Within: an EverQuest II music video

This was our first eq2 machinima. Hers is a rather "human" tale that we can all relate to: after being deserted by the man she loves, she spirals into self destructive behavior. Her "devil within" is in looking for her identity not within her self but in the love of other people who ultimately use her (as she uses them).

His story is far more "Everquesty." He's a shadowknight working for the Overlord. Unfortunately, he has become disturbed by and uncomfortable with the orders he must carry out. His devil within is this torment, the torment of the life he feels he cannot leave but can no longer tolerate.

Enemies by birth, she from Qeynos and he from Freeport, they nevertheless see in each other a common soul, tormented by the lives in which they feel they cannot escape. For one night, they are at peace with each other and with themselves. Whether that peace remains is up to them.

The song we used we do not own.. it is entitled "Devil" from the album "Chapter V" by Staind and Atlantic records. Many thanks and much respect for their wonderful music! http://www.staind.com/


What is Machinima? According to http://www.machinima.org/machinima-faq.html

"Machinima (muh-sheen-eh-mah) is filmmaking within a real-time, 3D virtual environment, often using 3D video-game technologies.

"In an expanded definition, it is the convergence of filmmaking, animation and game development. Machinima is real-world filmmaking techniques applied within an interactive virtual space where characters and events can be either controlled by humans, scripts or artificial intelligence.

"By combining the techniques of filmmaking, animation production and the technology of real-time 3D game engines, Machinima makes for a very cost- and time-efficient way to produce films, with a large amount of creative control."

We always have a fondness for our first mmo, no matter how outdated. Mine was SWG (pre NGE).

Having played numerous, including WoW (which is a decent, solid game "suffering" from entirely too much press), EQ2 is my favorite. Never played EQ1

[GENERICCEREAL67]

@biuni78 They both suck. EQ1 kicked ass.

Ah cool :) I'm still subbed, but rarely play. Am currently playing WoW with Ullana and Gendgi.

Take care, and thanks again for the comment :)
