Level Up Machinima Contest on YouTube

Unlike last year, Philippine game publisher Level Up now accepts entries for its annual machinima contest via YouTube. Smart move. Here’s one of the entries, from RF Online.

Next year, they might want to try YouTube’s contest system. I’d use a canonical event tag to folksonomically link this post to their upcoming event, but they haven’t set one yet.

Guild Wars Machinima: Club Elona Hi-Res Download!

I’ve been searching forever for a high-quality version of Club Elona, hands-down the most lavish Guild Wars machinima ever made. That the sponsor’s site was German made my search even harder. I finally found a direct download link here. Congratulations to producer Jack McDaniel (aka Luke Yeoryios, aka The Kryta Bomber) on having his shades and his pet become official parts of Guild Wars lore with Eye of the North. Check out his other fantastic Guild Wars machinima here. You’ve got to love a game that pays such respect to its best customer evangelists.

Yes, folks, Leeroy Jenkins isn’t the only in-game celebrity in the metaverse — and not all in-game celebrity is earned through legendary incompetence.
