Tristan Pope (a.k.a TristanNYC), former Blizzard Entertainment cinematic-tist, has created one of the first Guild Wars 2 Machinima. The video, titled “I Surrender”, a tale of love and loss, has a rather interesting history:

I decided to re-create my FIRST EVER machinima video as well as first story-lined machinima video from World of Warcraft sooo many years back called “I Surrender”.

Back then I created that video in the last 3 hours of the final beta weekend. I figured, hey, why not kick off Guild Wars 2, the first MMO since my Ultima Online days to make me all fuzzy inside again with an homage.
