This contest was EXTREEEEEEEEEEME!!!

After arriving with our lists of ten songs each, they were whittled down to one song from our original lists and two from our opponent’s original list.

Only then were we shown our primary video source: Detroit Metal City.

Over the course of the editing, there were several challenges thrown in. The ones I remember, in semi-order:

5 minutes with “beer goggles” on (Vaseline-smeared lab goggles)
Roll a d12, your opponent must use at least that many lens flares during the video (11 for Lantis, 12 for Kiarrens)
DDR for one song (Tsugaru, victory by Kiarrens), added source: BECK episode 21 (maybe a bit later?)
Do a cheesy transition NOW
5 minutes with no headphones
Added source: Bleach Live-Action Rock Musical
FAILed challenge: Guitar Hero (GH3 on 360 doesn’t like Rock Band guitars, so this one didn’t come off)
Run an errand for dokool: Go get the trophy from the green room (Lantis got back first)

In the end, Kiarrens won a well-deserved crushing victory.

This was my entry at Acen’s AMV Wars Hentai competition. I’m not particularly proud of it, and it didn’t do very well, mainly because it isn’t hentai, like it was supposed to be. I don’t own any, and the H scenes in the provided secret ingredient (Dark Chapel Ep. 1) disturbed me enough I didn’t want to use them (call me a prude, but non-con and scat I find very off-putting). So it’s a non-hentai vid that uses a hentai source.

For the actual video, the song I used had been stuck in my head after I picked up a CD collection of eighties love songs, so given the theme of the secret ingredient and Mary being the theme of the song, I decided on nuns and priests as the theme of the video.

It’s a silly video, and a rush job, but it’s not terrible, either.

Since it contains no actual hentai footage, this video is also safe to be hosted on Local.

My video from the Online Iron Chef Tournament 3.0 Round 1, which lost to Douggie.

Not really a fan of the song, but the video didn’t come out too badly.

I gave it a title when it got sent to Youmacon in response to ngsilver’s begging for entries. The title means nothing, it’s just a pair of words that sound relevant and form the initials “IC.”
