Possibly my favorite machinima ever. Certainly one of my very favorite Second Life places. Congrats Marty and Jenaia!!

Congrats on this excellent machinima and beautiful story. I believe it is meant to pique our interest, and it worked. I took the Quest inworld and have to say it is a moving experience. Give yourself time and take this powerful Quest in Second Life. You will be glad you did.

Well, my goodness, there is alot to like about this piece. The animation is beautiful, if a little stiff at times, the soundtrack is luscious and I love the talking dog. I didn't quite understand what I was seeing and if Uncle D is, or was, a real person. I would have enjoyed more narration about the quest and what it means and is and was to this character. Good job people. I am a voice actress so I was very happy to hear good voices and the poems were fabulous.

What a wonderful machinima. I love this art form, using a 3D engine or game to create cinema, more and more each time I see it. Beautiful job, and I cannot wait to visit this in-world. Second Life truly is one of the best things ever.

An evocative and deep story, fascinating and well-told. It makes very good use of Second Life as more than just another MMO - it speaks as loud and clear and true as any full-length film.

Well done.
