I'm pretty sure sock's "Welcome to ET" would win this easily with a few better cams, a little better editing and better quality :)
Parent

Ri bo 2 Feb 2009, 00:47
Yea, a new version would be good. Non-ETers don't really get a clue what the games about just by that trailer, it has to be done a bit different. But don't ask me how ;p

ag0n 2 Feb 2009, 00:54
