Machinima-series on TV in Denmark!

Hi there! I know it's been a long time, since I've last posted anything here, but I just realized something phenominal. Today I was watched television, because I was bored. Normally, danish television sucks more than Paris Hilton in that movie, but I turned on to watch the ugly face of an undead female. Machinima has entered the mainstream.

The danish satirical comedy series "Chapper og Pharfar" (Chapper and Pharfar) is a series about two crackheads, who does nothing but smoke weed and try and gain fame in the World of Warcraft. Half the show is live-action and features the two geeks engaging in all sorts of fun, while the other half is called "Kampen om Crackdiamanten" (The Struggle of the Crack Diamond) and is filmed entirely in-game and follows Chapper and Pharfar in their ongoing quest to find the legendary crackdiamond.

Now, I, for one, think that this show is hilarious and strongly encourage any danish people to watch it, if you have just some love for the game and universe. While the story may be lame, it's supposed to be that way and should bring up a little smile on your faces. Please keep in mind, that it is entirely in danish, but some parts may be enjoyable for other nationalities as well. The show contains many inside jokes, such as "How much does your intelligence buff give?", so you have to be into the game to understand many of the parts

NOTE: Contains harsh language at some points... and bad acting!
You can watch the entire first season here: http://www.dr.dk/chapperogpharfar/
It is also out on DVD, which I will definately buy!

I hope that this will evolve into something big later on, perhaps opening the possibilities to watch more machinima on TV - it's nicer to sit on your comfy couch and watch a movie than on your chair, which makes your butt hurt.
