THE 100th ROTW!

By Ovidiu Dumitru·
Hello there, and welcome to the special 100th edition of the Run Of The Week!

A celebrating ROTW.

What did you think will happen next? Damn, I waited for this for a very loooong time.

So yeah, we did it. We reached the 100th edition of one of the most popular editions ever here on Xtreme-Jumps.eu.

And to celebrate all the action that happened from ROTW #1 to ROTW #99 we thought to break out of the ordinary for a little bit and make something special in the honor of what the ROTW grew up to be.

Let's have a look back and see some of the greatest moments we witnessed together during those times:

It started with moviemaking.fr who initiated this series and later on adopted by Xtreme-Jumps.eu, with mm.fr handling the media part. They made 21 ROTWs and one day the partnership ended. After that, Airwalk-Media took over and has been handling the job since then. They made 46 ROTWs and still counting. Hopefully one day, it will be a celebrating day for them, reaching their own 100th ROTW. In the meantime, guest features happened as well. Independent moviemakers or with their own crew, made 34 ROTWs.

At the moment, summing up all ROTWs, we have 576.388 youtube views and 186.349 own3d.tv views.

The conquering leader of the most ROTWs is novice with 10 ROTWs, followed by
Chasquido with 8 and kayne, KeltA and shNz each with 7.

And of course, some of them were the most acclaimed players as well: Chasquido ROTW #47 - Chasquido on kz_cliffez, kayne ROTW #77 - kayne on kz_xj_mountez, novice ROTW #60 - novice on kz_christmas, shNz ROTW #98 - shNz on kz_crs_iceclimb and zhady ROTW #61 - zhady on kz_man_owtcity.

But what about the most acclaimed moviemakers?
The style part definitely goes to rusty with videos like ROTW #63 - novice on kz_adventure.

And then KyU.K wins at implementing new ideas into the scene. He always wanted to come up with something new in his videos, showing that a new style of editing is indeed possible. ROTW #72 - kayne on kz_cargo.

dynamiteN, for the "out of the ordinary" title, who always wants to make something totally different than the last time. ROTW #98 - shNz on kz_crs_iceclimb.

And for the smooth part, we have BLuex ROTW #45 - Chasquido on kz_sola, Hitlooser ROTW #67 - omilo on kz_nbs_greatwall and Jason ROTW #69 - novice on kz_kzse_aztectemple.

Let's not forget about guest features. ndR with his unmatchable style ROTW #90 - Gene on kz_cg_extreme and Perdo with a video that got the most views on youtube ROTW #61 - zhady on kz_man_owtcity.

And last but surely not least, we did have a surprise as well, right? "The legendary appereance on two consecutive ROTWs by a legendary player" title goes to Micron ROTW #52 - Micron on kz_tropiclimb_b01 and ROTW #53 - Micron on kz_tropiclimb_x.

And now, the moment you all have been waiting for...

One demo was chosen, a demo who we thought is representative for the milestone we just passed. Many of you guys said that this demo could easily be Run of the Year, and not of the week. Well, now it's not the time to crown ROTY, but a time to honor the past. So, congratulations to shNz and mulder, you teamed up very well as you can see. Your video is in the spotlight again!

Ladies and gentlemen, ROTW #48 - shNz on kz_kzse_dustbhop!

For the finale, I would like to thank to all those who stood around us, waiting each week for a new ROTW to get released and to all those whom we shared precious moments during all the remarkable 100 ROTWs.
And if you can bear with me a couple more seconds, I'd like to thank to the guys who helped me put this partnership on its feet: stuff_x, Charly.0s, BLuex, LSD, mulder, KyU.K and DiENOS.

For ROTW #101 we prepared another special thing for you, which will cover the demo release #617. Stay tuned! A new era beggins!

Congratulations XJ for doing this real.

09/12/2012 02:41:00

hmm was certain facility had this... oh well, sweet run

09/12/2012 02:41:00

gj ;))

09/12/2012 02:41:00

This post was done with precision and skill in terms of delivering the information clearly, and with stellar readability. So much more enjoyable to read than lets say, a Moxx post.

09/12/2012 02:42:00

Omg... amazing. Gj

09/12/2012 02:52:00

Awesome edit, but to dark in some parts. GJ!

09/12/2012 02:54:00

Congratulations shNz and mulder for being those two lucky guys featuring in 100th video :up: I am very glad I can be reading such a news, after all those long years spent following XJ. CyclopP you're doing awesome job here, every single ROTW news there is an entertaining description and today you have made it just perfectly. For myself I am happy I could make some videos for this series, even though it's only couple of them. GG XJ KEEP ON GOING.

09/12/2012 03:10:00

very nice post CyclopP

09/12/2012 04:03:00

So.. the 100th rotw is actually the 48th rotw? How comes that ? 48th rotw is the run of the year ?:| (if it does, than you just failed `cuz Nukk destroyed that map with 4 seconds in the last rls)

09/12/2012 05:13:00

fantastic cyclopp, keep it up!

09/12/2012 05:24:00

great post CyclopP rly nice,gj to shNz and mulder :first:

09/12/2012 07:31:00

wtf?! edit nice but wtf?! kz_kzse_dustbhop done by Nukk in 01:41.83

09/12/2012 08:41:00

Well, the idea of using an old ROTW for the 100th is definitely stupid.

09/12/2012 08:49:00

Nice post CyclopP ! Remember this run, this was first run i have seen on xj. shNz with his well-know style ! ;)

09/12/2012 08:53:00

Lewly raped synergy_x in last release and you choose an old run(which was already beaten by 4 seconds) for 100th rotw...Wtf?

09/12/2012 09:02:00

chasquido :D

09/12/2012 10:26:00

Keep the KZ scene goin'. You're all awesome.

09/12/2012 10:27:00

ikote, froster and FLP -> Personally, when I'm reading something and after I want to criticize, I make sure I have what to criticize. Clearly you haven't read everything I wrote... Sad Thanks guys! Much love!

09/12/2012 11:19:00

CyclopP, nice recap on how we reached #100. But as you said yourself, it's not ROTY. So why would you break the tradition of 99 new runs every time? It's not even a new movie. If you want to look back, something like a look back on all 99 ROTWs could have been made. Nice run, nice edit, but I don't see a point in using it again...

09/12/2012 11:23:00

the idea is good, but the timing is meh. it should have been posted week ago, before the demo release. now it feels just wrong. anyway, thanks for keeping it alive.

09/12/2012 11:35:00

[b]Lovely! tnx for texts[/b]

09/12/2012 11:48:00

GJ novice

09/12/2012 13:06:00

if you think that was run of the year you sir are retarded.

09/12/2012 13:35:00

Well, isn't BLuex inactive? Just asking because he is in the end of the news :D Anyway, amazing post, I am glad I can see the 100th ROTW

09/12/2012 13:44:00

A big thanks from heart to everyone who was ever involved in making the ROTWs come true. [b]Without you, this wouldn't be possible![/b] May the force be with us for 100 other ROTWs!

09/12/2012 13:46:00

Yes he is. stuff, charly and lsd as well. They don't need to be active in order to be mentioned. They helped me a lot in the beginning, that's why they are there. Oh and bluex, lsd and dienos aren't even in the crew anymore.

09/12/2012 14:37:00

CyclopP,this whole recap thing was a great idea but I don't understand why would you call 48th ROTW a 100th ROTW? Last release had a lot spectacular demos,esp synergy_x one,so don't you think it would be better if somebody made a video of those demos and called it 100th ROTW? :/

09/12/2012 14:50:00

[i]"One demo was chosen, a demo who we thought is representative for the milestone we just passed."[/i] We wanted a demo/rotw taken from given sample, that is from #1 to 99# and make that demo/rotw the 100th, as if a chapter was closed. Because, like I said in the end of the newspost, [i]|For [b]ROTW #101[/b] we prepared another special thing for you, which will cover the demo release #617. Stay tunned! [b]A new era beggins![/b][/i] This is how we thought and managed this transition, before 100 and after 100. The no. 100 had to be something neutral, to balance the transition. The 100th edition wasn't meant to show a new demo, like a normal rotw, because it would have made this whole situation the opposite of special. It's a special edition, a celebrating one. If you don't like how we managed the situation, I can accept that, but not understanding it and calling us "retards", that I can't accept.

09/12/2012 15:13:00

And that demo without 2 sc's which shnz did ( -5 sec). Just like Cyclopp says One demo was chosen. ru...

09/12/2012 15:28:00

Why? Maby call it " remember a day" but call it rotw 100 just to close a part of xj's life... I rly dont know why.

09/12/2012 15:41:00

gz everyone involved in those rotw's

09/12/2012 16:04:00

Agree elfeN. With all respect I really like ROTW, it is the only thing I watch on XJ anymore and I agree 100 is a number that should be celebrated. I enjoyed reading all the facts in this newspost also. Remembering the old ROTW as special is also fine. But calling this old ROTW #100, doesn't make sense. ROTW shows the run of the week, you can't use old demos and make it run of the week again, not even just to "close a chapter". There is no logic behind that at all, sorry, because how is breaking the idea of ROTW to celebrate the ROTW "special"? A special edition would be much better! So now you did, what you didn't want to do. You "made this whole situation the opposite of special" :(

09/12/2012 16:11:00

CyclopP I just asked because I was really close to BLuex and see his name in there made me remember past moments with him and I thought he cameback!

09/12/2012 18:42:00

CyCloPP, to be honest I read everything, and I'm pretty sure I know English well enough to understand it.So please, stop it.I want to give you some advise up and you start with the crap.If I wanted to insult your work, I would have done a much better job.

09/12/2012 19:00:00

[b]Without you, this wouldn't be possible![/b] +1 faker

09/12/2012 22:15:00

First of all I never called anyone retard,my english is definitely not as good as Ralph Fiennes in Coriolanus but I understood everything you wrote,and I still don't understand how can you call it 100th ROTW...Best ROTW of the first 99(or 100) ROTW's would be a proper title. If you can't accept criticism just disable comments.

09/12/2012 23:49:00

Did I say you don't know english? I start with the crap? You wanted to give me some advice? Like this [i]"Well, the idea of using an old ROTW for the 100th is definitely [b]stupid[/b]."[/i]? My involvement in these comments has gone too far. I explained everything above.

10/12/2012 01:49:00

I don't quite understand the thing here. It's the 100th ROTW and you chose ROTW 48 ? Dafuk ? [i]Now ofc I did read CyclopPs post but still don't get it.[/i] Why don't you guys do a special issue like "ROTW of the Year" instead of this confusion post !

10/12/2012 04:04:00

pretty sure I said nothing about how you managed the situation. kep triing engrish brehz mybe 1 dayz u understand??? If you can say to me that in your honest opinion that demo was the best run of 2012 then I repeat my last statement, you sir are retarded.

10/12/2012 07:21:00

ahahahah

10/12/2012 08:17:00

CyclopP, I ain't talking about what YOU said.I'm talking about my opinion.If I say it's stupid, it's my opinion, why the fuck do you start explaining yourself ?

11/12/2012 14:18:00

In my opinion it's not right to choose not the wr for the ROTW100 video

12/12/2012 11:09:00

this is bullshit... :) the 100# rotw should be some uber wr from latest releases like some kz_synergy_x in 4minutes or that godroom but your idiea is realy anoying..
