[blog post] The Saxxy Nominees have been announced! - Games

I feel bad for those who spend alot of times editing videos and didn't make it just for some stupid famous youtube guy. Some entries were awesome as fuck.

[QUOTE=Wowza!;30225768]So, can someone fill me in on why Saxton's Six is bad? Is this just opinion, or is the video ineligible or something?[/QUOTE] It's not bad, per se, I personally think it's getting a bit too much hype. It's a finalist in several categories, but some people would rather see some more variety in the final selection than what is already expected to sweep. For comparison, indieDB had an "Indie Game of the Year" contest last December. Was it a surprise to anyone that Minecraft won? Not really, it was much more interesting to see the other top 9 because they were more neck and neck. I'm not saying that it wasn't deserving of it, but a complete wash isn't exactly exciting for observers.

Yay! I'm in the final 30 second trailers! [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XefHdDBaFjs[/url] But, against El Muchacho... I would like to know, if anybody voted for mine? I'm not asking you to change votes, just curious.

[QUOTE=Bryceanater;30259476]You made an account just for this?[/QUOTE] No, I've had it for a while, just hadn't done much except lurk.

I'm seriously dissapointed I didn't make it to the finals, since my entry was better than at least 5 of the finalists in the "Most extreme stunt" category. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIi6E_lOPtA[/media]

Best set design category sucks balls. I'll just vote for XLR.

[QUOTE=usaokay;30208075]I'm having a tough time on choosing which 30 Seconds Trailer is the best. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XefHdDBaFjs&feature=player_embedded[/media] or this [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEzaW_0eliY&feature=player_embedded[/media][/QUOTE] Definitely El Muchacho.

It seems his ego is just getting a bit too big and now he's producing shit because his judges are pre-puberescent kids anyway. And if the judges say it's good, everyone will think it is and if you're one of those who say it's crap and it's true, you'll get wrapped up in a plastic bag and thrown in the nearest river.

If anyone has friends or contributors to their video, put their steam ids into your video description now! All of them will be eligible for the saxxy if the video does win.
