For a (fascinating) behind-the-scenes look at the creative process behind the South Park meets World of Warcraft episode that aired in September of this year, check out the full, very long write up at Machinima.com.
You'll see just how involved Blizzard was in the creation of the episode, giving the South Park production staff a spot on a Burning Crusade alpha server, letting WoW fans on the crew get a sneak peek at the expansion.
The Blizzard team gave us a special "friends and family" server to play on. Every once an a while a strange player would walk by and check out group the filming. The programmers could instantly kill a player that got in the way of filming. There's a player out there wondering what they had stumbled upon just before they were wiped from the location.
Slash-laugh. While I'm not a fan of either property, per se, even non-fans should appreciate what went into this.
