Mr. Pumroy posted:I hope that, somewhere down the line, the reference to Bernie Lomax from Weekend at Bernies pays off with a new planet that uses Lomax as its contracted name. So it'd be Land of M____ and X____ I'm hoping for someone moving like Bernie.

Land of Marimbas and Xylophones. You know how John's associated with the piano, Rose with the violin, etc.? Jake is all about idiophones.

I watched Weekend at Bernies 2 as a kid and thought throughout the whole movie that Bernie was played by Burt Reynolds because he was the only man I knew in Hollywood who had facial hair and I thought that everyone in every movie who had facial hair was Burt Reynolds. Like, Hollywood was only allowed to have one guy with a mustache at a time. And Burt inherited his role as Hollywood's sole mustache from previous mustached star, Tom Selleck.

Eox posted:Although one possible issue might be that this session can't scratch, because Jade left the Beat Mesa behind. They only get one shot. Well, she took both Dave's planet and Skaia with her, so she should have the Beat Mesa somewhere. It's probably a limited-use item, though, since, under normal circumstances, you'd never be able to use it a second time.

She took the battlefield, not the entirety of Skaia. She left the Beat Mesa behind, we saw it still ascending into Skaia while she was getting the fourth wall ready.

Don't know if it's been mentioned in this thread yet, but saw a chain of tumblr links about it: Lexxy is currently campaigning a petition against Gaia Online for unlawfully plagarizing Homestuck in the form of purchasable in-game items that are near-exact copies of the kids' logos and the trolls' horn designs. If you are/were a player of Gaia Online and feel strongly about it, you can find the petition on their forums here. CidGregor fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Nov 20, 2011 |

As I was doing other things, thinking about how great Jake is, I had a bit of a horrifying thought. "Gee willickers, that Jake chap's hobbies and to a lesser degree personality almost resemble some sort of mish mash of John and Vriskaaaaaaauuuuugggggh  "The horror is not based on any belief that this is more than coincidence. No, it's about what the fans who come to the same realization will do with it

Hmmmm, I'm actually a little curious how this is going to go. On one hand, Homestuck fans tore down Newgrounds in under fifteen minutes. On the other hand, Gaia is a shambling monstrosity of a forum that averages a million posts a day, most of them presumably terrible.

Eh, I'm not sure it'll really go anywhere. They could just claim it's a parody and that's that, unless they're using RMT for those items. Then they may be sue-able. We need an attorney in this thread, stat.

Mr_Ham97 posted:Eh, I'm not sure it'll really go anywhere. They could just claim it's a parody and that's that, unless they're using RMT for those items. Then they may be sue-able. IANAL yet, but I am in law school and have taken Copyrights. This is not qualified legal advice, and should not be taken as a substitute for consultation with an actual qualified attorney who specializes in this field. As far as the bubbles go, the items in question are not parody, because they are not a commentary on the original work. Nor would they be considered "transformative" such that they would be considered a fair use. Whether the original works qualify as sufficiently original is a jury question, but one I'd expect Hussie to win, particularly because of the reproduction of the exact colors and the existence of the icons as a set. I think that he has a valid prima facie case, and that fair use does not apply (commercial use, non-transformative, the substance of the offending item is entirely composed of protected expression). However, I do wonder about whether a jury would be sympathetic; I don't have a great sense for how juries tend to break in this sort of case. The horns are a tougher case, because I'm not sure that an element of a character taken in isolation is sufficiently delineated to qualify as copyrightable.

If they sold Mario's hat with the trademark M on it it's sue-able. Most likely twelve candy-corn horns in the identical shape of twelve characters from the same comic they've already ripped off counts too.

What is this thing in Jake's modus that takes up so much space, I wonder? Also, this modus looks fun. ALSO UPDATE. VVVVV: No, that's much smaller. Look a little more carefully. Tollymain fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Nov 20, 2011 |

Right, but "orangish gradient horns" is less distinctive than Mario's hat, and there were differences in the horns as compared to the trolls', while the bubbles were straight-up copying. I don't think Hussie has a copyright on all orangish gradient horns.

Because he said that he didn't want to be caught with his pants down, I'm guessing it's the world's biggest belt. Seriously though, maybe it's the planets that Jade had from the pre-scratch session and she gave them to Jake for some reason?
