Welcome to mini kniveal, a new promising team who just completed the task of the year, with a special bonus at the end, OUCH ! They also filmed "The wax statue" tonight !
Next promised videos to come : "The chair", and maybe... "Needless to shout" ! xD

I know several teams have recently filmed the task 51. That's why I've decided to announce this is the task of the year, so everyone who dares it should post a video
Good luck

Happy new year everyone !

...and welcome to all the recent teams who plan to take part to the season 2008 of THC !
The contest is open... so be hardcore and post your videos !!

Hello everyone !

After the success of the previous mini contest, I've decided to do a new one, involving task #9 (the chair).
You have 1 month from now on to send your most hardcore version of that task.

Insaneapeeds wins the mini-contest of june-july about task 1 (the punching bag).

Many videos have been sent for this task during the mini-contest period, Insaneapeeds finished at first position with a mean of 6.01/10, very close to Fumoffu, who finished second with a mean of 5.96/10 !!

Congratulations to the teams, and keep posting your crazy videos !
There are still 5 months left before the end of season 2007 of The Hardcore Contest !

Hello everyone !

During the next month (until end of May), I've decided to do a mini-contest with all the active teams : just post your most hardcore version of task #1 (the punching bag).
As soon as I've gathered enough videos from you, I'll put them online together so we can see which team is the best

EDIT The mini-contest is extended by two weeks, because I know 2 teams are currently filming a vid for task #1 and want to take part

Hello to all the participating teams !

I wish you all a very good Year 2007, full of crazy dares on videos

As you may have read in the rules, the current season of the contest will last the full year ! And at some time during the year, the team being at the first place will be granted a gift
So keep posting your crazy videos, you can win at anytime, even with only 1 or 2 vids
Good luck to everyone

Hey !

Now I'm back and registrations are again fully opened !
Thanx a lot to all the newly registered teams, I hope you will soon film and submit your brand new videos !

Hello everyone !

This is just a short message to let you know I will be away for about 10 days.
You can still register your new team or post videos, but they will only be approved when I come home, in 10 days.

Btw I'm glad a lot of new teams have joined recently... but now it's time to film and post your crazy videos Let us see how good you are !

Brand new really hardcore tasks have been added to THC season 2006 !!

Who will be the first team to try The fakir millefeuille (task 49), Needles[s] to shout (task 50) and Nips destruction (task 51) ?? I guess those are the most hardcore tasks ever...
But also give a look at the full list of tasks for easier ones !

Good luck to everybody !

Now what's next ?

Well I've decided to let the contest open to everyone, so new teams can join and everyone can keep sending videos for eveyone to see. From now on, visitors will rate the videos. Highscores will be based on your votes !

Current tasks will remain online and new ones might be added from time to time, so you can suggest some if you want !

And if enough teams keep participating to THC, prizes will be added to the contest very soon

Have fun !

Just a short message to wish a Happy New Year 2006 to all the participating teams

And remember... only 3 months left before the end of THC !

Many teams asked for a little more time... And I now most of you will be able to record tasks more easily during christmas and new year holidays, and even during winder holidays (in february), that's why I finally decided to give you a little more time, until end of march !
Good luck to everybody again

Due to hardware maintenance, the FTP server will be unavailable (for video uploading only) until tomorrow evening.
[Update 2005/11/20] FTP server is online again.
[Update 2005/11/21] Bigger hardware problems on the FTP server. It will be unavailable for a few more days.

[Update 2005/11/22] Everything is OK again and FTP server is now online and fully functional.

12 great new tasks have been added today, most of which have been suggested by a participating team : Alamass

Hello everyone !

Just a short news to announce a new task (#35), suggested by a participating team : Crazy teens
Good luck !!

...and there's more to come before the end of the week !!

For halloween, all the points of phase 1 have disappeared !!!

Hehehe...

lol, the true reason is it wasn't fair for teams who recently joined to virtualy "compete" with old teams who don't participate any more, and who still had their points of phase 1.
Thus, only points gained in phase 2 (since June 1st, 2005) are taken into account in phase 2, and that's why only really active teams appear in the top of the highscores !

Hey everybody !

The well known "Hunt 3" is finished, so congratulations to everybody who participated to it and especially to the winners : "Life of Bordeom" team

But well... that means you now have a lot of spare time and nothing to do ! lol So why not registering to THC and showing how good you are ? Can you do better than videos already sent in phase 1 ? Just prove it
THC is still running till the end of the year, and new tasks will be added from time to time...
Have fun !

THC - Phase 2 is now running, with 7 new tasks added tonight. Of course, tasks of Phase 1 are still valid and you have a total of 33 tasks available for now

I have also done some minor changes in the tasks layout, so you have access to all videos submitted yet for a given task.

Have fun

THC - Phase 1 is now finished !

Congratulations to Alamass ! who finishes at the 1st position with 2850 points !!

Congratulations to Shibby2k and Skato-Maso which are the first teams to send videos and gain points !

Caution ! Today, there's only one week left to gain the maximum of points. In february you loose 5 points for each video, except if you get some bonus (give a look at the rules)
Remember : no special editing is requested. You can send "raw" videos and I'll compress or edit them if needed. That way you can spend more time focusing on the tasks than on video editing

One last thing : feel free to contact me if you have any idea of "hardcore" task to add to THC

High scores page, teams details and video download pages are online. Thus, THC website is fully functionnal now

3 videos have been submitted today ! Keep up the good work !

New tasks online today, and more to come soon...
High scores and Video viewing pages available in the next few days !

THC is officially open today, and anybody can freely register at any time.
In order not to interfere with The Face-Off, THC will run for about 4 months, so teams that are interested and that don't want to join now because of the Face-Off being a lot of work will be able to join later if they prefer doing so (I changed the rules for teams participating to the HGF Face-Off).

12 tasks are online now !!
THC will start at beginning of January. You can already register your team !!

THC website is online now (but still under construction)...
