Seeing that awesome emoji just warped me back to 2009. Sure feels good to have contests again.

Seeing that awesome emoji just warped me back to 2009. Sure feels good to have contests again.

Feeling the same. 2009 was also the year I first entered a video into a major contest, and it was Otakon. It was and is one of the best videos I've ever made and it came in third. I would have been okay with that if 1st place hadn't been some baby editor's first AMV . I was bitter about that for years, and entered very few contests after that. Now I know better. Getting robbed is all part of the experience after all. Now I'm back at Otakon (figuratively), and with a video that I can finally be as proud of as that one I made over a decade ago. People will see it, and that's enough.

Edit: Quick comment putting me in my place lol (and rightly so). I should probably explain that I'm not bitter anymore. Were I more mature back then, I would not have been bitter in the first place. I quite like the Nemo video, and I'm happy for the editor. I was happy for them back then too, but it still hurt. What can I say, it was my first contest and I honestly felt I should have placed better. My feelings back then were real, and I'm not going to be dishonest about that, even if those feelings were shameful. I intend to do better this time around. Not in the contest, but in my reaction to the results.

I once lost an Otakon by 6 votes. I had 7 roommates, none of them remembered to vote. Oooof.wav

Lose enough times and you can take my job

I've never won anything at otakon except for 2nd place.

Otakon had been been known to show the overflow videos during the convention, so I'm sure that the video will play over the weekend.

I am also wondering this.
