I'm not sticking up ax for its politics involving the amv contest, however I am sticking up for the people that make the amv contest happen every year, James and Katy Dodd. A lot of people dont relize what James and Katy go through, with the board breathing down their necks about the contest. Mainly because the spja is afraid of getting sued...
No contest is with out its technical issues, its just that ax seems to have the weirdest shit happen. Like this year for example, James' pretty much blew at the last min when they were authoring the dvds for the contest. So they pretty much had to bootleg the contest on someone elses laptop. But even so every year James himself has to sacrifice somewhere around 2000 bucks for a new computer because he destroys his for the contest(mac g4's may I mind you)...and every year both of them get bitched out because of somthing they cant control.
I dont know about your systems, but I know mine (p4 extreme, 2 gig ddr2 ram, radeon x850 xt) still runs fucking hot when authoring dvds...Its kind of fucked up and it pisses me off that these people sacrifice so much and get so fucking little in return. Offer to fucking help them insted of bitching them out about some shit they cant fucking control. If they have the contest next year(and i say if loosely), I've offered my comp for use with their technical issues, and I'm pretty sure that no one else will.
I dont know about you guys but I live in a fucking state where the first anime convention we had was last year, so I dont get to go to many amv contests and such, but the amv contest at ax is way better than anizona's, and I applaud them for even putting it on every year...and just for the pure work and sacrafice that those two put in I can at least submit somthing to keep ax's contest going in some sort, even if its a contest where no "famous creators" submit some shit or not.
I know I might get flamed for this shit but i dont even give a fuck, i just wanna drop my knowledge in the pool, and let people know what happens behind the scenes is all.
(Plus it gives me somthing to do at work lol)
