| I predict the winner will have a score of 38%.
clearly this system is about reverse scoring, so the winner should be the one with the lowest score -- that shows respect and fear from the other entrants! Flag this | Edit this post |

| | well done, but I'd like to see it go a step further, and show some external research. most research (this is a research piece, no?) is done by collation of existing work. add that in, and I think it's very solid. Flag this | Edit this post |

| good pace and style. I don't get the graphics... is there no way to slap a legend onto the charts? they're also a little big; I wouldn't mind seeing 2 or 4 to a page/image.
and yes, downvoting is a killer, but I have taken it as a compliment so far! (only an up-vote from me for you) Flag this | Edit this post |

| very nice, much improved over the first one!
my only problems with it were the narration is non-stop, and the bullet points at the end don't match up with the non-stop narration. overall, great effort.
and... are you seriously tattoo'd all over? Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Excellent writing, although I feel like the mooring to the gaming industry is a tad tenuous. I would have liked to have seen a little more history (the art history is a nice touch), and some positive examples of where art has trumped photorealism, like Oddworld or Space Ace... or even forays into the film world, where digital film is "too realistic", so George Lucas has to dirty up his CG shots.

| | Captain America stopped being realistic as an icon a long time ago. In today`s oligarchy, it is time for him to be replaced, by CEO America! Super-strength (Congress in his pocket), omnipotence (all the news outlets he owns) and invulnerability (tax shelters). Flag this | Edit this post |

| hey, this is the 'video editor's challenge' isn't it?
nice vid. personally I thought the intro was a little long (like I was wondering if there was going to be narration at any point), but very solid overall. Flag this | Edit this post |

| darrellwu:
thanks much for the comments... to reply to your thing about length: I had to cut out over a minute to get the file size down. about 1/3 of the whole thing was about WWSM, but it was too long... I was initially trying to get it under 10MB, but just couldn't do it.
trust me, I could have done 20 minutes on this game, there are tons of idiosyncrasies that drive me nuts! Flag this | Edit this post |

| Scientomogy is not in the movie.
thank the gods, too. Ozy is supposed to be the smartest man in the world, nearly able to match Dr. Manhattan... it needs to be someone that can be considered the pinacle of Man. I cannot see Pitt in it either, much as I like him.
a combo of Pitt and Ed Norton would be good, who would that be? Flag this | Edit this post |

| | according to the ratings, I am next-to-last with a bullet! last place here I come! (incidentally, I rated everyone else's videos pretty high, but I understand the spirit of competition is at work. fair play and all) Flag this | Edit this post |

| the agility to do this is impressive, as is the speed in which it was done...
but really, it's the strength that's incredible. can you imagine how windy it gets at the tops of these towers? wow. just imagine Neo's cell phone flying out of his hands... Flag this | Edit this post |

| I agree with most of you, CompUSA has sucked for a long, long time. what is really too bad is that one of the few good chains was The Good Guys, which sold its soul to CompUSA fairly recently, only to have this happen, now. what's left? Best Buy isn't that bad, but they're not good, and Circuit City is pretty bad.
maybe these kinds of stores are on the outs? Flag this | Edit this post |

| can someone FS please explain a little more the rest of the process? or at least a couple of answers: will there definitely be 2 finalists... as in, the first winner cannot win the second time? hence is there a reason for the first winner to enter into the second round? also, is "public voting" open now, and if so, does that mean that you share the URL for your blog entry page, and people vote on that?
thanks in advance. Flag this | Edit this post |
