i lol's at the red army speech...
but ehy, it's a cool trailer, it could benefit from more pathos though.
Looking forward to see what western vets will come up with...

It is difficult to explain the comradery and friendships that have been formed in Planetside. I have many friends who I have had the pleasure of meeting in real life and many who I have only spoke to on voip, but the bonds are real. Even your opponents become dear to you.

Really cool video

Awesome video.

Love seeing other cultures become passionate about games made in America, feels like we did something right ^_^

But seriously, I liked the vid, the guys seemed pretty serious about their dedication to the game. After watching that, I would sit back and look at the game as a whole and ask myself, "How can we give them the perfect game they have waited 8 years for?" I'd feel like a jerk if I ever made a squeal to a game that people were so passionate about and made it very "meh".

Time to dust of the HD camera and get my script going. I'm very excited to hear other stories as well.

Hamma · 2012-08-11, 01:25 PM

Looking forward to the videos as well!

So far, we only have ONE valid submission. We've had to disqualify many because they didn't follow the guidelines (language or they submitted fan trailers). I know someone here can throw together an amazing video, right?

What's the deadline for this?

No suprise.

A few things:
You ask for 30 secs of video? There is NO WAY to fit something meaningful into 30 secs. I tried, and failed hard. Its just not possible.

And then, more important, the prizes. A Ticket for SOE Live? really? Whats the point if you gotta travel on your own?

Put Some Station Cash down as prizes and you will be flooded in vids.

We have had a lot of entries that are 30 seconds or less.

But due to language or inappropriate content, they were disqualified.

Yes, the winner will get 2 SOE Live passes. That's a pretty decent value for a party/convention even if you have to find your way there yourself.

I'm hoping we'll have winners who want the /other/ prizes, too.

Just got a fantastic entry. Can't use it tho; you're supposed to film yourself talking about your experience. Not submit a video of the game with a story. :/

Something I don't understand....

according to Smedley's post... Vets get in on the 20th.

This contest... for vets... ends on the 24th.

Won't all vets already be in?

Or is this a way for them to earn a instant access key so they can bring a friend in who isn't a vet?

Also, are you saying that Hamma is not an intelligent man?

My grandparents were married for 72 years. It is doable and from what I've witnessed profitable for both parties.

I get a bit of what you are saying though, we're not mmorpg players in the common sense of the word. Most are not here for the narrative so much as to bust skulls. However, in some extent we all enjoy being the protagonist and if not ourselves then the group we identify with be it outfit or faction are the righteous ones battling against the foe.

In the end we both play video games and complain about lag.

(If you're actually concerned with disparity between male and females in courts, put effort into child custody issues and who has say about an abortion. International custody fights are also truely nasty. I hear Japan has a problem with not letting foreign parents see their kids.)

How'd this topc take this turn?

I've personally lost any and all faith in long-term relationships.

I am and will always be a confirmed bachelor.

I love women.... I hate girlfriends.

Eff having obligations to another person... seriously. Never again will I concern myself with someone else's happiness 24/7. Relationships are nothing but compromise and I've compromised enough of my life away for 2 lifetimes.

What, me a cynic? naaaaah

Pella · 2012-08-13, 07:42 PM

I'm interested.

But the prize....... Not really good for EU folk.

What if instead of sitting in front of my laptop webcam and telling you about my favourite memory, I act it out IRL instead? Does that disqualify me?

Still waiting for clarification.

Edit:
Fuggit, I'll do it anyway and submit it.
