On a Quest for Lord British #LBSotA

So a while ago there was this exciting and uplifting KickStarter campaign for Shroud of the Avatar, an amazing mix of old school RPG in a Massively Multiplayer Realm, which is being created by the eccentric and brilliant mind of Richard Garriott and his talented folks at Portalarium. 

I'm a HUGE fan of the Ultima series but there was nothing like the grand ol' times had in Ultima Online, where the dial up sound was your soul being transported to a whole new world, because Origin Creates Worlds you know... I am lending my support as a moderator on their forums and am looking forward to... yes, creating a new world!

FireLotus, the official Crier of New Britannia, announced that Lord British himself had called upon his fellow Founders to go on a quest for him. I created an ode to the days of adventuring on your own, discovering new realms from your Apple II, NES and on. I'm no video editor but I believe my love and dedication to the cause comes through with these videos. The first one goes a little something like this:

After creating that video though, I knew I had left out a HUGE inspiration and industry game changer known as Ultima Online, the grand daddy of MMORPGs.

Although mine did not garner the votes to win the competition, quite the worthy one was selected victorious...

Created by an odd duo known as the Space Bards it really is worth a watch to see what they filmed, edited and published in only 2-3 days. Great stuff! The tune so is so catchy I occasionally have it playing on my way to work.
