Snacky's Journal is an award-winning comedy machinima series, created by the filmmaking team Stone Falcon Productions, and filmed on the US Server:Silver Hand. The show revolves around Snacky the gnome, a hapless, gullible guy who can't say no, and his best friend Angie the night elf, an obnoxious, pushy but fun-loving gal who lures Snacky into awkward and/or dangerous yet hilarious situations in each episode.
The format of each episode involves Snacky writing a journal entry which the audience hears in a voice over. This is rudely interrupted by Angie yelling outside Snacky's window, and when Snacky opens the window, Angie talks him into going on an adventure or getting into some kind of sticky situation. At the end of each episode Snacky wraps it all up with another journal entry, which is also interrupted by Angie, and they then continue to bicker while the credits are rolling.
