Now that I look at it again, I think you’re right.

Kind of looks like an Akita. Akita with horns... Akitorn.

Dog with antlers: Dogler.

Is that a giant ass clown-whale, or a giant ass-clown whale?

Two guys made a game studio that still exists nearly 30 years later and signed with the then largest game publisher in the world at 16. One of those great success stories that really makes you question your life decisions.

Well, obviously they’re future stealth fighter jets.

Starving college students typically don’t work outside of their studies and, apparently, time spent in MMOs. Or are you implying that I have since not found a job? In which case, your implication is incorrect.

Ok, story time. So, I’m the antisocial type, and I played EVE for years and made a buttload of money ($1,000+... that’s a lot to a starving college student) off of selling my characters. I did all of this by being social in the game. When I tried to go back to it a few years later, I tried to solo it with myself and a…

Also, why stop here? Why not have a whole Ghibli area?

Gotta be careful with Samus cosplay. One bump, and all of those upgrades fly right off.
