Well... The cats jumped onto the table and knocked all the other dice off and under the couch, and the 3 other Crown Royal bags of dice are all upstairs. You can't expect me to walk that far just for more dice, can you? I guess what I'm saying is, give me, ummmmm, $20,000 to make some cat-proof dice?

That's pretty much a copy of an official Magic product, the (vastly overpriced) life counter you can get in the Commander's Arsenal set. A friend of mine has one, and while it works okay it really isn't worth the $40 it usually goes for.

When MALEV Hungarian Airlines went bankrupt in 2012, many Hungarians couldn't let it go, and soon enough a new name Solyom Airways appeared on the radar.
For the past year and a half it's been alternating between being a scam and being legit multiple times, and looks like now they are trying to get things running with a kickstarter campaign!

So, help kickstart the new Hungarian Airlines:

Once they realize that their fish tank is worthless because goldfish have 5-second memories maybe they can focus more on other urban legends for their next project, like a face mask to keep out those 5 spiders you swallow in your sleep every year or gloves to protect you from the daddy longlegs venom.

Things a fish tank needs to keep the fish healthy:

- Filtration

- Circulation

- reasonable size

- not being constantly jostled about

- Toy car wheels X



Things that will get this Kickstarter funded but keep costs down to a minimum

- Filtration X

- Circulation X

- reasonable size X

Roger Corman made a few delightful ones, all of which are on Netflix. For whatever reason, some of them are attributed to Poe. There's actually a lot of Lovecraftian cinema on netflix, either directly adapted or just influenced heavily by.

How could this happen?


:stare: Be careful who you donate money to...

I can't decide if its hilarious or tragic. Both, I guess. Wow.

More drama from the Versus John Szczepaniak blog comments:

quote:

Hello, my name is Nick Livaditis (usually known as "NightWolve") and if I may, I would like to briefly share my experiences regarding John, to essentially lend myself as a character witness in the court of public opinion... I will remain professional given the sensitivities here which is quite a difficult task as I prefer to use profanity when it comes to something like John... I don't need to elaborate obviously.

So first off, I genuinely wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being motivated enough in wanting to bring a libelous criminal such as Mr. John Szczepaniak to justice!!!! You wouldn't be seeking justice just for yourselves, but for others as well, people such as myself who were also subjected to his particular style of vicious character-assassination/defamation... You are not the only victims in the wake of this man's path!!

I'll try to be brief. My story begins in 2009 when John used the platform of "Hardcore Gaming 101" to print a libelous attack article against me. He told 2 main falsehoods, the first of which really was the result of his laziness and incompetence, but the second one was a blatant lie and showed the true nature of his maturity/dishonesty/lack of integrity. John had falsely constructed a story that I was trying to stop someone called GeeMac32bit from working on a dubbing project for a videogame called "Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys." As a result, there are people ~5 years later that still believe this lie because of him even despite the eventual deletion of the article!

Now, as some kind of “journalist,” you’d think he would seek quotes from all parties involved, myself, GeeMac32bit, etc. to substantiate the accusations that he was making… But we’re talking about John here, he did NO such thing as he knew he was lying... When I learned of this, I contacted Kurt Kalata, the owner of the HG101 website and asked him to talk some sense into him – I disproved the first blatant falsehood and Kurt simply deleted the article in question and issued a mild apology. John, however, has never apologized and never will. It seems that other people have to apologize for him. Another staff member also apologized and asked that I do not represent HG101 by John’s “approach” to things…

A few years later, I briefly wrote about my encounter with John, just a few short sentences, 3 to 4, to mark the experience after the project in question was completed despite his harassment. Predictably, John had a meltdown after he saw these sentences… He unleashed vile, venomous, vicious verbal abuse against a project member of mine, he attacked everyone in the project, and he unleashed far more character-assassination than he had ever before. Morever, he threatened a libel lawsuit against us as well if my comments weren’t deleted!!!! That’s right… You see, only John Szczepaniak should get the privilege to trash people over the Internet. That’s how the world is supposed to work in his little "mind!" If someone responds in his same tone, and style, he threatens a lawsuit to shut them up! In short, he has a severe problem of not being able to take a taste of his own medicine.

Anyway, I think you get the idea of my experiences with John Szczepaniak. I wasn’t his first victim, and I certainly won’t be the last by this bully! You have my deepest sympathies for having had the unfortunate displeasure of meeting and doing business with someone like him… I hope you can eventually resolve this, however that is accomplished… I wish you all the luck in the world!!

Best regards,
NightWolve

The tagline for Monster Girl Quest is "Lose and Be Raped." It is a straight up explicit porno game. Great thing for a family man to share with his kids, if that man wants his kids taken away. That said, I'm sure that Monster Girl Quest will only be strengthened by his Poser character art and fully 3D environments. Not to mention the additions of walking and real time combat with trash mobs. Truly a thing worth $10k, which he got somehow.

How did a thing like this pass KS's scrutiny? I thought the scrubbed explicit stuff.
