I have a contest idea!!!

It would deal with fighting games.

OK, entrants must make a movie that deals with a fighting game or beat em up on the Genesis

how does that sound Melf

I like the prospect, but a few things worry me:

- How would we be able to authenticate that the winner's video is authentic, and not taken off some site?

- How big a file would it be? I'm on a friend's server, and don't want to eat up valuable space with a 30 meg video that could be used for reviews and articles. If it were a short vid, like 5-8 megs, that'd be cool.

My biggest concern is authenticity. I'm sure a lot of awesome fighters are out there, and this would really bring in some hits for the site. If we can work around that, this would be a great idea.

Opinions anyone?

Sheesh... Sounds very hard--I'm not sure that you'd get very many entries at all.

[StRiDA CoL]

It would have to be a short movie, 5-10 minutes or less, and to make sure if it is authentic, the entrant would have to mail the tape (or if you dont have a video camera, the tape and the camera) to you, then you can do whatever thing you do to post movies on the site

[Genesis Knight]

Do you mean video clips of yourself slaughtering your foe on a game or something else? I'm still not sure what types of videos you mean.

[StRiDA CoL]

like you get your freinds together and make a tribute to a fighting game or a beat-em-up on the Genesis
example, my movie:

Streets of Pelham!!!
As you can see Knight mine would be a parody of SoR because this flick takes place in a boring suburban area, but is reminding people the greatness of SoR.

[Genesis Knight]

Ah. Gotcha.

Like I said, nobody will enter. =D

[crazyjoedavola]

Yeah, I'm not sure about this one. I mean, I don't own or even have access to a video camera. I'ts an interesting concept, but just not sure how well it would fly here. There's also the problem of bandwidth. I'm in an area where there's no broadband yet and dialup is just so poky.

[StRiDA CoL]

really, you dont have friends that have cameras.

and Knight,

you dont have to be so mean

[crazyjoedavola]

Actually the sad truth is that I really only have one friend and he's not into games and doesn't have a camera. Could check around at work though, but it'd be tough for me to get people to participate in my movie.

[Genesis Knight]

Not trying to be mean, man. Toughen up! ^_^

[Genesis Knight]

Was reading what I said... Yeah, I was a bit negative. Sorry 'bout that. You're cool, Strida. =)

Like to see your movie sometime!

[StRiDA CoL]

thanx Knight

and crazyjoe, since you dont have a lot of friends, maybe I could be a friend to you ya know since your other friend dosnt like games
how bout that

[crazyjoedavola]
