Some days, it's a little slow in the world of WoW machinima. Other days, I log in to my email and find out we're starting the week with a Baron Soosdon (http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/baron-soosdon/) machinima. Which is, frankly, awesome. The good Baron got a tip about this song from his YouTube activity. He was drawn, motivated, and compelled to create a signature machinima for it. Thus was A.D.I.D.A.W. (http://myndflame.gameriot.com/videos/ADIDAW#play) born. After hearing the music, how could you not empathize with the frenzied, holy compulsion to put gnome-to-screen for this song?
The song in A.D.I.D.A.W. is a take-off from Korn's A.D.I.D.A.S.. This musical re-creation is the brainchild of the band Electric Sex Pants (http://www.myspace.com/electricsexpants). And, man, they really do hit the sweet spot for lyrics. All day I do, in fact, dream about WoW. I admit I've not been into scream metal for a while, but these guys just "did it" for me.
The video story itself is pretty awesome. I don't want to give it away, because the action is totally worth the watch. I'll summarize as best I can. Some horde are mistreating gnomes, in a wide variety of ways. But at the end, the song ends, and the abuse stops. Then, a little revenge (http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/10/29/wow-moviewatch-petite-nikita/)comes their way. (No pun intended.) The graphics and animation are all clean and sharp. The action is easy to follow, and instilled with enough "whoah, cool" to make you want to reroll a Gnome.
As always, I'm thankful to the Baron for continuing the people's revolution, making gnomes cooler and cooler every day.
You can find multiple options for a video stream at the good Baron's blog (http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&view=bsp&ver=1qygpcgurkovy).
