Huzzah, my Meet the Disgruntled Spy made it into the Best Cinematography finals. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khnUNm9iToc&hd=1[/media] Granted I have a slim chance of winning, but heck I made it into the finals.

i feel bad that my glorious artwork did not make it into the final showings[URL="http://youtube.com/watch?v=eTHRdH1KpN0"] [/URL]

[QUOTE=eps102;30212022][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLLAv9VliTU[/media] omfg, my video got nominated for most inventive kill and most extreme stunt. I don't want to be a low-life scumbag beggar, but please vote for it <3 <3 <3[/QUOTE] can't tell if trolling or just very stupid. i'll play it safe and avoid your video like the plague.

My video is nominated for Biggest Massacre, yay! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Thv8E0DGsOk[/media]

I'm annoyed almost all the videos are fixed. I wanted to see actual skill and luck, not some timed videos that had a million takes to get it just perfect.

Meet the Kamikaze Highlander got nominated! I'm so happpyyyyy!!

[QUOTE=Flyingman356;30215085][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax-pUAZQuEk[/media] >This didn't make the finals FUCK YOU TF2 COMMUNITY[/QUOTE] A lot of actually good videos didn't make it in. I'd have loved to vote for this, but noooo we get saxton's six errywhere and slow-moving shots of various maps.

[QUOTE=Flyingman356;30215085][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax-pUAZQuEk[/media] >This didn't make the finals FUCK YOU TF2 COMMUNITY[/QUOTE] I feel your pain, this should have been in finals. I voted this.

[QUOTE=Flyingman356;30215085][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax-pUAZQuEk[/media] >This didn't make the finals FUCK YOU TF2 COMMUNITY[/QUOTE] Speaking as somebody who hasn't played TFC or watched whatever this video is imitating, it's just a mashup of random clips to some nice music. Just to put things into perspective. A lot of players are like me, so that's all this video was to them, so it wasn't that impressive.

[QUOTE=Sharc;30211448]My video for epic fail didn't make it in for the nominations? God dammit and it was getting some reassuring comments too.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiLxD-PBunM[/media] Also that Needle gun doesn't look like it's from a Polycount pack, double Medic update?[/QUOTE] I remember when I first watched that I thought it would at least make it to the finals. I still think it should've made it, but Epic Fail probably has the stiffest competition out of any category. This was my entry--also for the Epic Fail.

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;30215690]Real players know exactly what that video is[/QUOTE] I've got friends who have played TF2 since launched and one friend played beta. None of them played TFC. I guess they aren't "real players". By the way, I checked the description and I realize that it's a tribute to some trailer for an old quake mod for TF, but that's really not very interesting to me. From the point of view who doens't even know what the fuck, it's not that great at all and a lot of other videos are a lot more interesting and entertaining. Sorry, the world doesn't revolve around TF "veterans" such as yourself and that's why it didn't make it into the finals.

I wonder if the Final Nominee's will get something if they didn't win.

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;30215690]Real players know exactly what that video is[/QUOTE] I'm willing to guess that the average age of a TF2 player is around 13-17. Team Fortress (the original Quake Mod) was only just released when some of these people were two years old. Heck, I'm 24 myself and only know of the existence of Quake and none its mods (which include Team Fortress).

I'm really glad my video wasn't staged :v:. I actually gotta review the replay later, and thank [sp]the sniper who killed me with a crotch shot.[/sp]

most people just voted for the shortest one

i would say the best category was the 30 second trailer. I wanted to vote for 3-4 of them :(, but i voted for 'the saxxy trailer'

Holy shit, my video is in! I'm in 'Best Coordinated Combat' with 'Pyro Teamwork'! I never thought I would make it this far, wow

[QUOTE=ofap;30220301]Holy shit, my video is in! I'm in 'Best Coordinated Combat' with 'Pyro Teamwork'! I never thought I would make it this far, wow[/QUOTE] Ah yes. I voted for that one.

[QUOTE=HyperTails;30220416]Ah yes. I voted for that one.[/QUOTE] Thanks a bunch, man. Every vote counts. Hope I win, fingers crossed

My views on my video have jumped from around 400 to just over 3000 in a matter of a day, and from around 12 Likes to 38. Any exposure is good exposure as they say.

Best original soundtrack has been the most difficult category for me to vote on so far.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Pushed Too Far? It deserves to be in one category, not 4 or 5.

So, can someone fill me in on why Saxton's Six is bad? Is this just opinion, or is the video ineligible or something?
