Your Horse Needs Help

Category: DDO, Vanguard

I got a notice via email about a new piece of Vanguard marketing fluff. Instead of binning it right away, as I’d normally do, I’ve taken to running down the assets and posting them in the MMOG Nation Flickr account. I figure this way I’ll have a running account of new MMOG elements as they come out. I’m going to clean it up and start referencing it here more often, but right now I’m just uploading blindly. So far I have some screens from Vanguard, and a few images (pretty ones, though) from DDO’s expansion.

In any case, this newest marketing push was a video for a high-level Vanguard mount. I figured that if the movie was interesting, I’d go ahead and YouTube it, and put it up here on the site to look at. Then I watched it.

Thankfully, it was already on the Tube so you can share in my horror. My reaction: “Yer umm … yer horse looks to have some problems there mister.”

    Are you just mocking the 1998-era animation (clue to Vangaurd’s art team: horses and riders have lots and lots of secondary motion) or is there something else?

    Yes, that is exactly what I’m saying.

    Their horse is broken.

    Well mnuh, everyone knows that unicorns and riders run in an awkward, stilted way devoid, even bereft of secondary movement.
