[blog post] The Saxxy Nominees have been announced!

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;30209806]I don't think I'm going to vote, it won't make a different but the contest is unfair.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I expected this to happen in the first place. I am not surprised.

[Qwerty Bastard]

GOD DAMMIT, WHY DIDN'T [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDjgh6vYxLY]THIS[/url] GET IN INSTEAD OF THE STUPID TRAIN MONTAGE WITH THE SAME TITLE.

There is no god. :byodood:

[Marquis Posa]

i hate how 8/10 videos for most inventive kill are staged.
while it isnt against the rules, i would have prefered something that really happened in categories like that.

the video with those 2 demos on turbine isnt even a replay, you can see the HUD/timer/kill icon.

cant help but think that valve was a bit lazy once more.

but well i shouldnt get mad over this, there will be at least some well deserved winners and the replay function is great in general.

i should think of the new grafic card and monitor i ordered today. :neckbeard:

[Tendakrunk]

Hopefully this will be like the Engineer Update, where the actual update is great but the event preceding it is a complete mess.

I thought the Engi Update event was pretty nice.

[QUOTE=Sneakman!*;30210216][img]http://i.imgur.com/XGbis.png[/img][/QUOTE] Well that was fast.

So during the voting process I emailed Valve asking if we were meant to be seeing our own videos when voting since I wasn't seeing mine. Robin forwarded the message on to the kindly Jon Lippincott who not only took the time out of his busy schedule to ask me for a direct link, but, after he discovered that the original embed link on the site was malformed, actually FIXED THE LINK for me.

45 minutes before the voting ended.

As I look at some of the glaringly ineligible finalists now, I can't help but wish I could've somehow transformed that incredible customer service into a tad more discretion on whoever screened these things.

OHHHHHHH well.

PS. Thank you anyway, Jon.

[Hell-met]

Good.

Oh, Valve. You so random.
At times you do horrible things and then you're kind as a potato.

What are YOU smoking? They're so lazy. Lots of slow 180s and everybody looks totally drunk.

Now everyone pray for meet the medic on the release of the saxxies.

Yes, please. I'll get Paula right on that.

[DJF]

There are some good videos here, but I don't like that a single video could be in multiple categories/possibly win multiple awards. Maybe it's just me still being sour about the propaganda contest, who knows.

[shortyish]

[QUOTE=PyroCraz3d;30208653]Dude, it's from the RULES. Faking means 3D stuff like that. They didn't limit faking to just gameplay. It's allowed, even if it seems like it's cheating.[/QUOTE]

is everything you post dumb

Literally almost shit my pants

[TheCalzone]

Finished voting.

I gotta say, if some of those were the best the TF2 community had to offer, that's pretty sad.

[Spybreak]

Is it just me, or does anybody else think "Best Creepypasta" would have made a decent category?

Seriously, Justified Paranoia and The Spying were like the pinnacle of shitpants videos.

[ned_ballad]

For about a minute there was an image on the blog of a double drop weekend.

It got taken down almost immediately. Stupid me forgot to take a screenshot.

No.

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;30210545]Also sorry again if the person who made this is reading this

I think it's alright funny but not one of the funniest out of the phase 1 voting videos.[/QUOTE]

It probably would have made me laugh if all he did was try to circle on top of that sentry, the Announcer says "The enemy intelligence has returned to their base", then the sentry obliterated the Heavy. But that's just me, I didn't find it that funny. :v:

[Dalek]

It's more of a "The general taste of the TF2 Community is worse than suspected" than "The best videos sucks".

Hrmm, to play tonight or not to play tonight...
