Does anybody have access to the CAD parody comics from which my avatar comes from?

You Are A Elf posted:HOLY. Jesus Christ, the first episode is bad, but they somehow get even worse:  The later episodes had a trilogy that ripped off Star Wars (because nerds), with Jack Thompson as Darth Vader and Hillary Clinton as the emperor, whose evil scheme was to take down video games by putting a billboard saying "VIDEO GAMES ARE BAD" in some town in the middle of nowhere. They tried to cram every key plot point into a total of 15 minutes, so it makes no sense on top of looking like a slightly more polished version of something a 14 year old would make in flash.  Tim Buckley seemed to be weirdly obsessed with Jack Thompson to a creepy degree, even though he was (or was about to be) disbarred by the time this cartoon came out.

The animation studio that produced CAD The Series also makes Least I Could Do, which also had an animated pilot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3eZY2_Di1c Somehow, nobody picked this for a full series.

I remember being aware of LICD from the original buckley mock threads, but never actually saw it until now. this main character is pretty much indistinguishable from CAD's main character except he runs a company

Speaking of terrible old game videos, how long as it been since your daily dose of gaming goodness? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lURWtVhLKN8 In spite of the beyond-abysmal production values, it did bring these guys some notoriety (there wasn't much else in 2005), and they may have been able to ride this to a life on easy street as they started covering events and struck a deal with MTV to produce content. Then, infamously, the main presenter stalked some girl and threatened to shoot up her university after she blew him off (right after the Virginia Tech massacre), which caused everyone to run away screaming from anything he was remotely associated with. There's a whole Down the Rabbit Hole episode about this bizarre show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0uWTKomkaY The_Franz fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Apr 8, 2023 |

The_Franz posted:Tim Buckley seemed to be weirdly obsessed with Jack Thompson to a creepy degree, even though he was (or was about to be) disbarred by the time this cartoon came out. Penny Arcade was too. For a while, Gabe was one of the shittiest dudes on the internet, one of the pioneers of using your audience to brigade people you don't like, with Jack Thompson being one of the early targets so it spread to the wider video-gane-comicsosphere. Jack Thompson didn't have much actual sway IRL, but his anti-video game/'video games cause violence' stance infuriated Gabe and he kinda hyper-fixated on 'how DARE Jack Thompson not appreciate video games as ART!!!' with all his fans joining gleefully in the bandwagon. Jack Thompson wasn't the only one, it eventually just became him going after anyone who disagreed with him in anything, from his dickwolves comic to 30 Rock. He's since stopped and sorta kinda apologized for it, mostly because they were getting complaints from fans about how intense Gabe was getting (so basically Robert/Kiko made him do it because it was affecting their money), saying it was some maladjusted behavior from being bullied as a kid and responding harder in turn. They run a children's charity so it's hard to go after the guy too much for it. So no one really brings it up, but... he was a real sunnuvabitch bitch for a while there.

This is loving crazy… I was just thinking about crap the other day and couldn’t find it (I think it was originally on Google Video) so thanks for that. IIRC they ended up doing some kind of show on MTV2 that I also can’t find.

Child's Play itself has more to do with Khoo watering that seed. Iirc the PA guys wanted to donate GameCubes or something in the children's ward and leave it at that. Dude probably saw it as a great opportunity to build brand trust, industry partners, mainstream buy-in, and a nice tax write-off.

GWIW I get the feeling that Tycho sucks poo poo too. Just is more muted and less impulsive. He had a post a while back about his kid being assessed at school because he would do poo poo like talk to the soap dispenser and you could tell he was very much in a concerned space that intersected "how the gently caress can i even help here", "oh God is this my fault/are my genes that hosed", and "please be ok please be ok". Not too long ago he posted some vitriol about his kid being labelled "Twice Exceptional" . It sounds by his account that the SPS completely dropped the ball on the implementation of the kids education plan, outright not providing services (with a dash of him not realizing that the label doesn't impart special classes and demeaning the kids peers, but whatevs). I think anyone else with his resources would consider, at the minimum, a lawsuit or similar escalation given how badly the school hosed up, but Tych apparently prefers to be angry at the dumb schools and (ironically) the use of language to complicate things or something.School Nickname posted:Makes you wonder why he left.

Always wondered how you could prove if someone is a real Christian. Slap one across the face. If they complain about it "Hey, what did Jesus say about turning the other cheek! Now, brace yourself for the backhand!"

Same way you'd test most who claim to belong in a group or ideology: see how they act and speak when they think no one's watching. ...what if Tim Buckley didn't actually play all that many games, and just collected them to look at the pretty box art?

PA had a big rant about counterstrike when CS:Source came out. Gabe was playing badly against everyone that had never stopped playing counterstrike. He took it badly and the rant was mostly "sorry I'm not poor enough to be stuck playing the same game on the same pc for X years" Can't find it on their website though. Weird!
