My iPhone case came with a free stand. It's a simple piece of plastic that folds up to support the phone. You can get something like that for dirt cheap with the added benefit of not looking like a loving moron.

8. Petting Beaver (Beaver Petting a Beaver)

Those aren't even clever! They're not puns, they're not jokes, they're just pictures of beavers that look like they've been cobbled together in MS Paint! Come on, man! You're going to have to shell out for at least one Adobe product if you want to get into design!

Even without the nebulous legal ground of using rage faces without permission, even the use of the Pokemon font and the Pokeball imagery alone is enough to justify a lawsuit from Nintendo, even if you didn't outright copy their game.

The drama is actually not related to Eternal Darkness, which is considered to be a fantastic game. The drama you want to be looking at revolves around the studio's latest two games, X-Men Destiny and Too Human, the latter of which was Dyack's pet project.

Both these games were loving awful.
