With over 24k downloads and counting and more interest than anyone here at Rush ever expected we are proud to announce the release of version 1.5  of the brink Configurator created by our very own RJayW.

Over the past week since release we have had a lot of companies parsing the application such as PC Gamer, Steam, File Planet just to name a few and we would like to thank them for the support they have given this application as development continues to improve it as much as possible.

Those playing TF2 have probably noticed the main screen changing, showing the upcoming Saxxy Awards accompanied by..erm..that sound...bit dubious isn't it? Those up to date with their update history will know the replay update was last, and the Saxxy Awards directly link with this update.

It's basically in a nutshell, an Oscar/Grammy/Britt awards rip off, for TF2 movies. The TF2 community has in the past produced some simply outstanding video's, which I think is helped by the fact the the official ones from Valve are fantastic.
