So I bet you're sittin' around wondering, what would the PowerPuff Girls look like, if they were older? Yes, the toyetic Galaxy Girls are designed by Lauren McCracken, wife of Craig McCracken, creator of PowerPuff.

Understanding Rafferty's Argot: "Adam Simon"

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:57:45 GMT

Adam Simon: an SF amateur with aspirations of being professional, but who doesn't quite know how to "play the game" on how big-time stuff is sold, or how to add mass-market appeal. "Hey, I know this Delgo is obviously a labor of love, but it looks like something Adam Simon would've made." An Adam Simon's projects are missing a broader connection that would connect with mundane people. The opposite of Pixar.

Inspired by Adam Simon, a SF/horror movie writer who played a self-deprecating version of himself in the movie The Player, where he spends more time talking about the sciency-fictiony aspects of his movie pitch, instead of the salability.

ZOMG, another post!

( New Mechwarrior Game Faces Legal Threat ... )

Of course, I would've called the article, "Mechwarrior Brings Back Ripoffs, Hopes They Can Get Away With It."

This is even more ironic because Jordan Weisman and co. sued Hasbro way back in 1992 or so, accusing ExoSquad of being a ripoff of Mechwarrior. FASA lost.

The RPG Design Notes drinking game:
(1) Designer mentions Gary Gygax: take a drink.
(2) Designer mentions Dogs in the Vineyard: take a drink.
(3) Designer treads out concepts we already know, like how levels can be bad: take a drink.
(4) Designer writes a long empty article full of sound and fury and signifying nothing: smash bottle over designer's head.
