Third Annual Saxxy Awards Open For Voting


Strange weather 'round here lately. Lots of little Source videos.

It's Saxxy [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.395232-Team-Fortress-2-Heavy-is-Wishmaking-Fairy] time again, the third annual Source video competition where budding comics, Spielbergs and loonies ... *ahem* upstanding individuals ... get together to compete for the top prize. The one you're seeing here is Meet The Fem Sniper from RoxyPoxSFM, a fun take on the original. Want more? Better head over to Steam!

All videos have to use Valve IP - or get the original IP holder's permission - and Source filmmaker, but what happens next is up to them. Will it be comedy? Drama? Action? Every winner gets a Team Fortress 2 Saxxy award, while the overall winner gets a tour of Valve's offices in Seattle. Last year there was another category, Best Original Universe, but it didn't get enough entries to be viable in 2012, and it looks as though it's been dropped from the rotation. Pity!

Last year's Best Overall short was Story of a Sentry [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NCERdh_-j4], a melancholy tale of a man and his tiny mechanical killing machine. Maybe it's just me, but I could do with a bit of comedy right about now; here's hoping something funny takes the Best Overall slot this year!

Out of the few candidates I've seen for the awards, this video is my favourite at the moment-


In saying so that video in the OP is good too.

That was the video that stood out for me so far also. While a lot of the others have been quite funny.etc, the animation quality on that one was absurdly good.

Has anyone else had issues with voting? My feed seems to be full of last years videos and I'm told that I have insufficient privileges to vote, despite meeting all the criteria listed

My god that video is brilliant. It's such an ingenious idea.

Since my favorite has already been posted, I'll just go ahead and share my second favorite:
