I think we should spread the word about the closed beta 10.000 ppl stuff.
I made a start on german forums, feel free to suggest other homepages, or better do it yourself.

Maybe they can send the Fade reveal to Machinima.com, they might accept it...
edit: Machinima.com would be great...

[edit]
Well it did work a little bit, the Fade reveal video on Flayra's YT channel went up from 366 views a few hours ago to 917 views...

Not yet viral, but a nice increase none the less...
Machinima would be serious exposure. I would think they would accept the video on artistic machinima merit alone. We have to find a way to get them to post it!
PS:
Today is engadget show, someone go there and take a banner with ya :P Joystiq is a daughter/partner/whatever of engadget... Damn, we need some gorge plushis to throw at Joshua Topolsky...

And another German gaming magazine (on of the "big three") picks it up:
