[quote=TF Team]It's almost awards season, and that can only mean one thing: For the next two months people from Hollywood are going to give each other spray-painted trophies and play music in the middle of one another's acceptance speeches. And when all the dust settles, all the Steven Spielbergs and Tom Hankses of the world will look down at their dumb little statuettes and think, "I wish I'd gotten a Saxxy."
Well, too bad, Tom Hanks, because you're not getting one. (Even if you submit an entry; that's how hard-line our no-Tom-Hanks-trophy stance is.) As for everybody else, though, a Saxxy could be yours. But not unless you submit an entry, so get cracking, because the entry date's fast approaching!
Head over to the SFM website for a more complete breakdown of dates and contest rules![/quote]
[QUOTE=SFM Website]Since the Saxxy's have grown into a contest about movies, we felt that the Replay category doesn't fit as well as it did in previous years. There are some great replays showcasing some impressive skills (or equally entertaining, showcasing an impressive lack of skills) but they weren't generally able to tell stories the way that entries to the other categories did.[/QUOTE]
Or, you were just awful at choosing winners in that category.
Well, too bad I can't actually use SFM on this shitty computer. It would appear that I am Tom Hanks.
I'm gonna go be depressed about this.
[QUOTE=Tangerine;42387678]Or, you were just awful at choosing winners in that category.[/QUOTE]
Or the replay system breaks so frequently that it's a complete crapshoot if it saves it properly.
I'm guessing a little of column A, a little of column B, a little of column "fuck all the people who thought they had a chance at winning the Replay Saxxy this year after last year's horrid display"
2011 saxxy awards
taken too soon
"Time to practice SFM, then!"
And then I never do anything with it.
best sfm poster please
Watch as Best Drama is an overly acted and drawn-out scene of two BLU team members high-fiving.

Maybe we should all email the TF2 team and tell them they should include a few replay categories.
Dibs on super hero scout.

"sl...sl...slap my hand.."
"i..i cant"
"p-p-please, you have to"
"I CANT!! DONT YOU UNDERSTAND!?"
I want to see submissions from mvm :<
but it seems impossible to find a server with replay and mvm
[QUOTE=ComodoreBluth;42388320]Maybe we should all email the TF2 team and tell them they should include a few replay categories.[/QUOTE]
I support this idea. I'll shoot them an email and hope that they don't have me blacklisted or something.

*LONG PANNING SHOT TO REVEAL ARM STUMPS*
I'm very much looking forwards to what Zach Scott & McVee are going to pull together this year (if they do).
Personally, I don't want to do what I did last year, make a movie in 3 days with barely any sleep right before the deadline just because the silliest idea occured right then... and well, I've already got my bragging rights... and I'm busy with work... I'd rather just watch all the great things people are gonna do from the sidelines :o

that femscout and mr pauling thing you said you could do :v:
With the exclusion of replays this is just a spectator sport for me now.
What? A almost whole page and not a single "Valve can count to three" joke? WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH FACEPUNCH
Seriously, though, I'm fucking psyched for the End of the Line video, that will be the shit.
Don't have any ideas at the moment, but Id be down to create props and shiz.
[QUOTE=Damoman;42389141]With the exclusion of replays this is just a spectator sport for me now.[/QUOTE]
Honestly, that started last year after their horrendeous display of replays by adding them late and then choosing such an awful winner.
If they wanted to be fair to the community, they should have a replay and SFM sub-category for each category. That way, while the replay category will be largely ignored by everybody, it will still grant the rest of us a fair shot who just suck shit with SFM.
I tought that maybe the making of the video on SFM would look crap due to my PC being shitty, but then rendering came and dreams were broken.

I really like how they took their own little pot shot at their assholery at the last oscars. I'm sure that as a creative studio that shit must've made them mad too.
For the folks that don't know what this references, [URL="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/24/jaws-oscars-life-of-pi-_n_2756380.html"]last Oscars ceremony had this debacle.[/URL]
Good to see they did that.
On topic, I wish I could help someone with the animations because that's all I do - If anyone needs an animator and has a storyboard and idea lined up, I'd be more than happy to help.

Last years was a joke winner was a joke.
Two people taunted in the sniper zone of 2 fort, and got sniped....hilarious.
I swear the purposely picked the worst one.
This makes me sad because I'll never be able to get a Saxxy.
do you think a parody of a song will fit in the comedy category?
i got a friend who loves to animate in sfm, i hope she dont mind me being her idea/story board guy :V

McVee said in OSFM last night he wouldn't be entering the Saxxys. Zach said "mwahahahaha" when we told him they were announced.

trying too hard to be funny dude
Watch the Best Short category end up with 10x the submissions of all the others.
I've actually been planning on getting into SFM. Now everyone's going to think I'm making a Saxxy entry when I'm not really planning on it and probably don't have the ability to make something of that quality yet. :v:
