Thanks boss . If you haven't done one for your movies I highly recommended it, it was a blast, and somewhat theraputic.

Somehow I seriously doubt you'd need any 'help' in the design department...but that's not to say it would take away from any of the fun of trying. As I said, I highly recommend it, it was a lot of fun.

I must have done something wrong because I have only gotten 4 comments, one of which was my reply to DR, and only 14 ratings.

d) We're much better looking, and thus you desire to impress us. It's only natural.

Well the finalist are up on the contest page.

Wow, they did it before I went to work!

*long pause as she goes off to look*

Oh, damn. I didn't make it. But I was right, I predicted that 8baller and Leandro would make it to the finals!

Need to rewatch them all and figure out how to vote for. Congrats to the five who made it!

Well, congrats to all you who made it! I just stopped over to look and will review all again before I make my vote. I know how hard it is to make them and all are very good indeed. I really don't like to be negative in any way, however...2 of the entries "I" do not see fitting the "show your darkside" theme when there were many others that seemed to do better job on that. But..I am not a judge and I will have to decide to vote for one of you and that is going to be hard enough! Again..../e claps all around! Great job to all of you. I hope one of you enjoys your new Matrix car!!! yeahhhh!

Good videos all and I have my vote in.

Just one note however for future contestants. Please learn how to pronounce common words. I'm not talking about accents or regional peculiarities either.

For example. I could be watching an entry that was so awesome that I groveled before my monitor in order to worship the video awesomeness. If a character however at some point pronounced globe as globby (ie Atlas supported a huge globby) I would automatically click to the next entry.

Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

Congrats to the finalists! I'm going to have a hard time choosing my favorite, even if it is down to 5 choices now...

 

Posted

Well, mine didn't make the cut either. Good luck to all of the finalists! I can honestly say that each of the finalists out-did my vid, so I'm just proud to have been in the same competition.

I've cast my vote and that's probably the last time I'll visit that web site. The negative comments from all the little Do-nothing Donnie Downers are just too much. Such a culture shock after spending so much time with you guys. I guess I'm spoiled...

Yeah, even youtube comments are better than dredging through some of that mess. And that's saying quite a bit.

Curses!

J/K - after seeing the initial competition I would have been surprised if I actually made it. GL to the five finalists! I'm really excited to see who wins this!

I hear you on the negative comments. I'm all for criticism, but it doesn't have to be disdainful. After I re-submitted and saw some things, I decided not to go back- there or here until the five were up.

I'm totally tweaked. There are some that didn't make it that I am shocked missed the cut. I thought for sure Etiquette and Star Dancer's would make it.

And it does appear that you can vote without registering... which is kind of odd. Luckily, the rules say the final outcome is ultimately up to the judges. (and we know what a stickler they are for the rules)

Holy cow, look at the total number of videos that got posted for this contest!!! Forty two of them! I didn't think there would be more than a dozen!

I think somebody over at NCSoft deserves a badge.

Edit: BTW, the latest Star Wars retrospective will be interesting to a lot of MMO gamers, too.

Something's fishy - I went to the site and voted, and a check appeard next to the vid I voted for. Now when I go back, the check is next to a different video.

I'm emailing some of their email addresses with my concerns to see what's going on here. Hopefully it registered correctly and they can make things work/appear correctly, and I won't have to call shenanigans.

I voted for Babytoons!

I was laughing through the whole thing. Now how some of that recording was done, props to you.

Nice job to everyone who submitted one.

A shame Samuraiko didn't make it, a darn shame. And in my opinion it was a toss up between Leandro, 8 baller, CollegeJem, and Samuraiko. All amazing videos, really great work everyone.

 

Posted

Well dang it! First off, I can appreciate those that made it to the final five but I'm sad to not see some of my favorites up there. Doomsday, Star, and of course DR your work was amazing and inspiring. I'm sure narrowing down to five had to have been an incredibly tough decision. I know I wouldn't have wanted that responsibility.

And pay no attention to the negative comments....I agree, it just goes to show how great the community here is.

It's gonna be a sleepless two weeks.

If I mention Rice-a-Roni can I get something?

I love Rice-a-Roni. Just the other day my boyfriend and I were enjoying the San Francisco treat and I thought to myself, "Wow...Rice-a-Roni brand rice dishes are deeelish."

Anything? C'mon... please?
