destructoid contest....but for charity - Ianki - 06-19-2008
Hey guys, destructoid has started a new contest and the prize is a custum DBZ 360 worth roughly 2500 bucks and a copy of the new DBZ game. The deal is this, everyone either already has a 360 or doesn't need a 360. However, i can't think of anyone who would rather want a DBZ themed video game system than a sick child. Therefore this is what i propose. All of us as a community come together to create the best submissions possible for this contest, and if we win we give this item to Childs Play, the Penny arcade charity (http://www.childsplaycharity.org/), where they donate money and video games to children's hospitals across the world. If we all come together as a community, make the most epic lulz imaginable, and make it clear about our charitable roots, there is no way we can't do this awesome thing.
Anyways, this is where i need your help, as i am an epic newb when it comes to photoshopping, video editing, and manipulating gmod for machina purposes. However, as an organizer i hope to get people on board on this project because i really can't do it without you guys. I mentioned this idea on the server last night, and it seemed to be something people where interested in doing.Â
Anyways, this thread is to gather idea and to organize groups of attack for this thing if people want to get in on it. The idea is we need to create the best spoof, homage, or recreation of the "over 9000" scene from DBZ that we all know and mock. This can be in any format (i.e. movie, photo, clay diagram, whatevers). I was thinking we can make some awesome shorts and what not with gmod and the sort, spam the cblogs with individual posts under the BRB banner with a short descripition of why we are entering the contest, and what we propose to do with the loot.
Here are a couple of ideas:
A zoom in on a heavy having a heck of a time blasting his MG away, with the halo 3 announcer over the top.
"double kill"
"triple Kill"
"overkill"
"killtacular"
silence
"OVER 9000!!!!"
heavy stops, camera zooms out to an uncomfortable number of scout corpses stacked on top of each other.
Heavy taunt, gets killed by a lone scout with a BONK.
I thought it would also be really funny to grab the raddiz and vegeta skins from DBscource mod and do the whole thing really straight laced with out own voices.
"hey man, what does the scanner say."
"ummm over 9000"
"huh... well that can't be right, let me check. Calibrating, calibrating, recalibrating...... yup roughly 9 thousand and 3. Well i'll be a monkey's uncle"
Explosion, credits.
Let me know if you guys want to get involved, because i literally could not do this without you. the best i could do on my own is a funny caption in an inappropriate font. Post your ideas below.

God that movie is gonna blow
In all seriousness, Im not really good at this stuff, but props if someone wants to give it to charity

It'd be cool to win and gain some rep for being all charitable....but think about the contestants. :/

Hmm....we just need to make a spectator server or go in chat for a night to discuss ideas and such. I have a feeling djy19 (or whatever his name is) might be trying out for this. As for me, I've got a couple ideas...but I'm heading to bed. Night losers.
Re: destructoid contest....but for charity - Sarin - 06-19-2008
That would be very generous and kind... so I'm pretty sure most of the community wouldn't be into it
It's a good idea though, I'd be happy to help with any filming or voicing but I have no idea how to do any editing stuff.
I just happened to post this in the movie ideas thread a few days ago.
"I saw mention of the over 9000!!1! meme on another thread and thought up a movie idea for it.
Needs four people.
Pyro called Goku
Heavy called Nappa
Scout called Scouter
Not sure what class but someone called Vegeta
Pyro stands opposite others.
Heavy says "Vegeta, what does the scout say about his power level?"
The scout runs over to vegeta and whispers something to him
Vegeta says "It's Over 9000!!1"
*Scout explodes via pre-placed sticky*
Nappa says "9000, that can't be!"
Then the pyro does the fireball taunt and when it fails to kill them makes a dissapointed/"i'm screwed" grunt.
Vegeta and Nappa then beat him to death."
But since it sounds like the pyro taunt is gonna do damage after the update, maybe Goku could actually kill them with his fireball?

I have a feeling that's phrased wrong.

Spamming in this case just means more than one submission from the community from people who would want to donate it, doesn't mean 5000 "you fuckers" posts.

I'd burn it.
