  1. It's just annoying how long and drawn-out these things can be. I don't even think Machinima has given a thought to Ross this whole time, they've just been ignoring the problem until they 'get around to it.'

     

    So I guess you can chuckle in the fact that Machinima is the equivalent to irresponsible teenagers.

  2. Eh I wasn't responding with hostile intentions. I like BTG, he's a good guy. Plus I do agree with him somewhat in that it got really out of hand at times. At least now it's generally contained to it's respective thread.

  3. Negative.

    There can be no retreat.

    NO RETREAT!

    NO STEPPING BACK.

    NO STEPPING FORWARD and no defeating Reaper forces.

     

    But first sign of any trouble, fck em all!

     

    DAMN IT!

    Negative.

    No defeating the Reapers.

    NO DEFEATING THE REAPERS!

    INNOCENT PEOPLE DIE.

     

    And if they don't?

     

    SAY AGAIN?

    Exactly.

  4. Wow I am so, so sorry, dude. Really. I mean that SUCKS...especially the friend part. I've had experiences with that myself, not necessarily with girls, but you get what I mean.

  5. If it makes you feel any better, I'm probably shorter than you.

     

    EDIT: Oh, I didn't read your 5'6 post. So I'm a little taller than you...I'm stupid.

     

    Go Chuck.

  6. Why can't she take these characters to their destinies?

     

    Is it because Hasbro is a suck?

    I think that's why.

     

    She said she had to leave the MLP project. I don't remember why that was, though.

     

    I redirect you to 'Because Hasbro is a suck.' 100% positive.

  7. That feel when you actually post a comment on Youtube and manage to make top comment. A sense of pride wells within you that you just can't describe...and then you check your email inbox and realize you're getting replied to by every jagoff under the Youtube sun.

     

    The price you pay to be famous.

  8. (i.e. "NOOOOOOOO! What, I was just answering her question."

     

    I actually chuckled at that. But then, I still occasionally laugh at new Spongebob, too, so I dunno.

     

    Half-rant half-praising with a lot of rambling.

     

    You know, one time I went on Lauren Faust's Wikipedia page and went to look at her jobs on MLP during and post Season 1. I knew she got pretty screwed once MLP began to catch on but jesus, look at this.

     

    Season 1: creator, developer, executive producer, writer, storyboard artist, character designer, creative director

    Season 2: consulting producer

     

    And I'm assuming that's still her job at present, but God. I just don't understand it, Lauren was a very very good reason why MLP did as well as it had. Then they proceeded to take away all of her power for...some reason. Yeah, that's a good strategy.

     

    "What's that? You made our show incredibly popular even outside our target market? That's great! Here, have a job that takes away every bit of creative control you used to possess!"

     

    I liked season 2 and most of season 3 (Besides rushed Discord) but I will admit that I agree on both sides here. I think MLP is actually still keeping up with what made it good, but I also think that Hasbro is really just milking this series for all it's worth, which is a proven BAD business tactic. And I still think a company will finally get that when something catches on like MLP, but I have been proven wrong when it comes to Hasbro. The show is still great (in my opinion) but I think that eventually (sooner than they should, anyway) people won't care anymore. Which is a shame.

     

  9. But what is the hold up? is Ross waiting on machinima for information or are they at a disagreement about something or is Ross in violation of the license agreement? I don't know anything about the agreements machinima enforces on publishers but it seems that they would want to try to resolve it in a timely manner. Unless they just deem themselves too big to care about what others think. Like um, uh, what's that company's name. oh, it's on the tip of my tongue. oh yeah, Microsoft!

    What's probably happening is Ross trying to get in contact with them, to which Machinima repeatedly gives him a shit sandwich with a card that says 'We'll get back to you.'

     

    Honestly, regardless of the fact that Machinima is a company, you'd think a company centered around a concept that only geeky videogame fans would ever want to participate in - and in fact, most of the videos they've published are in the Source engine - would go the Valve route in not sucking a pair of big meaty balls.

  10. Really interesting article about the author's (albeit, realistic) hopes for the future of gaming.

     

    What I find especially funny is his prediction that Microsoft and Sony's business plans will effectively run GameStop out of business for switching from retail to digital, and that GameStop will bitch and moan all the way - kind of like the gaming fanbase itself. It's funny because GameStop has been the bane of retail gaming's existence for a long time and now, when they go out, they'll finally be in agreement with the consumers.

     

    But, of course, this is all speculation.
