Snackys 1-3 to screen in the UK

On October 12-14, the first ever European Machinima Festival will be held in Europe at the De Montfort University Campus Centre in Leicester, UK.

There were a lot of 'award categories' which we didn't get nominated for in this festival (I haven't seen a lot of the nominees but I imagine the competition was fierce) but we did get selected to screen, which is fine with me. Only four machinima authors from our game, World of Warcraft, were selected at all, so I consider it honor enough to be included.

Now that brings up an interesting phenomenon. In any international competitive setting, the usual route is to root for the people from the same country - for example, the Olympics. Well, in machinima, your fellow 'countrymen' aren't the ones from the same country, they are the ones from the same GAME! Doesn't matter where they are from in the real world, but the fact that we are all from the same virtual world is what makes us bond, root, and support each other.

HUH!
