I know this news is well over 24 hours old by now, but this is for my buddies in the UK who probably aren't out of bed yet. Tomorrow. Or whatever - South Park just did a World of Warcraft-centric episode, which is apparently being yanked from GoogleVid/YouTube as fast as anyone can upload it. Here's the trailer:
Animation meets machinima ... speaking of which, Radio 1 put out an mp3 of Chris Moyles (famous Radio 1 DJ for you non-Brits) and Friends a while back, which some enterprising R1 listeners dubbed onto South Park characters:
Now to close full circle, we just need a bit of machinima ... done in WoW ... featuring Chris Moyles. Hmm :-)
UPDATE: Kim just sent in links to the very brilliant video - see the short version here or the full one here..
Great to see the return of South Park. This episode was absolutely hillarious.
"Who is that guy?"
"Whoever he is, he's one tough badass."
Cue this guy

"The last people to stop playing were the French... you're not French are you??"
Great episode... obvious input from Blizz too - though some real screw ups - human hunter; level 2 hunter with a shield; and of course that everyone who plays WoW turns into a fat bastard! I can state here and now it's all lies... lies I tell you!

Hehe - well, from a machinima point of view, they had a LOT of help. Many of the poses - cradling the dying father? - are not possible in the realm of emoting... and yes, items and such - most of the characters must've been 60s, dressed as lowbies?
But that sword.. apparently it exists..
