The nominees for the 5th Machinima Filmfest have been announced! If someone like me who rarely ever pays attention to machinima can recognize a few names on the list, you know the entries mean business.
With more than fifteen different categories, you better believe there's a lot of great content to be viewed. I've only seen Portal: A Day in the Life of a Turret, The Bag Boy, and Ignis Solus, so it appears I have a sizable amount of catching up to do.
If you'd like to attend the festival and see panels, presentations, and screenings of the the entries, it's taking place on November 1 at the Eyebeam center for Art and Technology in New York.
For those of you who keep up with the latest and greatest machinima, which films are you rooting for?
[Thanks, Seth!]

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I thought it was meh.
On the other hand, I liked both Ignis Solus, and War of the Servers.
But RvB:Reconstruction isn't in Best Series, which is totally unacceptable. Especially giving the HUGE twist in the latest episode. Seriously. Anyone who thought that was coming lies.
"World of Workcraft" was pretty funny.
"Halo 3: The Bag Boy" was awesome.
"A Day In The Life of a Torrent" is awesome too but I've seen it before.
"Nico Bellic - A Portrait" sucked.
"Without Providence" was really well done.
"Blackstone" was cool but nothing really interesting happened.
I'm done watching these for now.
I also didn't really find Ignis Solus to be all that good. Not sure why it's so universally loved. Still, it's good to see TF2 represented.
