Always respect the author's will



By Watching the above video you are agreeing  with the following terms and conditions:

1)You, the watcher, agrees to pay a stipend to the creator of 100$(U.S.) payable to the Paypal account of the author.

2) You, the watcher, agree to only ever speak regarding this video in positive terms, while also standing on one(1) leg.

In case of disagreement with any of the points I make, regardless if it is done on one leg, you agree to remove one(1) of your toes, should you have any toes.

In case of agreement while failing to jump on one leg, you agree to remove one(1) of your fingers, should there be any to.

3) You shall deliver to me any firstborn children, male or female, that you happen to have. To deliver them, you should build a barge out of oak, and seal it with your own earwax. You shall use the barge to sail to the Island of Puerto Rico, where said baby  shall be delivered, alive, to my doorstep. The boys shall be raised as freaks and mutants in my secret sewers. The girls shall be sacrificed to Snarko, the Faceticious Dragon.

4) This video is only meant to be watched in Countries with Z in their name, by people named either Eartha or McTalion


5) That every morning that you wake up and do not recall dreaming that you were ravaged by me, you shall whip yourself 400 lashes while reciting the theme from Extreme Dinosaurs. This includes non song vocalizations like "let's fossilize them".





If you fail to follow any of the terms, and still watch all or part of the video, you are depriving me of my fairly earned money and...babies. It's robbing. Please turn yourself to the authorities, and should they refuse to arrest you, rob something so they have something to arrest you over. Ok? Ok.

Not an April Fools Joke: Fight against the DMCA #WTFU


To be fair, I wanted the "togeeeeether!" song...
Because we're all in this together

So apparently the copyright office has opened a 24 hour window to ask people what they thought about the DMCA.  That was yesterday.

 You know I'm very passionate about copyright issues and I'm   in favor of Where's the Fair Use. And the DMCA is bad, and a great part of the reason why  sites on Youtube have to be so hard on Copyright, because basically this law makes Youtube as guilty of copyright infringement as the uploader of full episodes of a show.


So, what, I have a blog that at least some folks watch, and besides participating on my own, I also invite you to.


Please,watch Doug Walker's video about the subject, and tell these bastards Best Geek Ever sent you.


What do you remember of the year 2000? I remember watching Scary Movie and regretting it,  Shouting to Papa Roach on the radiom, and joining an online forume called Scruffy Dragon. Despite what the name might suggest, it was a forum dedicated to M.U.G.E.N. projects. Using a borderline stolen fighting game engine, this  rag tag group of fans where working on a great endeavor: Marvel vs DC.  By coopting the Capcom Sprites for Marvel characters, half of the animation job seems to have been done for them. But to get the DC, other, or the same, sprites had to be altered, in a process called "Frankenspriting." The project continued, with no end in sight.  Years passed. 2 years. 5 years. 10 years. The project moved steadilly, and with ever ambitious choices for it, and terms like "phases" thrown in for good measure. I'd have waited forever for  such a game, and seems I might as well wait forever. I'd read about it, download the stages, but I can't say I'd played Marvel vs DC.

Last year I went on la little  bit about Friendship Is Fighting, the  fan game that carries on into the bizarre phenomenom that  has enraptured thousands of grown ass men to   a show for girls about ponies. Including me, I guess.  Since then  a small beta test has leaked. This also would sometimes happen at Scruffydragons, and the drama would quickly escalate into long threads filled with accusations.But I can say I played FiF, if only against a stationary player 2.

So, here's this: I want to tip my hat to Mane 6, for not taking 10 years to make a fangame. It is to your credit that this game, in the time it's taken, is already ridiculously good. The presentation is great and consitent, the graphics are beautiful and the animations are fluid, and I suspect your levels of dedication are key to this. I don't know how you that last part, though I suspect tracing of actual animations. If a group of dedicated people can get together to create soimething like this, who knows what else could be done?

This is what I had written before I found out Hasbro sent cease and desist orders to Mane 6. I guess, in a way, we all knew this was one of the possibilities. I would recomend continued, secret work on it, followed by a leak.
