Seven-minute preview for WoW’s Exploration the Escapade

Gaming has created its own culture. We have various online communities, we’ve created our own language via gaming slang (p’wned!), and we’ve even made our very own cast of gaming personalities and icons. World of Warcraft, with a population of over seven millions players making it almost as populated as some cities, is perhaps the the best testament to this. Still don’t believe it? Read on.

What we have here is an extension of the gaming culture. Best gauge for culture? Art. Human societies have paintings, we have fan-made wallpapers. Music? We have gamers mixing their own tune matching the gaming groove. Film? Well, we have this.

Fanatik is almost a legend in Azeroth. Not only ’cause he’s a good player, but because he has learned how to infuse his passion for making films to the game he loves most. Yes, he’s making a movie for WoW, and it’s currently under the working title “Exploration the Escapade”. Setting’s in Azeroth, cast are all WoW characters (his own piece is the lead actor of course), and the plot is oh so Warcrafty.

The vid below shows a seven-minute preview of his flick, and features “a glimpse of the never before seen Black Temple, The Battle of Mount Hyjal, as well as random additions to the development zones.” Fanatik says he’s doing this not for fame, but judging how the gaming culture embraces icons, he may very well be on his way towards celebrity status.

Now all we need is an Orc jumping up and down a Mage’s couch…
