Lisa cites Ta-Nehisi Coates (Time magazine) "show(ing) off his avatar, guild, travel options, a few locations, and other favorite things in WoW via Time's animated photojournalism format. " For those of you unfamiliar, it is a great way to get to know a place (narrated photo essay).
I guess, for it to be possible to have a mass-audience tour, a tour-satire must also be possible (for WoW, the South Park episode (abbreviated)?).
Alas, what of virtual tours of other virtual worlds, why so few? Sure there are plenty of fan or guild/tribe videos. Yet few of these have the breadth to speak easily to an outsider. I suppose the blame lies with the fans who are preoccupied with making videos they want to see.
Your (counter-) examples?

Just a few fan videos plucked from recent Terra Nova posts, for contrast:
Leeroy Jenkins video. WoW. Nick Yee's presentation including an explanation of the significance of Leeroy to an outsider.
First hostile doomsday device fired, video. Eve-Online. "Dr. Strangelove."
Oakland ARTCC Flightsim video. VATSIM. "Lights will guide you home."
Serenity Now, video. WoW. "The Price of Serenity."
