Then I sold it back to Amazon. That book is horrendous.

So I'm assuming that there are living human beings that designed that thing to look... appealing, or... interesting... or something, and my first assumption at seeing it was that it was from Five Nights at Freddy's.

cheesetriangles posted:Can Giant Bomb recommend me a good long sci fi series to read? I know tons of long running fantasy series but can't think of any sci fi ones. What is the game of thrones of space? The Vorkosigan series by Lois McMaster Bujold. Very fun series, great protagonist and some rather interesting concepts. It also uses several different genres despite being SF. Decius fucked around with this message at 09:22 on Dec 22, 2014 |

You could say that the Playstation 4 has a...KNACK...for great games. But if you did say that you'd be awful. Just awful.

The existence of Knack just makes me depressed. It's a game that only exists because it could make a console launch, in any other circumstance no one would want it, it's not even a good kids' game. If it came out next year it would sell like 300 copies.

I guess I never thought about anyone registering a trademark for a meme, since that would ruin the whole purpose, but surely someone must have! I mean they made a grumpy cat movie. Edit: And it hosted RAW! Hakkesshu fucked around with this message at 10:13 on Dec 22, 2014 |

The Scribblenauts guys also got sued for putting in memes without permission. Trademarked memes are all around us http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-05-02-warner-bros-and-5th-cell-hit-by-keyboard-cat-nyan-cat-lawsuit

GB was using a copyrighted Nyan Cat for a year after getting bought. That is the real reason it had to come off the wall.

I just remembered that the nyan cat website had to use a different sprite for like a year because of a copyright by some dweeb. I love the internet.

The principal loving feature of Nyan Cat is a copyrighted object! It's so insane and it makes me want to dedicate my life to climbing up the chain at the Pop Tart company just so I can sue that loving asshat.
