I'm still in disbelief that that is a thing.

I still hav no fucking clue what that is.
Cult of Personality is too edgy for my tastes.

[quote='LoneWolfHBS5']
[quote='Drewsko']Also, if you want to know what the heck this whole o.W.n. stuff is about, look here:
[video=youtube;_sYPjsi0o7Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sYPjsi0o7Y[/video]
It's a TF2 Machinima series about some Medic getting pissed about getting fired and creating his own team of mercs to cause "anarchy" and claim the Badlands for themselves and yadda yadda. Personally, (and oddly, given our gripes about the o.W.n. skins) I think the thing suffers from relying too much on default TF2 assets (animations, lines, soundtrack) and not really that effective storytelling.
It's a shame. The guy made some decent L4D videos adapting the campaigns into short films, though I think he suffers from relying so much on basic player animations in particular. His whole o.W.n. series needs some heavy refinement, and the way the fanbase he's gained is acting isn't helping.[/quote]
Creator of the series here. I know this is very off-topic and I'm really, really sorry but I just gotta say something about this.
I honestly did not expect people to like the series. People didn't even pay attention to the prequel, FYI I am a Robot, until I made the first Chapter. As Punchy has said, I did this just for the heck of it. In reality, I was just trying to waste time while I wait for my National Service here in Singapore. The same can be said about my L4D videos. It only got popular enough to gain subs when a popular Youtuber (at least, for that time) did the first comment and brought his fans along. I eventually stopped when my own fans started causing me grief since I was taking too much time making each episodes (which I count as a crowning moment of awesome because it wasn't enjoyable making them anymore).
Another thing I didn't expect is how much the series would spread. Firstly, the series is based on one of my shittiest novel I ever written. Second, oWn is, after all, a parody of real-life professional wrestling faction nWo (which no longer exists) and I expect myself to gain a huge amount of heat for using it. I was dead wrong. And finally, National Service is still coming for me so I realize I don't have much time left to sate the impatience of fans of the series so I slowly degraded the quality of the animations in favor of finishing the chapters in time. Sequence-importing becomes the standard for my animations. I eventually expanded the series from 5 chapters to 10.
Plus, being an amateur 3D animator myself, the lack of support from aspiring SFMers wasn't doing much. I didn't ask much, I usually ask for animation advice or voice acting if they want to give it but I usually get lashed back. I don't even want to count the number of people on all kinds of forum who outright refused to talk to me because my series is getting "too popular" or that my fans have caused them grief (how is that my fault?). A select few rejected for more sensible reasons but ultimately, I am alone in making this series (and the mods due to the series's popularity). After a while, I kind of like doing this alone. It makes my efforts to make the series that much satisfying because I know the work is almost all me. Credits is due of course to the creators of the assets I used.
For what its worth, I apologize if any of my fans have done harm to anyone around here. Like I said, I didn't expect, nor do I want, my series to give me more fans than I once had with my L4D machinimas and I have absolutely no control over how they behave and how they...well..."promote" my series. You can watch the series here: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1270172[/url] but of course, expect the animations to be especially horrible.
EDIT: I never, ever played Team Fortress 2 before/while working on the series until Chapter 3. However, while I do play it for fun, I'm usually there to control any fans of my series from causing grief :P. That ultimately makes me a horrible player."
[quote='DalekGhostler']Lol, o.W.n
It is so fun to troll those guys and they get so pissed when you make fun of their skins.[/quote]
And for those who don't know, this guy's called Pony Killing Crusader on Steam. He was a former moderator on the oWn fan Steam group who left after he attempted to spam the announcements and chat room. He has since then been a legitimate troll, causing both grief and anger to fans of the series, even the innocent ones and even his former friends, myself included. He has made numerous attempts to make fun of our fan group but he didn't realize that in the end, my series isn't going away as long as I have a say in it.
[/quote]
Long story short, he made that to kill time before getting into National Service, people liked it and wanted more and here we are.
EDIT:
[QUOTE=ElderLolz;44430177]...is that from the actual series?
Good to see that the creators are on the same level of grammar as the fans.[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure that's fanmade stuff. The actual series is video stuff.
EDIT: Welp nevermind, it actually was made from the creator of the series.
The edge is bad enough.
It's the fucking horrendous texture work that's the icing on the cake.

Ok, now I feel like a dick because the explination got posted while I was typing this.
The comic is actually by one of the o.W.n. admins, some LoneWolfHBS person. He just does SFM renders and comics.

They are the edgiest shit.
I fucking had a suspicion it was taken from a wrestling logo i just couldn't remember what one
Oh my god that's hilarious.
[QUOTE=ElderLolz;44432982]Oh my god are you fucking serious
All they did is just copy some wrestling logo and replace two letters on it? This is not even funny anymore. This is just sad. And disgusting.[/QUOTE]
It's really not all that remarkable. It's just another mediocre thing that got popular for who knows what reason like every other mediocre thing that got popular for who knows what reason. It's hardly unprecedented.
Just ignore it and move on.
