Machinima
I discuss the origin of the word “machinima” and I did this awesome collaboration with the guys over at Machinima.com and their YouTube channel! Be sure to subscribe to them, they are doing great stuff!
See if you can think of any other portmanteau words and write them below.
Now I’m going to go and jump in my pool and then drive around in my new sports car 
Another Lara Croft programming failure ?
(aye, they just showed the new Star Wars game coming soon for consoles
… Welcome to the Dark Side my Students 
)
Star Wars ——> One of us….Had to get ya….That Siccness - Brotha Lynch Hung (don´t take it for real)
Hey teach,
that was cool, u into video games? I like boobs like an avalanch and beer. Yeahhhh…
I Like the word BRILLIANT
Be good for you to Do that word ……and still waitng for the word GRANT/ GRANTED /
ye, the same
hifi (high fidelity)
smog (smoke fog)
If we believe ‘le’ is a fragment of a lost word meaning repeatedly,
then babble, dribble, maybe chronicle, etc.
As an attentive student to all your lessons, I believe that “spam” may be a portmanteau word.
nice video realy funny can you plz put the word hot or teacher
thanks 
Did anybody say anything about the sound of you’re voice in this one? Marina did you do little electronic mods on it or are you just an expert at cooing a little “…Much nicer than my world…”
“I feel like going for a drive” great stuff. Loved your little intro too, made me happy. Couple of words “infotainment” your channel is #1 & when you say “goodbye” its a combo of “God+be(with)+ye”. Goodbye
What is the meaning of “marriage”?
Marriage is not a word. It is a sentence–a life sentence.
pretty good. pretty pretty good
Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock.
…on a saturday
at 3:14am.
I hear ya there Prospero! I have learned my lesson on marriage. Friends, family, Relatives, etc. all have shown me the meaning of marriage. Today I am still unmarried.
What is your fear, Captain Jack and Prospero, of getting married?? The commitment to 1 person, male or female (depending upon your Individual orientation) or the TRUST and open honesty implicit in the successful married relationships?
I have no fear of commitment. Im a very committed person. Even when I date I only date one woman at a time.
I learned how most people miss use marriage. Some people treat it as the end of a race and stop running.They feel the deed is done and no longer have to try. Second I don’t believe in common religions. I see them as myths.
I see people change for the worse the day they get married. Yes there are some that notice those changes and work to make them better. But those are people of long ago. Something I don’t see today.
I heard it said that marriage is a great institution, as for me I sure
don’t want to live in an institution.
I recently heard that “shit” comes from when they used to transport manure by boat. Store High In Transit. Is this true, thank you.
Its untrue. Its just a myth. Its a great story though.
Hey Marina, you’ve been working a bit blue lately, keep up the good work! Working blue? Is that anything like cursing a blue streak? Please help!

Hi, just wondering, if my name, phenylethylanamine, means what I think it means. Can you tell me what you think it is?
it should be “phenylethylamine”. and … what do you think it means?
I think it means: a chemical reaction in the brain that convinces us we are in love, or lust, and induces us, using said emotions, to trust, but then is metabolized and becomes redundant.
Teach, Where are You, ? Still out in your “New Car”. Your being a little aloof. Are you pouting? We still love you , Just hate the bad clone. We [ I ] come here to hear You explain “The Worgins of those Words” I think most of us have better things to do, But we check in to see your smiling happy face…….will ok , But . Dogs and Puppets …….not.
I was wondering if anybody can what the deal is with video that plays ever single time i log on…and who the heck is itchy amber anyway?
pagedoll where are you refering too. this website or the youtube site?
this one. you know the pool the jerks the sharks and of coarse “itchy amber”
that only runs when you first log on its 1 of Marinas ad revenue generators to help pay for the website
oh! ok. fair enough
thanks stokesjrj1
pagedoll… if you are logged in.. you should NEVER see the ad again. Do you have your computer deleting your cookies every time you shut down or quit your browser? You shouldn’t. I’ve seen that ad ONCE since they added it.
Your back i was beginning to worry about You.
honestly, i dont even no what a cookie is sorry
i’ll look into that. its no biggie and like i said i only see it when first log on. i can deal. no worries. thanks for the prompt response 
Hey Marina, could you put a donation button on your site so we can help pay for the site. I think many of us would love to help cover some of the cost associated with running your server. What ya say?
Hi Marina,
I LOVE your passionate and playful style
Also I have a word request, please could you talk about the word obnoxious. I think thats a funny sounding word. Thank you so much Marina.

Hi Marina :
I believe the object you are speaking of is a tulip. As in tulip mania.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/
I’ve only known about your website for two weeks. It’ great and your are absolutely Fantaselicious! What do you think of my new portmanteau.
Well, I have a word request for a friend that didn’t know the meaning of the word smitten. As in i am quiet smitten with your charm, beauty, and intelligence.
Also some day i would love too play among your hollow , dell and dingle. ha if only.
Моё судно на воздушной подушке полно угрей
Well we mustn’t forget the letters we droped tomake the new word, after all each letter might represent someones whole existence.

Ticd, as in a contest between blue ray and cd the tie always goes to the cd as it is the most common denominator
stokesjrj1, you seem to have repeated yourself on this comment.. which version do you want to keep?
Thanks for asking the bottom one.no the top one, no together they are the complete comment.
Is that comment allowed?
Sorry Teacher i seem to be able to type faster than the comment box can keep up with at times. Thats supposed to be ….”dropped” not “droped”
Teacher you are the best
Whats the origin of the word sympathy?
Teach, Please leave “Machinima” to the shut ins, Focus on your strengths, With O’Reilly and Others , You are on the way to becoming a Phenom. Like Cher, Madona, and others that took what god gave them and challenged the World.
Hey Marina, Who is your web server provider? I want to know so I don’t buy anything from them. I couldn’t believe they went down twice.
Amen. Jack. I like the new picture.
You like the new photo?!?? That my old Second Life Avatar. I had a girl help me pick out shape and skin. I kind of wanted it to look like the real me but a bit enhanced. I never have a problem finding a date in SL.
Song playing in my head…% Im too sexy for my car.. Im too sexy for my yacht. Im too sexy for my shirt…
Yea there starting to come back now
Oh Yea aLx also.
huh?
embedded on the wp servers?
I simply uploaded an image on gravatar.com …
Hmm all my gravitars have disappeared after an automatic update of my avast antivirus. all except prospero811,annuddermale, nighteye,greenbush,Bob,and harveycasual . You guys must be embedded on the wordpress servers to be able for me to still view your avatars. Wordpress might want to investigate a better security package than the one they are currently using.
my gravatar comes from here, not WordPress. WordPress simply has a gravatar-enabled system…
That is who serves your gravatar, or did someone there make your gravatar for you, or do you work for them, otherwise that is not where your gravatar, came from. I did not know they provided the actually icon.
that is the site that hosts my gravatar, correct…i simply uploaded the image file and that site created the gravatar…
to recognize the gravatar, a site has to have a correctly executed gravatar plug-in…
so perhaps there was a problem with the plug-in on the HotForWords site temporarily after the servers went down, or perhaps the servers hosting the gravatars for the members whose images remained “up” were simply closer to the HFW server and therefore the links came back up faster than for those whose servers were further away…
or maybe it was just luck…
Don”t know what to say Mr. stokesjrj1. I added extra weight to my home-made gravatar so the anchor wouldn’t slip out………Yeah, I’ve been having problems logging in to reply here, many times. So I go to my msn browser, or IE7, or firefox/mozilla. I don’t know what works best because the answer always changes. But Miss HFW said about cookies, not to delete them. Not for me. I delete my cookies, temp files, run ccleaner, Mcafee cleaner, spyware check, ect. every day. So maybe the answer is in the server for HFW, as it is somewhat overloaded ( that’s why us dear students don’t have the option to rate this video any more).
If that’s you from now on… here are your future students! XD
And they can be so… caprisious.
Humorously,
Chemikal
Chemikal, Those are very good .
Hey I’m new hear but I was wondering if you could tell me about the words Blaidd Ddrwg, Wales, and Welsh please.
I would rather have my “Hot for Words” lessons directly from the real Marina.
For me I would rather get to know how she thinks, what her thoughts are, what are her visions of her future, how she stumps me with her knowledge, etc. Hot babes are a dime a dozen. Super Smart hot babes are very rare. Hell if Marina was just a head in a jar like in the TV show Futurama. I would still be hear watching the vids.
I’ll take Marina any form she wishes to put her self into and I’ll love every minute of it.
Hey captinjack! thanks for the reply a few days ago. it seems i cant visit this site without learning something every time. i love it! i see you changed your av and because i can find humor in ALMOST everything I must tell you the first thing i thought of was good ol’ fire marshall bill. “Let me show ya somptin’”!! take a look and tell me if im wrong http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMCEzjj51s4 …please dont be made
like i said its just the first thing that came to mind 
We all learn here. Even our wonder teacher Marina. You see when we all share just a little bit if information to others we add to our collective knowledge. We are all teachers to some extent.
Humor… Well if you can’t laugh and have fun in life then whats the point? Even in my classes I do silly stuff. Like for example you know when your teacher would throw an eraser at someone that gave a silly answer? Well I do the same thing but I throw rubber ducks. I throw it first then say “DUCK!”. It always get a laugh. Most of all it keeps the sometimes boring lectures I have to preach to the class. I should video tape a class or two. Even though the subject might not be of interest to some people but I think the show would be entertaining.
I love Jim Carrey stuff. Funny guy!

NO-GO.
Hey Bruce she will be back they’ve just gone to discipline a very special spoiled child.
Bruce do you like playing celestial celestial chess with our father?
Back in the 60s-70s during the reign of sports analyst Howard Cosell, I invented a word to describe his manner of speaking, and called it “diarrhetoric”.
Its also called ratchetjaw
motormouth
I prefer the real thing
Man-oh-man!!
InpUt! INpuT! iNpUt!
all the coool links!!!!
I’m checking them all
out - and I am VERY
IMPRESSED!
It’s like a sh*t storm
of creativity has struck!
The nothing like the real McCoy or Marina for that matter.
What? no outtakes tacked on at the end? c’mon guys, get with the program.
‘er, okay…u’re a doll…
always ‘ave been, so what’s a more…animated…one?…
as for smooshed together words, i like imperogative,, which my now 10-yr-old son coined last year for questions that are delivered with strong emotion (imperative interrogatives) yes, i’m sure he’s not the only one to “coin” the word. but, dabnabit, he’s my son…
…
an example of an imperogative:
WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?????!!!!
So dumb.
really?…drat…i’m very touched by ur honesty…
go ahead, arse me something else…
ok, dumb arse mouth!
wow…quite a wit there…
and you are only using half of it…
Well it only takes that amount with someone of your caliber. Waste not want not.
ouch…and here i thought i was so-o-o smart…
oh, wait…
no, i didn’t…
don’t know what your purpose in attacking me is, stokesjrj1…
but then, ad hominems seldom have points…
annuddermale. Your nothing but another of those people who I AM calling a mudduaber someone who likes to sprinkle there sentences with trap words to stay on the government dole
ffs, i do earn a living, sir…
but i see by the various conversation you are having here that you really are just a troll…to quote wikipedia,
i hope you have a better day…and that you learn proper grammar…the words are “you’re” & “their”…
I agree whatever
Inperogative, I like it! Reminds me of the profound spiritual awakening some critters get when they realize they’ve been brought back to life as a rural humanoid in the deep Appalachians (reintarnation).
Oops, I meant ‘imperogative.’ Nice one, annuddrmale.
thank you, pennsyitucky9…
but the word really comes from my son, annudderBoy…
and thanks for the fix, whoever fixed my post error this morning…
Somehow, with the word machinima, the first thought that occurs to me is, Deus Ex Machinima.
Some cool Machinima:
Galaxy Gulp
Dr. Strangeman
Dear Miss HFW: I agree with pagedoll and roadrunrch, poodle dogs and animation just aren’t my favorite videos. Let’s see portmanteau: I’ve never tried to mix clams with tomato, but clamato is on the store shelves. Miss/Mrs Shakira gets really hip shaken hot when someone speaks Spanglish to her. And not to many years ago Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez made a dud of a movie, together they were Benifer. Claymation also comes to mind. May I be the first to suggest that Senator Obama’s campaign of change and hope, be termed ……CHOPE We can do it! I better go back to my day job.
I wish I go into the 3D world. My only chance to get in is in my deep sleep.
dude, you are in a 3D world.
Really? Nice! Thanks buzzword.
I’ve always liked the words fantabulous and ginormous. There’s also rockumentary and sitcom.
marina, you should have been in the new weezer, pork and beans video.
You mean she wasn’t?
I found the road to hell to be too easy to find & pleasant. Thanks to my Russian friends.
better version
Lovelike the live stuff better.this chris rea guy isn’t bad. i sent mail to you on youtube. did you get that?
Cool! Reminded me of the Bellagio fountains in Vegas
(guess i need a link to Oceans 11, eh?) Thanks!
The Fellagio?
I loved the video, you did a fabulous job! I did a video response to it on YouTube also to request the word Avatar since it goes along with it because most machimina use them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yu-I_IirPc
For the homework of portmanteau words Brunch is fairly common as between Breakfast and Lunch. I’m not sure this qualifies but Brangelina might someday be one.
Keep up the fantastic work and I can’t wait for your next video!
Saw your response ArgonTheAware.. I already downloaded it and I will look into doing a video. Thanks so much!
Marina
It’s my extreme pleasure, if I can be of any further help to contribute anything I’d be more than willing. I can do stuff that’s a lot more involved than just machinima.
LOL! best “come on” line today!
Thats fantastic Marina, as you might already know I spend a lot of time in SL (Second Life). My future plan was to move my captains classes into SL. Im networked with some of the biggest In-world developers that are helping me with such a move.
ArgonTheAware is correct. You will find SL being the perfect platform to work in a VR world. There is a steep learning curve but if you watch the training videos from Torley Linden you should do fine.
Oh btw. My new avatar today is from SL. Yea I dress up as a captain in-world also. Whats wrong with playing what your really are in real life? Apparently Im not the only one. I met a few captain’s in SL that are doing the same thing. Yes I do have other outfits in SL. I have so much that I have forgotten what I have. Some of my SL friends say thats nothing compared to what they have. Thats just fine I have my 300 foot sailboat to play on.
@Marina, It would be great if you do a vid on the word Avatar. With SL Lindens taking avatars to the extreme level in VR worlds this would make a good video. In SL we tend to shorten the word Avatar to Av. Like vid for Video, etc. We should meet up in world so we can get you some good skins, shapes, classroom, mansion, etc. Need to get ArgonTheAware to do a machinima of you until you get the hang of things.
Oh Marina, one more thing. You can play YouTube videos in SL. Check out my friend Torley Linden’s video on how to do this.

I challenge you to find the origin of the word Corset. Gosh, I can’t imagine what you’ll be wearing if this makes the cut. . .
Lol, this was one of the coolest videos you’ve done thus far :).
i much perfer u in person but this was done well thanxs babylious
Hello Marina
What is the origin of the word “Fetish” as in foot fetish and breast fetish?
I have a fetish for you..
I was wondering if you could explain the origins and differences of the words further & farther. It seems at times that they can be used interchangeably, but I know that they have different meanings. Please help me to understand them better.
I have to admit, I much prefer the real Marina. The video was okay in terms of explaining the term “machinima” . . . but the lip sync, intermittently flashing teeth, and disconnect between what was being said and the body language that accompanied it keep this visual art form from being of much interest to me. On the other hand, I really like the more refined CGI-humans that more or less began with “Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within,” continued with “Polar Express” and the more recent “Beowulf” (wouldn’t it have been wonderful if the Angelina Jolie role had gone to Marina instead?!?), and, theoretically, will return in James Cameron’s upcoming films.
What you don’t like to change it up a bit? Its not like she is going to disappear into the VR world and not do anymore videos of herself.
Your going to see much more Machinima in movies because of the cost factor and ability to do things on a computer that are imposable to do in RL. One reason why things like Japanese anime is still very popular.
I’m not lovin’ it. 5 stars just ’cause but this might as well have been the lesson today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BovQyphS8kA
Hey pagedoll, Marina may enjoy doing duets & some may be unlikely, but if she doesn’t try how will she know what works. Sometimes she will do something especially for you. Some duets are wrong & may give you the creeps
See if practice paid off
Please dont get me wrong BillyB i agree. I just thought the cookie monster was funny
I dont know to much(anything) about the whole sims thing. was that you getting married to someone in the sims world? do you control all actions in the sims or do they take over at some point?
I hadn’t heard the Flower Duet done by guys before. Have you got what it takes?
Mana Marina
That was great bob! I love that one. starting the day off with a giggle is always better that not
Thanks bob,
I agree with pagedoll, except it was a good way to end my day.
All of these references to other videos is great since I really don’t cruise around that much- news mostly.
Great one Bob. Love that weird song!
Im a big fan of the Muppet Show. I even have Beaker the Muppet in a 9 inch doll.
Thanks for the change of pace pagedoll
I Know so little about most things, the sims even less, my daughter used to play around with the sims stuff before she moved out. My daughter is getting married 14th June (outdoors planned) so I guess you could say the sims version is like my wedding, if you consider who pays.(Sims’s virtualy cheeper)
My future son on law did some claymation work & something is posted on Youtube (I can’t remember the name), but my daughter won’t leave him the time to do that anymore.
I thought the cookie bit was funny as relates to your pic. Bob’s manamana vid wouldn’t run for me… que sera sera
Hi, Hot For Words! I have a word request that I hope you can help me out with. The word is ‘cavalcade’. Is this word tied at all to the words ‘cavalry’ and ‘arcade’ (or rather the -ade ending)? Thanks!
Not a bad representation of Marina, but I think I prefer the real thing. No teacher’s pet this time?
I actually have two word requests.
“Under Thumb”
&
“Sliver Tongue”
There’s a saying that I’ve heard for YEARS and I’ve always wanted to know what exactly did it mean, and where it came from
“Chickens are coming home to roost”
For Example…..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcFURiI53fQ
Thank you SOOOO much for considering this, and I’ve commented on the vid ^_^
See ya soon
Ritel-in or Ritel-out?
Just bustin’ yer chops..
Be a little patient..
she’s still moving in
and needs the time.
Huh? this is actually an addendum for roadrunmch..
somehow it moved to main comments, oh well
Ahoj Marina. SPORK ~ a useful utensil.
And word request please… ZODIAC.
Machinima Marina is a nimble minx - yeow!
jumping jacks on the sofa - Woo Hoo!
the volumetric adjustments were a tad
interesting. is lip-synch portmaneau?
Did Marina say “I’m hot”?
HMMM…. fodder for a trance music loop?
(get busy fellas - i’d like to see a link)
How does that song go…
..And everything’s perfect at Barbie’s house
Yabba dabba dabba doo!
Marina, you’re a doll!
For my assignment I offer the word “screamo”, a new age type of music from the words “scream” and “emotion”.
sniperskaya, your life is not worth a plug nickel.!
stokesjrj1, would you mind explaining what you mean by that? In some way that might be interpreted as a threat.
Hi Marina,
I’m wondering if my bicycle art website name fits the rules for portmanteau.
It encompasses biking and grooving… thus the name “bikengruvin”… a new word… hmmm?
Enjoyed the video very much.
Keep on “groovin”
Ooops! mistaken link above… Don’t click it!
link to bikengruvin… http://www.bikengruvin.com/slide.htm
Hey Marina… let me build you a nice bike table… say for placing all ofyour… web oscars, emmys, jewelry, phones, diamonds, gold bullion, loose change, snack bars, pokerchips, penthouse key, or whatever!
Cheers!
I don’t think so, Harv.
I believe a portmanteau word has to be composed of two words with a common sound or , at least, a common letter as a place where they morph together.
Bike - gruvin’? Doesn’t work for me.
MAN …….;I CAN NOT EVEN TYPE OR SPELL WITHOUT A GOOD VID.,, JONES’N FOR A FIX. PLEASE MUST HAVE, INTELLECTUAL STIMULATION. !THE VOICES ….!WON’T STOP.!
AUhGGG
wtf. caps down, pls. kthxbye.
The Best Machinima Ever
I’ve been waiting to see who was gonna post that link!
Impeccable timing, Bravo!
I’m hoping my incredible timing, coupled with my staggering intellect and god-like physique, will earn me Teacher’s Pet status soon.
