Warning: Mild cursing at the end.
Do you remember BroncoTV? (http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/broncotv/) They're the same guys who created Who's the Tank? (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/12/05/wow-moviewatch-whos-the-tank/) Michael Schroeder dropped your intrepid Moviewatch team a note to let us know they've released a new video --World of Warcraft: Lost Within (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYScrH7wRXk). To sum up the plot, a WoW player finds himself transported inside the game. He must quest, grow, and ding, all en route to rescue his princess.
It's definitely a WoW vs. reality theme. The gags are suitably funny, and I found the acting to be over-the-top in the right places. (The gag at the end worked for me, I think in part because I knew it was coming. C'mon, who hasn't tried to whack someone with a plastic sword, only to be sorely disappointed with the effect?)
I really liked the WoW interface laying over top of Live Action acting. It gave a neat surreality to the comedy, and kept me firmly rooted in the escapist joke. Of course, if there's a part two, it'd be neat to see some UI Mods and such start making appearance. (Maybe an Omen Kiss meter or something.)
