• game Windows Pussy Destroyer by PixelProtein
• Not a huge fan of the idea of setting cats on fire (imaginary or not), but the firetruck ramming into the tree and then slowly beep-beep-beeping out in the middle of the chaos was comedy gold.

• As someone with a Phantom 3, I wish I had the balls to do these shots with it.

• demo Windows sp04 - Hello, Kevin - A Dental Journey by Spacepigs [web]
• I honestly didn't think most of the prod was funny, neither did it feel like it was meant to be (aside from maybe the obvious microtransactions part) - but then, when I tried to do a similar demo I ran into the issue that some people just laugh when they see something absurd or surreal, almost as a defensive reaction. Nothing to do about that there.
  
  Thing about disability is that our definition of it comes from a tacit unwritten understanding of what "normal" or "healthy" is - we think someone with a single leg is disabled because the majority of the world is centered around people with two legs. But within the world of the demo there is no indication whether Kevin is disabled or not - the teeth / eyeballs that fall out regrow (seems to be a routine part of his existence), and he seems to have the capabilities to both play soccer sport, code a demo and make music - the constant gagging noise is a bit disturbing, sure, but at the same time he doesn't have a nose so no surprise there. It is understandable that people look at that and think "we'll he's disabled" but then if there's ever an alien race with two heads looking at us, they'd think the same. Context matters and representation matters, and the script shows Kevin to be perfectly happy with where he is and what he does.
  
  I feel a lot of the argument of "mockery" is spurred by the narrator who is obviously somewhat condescending in tone, but at the same time noone requires narrators to be sympathetic or reliable (Stanley Parable was obviously mentioned here, but also e.g. Bioshock), and noone obliges you to take their angle as the core of the piece. As soon as they went "follow the instructions", I lost sympathy for them and began considering the narrator the villain of the piece, and Kevin as the actual positive protagonist. This doesn't say anything about the script's intentions, instead it simply creates two subjective characters instead of one, and offers you a juxtaposition in two different sides you can pick.
  
  I for one know that #ImWithKevin. Because he at least made a fucking demo.

• demo Windows Solitude by Aberration Creations
• For what is essentially a first prod, I thought this was super impressive in the amount of content that was in there.
  
  Also always nice to hear some B-Complex.

• 4k Windows Horizon Machine by Eos & Alcatraz [web]
• Wow, how confident do you have to be to do something that is THIS glacial in pace? I don't wanna namedrop Kubrick but I think it's inevitable at this point.

• 4k Windows final stage by 0x4015
• The moment when the camera zoomed in while tracking the squadron is when I was sold. Then the explosion came.
  
  Was this the best intro in the compo? I don't know.
  Does it matter? In the grand scheme of things, probably not.
  
  It was truly the clash of giants in front of our eyes.

• I'm so glad you were able to pull this off :)

• 4k Windows Absolute Territory by Prismbeings
• The compo just kept going and I kept thinking "but Noby said he has an entry". Then it dropped.
  
  Holy shit man.
  
  The audio itself would've crushed any other compo, but the direction was what made it insane.

• demo JavaScript What Are You Syncing About? by Ninjadev [web]
• Probably my favorite demo of the compo, the direction is bang on without a question. Also, as a sidenote, finally a demo that's "simple" enough that you can show to a beginner and say "hey, you can build something really cool from basic elements and a bit of finesse".

• demo Windows sp04 - Hello, Kevin - A Dental Journey by Spacepigs [web]
• The direction and especially the sound design is painfully tight and visceral.
