The anticipation is positively killing me. I already had a dream related to the AMV finalists. Clearly, I need a new hobby... :roll:


Clearly you need to WRESTLE A DEER.

This is now a manly thread!

Also, AMV "Finalists" should be announced on Wednesday eveningish. "Finalist" meaning said videos will be in the contest unless Otakon goes "EAT LAW!" and banninates something for some legal reason.

Wednesday night, huh? I'm curious, what goes into the decision making between now and then? Vote counting, or something more?

Contestants were called in and are battling to the death with keyboards and mice...

Can I bring cosplay prop weaponry to this battle, as long as I share? I've got 4 swords, couple spears, some guns and spikes and a flamethrower.

I see your prop weapons and I raise you my sword that weighs more than some women that I've dated.

Who wants me now?

Seriously though, what I'm waiting on is some last minute technicalities that weren't caught initially (glitches, dirty words I didn't hear the first time, etc.) to be fixed up so that I can make the finalist AND the DQ list announcements at the same time. The scores are already tallied, the finalists have already been troll-checked, and the bribes have all been counted ;)

Holy hell. That is an AMAZING sword. All of mine are con-safe so yours would probably sheer through mine like a hot knife through butter.

The field is yours, good sir!

I am terrified of needles and sharp objects. After seeing that sword I am now nervous for a completely different set of reasons.
