OMGLOLWTFBBQ! Montage Trailer
EphruM sent the trailer to his OMGLOLWTFBBQ! montage along to the MPRRS; they loved it. Great kills, great synching, great editing. Shorter than most montages (but then, it's a trailer) - 2:40, 34 mb in WMP9 format, 36.2 mb in QuickTime format. (Louis Wu 23:10:04 UTC) (permalink)
MLG Vid Content
Tyger let us know of a couple of fun things at MLGPro.com - the MLG Vidcast Episode 2 is now available (Firefox, if you're a Mac user), and there's a fun little clip posted by Ramby, of Storm Ventures. Take a look! (Louis Wu 22:39:04 UTC) (permalink)
QsK Montage Contest
QsK Productions sent word that they're running a montage contest sponsored by triplekill.com. First prize is at least $100 (more if they get extra donations); full rules and details can be found at their site. (Louis Wu 22:36:13 UTC) (permalink)
WikiRiot 18
Sigafoos writes to point out WikiRiot 18 - X06 coverage, and an interview with AthenaTwin and Mary Jane PMS. (And the usual stuff, of course.) 83 minutes, 33 mb. Go listen. (Louis Wu 22:10:57 UTC) (permalink)
GiA Team Swat Tourney Wrapped Up
Bootsman stopped by our forum to announce that the Team SWAT tournament they started up in June has come to an end - Invalid Mob took top prize, and went home with $200. Full details can be found on their forum. (Louis Wu 14:24:32 UTC) (permalink)
Old People's Favorite Weapons
3Suns noticed an article at 2Old2Play about their Top 10 FPS Weapons... the Halo 2 sword comes in at Number 6... but the original Halo pistol takes top honors. Go read the rest of the list! (Louis Wu 13:09:43 UTC) (permalink)
What a crappy way to start a Sunday.
So I got some email from a guy claiming to be the leader of Random Outburst Pro, taking us to task for hosting his videos without his permission. Seems someone submitted them to the MPRRS without his permission. He felt it was unacceptable that we didn't crosscheck the submitting email address with the address listed on his website to confirm that it was him, in fact, submitting the work, and he asked us to pull it. I've pulled it (which seems ridiculous to me; he was getting free hosting, and free publicity, and NOBODY was taking credit for the work away from him - but hey, it's his work, so it's his call), but I need to make this absolutely clear from this point forward:
If someone contacts us about work submitted to the MPRRS, and shows us that the submitter had no right to submit it, we'll pull it. (This has ALWAYS been the policy, in fact.) We will NOT, however, be double- and triple-checking submissions, crosschecking with websites, verifying email addresses, or anything else, BEFORE THE FACT. We take IP ownership pretty seriously around here, and will crack down on offenders as soon as we find out about them (again, as we've done in the past) - but it is not, and never will be, our policy to require picture ID before you can submit work to us. If you run across something of yours that we're hosting that you didn't submit, feel free to ask us to take it down... but don't for a minute think you can lecture us that we didn't do due diligence before we hosted it. That is NOT something we have time for. (Louis Wu 12:47:45 UTC) (permalink)
