SXSW08: How gamers are adopting the wiki way

Filed under: Fan stuff, Features


One of the many excellent sessions in the ScreenBurn track at SXSW Interactive this year, the "How Gamers Are Adopting the Wiki Way" panel featured George Pribul (lead admin of WoWWiki.com), April "CuppaJo" Burba (Community Manager for NCsoft's Tabula Rasa), Angelique Shelton (GM of Wikia Gaming at Wikia Inc), and Jake McKee (Principal at Ant's Eye View) talking about the symbiotic relationship between gamers and wikis. Interesting factoid: WoWWiki is now the second largest English-language wiki in the world behind Wikipedia. At 3 million unique users per month, a full half of English-speaking WoW players visit WoWWiki every month. Head on over to our MMO-besotted sister site Massively for the complete writeup.

With my move to Austin complete, all that's left is to dominate South by Southwest (SXSW) this weekend. Pure West will be premiering their MMO documentary, Second Skin, on Friday, March 7th. Yours truly will be there to get the goods on all the WoW action.

Tune in this weekend for SXSW tips on video editing, sound formatting, and a slew of other fascinating topics. In the meantime, check out the high resolution version of the trailer.

WoW Moviewatch: Black Angel

Posted Mar 2nd 2008 12:00PM by Dan O'Halloran
Filed under: Machinima, WoW Moviewatch

Moo Money is off to Austin to cover the South by Southwest Music and Media Conference. Until she is done schmoozing the latest in Machinima talent, I'll be covering WoW Moviewatch for the next day or two. One of the first things I've found is this music video using "Cry Little Sister" from "The Lost Boys" soundtrack.

Black Angel tells the story of a dark angel summoned to wreak havoc, but is imprisoned. Now he seeks the help of his sister, an angel of light. Creative use of the WoW Model Viewer, an evocative song and a strong narrative make for a compelling vid.
