Yeah, I kinda gave up on messing with Replay mode after the Saxxy Awards just became a showcase of semi-professional SFM animators. Like, no offense to em, it's all tremendously impressive stuff that takes unimaginable talent to put together, but there's a bit of a disconnect between "guy who just has recorded gameplay footage" and "team of animators who have a fully voiced and mo-capped short film".
if high five fail won then anything can
I'm sure they'd remove the meme categories. Plus, with the amount of competition that'd appear if they made the Saxxy Awards that accessible, it'd kind of "raise the bar" with all of the crazy shit people would send in.
That's a fairly punchable face.
Gabe is too A L P H A to care
Y-yeah, sure.
I remember the first saxxy my boys made an original rap + basic vid to go with it (sounds terrible but this did include an actual rap artist so it wasn't that awful) and it got manually removed from the shortlist thing(?) for swearing Maybe not the most consumer friendly but I did always think like tf2 has the word bitch in it and is M rated so it was pretty lame to me. Just sort of my take, seemed kinda like some forms of talent are welcome and others aren't so much.
The man has cucked us out of so many video games we want. He has also cucked our finances, as well. He is.... the TRUE alpha
He uses the knives to shank the people who don't buy HTC Vives.
What does it mean when there's no rank icon next to people? I refuse to believe I was the only one with a rank placed against that team. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/1653/94fa929d-5bff-40bd-9b46-8e6eee212715/20180821172449_1.jpg
When people leave before this screen shows up, the game fails to draw their ranks.
Remember how during the first Saxxy one of the winners was a replay of a Pyro getting a tauntkill on somebody being teleported? Or how the Medic Rangers was just 5 Medics stopping a train so a Scout could get his Sandman ball in-game? Saxxies quickly becamse a SFM showcase after the second year. It's not necessarily a bad thing over-all (it's how we get great animators and probably leads to a lot of jobs for winners, wouldn't be surprised if Valve looked into some for DOTA/TF2 promo videos), but it's incredibly disappointing that Johnny Noname Shitboy can't capture a great moment and win out of nowhere anymore.
If Johnny Noname Shitboy is as new as he seems, then he won't give a damn about the awards. If they did make the SA that accessible, then I'd assume the standards would be raised by default. Plus, if my suggestions were to be implemented, the winner of the Overall Replay award, they wouldn't even win a Saxxy.

The Youtube channel of the creator of Meet the Ap-Sap and Every TF2 Animation You've Ever Seen has been terminated.
RIP this guy. I can't remember his name, but he made some good stuff. I used to really like Meet the Ap-Sap.
I’ve heard that rumor about JI as an update style for future events, but nothing about it failing to pass or even what he’s metric for passing was. I certainly hope it didn’t pass as acceptable- 400ish days of wait for an update that while aesthetically beautiful, introduced balance changes that were announced before development, underwhelming gimmick weapons and the focused class still sucking at a core level. Much of this was patched later yes, and the game is a lot better as a result, but come on, at launch valve released an update that even with like 5 coding guys probably shouldn’t have taken so long, especially since so much of it was cosmetic and community made.
Who said Johnny Noname Shitboy is new? I wasn't asking for a discussion about how the level of quality has gone up for Saxxies (it has), just reminiscing.
can someone repost that dragon's fury retexure that actually made it look good? who made that again?
Tch, typical. Probably just doing it to say they actually updated the blog in the past five months. I'd wager they're too busy with the (seemingly monthly) DotA International again instead. What are we on now? 29?
Sorry, man. Misunderstood your statement. I thought you were implying that it'd be a terrible idea to bring Replays back.
No, I genuinely enjoyed the original Saxxies. I loved the first entries, and while I also loved the artistic talent of the SFM entires in later years, the creativity of the original Saxxies couldn't be beat.
Not really. They did this every year with Insomnia. This was to be fully expected.
^Ignore this. https://files.gamebanana.com/img/ss/srends/59f5625741a00.jpg You mean this? Right here, my dude.
no i believe it was another one, by someone on here of one of the threads somewhere. It was when we were all talkin about fixes we had that we were gonna send to valve.
Probably agrastiOs's TF2 Visual Fix Pack
Hello! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/298483550020173825/423918235969388544/Dragon_Fury_Redux.zip I uploaded it onto the SFM workshop too so everyone can use it in HD 1080p. I wish mods.tf would accept more than just hats, but alas. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1484130693 https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/948458317602286693/F1554E57C18F1D395B2A46310A0A469B3DA183B4/
Grab the texture Pie_Savvy posted, but also you should grab the .vmt from the Visual Fix pack.
can we really say JI failed to meet expectatives when its contracts are now endless? If JI was really that bad in terms of results would that mean that we'd get more frequent campaings?
no because valve does the opposite of what's "expected"
