Good to see my commercial parody made it.
The "extreme" thing is a contest, right?
Looking forward to whatever this "event" is.

[GloryQuestor]

The "extreme" thing is a contest, right?

It is, but separate from the main contest. We traditionally only post the winner of the AMV Extreme Contest when it's announced at the convention.
