I once read on these forums that VO was a "literature" MMORPG. While this may sound toungue-in-cheek, certain parallels can be drawn between the VO server and classic works of cyberpunk fiction. I made a short video as the product of a sleepless night, overactive mind, and my rediscovery of the scenic beauty VO has to offer:

It's 2 minutes long, designed as a trailer, and has a sort of matrix-y feel to it. Even after having an account for 7 years, 11 months, and 17 days I am surprised by a corner of the universe I must have passed by dozens of times on my way to such and such a location. Other places are old favorites I revisit again and again. I hope to share some of this with you, and let you share it with others if you choose.

The video may have a "modest production budget" as VO has also been described, but I did what I could and this is also one of those "you get the idea" type of things. If you haven't read Neuromancer or Snow Crash I highly recommend either title, then join the PCC and let's spin a few yarns.

Very cool.

The camerawork is great, in particular the flyby of the station. Which is why I don't understand the need for the cringe-worthy text, or the inexplicable music shift halfway through. Also, the mass of what I can only assume are mission debug messages at the end have a more of an "in the way" feel than a "matrix" feel.

In summary: Great video. It's nice to see that someone actually does shit for VO, instead of just talking about impossible translations.

Fun to watch indeed. I agree with Genka on all but the text, which I found interesting.

Blah can't watch it on xoom not available on mobile. ...

keep up the video's phaser they're pretty sweet, also i hope you're enjoying mah skins the UI for light screen should be done later this week there's just a few things I'm stuck on.

That may be the only positive thing genka has ever said. Screenshot before he deletes it!

Genka always says positive things, constructive even.
