I don’t know if it’s just something I’m noticing just because I started making machinima videos thus have been getting fed more wow machinima content by the algorithm or if there’s a genuine renaissance in WoW machinima as an artform.
It really feels like the artform has expanded a lot since 2008 when we kinda had peak-wow machinima. I’m seeing more variety in the ways the artform is being explored than I recall back in the day.
I don’t know if it’s just the algorithm eating its own tail or there genuinely is a wow machinima renaissance going on. It might end up spawning an online wow machinima maker’s community.
Back in my day it would have been an angelfire webpage. I think theres tumblrs and discords and discblrs these days. There’d be a little animated anime gnome at the bottom hitch-hiking while holding a sign that read “WoW Machinima Turnpike”. And the Pook would be like, that’s a pretty sweet .gif and yeah I promouned it .gif and I don’t care what anyone says.
And then there was a day when you went to that angelfire webpage and it wasn’t there anymore. And then you were like, damn I wish I saved that sweet .gif
Damn, now the Pook has a sad.
