just goes to show if its cute, funny, and a ripoff of an internet meme you can get lots of popularity.

LOL. like one of the best.

unfortunately they capitalized on the current popularity of Nyan cat.

you are right that we should do it right. FA isnt one for doing comedy sketches or videos, but if we do, it should be original and not some rip off. instead of capitalizing on an internet meme, we become an internet meme instead.

at least my theory on it.

But you cannot deny the popularity these funny videos do generate for their creators. user created content like the Leeroy Jenkins video did more for WoW in advertising than blizzard did for its first few years. (they didn't start advertising to mass media until after BC was released) Nyhm's music videos were also a big draw as well.

People these days are drawn in more to comedy (even pathetic comedy) over serious effort anymore. I wont be suprised "NyanBot" will be the winner.

Not sure if this was followed up anywhere.
We placed third on the one judge I found who posted his scores.

As far as my scores go, I've no problems showing how I scored. However, this isn't Dancing with the Stars so I'm not going to try and justify each of my decisions. Some people clearly excelled, but I was far from bowled away by the majority of people just cutting up and showing the Official Trailers without adding anything particularly different to it.

The highest mark in any field was The Guardians with their Originality with a score of 18, but most crashed and burned with their efforts for the most part.

What can I say, I'm a hard guy to please.

Scores are marked:
Originality / Presentation / Inspiration

From highest overall score to lower:

GUILD NAME: The Guardians
18 / 17 / 16
Overall Total: 51

GUILD NAME: Principal Gods
17 / 17 / 14
Overall Total: 48

GUILD NAME: Furious Angels
15 / 14 / 13
Overall Total: 42
