I’m pretty sure you have to choose to monetize each video when you upload it. I tried monetizing a few videos (cat videos, because of course), and I’m pretty sure I had to specifically say which ones were to be monetized when I uploaded a new video, as well as clicking checkboxes with stuff like “Yes, I own everything…

The best thing about watching last night’s TD finale was waiting for the Jezebel review.

The ads on this video when you click through to the YouTube version certainly lends to the sense of being staged. Maybe it’s legit. Maybe it’s not. If it is... I don’t know.

That’s the YouTube generation, I guess. Click through to the video on YouTube and there’s a 15 second ad before it.

Damn. The top comment on Gawker’s article on this story last week (with over 1000 stars) was:

The game was beautiful, but the writing was god awful. I still haven’t finished the game (though I intend to one day), and that’s because that writing is just groanworthy.

I’ll just be over here at 29 in the not-had-sex-since-January-and-that-was-with-an-ex-who-has-since-moved-on corner.

Too soon.

It’s not so much the delay, as the quality of the game that seems problematic. Like I said, I’m not even hyped for the game at this point. All of the gameplay released so far just looks bland as hell.

Yeah, I’ve backed several that turned out well. I’ve also backed several which are still in Alpha after four years.

I went on a backing spree in 2012, when the Kickstarter gaming hype was new and shiny, and few backed games had actually been finished (or at least with much media coverage).

So, the daddy thing. Uhm. What is that about? Honest question. I’ve always wondered. Never really... got it.

I’ve only read Fault in Our Stars (a couple years back, before the movie, when people were generally buzzing about him as the next big thing in YA), and honestly, I wasn’t all that taken with his writing. The dialogue just seemed super difficult to believe. Matthew Quick, on the other hand, seems to make YA super…

The schadenfreude is strong with this one.

Pretty sure it was “Let the intern learn Photoshop day.”

Yep. My first thought was, “Well, at least they chose an appropriate pseudonym...”

It actually reminds me a bit of those “Mockup of an Old Game as a New Game” type images, that float around the Internets to much acclaim.

Konami might literally be the devil at this point.

Yep! Lightspeed has been doing incredible work on that front. I also backed their recent QDSF anthology. One of these days I’ll get a story into Lightspeed or Nightmare... ONE OF THESE DAYS!

Absolutely. It would be amazing to make it on writing alone, but there are very few active writers that can actually manage it.
