All Glory unto the Stimpire. Give up your arms and legs and embrace the beautiful agony of electricity that doubles in pain every second.

While sliding home in my car today, thank you light showers, I recalled a conversation I had with a friend some years back over infomercial stuff selling garbage novelty poo poo and at what point you start a quick buck scam and it accidentally turns into a business. The idea of a dodgy warehouse with someone sitting at a plywood desk handling calls to late night television shopping channels and your manufacturers in China transitions into semi permanent office buildings and oh poo poo it's Jan's birthday someone get a card.

I always figured if you somehow ended up bringing in reliable money on people finding some kind of surprising use for your 12 in 1 steak knife set there would be a shift in your outlook and you would just end up running a business.

Maybe the reality is that you get the office and the birthday parties but the scam never ends. In your mind you're still renting the same warehouse from behind three shell companies and you've got the same gobag full of cash sitting in the safe with the passports.

I think it would depend on the individual concerned. Some people will end up running a business and getting Jan that card. Others are waiting for the sound of aproaching sirens in a state of paranoia with the gobag ready and waiting in the afore mentioned safe. Where exactly Croberts is on this spectrum is anybodys guess.

Meahwhile over at Section 2.4





When the lawsuit was originally filed, I said I wanted to see the whole GLA, because I thought CrySkadden looked like they were burying the lede a bit. And I think this is it.

While section 2.1.2's use of "exclusively" could be ambiguous, section 2.4 blows that all out of the water. Taking out the unnecessary words makes the section read: "During the Term of the License... and for a period of two years thereafter, Licensee, its principals, and Affiliates shall not directly or indirectly engage in the business of.... licensing (directly or indirectly) any game engine... which compete with CryEngine." Lumberyard clearly competes with CryEngine. RSI/CIG/Whatever are all affiliates. Oh boy!

Unless CIG/RSI can prove up a material breach of the agreement by CryTek, they are TOAST! I suspect CrySkadden didn't focus on section 2.4 to rope-a-dope Croberts into doing exactly what he did--file a weak-rear end MtD.

I just want to say one thing to this picture. I did visit Twin Bros not long ago looking to become the next tickle porn Star because let’s be honest, that’s how you break into gaming. And those are actually my cars parked there. I often travel in multiple super expensive vehicles.

I mean, what the gently caress is the producer of a chinese financed picture staring samuel l jackson about the world turning upside down including some digital effects by some people working in the games industry in germany and LA that cost $120m to make opening a loving bounce house business with a single employee

Dis is how bidnis is conducted round dese hear parts, boy.

Also I love his business doubling in worth every year since 2011. I wonder what happened in 2011 that could cause such a sudden upturn! It was probably people deciding he’s the best Hollywood guy for law or business there is. :allears:
