I love the script on this one. Silos's VA is also top notch here.

You know, I always thought Lord errm Mender Silos would always sound like that. Has that sort of Vincent Price sound to it, but definitely top notch I enjoyed it alot hehe. But you guys gave so much foreshadowing away in that to.

Nice play on the issue number 
(I think I also see Statesman in the Ouroboros zones for a few frames...
Gee I wonder how much Silos had to do with the coming storm heh, with comments like "my unparalleled intellect" I suspect a high amount of arrogance and blindness to effects of experimentation that caused the catastrophe and now he's trying to fix his mistake without admitting he made it ("the less you know the better").
That was quite cool. Good work, um... Who does those videos anyway? They deserve a huge thumbs up!

"The coming storm", eh?
"It's a connection, that's what they wanted! I see it all now! I have seen the great circuit! The shape of the oil sees only the truth! It is the struggle! The circuit, the connection, it is all the blood of the black stream!" (emphasis mine)

He doesn't really hide the fact that his actions played no small part in the end of humanity when you talk to him. After destroying the world he finally stood up and cried "do over!".
Or did he...
Woah. That ending bit of music...was awesome.
And the trailer as a whole is impeccable.
And it certainly raises many more questions...
Never surrender! Never give up!

I can't get any of it to load or play. 
I'm going to keep trying, but there's an error with the mwv, and I only load halfway through the quicktime.

Might be your connection timing out. I downloaded it thn played it rather than try to play it while it downloaded. It was buggy in VCL but the wmv ran fine in Media Player 10.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but did you even ask if you could post NCSoft's copyrighted material on your YouTube channel? You do realize the video is copyrighted and your posting it without permission is likely a violation of that copyright. I can understand your exuberance, but at least try to have a modicum of respect for the rights holders. Jumpin Jiminy.

Zek, try right-clicking and saving the file to your computer. You should be able to play it then.
Further thoughts:
The camera is turned on Requiem when Silos states "The catalyst that brings about the unraveling of the cosmos starts here!". We know from To Save a Thousand Worlds that Requiem has the ability to conquer an entire planet with his legion of Nictus, and also can tamper with dimensional stability. That isn't to say Requiem is necessarily correlated with that line, but it's notable.
Another interesting thing that Silos says is "All your petty squabbles amongst yourselves and your Rikti counterparts must be brought to an end, before it reaches its inevitable crescendo!"
It sounds like The Coming Storm will be something that will require cooperation between hero, villain, and perhaps even Rikti-kind. (Not a big surprise in that regard.)
And finally, one of the things Silos mentions you may use the Pillar of Ice and Flame for is "...[to] fulfill whatever destiny you see laid out for yourself." This line is paired with a shot of a villain fighting Snakes, I believe in the "Rescue the Arachnos troops" mission in Mercy Island. Sounds like a reference to Project: DESTINY to me...
Never surrender! Never give up!
