This was posted in a forum topic about video game piracy, but I think it applies to other things. I’m posting it here because I thought it was interesting; I don’t necessarily agree with it.

“…Game developers are entertainers, or “artists” if they are very good… Entertainment and art are not a commodities. They are not something that is consumed and hence destroyed, nor are they vital for life. They are not like food nor shelter.

So naturally, it’s somewhat risky to rely on entertainment as your sole means of making money. People today are not that keen to pay for such trivial matters, especially if they don’t know how entertaining you’re going to be. Plus, is it reasonable to expect people to want to pay? Just because you do something amusing, doesn’t mean you have a right to profit. Nobody asked you to make games.”

What are your thoughts?

I think I might have a shotacon
No, you don’t.

I’m terrible at family things. I choose to keep myself as far from them as possible. I think it’s just that point in my life; I’ve not much to say.

To all of you, happy holidays. Don’t be afraid to be happy.

Posting art because I feel guilty everytime I don’t.

Also playing with my phone’s camera. Originally I concluded the camera sucked. I have proven myself otherwise:

I ran across this description for an MMORPG that’s just started open Beta. The name of the game is Lunetia. Read carefully:

Lunentia not only possesses the basic online game elements, but also features some special systems which will attract the female gamers’ eyeballs. That is, attacking monsters will appear in front of male players, but won’t appear in front of female players. So, when starting to play Lunentia, female players won’t get scared too much due to monster attacks. In addition, through the couple system, male players who are willing to take care of female players can share experience points and abilities with their partner and protect female players when fighting monsters, completing quests and leveling up together.

Does she get extra exp for making him a sammich?

Cloud x Terra: Y/N?
Dissidia is in your minds, making you think of doujin ideas.

Also: Whoever is voicing Terra/Tina:
Incredibly adorable - good job!!!
(Now I’m bound to be disapointed by the English version…)

Back to lurking youtube watching Dissidia videos…

So you know I’m not dead…

Frost/Nixon. ****
The explosive second half made up for the mediocre build up. Like me, 20~30-somethings ought to freshen up on watergate before seeing it.

What a beautiful person. The story was yesterday’s battle in an ongoing war.

I wouldn’t see it again, but it was enlightening. It’s also probably difficult to play Bush as anything other than a campy Texan.

Religulous ****
As far as Athiest-movement films go, this is the only one that doesn’t sound stuck-up-intellectual. Bill Mahr does an excellent job at using common sense, humor, and sounding like a normal person to make his point. I liked it a lot.
