Sour Grapes become "Wine": A Video Response to the Top 32+4

So, after taking a couple of hours to process the Top 32 list, I can't help but feel certain ways. It's a lot to post, so I decided to consolidate my thoughts and feelings into a video.

Not sure how it will come across, and some of the top 32 I'll apologize to personally via PM or something maybe. But I'm just afraid that if I don't get this off my chest now, it will come out during the critique period. And I need my mind clear for that.

Anyway, without further ado, my thoughts on top 32+4!

You are always so insightful, Brigg. I hope you bring that same sharp wit to the Critique My Item thread!

Yeah, sorry, Kiel.

Thanks King, appreciate the vote of confidence. Making the video was a hard thing to do.

I never would have thought about it that way. Very thought provoking.


Thank you for including script, might I ask for a bit of clarification on that allegory in paragraph 4?

Your bit on 16 was my personal favorite.

Well, that took an unexpected turn. Not sure I can ever look at you the same way Brigg.

Ouch, man. Some of that critique is pretty harsh. :( I mean, I understand what you're feeling right now, all of us except the top 36 do, but...

Well, I hope this let you get it off your chest, as you said.

You're a monster, Brigg. A monster.

Like I said, man. Sorry about all that. But I just had to get that out there. I feel like I can critique with a sense of peace now. ^.^

And I already PM'ed all of my apologies.

I'm just curious where you found the video footage of Kobold Clever doing... that. Those sounds, those horrible sounds, are forever etched in my brain gyri now... like filigreed runes...

You can pretty much do/make anything fueled the right software and just the right degree of passion for your own feelings and opinions.

Maybe I kinda got out of hand with it, yeah. But so many people have seen the video at this point it's probably moot to try and change it.

I'm off to bed. Good night, all!

Well, Brigg, obviously that's a lot to process, but you actually got a laugh out of me about 30 seconds in.

I do think the PM apologies were a good idea though.

I feel like you share a lot of my sentiments, Brigg, but it can't be denied that you expressed them better. Well done.


I completely agree with everything you said.

A little long-winded and overly wordy.

It could really use some Quickening.

He does go in circles for a bit, yeah. He's very passionate though, I'll give him that.

Okay, so I woke up this morning to see a rebuttal from contest staff. It was the one thing I was afraid of when I first posted that video. So I guess I can't be too bent out of shape about it.

Owen, I appreciate you taking the time to compose what I consider to be a very well-reasoned and appropriate response to my venting. Wordy, yes, but everything you said was spot on. I feel it really needs to be heard by people who are all feeling the same way I do.

I'm going to take my time, and seriously process the critique I get for my item. And next season, I'll come back to knock some socks off.

Thanks, man!

Thank you for that, Brigg. Needed a little inspiration today to finish my lab work so I can get drawing another draft.

Your post has certainly had an effect on my advice for everyone who didn't make the top 32 this year and want to try again next year.
