think the concept loses something in the translation -- seeing people randomly break into dance is somewhat unusual in real life, but quite the norm for your average Night Elf.Previously on Moviewatch...
