If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
I always hated the extreme close-up gross out shots in Ren & Stimpy and the imitations in Spongebob too. Just like, gross.

I have a bunch of artist friends though and from the sound of it when you've been drawing for years basically everybody ends up drawing all kinds of perverted weird gross things once in awhile.

Speaking of Kickstarter and Penny Arcade, they raised almost half a million dollars to film a pilot of their steampunk prohibition robot comic for television and the results look euuuugh

It should've fit in the box but they quite literally never said the game would be inside it. Why would they give you a physical copy anyway, with the number of platforms you had to choose from? This pick and mix stuff was already a nightmare without that. Even the kickstarter says "A classic style game box", and makes no attempt to connect that with a physical copy. Physical copies aren't even one of the rewards outside of those USB things (Wasn't there one of those? I think there was, but I can't recall.) Hate on the game and the mismanagement all you want, but are you really going to just start making up things about how the game should magically have a copy of whichever version you purchased inside and be shrinkwrapped?

All that aside, a box that isn't pre-folded is also easier to keep in good condition when shipping. Stick to the things they actually did wrong, people. There's not a shortage of those.

I know. I didn't talk about that. I was pretty ok with the idea that people thought the manual should fit in the box. It was my first sentence. The rest of it is about people complaining that it was an empty box, of which there are many.

Nah, they got the game. Just someone at comcept or somewhere else along the chain of idiots forgot the whole physical rewards thing and people had been waiting forever for the higher tier items like the box and manual, which apparently wasn't measured, and other stuff that I've forgotten about that is even MORE delayed than that. If not just being swept under the rug.

John K is the guy who created Ren and Stimpy, he's pretty infamous for being a literal crazy person and also his insistence that the one true objectively correct way to draw cartoons is to make everything as grotesque and deformed as possible in the name of expressiveness. The guy who draws Penny Arcade got super into it after they got popular and has steadily regressed until now everyone he draws is is a hunchbacked bucktoothed freak floating in a void of desaturated colors and bloom lighting.

Thank you, I think.

I actually liked Automata, but it's one of those projects where I think they had about two or three good ideas and the rest is going to get stupid quick.

And the robots manage to look more human than the supposed humans do.

I'm trying to see how this is steampunk. Its just noir with robots.

I mean, they matched it to the comics perfectly, but that just doesn't look right when the cartoon robots are in a live-action setting.

Well I mean really, the artistic skill and effort is higher. It's just being put to work on a weird and off-putting style for no good reason.

Sticking to the older designs of the characters with the skill of today would look a lot better than it ever did.

Has anyone else been getting spammy emails from BackerClub trying to get you to sign up for their thing?

They offered to "waive their $10/month fee", but I can't figure out the appeal of their service to begin with. You sign up to get pitches from questionably-meaningful Kickstarters, and once in a while you might get a cheap pack-in on top of your regular pledge reward? That's only if you back any given project, though, and I can't imagine you'd get anything extra at the low-pledge tiers. Someone was paying them a premium for that? From what I've been able to see on their website without actually signing up, they should probably have been called SuckerClub instead.

That seems like a pretty normal toilet seat bidet tho? Is it bad because it's a kickstarter for a thing that you've been able to buy for years? http://www.homedepot.com/p/TOTO-C100-Electric-Bidet-Seat-for-Round-Toilet-in-Cotton-White-sw2033-01/206794799

Sure, you can get one with all the same features for less from existing companies and have it within a week, but I bet it doesn't come with a bidet themed t-shirt.
