Hello everyone! First up, sorry I'm not very active lately. More my fault(as well as busier IRL) that kinda makes it trickier to focus on my fan fic.
Still, there has been some recent interesting news lately.

Obviously any Digimon fan would be well aware of the new Digimon Adventure season that will come out, as well as the new Rumble Arena-esque game that is also being worked on.

But I what I wanted to talk about was something else.

It's to talk about this!

EDIT: Official Poster released as well!

The War of the Ancients, a Warcraft machinima based on an official trilogy of novels bearing that name, is almost ready! It tells us the story of what happened on Azeroth when the Burning Legion first invaded. And how it happened.
As the trailer stated, the movie will be released online on August 16th and one of the sites it will be available will be Warcraftmovies.com.
This machinima is also quite unique for featuring plenty of custom made models made for the movie, both characters and environments

I will say that this is definitively a machinima that has truly great potential. To be honest, it feels to me that this machinima will be as impressive, if not even better than the Tales of the Past series.
RANDOM EDIT: In case you think me saying it'll be better than Tales of the Past isn't enough to hype you up about this movie, maybe the fact that Blizzard Entertainment, the CREATORS of the Warcraft franchise KNOW this machinima is coming! They even made a post about it on their official Warcraft Twitter. Their comment? "We. Can't. Wait."
That's right, even the makers of the Warcraft franchise are as hyped as the Warcraft fans would be about this movie. :D

And the primary reason I would speak of this is because I have a role in this movie!
In this movie, I'm doing the voice of Cenarius, Demigod of the forests, and mentor to one of the main characters of the story, Malfurion Stormrage.
(In case you're wondering which guy Cenarius is in the poster, it's the big centaur-like guy in the top right spot.)

I will also point out that this is the very first time I have ever done any serious kind of voice acting, so obviously I'm a bit nervous but also excited about this.

Now for those among you who aren't very familiar with the Warcraft universe, or these events, one of the two producers, Vaanel, has been showing not just his unique models on DeviantArt(and on his Youtube page), but has also started producing character sheets for the major characters present in this movie. So even those not fully familiar will have a chance to be more prepared for this movie.

I will say that our voice cast is pretty decent, from what I was able to hear so far. Obviously among the best I would say is none other than FrozenDeathKnight, notable for being the voice actor for Mannoroth(and doing a really great job at it too). Another would be Rawrbug in the voice role of Azshara, who definitively delivers us a good feel for how manipulative Azshara is.
Most people doing the voices of main characters in this movie have done a great job as far as I can tell. And obviously, I wasn't slouching either, and I'd say I've done a good job voicing Cenarius. Though I feel I may have been a bit more lackluster for secondary voices I've done...although...
Well, I'll let you all in on a little secret. Cenarius is my main role, yes, but there's another major character I voice in the movie. But the question is...who is it? Will you be able to figure out who else I'm voicing before the credits roll?

Hopefully you'll be able to enjoy the movie when it comes out!
