cringy "hahahaha homosexuals" LP of FFVIII, right?

No, that was some other person who was Leo-something or other. I think the way it went was: They hated the original LP, asked for it to be taken down, started another one with less of that kind of humor, promptly quit after a few updates, and then never bothered to post again.

i think azure horizon was the one who made a good LP of one of the Breath of Fire games that had a big thread and lots of fanart, which lead to some goons with very good brains complaining that the LP shouldn't have been purged from the archive because you have to separate art from the artist :qq:

Vic is saying that he's giving his blessing to JYB but also like literally it's not any of his place to say and he's just twisting the narrative to make it look like he's willingly stepping down.

If one wanted to be generous you could take that as awareness on his part that his fanbase might decide to be assholes to Johnny for replacing him and wanting to avoid that. I don't really have such generosity though since it seems like he always wants to have the last word on a subject.

Holy poo poo. I remember this moment. The movie came out at around the same time that I started practicing for my scholarship exams for music school. The movie theater which I frequented was sorta weird in that most theaters/cinemas around the city had at least 2 to 3 screens, whereas this one it was just one screen/auditorium/whachamacallit, so it was common to alternate movies between days/schedules/what-have-you. I remember because in the LatAm dub instead of saying "Soy un Sapo", the voice actor just said "Sapo :(" with the despondent level up to 11, and everyone in the loving theater busted their sides laughing.

Because since the movie made it here on July instead of June (relatively quick, but still like 2 months after it originally came out in the US I think), they were doing a sorta "1 ticket, stay for 2 films" deal, which they always did during the three big school breaks, using a recent premiere and either a "last year or so but because lol Mexico never got this when it first came out"-film or a somewhat older film. In that same theater I saw Space Jam and Singles with my first girlfriend when the former first premiered here, and I remembered the Grunge romcom because it was also one of the last dates we went to watch again (this time at the local cineteca) before she moved to SoCal on May '97.

Why do I remember that Mighty Morphin' outing so well?

Vic wasn't replaced by JYV, they fired Vic because he's a sexual predator and then they hired someone else to fill the position. Saying he was replaced makes it sound like they were deciding between the person who had the job and a new candidate. It was between JYV and everyone on earth who wasn't Vic.

The legend is it was an improv, too. Johnny was legit disappointed he was getting a frog while everybody else was getting bears and wolves and stuff.

Vic is coming to my local con. I am trying to do something about it. I emailed a bunch of information to reporters in the area. This is Montgomery Sonocon, next weekend the 14th and 15th

I told the organizers what I thought about it but they are deleting all dissent.

Any other ideas? Seriously considering standing out there with a picket so parents bringing their kids in know about it. Would anyone be up for a goon meet?

Man, you could've just gone with the "finally reached the toilet after painting my pants feces-brown-and-green" analogy.

Imagine appealing fees when you've got the sword of 142oclese inching ever closer to your neck

At this point, considering how much of a haircut the judge gave the defendants requested fees, he's basically agreeing with the defendants that they weren't rewarded enough, isn't he? He was warned this would happen.

Yes.


Basically at this point Vic has double downed twice on this. The mediation was one point where it was like "OMG please get out before you hurt yourself." and then the fees were basically like "Look, go away kid before this gets very painful."

It's a huge gamble too cause I wouldn't judge Chipp to be particularly on the moving defendants side. You could get someone worse even if you win on appeal.

Operation complete.
The haircut Chipp took to the fees the defendants requested and the complete non-existence of sanctions was a travesty of justice anyway. I understand that the defendants can counter-appeal now to get those restored at the minimum?

they can't introduce evidence on an appeal. an appeal is based off of what the judge had to work with in applying the law to the facts of the case, if you screwed up demonstrating any facts in a case you instigated then that's on you
