Congratulations to the two DECA properties that are being honored with Streamy Award nominations: Boing Boing TV and Project Lore are both up for “Best Hosted Web Series,” and Xeni Jardin and Alex Albrecht have each been nominated for “Best Web Series Host.”

The Project Lore team has also been nominated for the Streamys Audience Choice Award and is one of ten contenders that represent the most-nominated web series overall. As you might have guessed, the Audience Choice winner will be determined by audience votes. So please support Project Lore by voting for them once a day through March 28.

Project Lore 1.5: New Features, New Content

by Kory Klem Project Lore Announcements March 4th, 2009 at 10:53 am No Comments

I’m pleased to announce the launch of Project Lore 1.5! Watch Alex Albrecht explain some of our new features:

Over the past 7 months, the Project Lore team has focused on bringing our users the best WoW-related video content on the web, and we recently celebrated our 100th episode. But as our fan base continues to grow, we know that we need to continue growing Project Lore. Here’s what we’ve done with Project Lore 1.5:

  • New Design: We shifted some things around to make it easier for users to see what’s happening on our site each week.
  • More Content: We’ll have lots more blog content each day, coming from an expanded pool of some very talented bloggers, as well as new video.
  • Forums: Our users have been asking for them, and now they’ll be able to deepen their World of Warcraft knowledge and more easily connect with other Lore-ites on the Project Lore Forums. In the first 24 hours of Project Lore 1.5, users have already created more than 900 forum posts!
  • Big Red Kitty: One of WoW’s premier hunters, BRK will be lending his insights to the Project Lore blog as well as creating weekly, how-to WoW videos.

And we’re not done yet. Stay tuned, as we’ve got a number of great new initiatives launching over the coming weeks!

Project Lore Hits Episode 100!

by Kory Klem Milestones, Project Lore Announcements February 23rd, 2009 at 3:25 pm No Comments

If you’re not one of millions of World of Warcraft players, watching the intrepid Project Lore team attack a boss in the higher levels of the game might be a little intimidating. Within the fight, countless battle statistics indicate health and damage and are vital to achieving success. Our guys not only know what each number means, they’re also paying very close attention to all of them. But this month here at Project Lore, there was only one number we had on our minds: 100.

That’s right, Project Lore recently aired its 100th episode! Here it is - watch the guys discuss quests and then enter a section of the game called Azjol-Nerub:

In the seven short months since our launch, we’ve aired more than a hundred Project Lore episodes and introduced three new shows. All in, our videos have already accumulated more than 8.5 million views! What makes this number all the more extraordinary is that Project Lore is only distributed on three sites: ProjectLore.com, Wowhead, and Thottbot.

Alex Albrecht, the entire Lore team, and I would like to take a moment to thank the Project Lore community for their passionate and continued support. It’s their viewership and feedback that makes this show possible. We appreciate it, and we’re looking forward to bringing them even more exciting things in the coming months.
