2012 Screenshot Winners!

[OldMan]

Thanks to all of you that took part in this contest. 25 different Villuns entered. 57 different screenshot were submitted. The entries were great, varied and contained all manner of coolness. The judging was difficult, our judge asked to review them all several times, narrowing the field down with each pass. And finally the three winners were chosen. Here they are now!

First place with his entry of "Do not want, Heavy" Alizee Fan! (Your judge actually LOL'ed, nice work)





And his inspiration:



Second place with the most snowflakes ever seen in a TF2 screenshot, Ketchuo! (even though I was in the screenshot, it had no influence on the judge)




Third place goes to Soup Nazi for his screen shot of, well, lots of dead one eyed scotsmen! There were 19 or 20 villuns either dead or alive in this screenshot, quite possibly the entire server in one shot, well done!




Congrats to our winners!


Now, for a bit of extra fun... the following three people submitted screenshots that almost made it to the top three, in fact, they were all tied for fourth so I will be awarding a prize to each of them as well.

6Larry9, your screenshot is such an obvious ploy to play on the judge's emotions and a huge suck up. Your screen shot got an eye roll and a giggle from the judge and that's enough for me to award you an Honorable Mention. Yea, Larry put "I heart hats" and "crocheting is cool" in his screen shot, points for creativeness and brown nosing!




Mateo the Bold, your entry is the perfect example of simplicity and beauty. It is also ironic to the core and an amazing piece of screenshot art. Even though I didn't get any say in the judging, I voted for this screenshot. The judge did acknowledge it's effectivness at drawing the eye and ensnaring the soul...




And finally Zork Nemesis, I really enjoyed this screenshot a lot. It tells an entire story with just a simple image. The struggle of spy vs. sniper. The finality of the gun on the windowsill. The spy going of in search of more targets, no thought spared for his latest victim. The pumpkin strapped with dynamite for no reason whatsoever... I really liked this one.




Alizee, send me a PM with your hat choice please.
When Alizee chooses, I will contact Ketchuo for his hat choice and the remaing hat will go to Soup Nazi.
Our winners and honorable mentions, please send me a private message with your address and I will get the prizes out ASAP.

You seem to have missed the fact that, in this screenshot, the spy is the Hero, not the Villain. The Sniper killed Zork, and the Spy avenged Zork's death!

Although all three of them are Villuns.

Giggles is all i needed, my work is done.

Man, there were some fantastic screens in here. Hats off to you Oldman for your explanation for each picture as well. I enjoyed the story behind each one as much as I enjoyed the screenies. I must say that I am a little disappointed in the contest ending, as I was enjoying stirring the pot in the screenshot thread (rabble, rabble, rabble!) and I had planned a revenge contest targeting you once I didn't win anything.

I gotta think of a new crime you committed to justify it now...

Oh I didn't miss that, isn't the spy always the hero? I never consider the spy a villain. Unless the dirty worm goes and caps the last point after just sitting there waiting and waiting, not helping his team at all...
