It might be getting dangerously close to the bandwagon at this point, but the LA Times has a piece about machinima in today's paper. A film shoot in Everquest II's online world was rained out and the extras who showed up didn't have anything to do. LA Times does find one big machinima naysayer in University of Southern California interactive media professor, Tracy Fullerton, who points out that the technology in current gen consoles and PCs "becomes a detriment, when you're trying to make a film." But, the PlayStation 2 has an emotion engine, Tracy!
