lizzyinthesky posted:Narrative momentum just flat out dies when your character does in a game with story, I fully agree with her there. The smartest thing GTAV did was have a 'skip sequence' button after you die 3 times on a part of a mission. Can't fly a helicopter? Crash thrice and skip ahead. LA Noire had that too. I used it during one sequence towards the end. It wasn't a particularly story-important action sequence but the mechanics were very twitchy for the type of game it was (running from a bulldozer, having to jump on a wall, turn around and shoot the windshield until the bulldozer raised the scoop and slowed down, then turn around and keep running until the next wall, etc.) I liked being able to skip that after five tries since (as Hepler points out) it's not going to be very fun even if you do beat it.

How is this Doobie fella supposed to compete with Jim's Hot Dog Hole? He's already lost in the name department. But maybe he can win the town over with his quality foo- Oh, right.

...of SCIENCE! posted:Three pages of Stone Cold Steve Austin is funnier than the preceding 45 pages of "lol I'm not buying my kids Christmas presents I'm giving the money to the Dawg Shack instead. Just dumped my girlfriend so I have one less expense time to up my pledge lmao. Make him put the OP on a bronze plaque for some true epic winnery" combined. The whole thing got a little self congratulatory and schmaltzy I agree but it's worth mentioning several of the more ridiculous stories were actually just FYAD trolls, and the thread otherwise would have been kept open for post-fudning news, trip reports etc, it's not like it had to ~die now~ to stop goons running it into the ground. Tatum Girlparts posted:Yea I thought it was kinda funny in a thread that spun into pages upon pages of secret handshakes and plaque talks, but I dunno man that's just one guy's opinion. I don't think there's 'admin intrigue' at play I think the mod just found a funny way to close the thread for a bit. Bear in mind it's not just this thread, Skylark is allowed to troll YOSPOS with pretty much impunity despite everyone there hating him (not that I'm a fan of YOSPOS tbh), the last two mods of QCS have been FYAD personalities and they doxxed and ran Eggplant Wizard out of the forum and revealed her internet kink-stuff to her IRL colleagues too without anyone suffering any consquences. That actually is because the admins like/want to impress them and they're treated with special privileges as a result.

Usually though they're just running into threads dropping Stunners on people and chugging beer.

Thanks for the cutting-edge criticism, guys, it's awfully brave of you to swarm these threads, ignorant comments a-spouting, now that the pledge drive is over. Hopefully you'll be able to expose the great evil that's afoot in here! (Or at least get some sweet e-cred) (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Of all the dubious iPhone peripheral crowdfunding campaigns, this one is the strangest. It's a 'personal massager' that doubles as a powerbank for your phone/tablet/whatever. Who came up with this idea, and why? To shut off the device you have to press and hold a switch that's hidden below the rubber encasing, so if you're ever in an important meeting and this thing accidentally switches on, you'll either have to take it out for several seconds to switch it off or hope that nobody asks why your purse is quivering like that. Are you drinking enough water? You don't know? Well, here's a $59 plastic bottle that can tell you when and how much you need to drink. Or you can just drink when you're thirsty or something, like a filthy animal.

More trawling the local listings in an attempt to wash FYAD out of our hair. AMERICAN BLOOD BROTHERS Movie Project Let's start off with the most well-written redneck movie plan writeup I've ever seen. I might be saying this because I've seen what's coming next, but there's no lovely formatting, there's actual concept art, and they have written a full screenplay. They even wrote up a really exhaustive page there on Kickstarter! I think Kickstarter is lowering my standards. Dr. Knockboots - The Web Series This one's kinda pathetic. Are they trying to be some sort of low-rent Tyler Perry? They haven't gotten a single backer, update, comment, nothing. Oh, but it's "surpassed 7,500 views on Youtube thus far?" SIGN ME UP. You couldn't get a single one of them over on your kickstarter? Poor bastards. SoBrown and the Seven Pharoahs File this one under "The maker is overly enamoured with their own product." There's not much detail in the description, honestly. The "risks and challenges" almost entirely ignores talking about risks and challenges. Instead they gush about it until finally meandering around to the fact that it may be expensive to get quality stuff. Four backers. No comments. Not a single goddamn update. InJustice for All...Summary MisJudgment The gently caress is this? They compare intellectual property thieves to pedophiles in the second paragraph in the CREEPIEST WAY. The formatting really adds to the "letters cut out of a magazine in a ransom note" feel of the thing.

Dude, the guy got more than double-funded, helping a man build a hot dog joint is nice but isn't really charity, and you can still find the thread and kickstarter if you want to, and all anyone actually did was post a gif of Steve Austin.

I have no strong feelings about FYAD one way or the other. I have never "got" it, but whatever, people can do what they like. And yes, it was just a bunch of pictures of Steve Austin. For three pages. That ended with the thread being closed. All because they just didn't like the fact that people were supporting this guy for...uh...reasons? There's a thread in FYAD where they're all talking about how much they hated that thread and patting themselves on the back about getting it closed. I still don't "get" FYAD I guess, and I probably never will if this is the type of thing they're proud of. I'll stop talking about it though, and let this thread hopefully get back to their regularly scheduled bad kickstarters.

Late for work and waiting for the bus? Help pass the time with your vibrator! Boss been riding your rear end all day? Your vibrator can help! Spending another night alone with a bottle of champagne?

No, the only invertebrates for which any ethics paperwork is required are cephalopods, and even that is recent.
