WoW Moviewatch: 28 Patches Later

Voodooray, the Boss of Boomkin, the Maestro of Moonfire, the OPest of Owls is back with his new feathered fury piece 28 Patches Later. The video is pretty brief, and absolutely fun to watch. The author says the video is the first part in a series, which makes this an awesome first hint.
To sum up, a white light chamber is used to create or summon the Moonkin horde. They slowly move across the country, tearing down planes, infiltrating boats, and even taking over the White House. Of course, the ineffable nature of the Moonkin makes it difficult to read what's happening. Are the invading druids benevolent? Maybe they're protecting us from something. Are they mindless, or are they operating on an agenda?
Okay, so you may or may not find great literature in "28 Patches Later." But the video is fun, and I think that's the point. I always love Voodooray's quirky obsession with his signature critter, and I think the surreality of Moonkin lends a lot of strength to this video.

Voodooray rocks.
Just wanted to say thanks to the Wowinsider team too.
You guys rock. Can't tell you how much I appreciate everything this site has done for me over the last few years.
I'm a fan.
Just released probably the biggest WoW PVE movie ever made today - complete compilation of cuts from every single bossfight in the game. 1h 33min long, 2.67GB.

"To sum up, a white light chamber is used to create or summon the Moonkin horde."
Ever heard about the LHC?

AH HECK! Someone leaked our presentation video at the last Moonkin conference! How are we ever going to take the world by surprise now?!?!
Errr... I mean, "Awww, look at the harmless little Moonkins!"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_hadron_collider
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, intended to collide opposing particle beams, of either protons at an energy of 7 TeV/particle, or lead nuclei at an energy of 574 TeV/nucleus.
It can also be used to open a black hole to summon the moonkin horde which will likely destroy the earth.

This song was one of the only things I really enjoyed about the movie "28 Days Later"... hearing it again in this video (which is very well done by the way) sent me on a crusade to track down the name of the song so I could listen to it whenever I like.
If anyone else gets a similar itch, I'll save you the trouble. It's called "In the House - In a Heartbeat," and it's written by John Murphy.

Agree, the music in 28 days later is one of the reasons it's in my top 5

the song does rule as does this video, however "28 days later" also was an amazing film just to put my 2 cents in

This is up there with Argent Crusade: Salvation for my favorite WoW machinima now.
Saleheim Apr 7th 2009 1:57PM
Hmmm... so Druids finally rebelled because they want new forms?
About time too. ;P

Breathtaking, simply breathtaking, and oddly enough, I can't say why.
I'm watching this over and over, it's as if I'm ensnared within the ethereal tendrils of some astral ensorcellment .
My pulse slows to a meandering crawl...
My eyes widen in childlike wonderment....
The world melts away around me....
Like the fabled Calgon, this video, takes me away.

Forgot how moving the music for 28 Days Later was, I gotta go watch that again. Shame the sequel wasn't nearly as good.

I have never really been a fan of moonkins, but I think this video could sway me the other direction. It is put together very well.
