Remember when Valve made Team Fortress movies, and they were the best damn videos in video games? Now they just get their fans to make ‘em, and they’re...not bad.
Valve announced the winners of this year’s Saxxy Awards today, designed to honour the best clips made using the company’s Source Filmmaker.The vast majority were made using Team Fortress 2 characters, but you’ll find a DOTA 2 vid below as well.
Let’s be real, the quality of some of these has dipped since the glory days of both TF2 and the Saxxys, but Micro-Mann and the last two (including the overall winner) are still pretty great.
There were five category winners and one overall winner.
