quite funny indeed.

However the gamertag, "pinkponeylover" sounds like something Susan would have. Oh. my. god. Did I just stumble upon something much more interesting than the tournament?

It looked like it was being presented by Gordan Frohman and Coach K.

Turbine won last year? What has Turbine even made? LotR Online and Asheron's Call? *sigh*

I was going to say that it looked like it was being made with Gary's Mod.
Very funny nonetheless, especially that creepy laugh by Nick.

I'm I the only one who thinks having a advert, for the video that you are about to watch... slightly odd?

You're not far off - the Source SDK was used directly, though a lot of the more intricate motions were tested in Garry's Mod first.

Valve wins by providing the means to make the video.

Disclaimer: the use of Valve's Source SDK in no way reflects the opinions of the Escapist or its staff. The video could have been made by many methods, and this one happened to make the most sense. Just sayin'.

Aparently Turbine made it news to the LotR:comunnity or something...SO probably everyone that cared came to the Escapist and vote turbine. Or something.

yeah, I thought that was the beginning of the video at first.

I'm still in my first year here, so I've didn't know about this event. It should be great fun.

oh and "PinkPonyLover" has to be about the greatest tag I've ever heard.

Turbine wasn't the only developer to pass news of the contest on to their game communities. Lets be fair here.

I voted for Insomniac. If I had a 2nd choice that would go to Naughty Dog.
