Ox, Stag and Mort have figured out a way to spread their invented swear words--hack into Blizzard's chat filter! The process, however, may be more complicated than they planned.
After grossing
out all his friends by announcing his engagement, the
day has finally arrived for Mortuus to marry Lacy, the
love of is life. Even if she is a giant half-cow, womanish...
thing. And who officiates the wedding? Why, none other
than Warlord Gorechuck, who has apparently had his fill
of red snappah!
Oxhorn, Staghorn and Mortuus have been unsuccessful
in getting their newly invented swear words to be
used, and so they go off in search of the Master of
Euphemisms, to see if he can help.
Since the previous swear words
that they invented have not caught on yet, Oxhorn, Staghorn
and Mortuus meet again in order to come up with a new
one and to discuss promotion strategies. They enlist
the help of Hat the singing turtle and Lacy, who is
Mortuus’ girlfriend. But things don’t go
exactly according to plan.

Inventing
Swear Words 1
The censors in the game can be quite a pain for those
who desire to swear. Oxhorn, Staghorn and Mortuus
have decided to invent curse words in order to aid
communication.

Associate Professor Evil is up for tenure! Finally, after all his many years as instructor at the Evil Alchemist University, he can establish himself. But will he get his tenure?

I was asked to make this short sketch by the Academy of Machinima Arts & Sciences for the Machinima Filmfest 2008 awards ceremony. I was asked to either make a movie poking fun at the economy or the 2008 presidential election, and I chose to poke at the election. Hope you like it!

4 Commercials made for mtvU
MtvU
sent out a casting call asking for college students
to submit machinima samples. I responded and they contacted
me asking me to make four, thirty-second commercials
for their brand-new section called "gam0RZ ball"
which would run during their broadcast of Gamer's Week
2.0.
They gave me four scripts, all based on my characters
from Inventing Swear Words. I was free to edit
them, but I had to convey a very specific message.
The hard part was having the commercials say what
mtvU wanted them to say, and yet at the same time
make them funny. For the fourth commercial they gave
me much greater freedom. I ended up rewriting the
fourth script completelly and came up with what you
see in this movie, but alas, they decided not to air
it. They did air the first three that I made, which
aired on November 15th, 2006.

Mighty Morphin' Midget Gnomes UNITE!
Midget Gnomes unite! Blue, Yellow, Pink, Green, Red! All the Mighty Morphin' Midget Gnomes want to do is eat cupcakes and watch a bull-fight, but their boss, the Giant Floating Head, wants to send them on a mission. Will a compromise be made so that both parties get their way? Or will the Giant Head assert his authority? Or will the Gnomes poke out his eyes and read copies of the swimsuit edition of Good Gnomekeeping?
Francis Baconmeister Jr. loves meat, and he owns a meat-only restaurant to prove it. But what will happen when a bunch of hippie elves protest his fine establishment? And what on earth is his secret ingredient?
A man in a funny hat confronts three engineers who have mocked him for believing in the Invisible Pink Unicorn. Will the man win them over with the power of his rhetoric? Will the engineers prove how foolish he is and dismiss him? Or will the Invisible Pink Unicorn show up and startle everyone?
Hat the Singing Turtle loves to
sing, and he has many fans. There are others, however,
think that his singing is pure rubbish. Barnaby the
crab is one of them. What is left to do when your precious
singing has been insulted by an ornery crab? Why, defend
your honor, of course. A fight of epic proportions is
sure to ensue!
At long last, the gates to Ahn'Qiraj will soon open!
Surely Warlord Gorchuk has something mighty for Oxhorn
to do in order to help open the gates. Wait... he wants
peacebloom? That doesn't seem very mighty...

Oxhorn Tells Off
Xfire
Xfire sponsored a contest for up-and-coming Machinima
film makers, asking them to each make an advertisement
for their contest with a cash reward based upon the
number of downloads the advertisement got. Why, this
is pure exploitation, and Oxhorn will have nothing to
do with it! Watch while Oxhorn picks on Xfire (and,
more than anything, himself) acting like a snooty fool.

The Joy of Punting Gnomes
This is a short commercial I made
in response to Xfire's "VIP" contest. They
asked a few authors to make a promo commercial that
would be aired on MTV and its affiliates, and then they
would pick the best one. "Squirrelbane"
by the fellows over at Myndflame was chosen over mine
(for reasons that are obvious).
Oxhorn has a few drinks and then goes out for a lovely
ride through The Barrens on his kodo, Busco. Little
does he know that the Orgrimmar Mounted Police are watching
his every turn!
Elf On--Apply directly to an
Elf! Do Elves annoy you on a daily basis? Elf On.
Do you wish you could get rid of them? Elf On. Does
the sight of them fill you with a rage that you cannot
explain? Elf On.
Ever wonder what would happen if all the characters from the Oxhorn Brand Universe were to collide? This song incorporates quotes and choruses from many of my movies. Can you recognize them all?
Of all the
men of Azeroth, I must say that my least favorite race
is the Elf! This is an anthem for all of those like
me who detest Elves with every fiber of their being.
And to all those who play Elves out there, I fully realize
that you are free to choose whichever race you want.
And you chose wrong.

The Great Kodo
By far, the best mount
is the game is the kodo. This movie is a tribute to
the kodo and everything that makes the kodo the greatest
creature to have lived (in Azeroth).

This movie tells the

my mind for some time. You can read an explanation on
why I chose the song I did in the forums, here.

The Tauren's Kilt
I adapted a song
called "The Scotsman" by The Irish Rovers
and sang it for this film.
Oxhorn and company are throwing a big Christmas bash when SOMETHING HAPPENS. That's right, in this movie there is a plot element that further drives the story. Huzzah! Complete with Christmas songs, kodo eggnog, pecan pies (and even pecan trout), my fourth annual Christmas movie is sure to deliver.
Oxhorn, Staghorn and Mortuus are going to a Christmas
party at Shattrath, but the trip is taking too long.
Staghorn craves some pecan pie, and they concoct a
devious plan.
To everyone at Blizzard Entertainment,
WarCraftMovies.com, my fellow machinimator peers and
most importantly, all the fans whose support has made
movie making all the more worthwhile, I wish you all
a merry Christmas and a happy Winter’s Veil!

Wickerman Burning
This records a halloween-ish holiday event put on by Blizzard.
I narrated it and it turned out pretty funny. I am pleased
with it.
Racing the Grimtotem
Roper and his wife Lanalee are on hard times and have
only silverleaf soup to eat. They have already begun
to talk of eating the family kodo when Lanalee finds
a flyer in Gadgetzan promoting a race to be held in
the Shimmering Flats, with a prize that is more than
enough to buy food with. But does the family kodo have
it in him to win the race? And even if they do win,
who will lose, and what will be the consequences of
either winning or losing? Especially when the other
racers belong to the thuggish Grimtotem clan...
