fishmech posted:So the guy who made a bad game got so upset it didn't get a good review, he's going to try to sue? Or is the guy trying to sue just a fan of the game? Basically, the developer Digital Homicide, made a poorly put together game. Jim Sterling did a first impressions video, which the dev mistook for an actual review and felt that it didn't constitute fair use because Sterling didn't talk about any of the positives in the video so they made a "Review the Reviewer" video where they made personal attacks in text over Sterlings first video. Sterling then made a 2nd video pretty much watching and laughing at that video, which then was followed with his channel being hit with a copyright strike (not a Content ID) on YouTube which you only get three of before YouTube shuts down your channel. Eventually it was reversed because YouTube realized how dumb it was and that it was just a guy abusing their system. Sterling then did a few more first impression videos on the 4 other games released within the same year by the two man development team. This then got more interesting when he found and reported on how DH had been part of a supposed "vote for us on Greenlight and we'll give you a free game code" ring, and making alt accounts on Steam & Greenlight to post their games to so people didn't know it was their game. One such example was them using the name of a Polish game studio, which was proved, and said Polish studio said they'll likely press charges for whatever law is applicable there. DH kept cranking out games, then had an interview with Sterling over Skype where they argued about stuff for 2 hours and it was amazing. http://www.thejimquisition.com/special-podcast-jim-sterling-and-digital-homicide-hash-it-out/ A while after an anonymous tumbler page posted Sterlings IRL name, address etc. saying that Sterling was stiffling indie developers and that one day he's going to get his comeuppance. It was then removed because, you know, that's loving creepy. They also accused Sterling's t-shirts of copyright infringement because they were using images in parody (eg. Twitter's bird logo dressed up as Snake from Metal Gear saying "#FucKonami"). Now after like two years of this back and forth DH are suing Sterling for defamation, and harassment and are trying to get other people to pay for their lawyers via crowdfunding.

SciFiDownBeat posted:jim sterling is a dumbo tbh he's dumb but he's also right; the main problem is that his joke repertoire consists of "pretending nothing is wrong with the game" and "getting bored and talking about something else because the video is way longer than it should be" which isn't as funny as he thinks it is

If nothing else, the bullshit rebreather thing gave me a reason to look up how rebreathers work on wiki, and it's some really cool tech that has been around for a surprisingly long time.

Holy Moley. Considering the 1 euro he has raised so far I'm thinking there isn't as much of a market for vagina yeast beer as you would think. I would have at least expected $2 https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/first-vaginal-beer-bottled-instinct#/story anyways enjoy the creepy loving video.

When people pointed out that there were a bunch more youtube videos about Digital Homicide's game but they'd only targeted this one youtube channel they responded by saying that his 'review' hadn't been fair therefore it wasn't protected under Fair Use therefore it was copyright infringement. They're not quite right in the brain department.

I've always loved that Kickstarter requires you to fill out the risks and challenges section, because I always scroll down to them immediately. Nine times out of ten, they say some variation of "we expect nothing bad at all to happen because we are very good  "From the rebreather IGG: quote:Risks and Challenges This tells me almost nothing. ce gars has a new favorite as of 06:06 on Mar 30, 2016 |

Stevie's Gourmet Grilled Cheese Restaurantquote:I've been in the restaurant business for 26yrs and in just 2yrs I lost the family business and my 21yr old daughter. I would like to open a gourmet grilled cheese place in her name. There are currently none in this area and is a growing trend. I have the cooking and business skills to make this a success. Thank you for your support Asking $30,000 and only offering two pledge levels: $50 gets you a 'thanks' email and $1000 gets you free grilled cheese for the life of the restaurant. You know what you have to do, goons. edit - Have some   from a hosed-up army veteranThe River Styx quote:The story follows the struggle to understand right and wrong, real and unreal; in politics and friendship—while culminating in an exploration of our perplexing nature in which we lack true understanding of basic reality. The theme itself, organically developed, is ostensibly very similar to Absurdism and pataphysics. At its core the book can be described as 1984 meets Dante’s Inferno, meets Don Quixote. He's asking $20,000 to?? Write a book, I think? There's a 'sample' that seems to be as long as a novella that I'm not going to read but you should really read the 'Risks and Challenges' section if you don't read anything else. And some more garbage: Is it a dog tag? A knife? Yes! It's both and it costs $145 for some reason. $5000 for some guy to buy a Darth Vader costume and shoot a 'fan film'. He just needs to find 'a nice, open park area with green grass' to film in. It certainly takes me back to all those iconic Star Wars scenes that took place on rolling, green hills. Oh no, wait, that was Sound of Music  A graphic novel about Hitler

It's always lupus. Here's an individual that wants to open a cosplay store in Florida. Not the most awful, but look at the backer tiers and risks! Don't worry about finding a building though, they've already found a "relater." https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/226299189/kikkies-house-of-cosplay?ref=category_newest

I like how it's basically just "pay for me to start a small business" with no real incentive for backers. Then again I guess that's what doobie was doing and goons gave him thousands of dollars.

You could probably make a business on importing and then direct mailing officially licensed stuff from Japan. I doubt a storefront would do too well.
