make invite

my brother lives in NYC and it is me and my husband's fav vacation. lotta stuff is in flux right now, given that nyc is currently "flattening its curve" on the wrong axis :/

anywhere with 4+ stars on google or yelp that's been open for a while is worth going to, but here's some stuff that has stuck out to me in particular in midtown/ lower manhattan:

• supermoon bakehouse for baked goods (be ready for a line)
  
• jack's wife freda for breakfasty/brunchy stuff
  
• getting drinks at stonewall is cool (and really easy any time that pride isnt happening)
  
• empanada mama in hells kitchen is great for late night drunk food
  
• contra for fancy dinner (carte blanche was insane when i went)
  
• 9/11 memorial & one world trade is really beautiful
  
• tenement museum is the best museum experience i've ever had. very cool.
  
• if you have a day or three to kill, ride up to and walk around the met
  
• if you want to see EVERYTHING, the tour buses can't be beat. swallow your pride and enjoy yourself.
  
• not technically midtown but walk around in central park

ily spades be safe and have ur vax card at the ready :)

edit OH YEAH if you like artichoke dip, you need to try artichoke basille's pizza. avoid if even remotely lactose intolerant.

yeah, i feel we may have to substitute a few players if there's simply no footage. i'd like to avoid that if possible. there are clever workarounds were lowres footage exists; edits could include lower res footage with a throwback esthetic, etc.

the stakes are low, and the honorable mention list is deep. if we need to swap someone out we will ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

by nature of "best of" lists, there will always be an n+1 person or a snub. this video will strictly feature the top 100 players as laid out by tery's article, unless there is a situation where there is no surviving footage of exceptional frags for the ancient players.

vinyl, books, clothes, food

all the important things :)

"hundred. | tf2's best 100 players best frags"

As Tery's fantastic list of NA TF2's top 100 players of all time nears completion, I'd like to start work on a large-scale project called "hundred." This project would go from #100 to #1 on Tery's list, showcasing one or two frag clips from each player that demonstrates their abilities as best as possible.

If you don't know: on top of teaching, I am a professional video editor running my own studio that I started up during COVID lockdowns to make extra $$. I'd love to tackle this project solo, but 1) i do not have the time, 2) frag editing pisses me off, and 3) i'd love for this to be a somewhat collaborative project. So instead, the project will consist of the following:
- intro (made by me)
- multiple editors' stylized* frag videos, each one-song-long, going through 15-20 clips each
- outro and credits (made by me)

I will be paying $60 per minute of content produced. You will have a good amount of creative freedom within your allotted edits. I understand that this is not a hyper-competitive rate in the video space as a whole, but it's more than I've seen for tf2-specific video projects, and I'm on a teacher's salary ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• If you are experienced in editing stylistic* frag movies and would like to apply, submit here: https://forms.gle/hcy8XdnCgcsTC1zf9
  
• If you are interested in supporting this project financially (along with NA/EU newbie mixes, voice.tf, and other misc. projects), check out my patreon slush fund. This project will cost around $1500-$2000, and having funds allows me to do more cool stuff: https://www.patreon.com/TF2IsPwn
  
• If you are on the top 100 list, I will try to be in touch to get your ideas for ideal clips (& social links/ etc.) in the coming months.
  
• If you would like to contribute in any other way (misc skills, demo hunting, etc.) or make a one time donation (including org sponsorships or producer creds), please let me know via discord: KevinIsPwn#1337

HELPFUL LINKS
The youngin's make some cool shit.
https://mastercomfig.com/ - If you need an FPS config, chrisfps is very very out of date. Masercomfig is a little more complicated, but well worth it. Follow documentation carefully--it's different from configs of yore
https://huds.tf/ - If you need a hud, this is the defacto resource.
https://cfg.tf/ - Custom cfg maker.
https://sappho.io/spaceship/ - Training servers for warmup.

if i was going just off of people that will see this post, that's probably right. but if a few people message a few friends and those people message a few friends, i can see it being decently possible

we can implement non-boomer +1s if needed too lol

i always considered high im as anyone who won a playoff match. not sure if that is typical interpretation but that's literally always how i thought about it back yonder ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

pugs pugs pugs pugs

all are welcome. i barely fit the "criteria" and it would be silly to turn anyone away. bonus points if u have kids yelling in the background of comms

i will be hosting occasional in-house pugs that are restricted to washed up ex-invite/ ex-high-im players, ideally from 5+ years ago. like, grown ass adults who wanna play the hat game but suck now because they haven't touched the game in half a decade.

i will post pug dates ahead of time and we will play on the maps/whitelists we're used to

if that's you & you want to participate, send me a DM on discord KevinIsPwn#1337

let ur buddies know :)

happy holidays,
mr. pwn

seeing this shit will never not make my heart happy

Will go if I can manage to get back home by Sunday afternoon for work. Depends on flights.

consider this a hopeful cu@
