EX-wife keeps telling me what I can't do so Im FindingCancunquote:I have this ex-wife that thinks she still runs my life, its time to prove to her I can do anything I want anytime I want to (which I haven't been able to do or say yet). I've let her run my life up to this point, now its time to step up and move on. I'm tired of letting her run my life, I'm tired of living in her shadow, I'm tired of having to listen to and deal with her day in and day out. I just want to get away, find my away, find my escape, put everything behind me and not worry about anything she has to say for a week or more!

What a total loser. Having $0 with 3 days to go is even better than people paying $1.03 just to leave a mean comment. I don't need to read "A Giant Pussy's Adventure in Cancun". The Human Crouton has a new favorite as of 20:35 on Apr 23, 2013 |

Then again, MRAs are not known for being successful people with spendable money either.

Making an MRA documentary would be easy as poo poo. Point the camera at your mom, ask her if you can stay up late playing videogames, and when she goes off on one of those rants about how you're thirty years old and still haven't had a job blah blah blah, fade to grey and stamp MEN RULE THE WORLD? THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. FEMINISM: DEBUNKED on the screen.

You're going to have to shell out for at least one Adobe product if you want to get into design! Photoshop at the very least, but for what you're doing, I'd probably more recommend Illustrator, and of course you're going to need InDesign to put it all together! COME ON, MAN!

Hey, I finally found a use for bitcoins: you can search random sites and you're guaranteed a laugh at whatever pops up. Introducing Babylon 2.0: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/766331751/project-babylon-20?ref=live quote:Play the best games in the world, create and share your own stuff, sell anything you want and earn Bitcoins Well I'm sold. There's a bunch of stuff in there about how it's going to combine Second Life with all my favourite games at the same time, and be totally free to play, but how are you guys planning to make money in the long run? quote:How are we going to make money? Well, I can't see any problems with any of this, you can have all of my bitcoins. Turns out you only need ten grand to kickstart the most impressive virtual world ever seen, too.

He also doesn't seem to comprehend how many thousands of dollars it costs to publish to a console, as well as use the Unreal Engine in a commercial product. Then he's DEFINITELY going to need to hire an artist, musician and a programmer if not entire teams worth. Bitcoins aren't cheap either. He's either a scam artist who thought he could use crap images and unattainable expectations to make money or an idiot who got as far as the concept phase and thought it was good enough to make a Kickstarter with zero proof of skill or ability in any of the fields neccesarry to even think of making something like this.

I found his site after the second kickstarter campaign, but I didn't link to it. Staring at his site, which took me a second or so to enter because I hadn't seen a "Click this random image to enter" button in ages, I started to really feel bad for the guy. He has pics on his family page that make him look utterly pathetic. His Education Resume ends with "see I'm educated this is what you want" (not exact words). And he offers web hosting and development. And all his sites look exactly like geocities on heroin. He randomly underlines text (big no-no in web design), uses every single standard header and text color possible for no reason, uses tiled backgrounds, and has flaming animated gifs at the top of pages. Other pages show his projects, which include CS101 programming homework assignments. Now I feel bad for the guy. I'm going to order one of his t-shirts to try to make his life better. Probably Pathetic Beaver (beaver that is pathetic)

His resume shows that he's been working as an auto mechanic up until very recently. Having worked in a similar field I've met a few people like Flick and they're always depressing; spending their day jobs gushing about pie-in-the-sky business ideas that will turn them into entrepreneurial supermen when it's really obvious that don't have the skill, intelligence, or clout to actually do it. They're like the blue collar equivalent of that guy in community college art class who wants to be a full-time manga-ka but don't know basic anatomy or perspective because it's "their style".

Bleh, feel bad for that Flick guy. He's just got a lovely life and has no idea what to do with it. Project Babylon, on the other hand. Ahahaha that's exactly what this thread is for. I remember when I was a kid I would design games like this. OH man, I had a great idea! It's a whole city the size of a planet and it has the best graphics EVER and you can go anywhere and do anything! And you can play games in it, and there's a fighting game, and a racing game and you can run on the rooftops and sometimes aliens come and you have to fight them off! And you can even create your own games and music and share them! All I need is a guy who can do art and a guy who can do some programming... Sad thing is even if he sold his soul to the devil and the ultimate incarnation of this game just appeared out of the ether it would still be a complete and absolute failure. Nobody likes this "virtual real world!" bullshit. Favorite part is that everything is so freaking broad and epic in scope, except this one line from the "Epic Hunter RPG Fantasy realm": "There will be no tank or healer classes." Yeah, gently caress those classes! Now, back to "Giving online language or cooking lessons!"
