 AMV Iron Chef: Years ago, it seemed like eons to crank out an
award-winning video edited on a VHS deck with crappy source and a decent audio tape.
Nowadays, thanks to technological advances, everyone and their mom can do high-quality AMVs,
but are you ready for the Ultimate Challenge? This year's cream of the crop gathered
here at AWA to see who shall become the supreme AMV Iron Chef! |
DDR Project: Dance like you wanna dance! But dance
even better than you've danced before with DDR Projects big contest challenge held across
the busy weekend. With tunes popping up from the best of the best DDR soundtracks,
contestants were able to get a decent workout for the weekend. Whatever you think
about video games, DDR still remains the best way to lose weight and gain some leg muscle! |
