Autechresaint posted:Why would the explosions be tied to your character's facing direction? There are several times where he killed something, turned around and a couple of frames of the explosion follow him. Because its lovely programming™. Did you see how bad it lagged on the snow level? What really kills me with this one (other than, you know, he should loving call it something other than "Maverick Hunter X", which was the remake of Megaman X on PSP in case y'all don't know) is the art isn't even that bad on its own, but its loving inconsistent as hell. The large enemy sprite is very low resolution, you can count the pixels. Meanwhile the main character sprite is extremely high resolution... ...please tell me he stole the sprite art  You know what I'm pretty sure he did now.Also lol, that background. I have that wallpaper

Fatkraken posted:It's really very confusing. The miniatures at "purchase price" add up to well over $650, but you can get ALL of them for a tenth of that price? AND they're painted? It makes absolutely no sense. Looking at this Kickstarter, I really feel like the person behind it is probably a bit  and loves making miniatures but doesn't have the creativity to design his own models so he just copies characters from games and movies that he sees.So he's probably got a house or a room full of these models that he's made, he probably spends a ton of time making them and talking about them and one day someone says to him, 'hey bro, you spend your whole life making these miniatures, why don't you try and find some way to monetise them?' But because he's a bit he doesn't quite know how to do that. So he looks around and sees all these boardgame kickstarters that come with a ton of miniatures and thinks 'that's what I should do' so he clumsily mashes together some boardgame ideas to use as an excuse to showcase his miniatures (which is the product he really wants to create / sell) and has now ended up with a project that [a] will never get off the ground because of the million IP violations and [b] is generally awkard and amateurish as hell.Hopefully he learns from this experience and goes on to become a better sculptor who makes his own original minis instead of just mindlessly copying whatever anime he's watching this week.

Sigma-X posted:The funny thing is there's a sweet hotdog chain out here in California that actually does the boutique hotdog thing pretty well: At that place you linked, they at least cooked the dogs. I'm all for meager food done right. On further inspection, it's the nice red plate that makes me laugh. He's trying so hard. You can tell. All the ingredients are there, sure, but it's collectively terrible like the chef is an alien who doesn't understand even the basic concept of food. An unmelted square of Kroger american-style imitation cheeze food lays limp on an untoasted, ripped apart cheap-o white bun. The Dollar Tree yellow-as-all-hell mustard sits opposite and in contrast to two spoonfuls of lukewarm poo poo-brown Dollar General "Meatie's Chili." The hotdogs have no grill marks, no signs of plumpness or of ever being heated whatsoever. The entire meal, chips, plate and all, are meant to be microwaved excessively and served to someone who is either crying or drunk. Then there's this nice, red, square plate with a tasteful black rim. That kickstarter guy wants this so badly and I just... alright I confess. I kinda want this guy to succeed. It's like he has a dream to be a business owner and to make and serve stereotypical American food despite never having made anything more complex than Kraft Mac and Cheese. He quit his job in a huff one day at the duck whistle factory with a triumphant "gently caress you, Clyde!" Then he went home and announced to his wife that he's finally made the leap of faith that they supposedly always talked about. He's going start his own business, god drat it! "It's the American way, sweetiebeefs. You always said you love my dogs!" Then he posted the announcement proudly to his 29 friends on Facebook, "I'm starting a hot dog business from my van! Hey, does anyone have a hibachi I can borrow?" He wants this so badly that he tried to follow some foodnetwork.com recipe for the perfect American chili dog. Weeping after his first attempt at selling this poo poo to strangers, he yells, "All the ingredients in the perfect chili dog are right here! I just don't understand why nobody likes it. Unamerican is what all these goddamn people are. Unamerican!"

The patent expired and even then, the patent was actually more specific and dealt with how the pad connected with the controller and picked up feedback. The Dreamcast had a D-Pad on their controller and got around Nintendo's patent by changing how its connectors inside the controller worked IIRC.

The face can just be unlucky timing of the picture and the clothes could be due to similar "caught unawares" reasons and he wasn't expecting to have his picture taken. The beard though, that is a very deliberate and more immediately permanent thing as you don't change your beard every day and can certainly be expected to be seen in public with it.

My first comic series, Blooddrops & Lolipops looks hilariously bad. On the one hand you have stuff like this:quote:The entire process of creating the comic was an *enormous* challenge. Just under two years ago, I literally woke up one day and decided that I wanted to make a comic book. The primary problem was that I didn't yet know how to draw people, only animals, buildings, robots, and everything else, just not people. But then again this person obviously has some problems: quote:So I spent about six months homeless, and was forced to work on the comic in public places, mainly the Library. Eventually I found a place (for a few months) but was still struggling to find work and refine my skills, while at the same time building notes and sketches for other comics and figuring out a timeline for the release of Blooddrops & Lolipops and how I was gonna start my publishing company, which had been in the planning stages since 2009. Here's some of the art they spent so long practicing.

Content: Finally- the logical conclusion, the Kickstarter singularity: Microwallet+iPhone accessory(!) (Apologies if this has been posted before, but I didn't see it) But honestly, "Heh, Microwallet/iPhone poo poo"  aside, I actually kinda dig this. Making the card pocket out of elastic was a smart way to trim size while keeping storage flexibility and I think the phone sleeve's pretty useful for keeping your "in your pocket, out the door" poo poo together when it's not in your pockets.I'm kinda willing to give this one a pass just because it seems so well done, even if the concept's been done to death.

WayForward games just launched a Kickstarter for the third game in their Shantae series. I don't know why such a hugely prolific and successful studio would have to turn to crowdfunding for an established franchise...oh wait, free money. Right. It's also kind of funny how they whitewashed Shantae compared to the older games.

Give me $100,000 to record an album full of my insane ramblings. With the proceeds from his album sales, he's going to publish an e-book on the same matter. What will he educate you about? Everything. Drugs, gang crimes, losing loved ones to atheism, and judging by the video, also on sub-dermal RFID tags, freemasonry, and conspiracy theories. Taken from his KickStarter page: The New York Bomber, the shooting in the Colorado theater, and Newtown; all happened within weeks of each other? Coincidence? There are no coincidences!

Electric Bugaloo posted:Clearly you've never been to Blackie's or Frankie's- both in Waterbury. Yeah, there's a place in my neighborhood, called Dogtown, that does really good hotdogs. They use the local brand for their franks, and french bread rolls. You order them based on the toppings they come with, and they have awesome stuff like: *Jamaican Jerk Relish & Veggies *Chicago Style Relish, Onions, Mustard *various other combinations of meat/chili, vegetables, cheese, and various interesting relishes. The place is awesome, and for the price of a regular fast food combo meal, you get probably the best available hotdog, a drink, and some fries. They've got a bunch of local food awards, and the walls inside are just plastered with photographs of dogs. I think if you give them a picture of your dog, they will add it to the wall or something. http://www.dogtownhots.com/ This guy's idea is capable of being good, but dang if he isn't running into the ground.
