I'm still having trouble coming to terms with the fact that MegaTokyo is still a thing, first of all, but also that it's a thing with a significant enough fanbase to pull down $300k.

Zybourne Clock posted:Give me a dollar, and I'll write you a word. Tolstoy's War and Peace has a word count of approximately 600,000 and spans about 1500 pages. This guy wants a hundred thousand dollars in total, so he's either going to spend twenty years trying to place all of his submitted words in a vaguely coherent order, write a book that dwarfs even the longest novels in word count, or the resulting word mash will simply suck and not really be readable in any kind of way. The trolling opportunities for this are literally limitless.

Electric Bugaloo posted:I could justify a "pay me to get in shape while I make a series about it or a bunch of workout tapes" project if the end result were something entertaining or useful. This guy's got absolutely no charisma or screen presence or wit or charm or comic sensibility or good articulation or anything that would remotely make him tolerable to watch on film. Yeah, there's just nothing there that should interest anybody enough to fork over cash money. Now, if it was boogie2988...

Just ditch the whole "nuclear war" angle and instead rewrite it so that Air Force One accidentally crashes into the prison ship, forcing the military to send in a disgraced former soldier to rescue the President.

I love stuff like this, but the problem I have specifically with Kung Fury is that it's just so unfocused, the trailer starts off ironically funny and then it descends into: -CYBERPUNK!!! -KUNG FU!!! -HITLER!!! -VIKINGS!!! -NORSE GODS!!! -DINOSAURS!!! As if running down the checklist of "Cool Things" will guarantee it ends up being a movie that everybody has to see. Should've just stuck with the crazy cyberpunk kung fu guy.

Rickycat posted:I was introduced to steampunk through Thief/Thief 2. I thought it was so cool and a unique idea. Then a few years later I went on the internet and found all of the awkward steampunk disasters and horrible people that you can smell through your monitor. Much like anything pure and good, the internet quickly takes hold of it and runs it straight into the ground. The best pre-fad vision of steampunk is William Gibson/Bruce Sterling's The Difference Engine.

steinrokkan posted:b) Public outrage will convince the group to abandon the project, or will paint its members as bullies abusing the benevolence of OC's representatives by defacing public property. Considering that the entire purpose of the project is to generate outrage, I doubt this would work. The smartest thing they could would be to suggest they'd be willing to get rid of the Ten Commandments monument, then use the resulting public outcry/outrage to simultaneously justify them keeping the Ten Commandments monument and shifting attention away from the satanic monument.

Urban Dictionary suggests that it's a slang term for cocaine.

A Fancy 400 lbs posted:That's terrible even by "really bad amateur anime" standards. It's at the low end of even DeviantArt quality. I've seen some really great art on DevianArt, this...is just about as bad as it gets. Like, this guy picked up one of those horrible "Start Drawing Anime Girls TODAY!" books from a bookstore, read it for a few hours, and then drew those characters. And this "game" is all art to begin with. I'd be embarrassed to show those off to my friends, much less to actually use them to ask for money.

AKA Pseudonym posted:I don't think "wants to play cool video games" is particularly niche. Loads of people like to simulate the experience of being a WWII soldier or whatever. Something that brings them closer to the actual experience (without all the genuinely nasty bits) ought to have fairly widespread appeal I imagine. I think it's partly the fact that Oculus is a box you strap to your face that makes it niche [at least for the time being].

Oh look, it's an anime-inspired visual novel game! On the surface, it doesn't look particular bad, it's got semi-decent art and the post-apocalyptic setting is at least an interesting wrinkle. But then you get to this: Yep, that's the main character's sister.
