Top 6 WoW comic's I'd respecc feral to see as Machinima

Before I go into my article let me talk about the goings ons (The article is down there V for people that don’t like to hear about me)

So I’ve been slacking, it feels good.

In other news! The majority of my good chums in #Machinima have taken a vendetta into making me the most famous wow character ever. I approve of this! Sadly, Leeroy Jenkins will not admit that the whole whelps thing was my idea, so expect a large amount of movies showing flimsy (Yet lovable) representations of me.

In addition I am now addicted to Twitter. I have high hopes for the bird that’s twittering my tune, so please come check me out when you find the time (You’ll need a bucket of it; I’m not one to shut the heck up) So look at me here -> http://twitter.com/WhowhoMoonglare

Anywho! Time for the article.

The top 6 WoW Comics that should be adapted into Machinima.

You should be aware that the WHOLE point of top 10 lists are to be outrageously opinionated and wrong to evoke a comment from you at the bottom of the article, so keep in mind, you are completely encouraged to hate me for this list and to e-mail links to internet shock sites as long as you tell your friends about how wonderful/disgraceful I am. (On Twitter!)

This is what happens when I let one of my inspired ideas slip in #Machinima: every one badgers me until I get of my pile of twigs and make it! But I want to write this anywho as I am a real WoW comic fan. I just don’t get a chance to write reviews of comics (Again, because I’m slacking) and since we’ve seen X-Cross’s “A day in the Life” it’s been proven that wow comics can slot into wow Machinima like a sword into a dragon’s flank.

So here are the Top 6 wow comics that should be adapted into Machinima.

#6 Warcraft Legends.

This is somewhat an honorable mention as Warcraft legends is an official and professionally made collection of stories, which means it has an unfair advantage (Like Ogre sumo-wrestlers, something I want to see implemented in 4.0) but all the same it has something I look for in a Machinima: short-to the point stories, so characters driven the transports have backstories and motivations; and a respect for the Azeroth setting and lore so thick you’d think you where still playing wow.

If I were to make a Machinima series it would be Redshift meets Warcraft:Legends, and it’s not that big a task; the stories are short and sweet (Apart from the long and bitter Trag story) and I would not grow sick of watching it over and over.

#5 Ding!

This maybe nostalgia from my part, but Ding! was a punch line filled story of the most bloiting rude and dislikable Undead Warlock ever to dare call himself “Kissybear”  The character was fun and surprisingly didn’t get old, and even received some development when he re-rolled horde. The humor was also cleaver and showed a quirky appreciation of WoW’s ins and outs.

Ding! died a sloppy, slow, and overall unpleasant death, which means a dash of closure would be very nice; “Kissybear: The Machinima!” would be a most welcome winter’s vale gift. All I want to see is Kissybear isolating all his friends, family, battlemasters, and generally all of mankind in the search of the tea bagging emote.

Tea bagging, bleh, such a nasty habbit.

#4 WoW Eh?

How could we say no to a WoW Eh? Machinima? How could we say anything other than “Humnima Humnima Humnima Humnima Humnima Humnima!”? The comic has shifted through various forms over the past year, but I really think at this point it just gets better and better. Cadistra spends every inch of the comic every week to poke happily at any holes that can be found in the World of Warcraft (I also hear she's a user of twitter!)

But I just can’t wrap my head around how “WoW Machinima Eh?” would work; all that animated life and energy that is put into WoW Eh’s characters would be lost in WoW’s models. Like the best of WoW Comicers, Cadistra has explored the face of Azeroth WoW doesn’t show us (Worgen using the internet, Elune lazily looking down from her cloud and just about everything Kissless manages to do in every panel) 

Well if we can’t get a short WoW Machinima Eh? I will settle for (Read: Sell my soul, forsake the druidic path, and buy a hell hound as a pet) a cameo in WoW Eh? 

Pleeeeeeease?

No?

Well, dreaming is a druid specialty.

#3 The Battlemasters

The Battlemasters has only seen 10 pages, but I have fallen head over raid-heals googoo gaga interested in it. Something that’s very lacking in wow’s fan comics and machinima is a serious, character driven, story that doesn’t feature them major lore figures that are always trying to steal the lime light. The Battlemasters is achieving just this! I think… it has only been 10 pages.

In other words: The Battlemasters is more or less Redshift meets Warcraft:Legends, I’m just irked it’s a comic and not a Machinima. I’d welcome a Battlemasters Machinima with more open arms than Lady Vashj (She’s the one with six arms right? Eventually I’ll run out of these wow themed similes) 

#2 Dark Legacy

Goes without saying- Next!

#1 Flintlocke’s guide to Azeroth / Flintlocke vs the Horde.

Not only is it funny; well written; full of fun personalities; the perfect parody of the average wow group; and a story with one of them rare things: a final punch line, Flintlocke one and two is something so iconic to wow’s community that if “Flintlocke in a Machinima” where to get made there would not be a soul watching it that wouldn’t be able to laugh at the re-appearance of the much loved characters.

(If you’re saying “what’s Flintlocke?” right now, please keep that to yourself ^^ as that proves that I’m so out of touch with wow’s community I might as well start making things up)
