This is so loving stupid, he could be Rembrandt and he'd still have traced that Jessica Biel picture.

Posting from the past: It's worse than that - he didn't trace anything but step #1 of his attempt to fake having drawn poo poo. He just straight up c/p'ed the original art into photoshop and manipulated it. I've made a billion retarded shops and gifs that way over the years and I know it when I see it.

Been watching Dimension W over my wife's shoulder. It's pretty good.

Erased served me well this season, was the only thing I bothered to actually sit down and watch. I'm getting cynical about a lot of anime recently, nothing catches my fancy anymore.

(My tastes could also be hosed, I unironically adore Star Driver and still want to buy Blu-Rays of it just to own it forever.)

Erased & Dimension W were excellent. I've enjoyed Gundam:IBO (though it's been inconsistent) as well, it's getting a second season so it's done well.

Looking forward to Macross Delta & Gundam Unicorn RE0096 starting up soon, along with Kabaneri Of The Iron Fortress & Kiznaiver.

I'm permanently 13 though.

I donno, I've been burned many times before thinking it's the end.

Even though derek's probably right about whatever the gently caress he's talking about (I don't think he's the dumb april fools joke type), I've learned to not under estimate the power of this cult. Even if Erin and half his team left, people will believe whatever story CIG comes up with, and the money will still flow... maybe a little slower tho. Also Chris Roberts will ride this poo poo train to the bitter end.

I could be wrong though, and I hope it ends soon, I spend way to much time following this poo poo for no reason.

Also check out Thunderbolt. 4 15-minute shorts. Lots of jazz & early UC mecha action in what I think is the highest-quality mecha animation I've seen.

4th one is out April 22, other 3 are around now.

E: I have a 1/60 G-System Kampfer sitting in my backlog. Love the suit.

The implication seems to me that a CIG-friendly goon is running meta-con and it hints (I think?) that Derek's (new?) source(s?) have been feeding him bogus intel to set up for a later big reveal. Which could itself be true. Or could be a reverse meta-con against SC believers in that subreddit. Or maybe I'm just misreading it altogether. I like the :tinfoil: possibilities of it for the "Who's Zoomin' Who?" :lol:S.

I'm still seeing too many signs of "everything under control, situation normal" behavior at CIG to expect a sudden extinction event. I suppose it's possible but I still think there are too many canaries singing happily in the coal mines to start talking about toxic death clouds exploding up from the hidden depths. I just don't think companies nearing the end of their cash keep doing the same thing until sudden predictable death hits. Where then are the evasive manuevers?

High profile departure rumors have swirled about awhile but I'm not sure the last time a true heavy duty player bolted the scene.
If it does happen well, that's canaries bugging out rather than suffocating. I guess I'm still waiting to see that before I set the Doomsday clock on minute closer to midnight... Derek HAS been fairly accurate on defections so I'm not calling bullcrap or anything. Agnosticism seems like the pragmatic course to me.

I feel like Derek hasn't gone full anime psychotic in the thread for a while and that this is a positive development for our little community. Well done, Dr Smart. You keep shouting incomprehensibly at those invisible men. Some day they'll hear you!
e: just to be clear it is possible that he's right and this thing is experiencing failure cascade right now, it's just really funny that he does this periodically and nothing ever happens, but his faith is always unshakeable that it's just around the corner. I'm glad for the internet's sake he doesn't write the blog posts anymore though, you could hear the tubes creaking under the weight of all those words.

All Glory unto the Stimpire. Give up your arms and legs and embrace the beautiful agony of electricity that doubles in pain every second.

I still find it exceedingly difficult to believe that Erin Roberts would jump in front of the camera to give a rundown on what's going on when he's aware that the company is going to be tits in the breeze in 96 hours. Say what you want about him "being in LA" but CIG has demonstrated no issue with airing a 10ftartists/producers/engineers/whoever in the past. As far as the general population is concerned there's no great panic to squash down and no reason to believe that things are other than as sluggish but otherwise drama free as they have ever been.

In point of fact if the recent spat of pant making GBS threads bell ringing hadn't taken place over the past few hours we'd still be chuckling quietly over Trace Commander and the usual nonsense that sprouts up on a Monday.

While I do enjoy said pants making GBS threads hyperbole it feels like the only wad being blown this week isn't going to be CIGs.
