The new Chronicles of Leeroy episode 6- Stranglegank Vale (http://www.herculeanproductions.com/movie.php?mid=12) has been released by Herculean Productions (http://www.wow.com/tag/herculean-productions). If you remember from the last episode (http://www.wow.com/2009/05/14/wow-moviewatch-leeroy-5-for-the-horde/), Leeroy and friends were levelling through their first instance. Now, the Horde party must handle their most difficult challenge so far: getting ganked (http://www.wow.com/2008/05/21/an-armed-society-is-a-polite-society/) in Stranglethorn Vale.
There have been a few production enhancements on this episode. The costumes are a little more defined, and I feel like the scenery has been stepped up a notch. Also, you get to see the Herculean team do their first interpretations of Alliance life. Even the computer graphics are a little more refined and contextual.
The movie has an interesting meta-commentary moment, when the two Alliance gaurds are standing next to each other. One actor uses a prop for the quest-giving exclamation mark hovering over his head, while the other guard's exclamation mark is a computer graphic. There's a brief moment when they kind of look at each other questioningly, and then go back to waiting for a Player Character to come get a quest. I wasn't sure what to make of the scene, but it clearly stuck out in my head.
Overall, I think the adventures of Leeroy are a lot of fun. Herculean Productions obviously puts a lot of effort and heart into these movies, and I enjoy every one I see.
