Pyro Short Sets Saxxy Awards Ablaze, Winners Announced

This article is over 10 years old and may contain outdated information

Aww, isn’t he a cute little Pyro puppet!

The 2013 Saxxys are over, and Brent Kennedy’s Lil’ Guardian Pyro short took the top prize this year. It’s an age old tale of a fire-obsessed madman and his tiny lucky charm, defending a turret against certain doom, and you can check it out here:

But maybe you don’t like Pyro puppets. You might be one of those crazed psychopaths who enjoys a bit of music now and again. Then perhaps The Mann Co. Symphony, winner of Best Short, is more to your liking:

You want more? Just how insane are you? Ahh, the action-packed kind of nutjob; an excellent choice, and may I recommend Best Action winner Chinatown Getaway?

But why so serious? Take a look at Disruption, winner of the Best Comedy award. Just don’t adjust your set; the Scout controls the vertical, and the horizontal.

After the laughter, comes tears. Till Death Do Us Part was a 2012 Drama final four contestant last year, and its creator followed it up with Best Drama winner Till Death Do Us Part 2 . This time it’s Scout’s turn in the hot seat, but Spy’s not far behind … or at least, what’s left of him.

Of course, they can’t all be winners. If you haven’t had enough of the Saxxys yet, and want to know which shorts Valve thought were great, but not quite great enough, check out the Honorable Mentions list.

Congratulations to all the Saxxy champions! Best of luck with those trophies of yours; clonk the foe with pride, you earned it.
