*bemusedly shaking her head*

TomStrong has apparently taken a personal dislike to me - he's moved on from bashing my video to bashing my website. (I guess he got mad at me praising some of the folks' videos that he didn't like at all.) However, I will take my own quiet revenge in much more entertaining ways as long as I'm still on the GT site.

And for whoever noticed the problem that they'd voted on one video but then saw the checkmark next to another, I've not seen that problem, and I've been in and out of the site a number of times now.

Also, I sent Lighthouse a PM about this contest thanking the Powers That Be for trying to organize something for us CoX videographers, even if it didn't quite come off as well as we'd have liked it. But as he pointed out in his reply, it got CoX some much-needed attention, which is a good thing.

babytoons was gunny, but not dark. I liked Infamy best.

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.

Someone else had something similar happen (went to vote and it registered as they already having voted). My theory: GameTrailers may be using the IP address of the person voting to enforce a one-person, one-vote rule. So if someone else in your IP already voted, you see their vote.

Well, that person would be me, and my vote recorded and the check wa next to the ones I voted for. About a half hour later it wasn't, and I was logged in, so it should recognize the same account at the least.

CoH/V Fan Videos

LMAO! DR I absolutely love the coh vids on your website. They are fantastic previews. I'd love to see what you could do with a longer movie-like video (stupid real life... always comin first...) I'm definitly keeping a look out for the next ones.

my favorite is the blue man group tribute.

First before I forget my manners, thank you for the compliment!

I've got sixteen videos in various stages of production at the moment (all for CoX)... that doesn't include the dozen or so AMVs (anime music videos) I have storyboarded that I've just not had time for.

Everyone LOVES the Blue Man Group vid - I really want to re-make it because now I can make it so much better...

And re: a longer video, @Bloodspeaker2, @Dust Raven, @Trystan Laryssa, and myself are working on what may end up being a full-length feature video about our SG, which has a whole backstory, ongoing archvillain clashes, intragroup relationships, the whole schmear. It's astonishing how it's all come together, even with the folks who joined the SG who are NOT part of our circle of friends.

To make matters better, with folks like Leandro and Scuzz and Zloth constantly improving the programs and sites they make available to the rest of us, this really has the chance to be something special.

Yeah, I reported that guy for harassment, but I can't wait for your next video "TomStrong takes a long dive into a deep mineshaft"

*laughing* Would you believe I never even thought of that?

I think I should go for something like my "Value of PWNage" video starring this dweeb. I'll need a toon for TomStrong and a toon for Dwight-whateverhisnameis. (At least crackmonkey, while also less than complimentary on my video, had the guts to enter, and is also willing to share some demo secrets with me that I admired in his video.)

I think I finally found a target for my threat of "having someone get pwned by an army of Gears". Either that or I'll find a way to make Hamidon (or Bat'zul) eat them. Or have someone shove them off the top of the globe in Atlas.

Thanks, Obsidius, I knew I could count on you to help me keep things in perspective!

Oh, one thing I am curious about in this contest - there's no way to see how many votes a given entry has gotten, right? (So you can't tell who's winning along the way?) I actually hope not - it should keep the five finalists from getting deep-sixed by the Army of Morons.

Honestly, if you do that, I think they end up winning. Now, granted, I've not been in the crosshairs like you guys have, but the little trolls want attention. Is it really worth your time, spending creative energy on something based off these guys?

No matter what you do, they're going to poo-poo your efforts. The fact that they're probably shill accounts, created not even a week ago, means they have nothing to lose at all. The only way to beat them at their game is not to play...

You're probably right, Pez. Or, to quote the great and inestimable sage Cornfed from DUCKMAN, "You're aware that while it affords one the momentary illusion of satisfaction, the spewing of bile is never a permanent solution."

Meh, if it were me I'd just not feed the trolls. Any more attention you give him is more than he deserves.

And I guess I should elaborate a little on the comment I made for your video, since Crackmonkey=me (it's an older handle of mine that I still use from time to time when others are taken). I didn't mean to insult your video in any way, I think it's a great piece of work. And I do think it's a great concept for a video. What I meant by my comment was more along the lines of it being the only real thing that would hurt you as far as the contest goes.

---

No, no, no - I meant that when you (Crackmonkey) posted a comment on my video, while it was criticism, you didn't then come back and just ram it in my face. Yours was at least politely stated. Unlike those other mental midgets.

I wasn't implying you were in the same category as those retards. Ugh.

I wasn't implying you were implying . I'm pretty often misunderstood so I tend to explain myself even if I don't need to sometimes. And I rarely get enough sleep, which doesn't generally help.

Stop apologizing for the implying implication of another implicated implication! My head hurts now....

Ya know, funny thing about the internet - you can't tell gender or ethnicity of somebody else. You can sometimes get a handle on what time zone they live in but no clue how far north or south. Age, however....

I is 34. And rather than lie about my age like most women I know, I've been known to joke that I'm 40 so people will tell me how fantastic I look for my age.

Don't look now, but GT bundled all five finalists together, which meant a flood of new comments, with supportive and productive gems like this:

"Wow, all the crappy videos are bundled together for more convenience!"

"You're joking, right? The donut one was in the finalists? They must have had only 5 entries in TOTAL. That was terrible by any standards"

"Were was this game playable? It looks like *** tough. Btw the donut one is a bit overdramatic. It sucks. Anybody besides her."

"that game was terribly i want to sent a complant of this game"
