But they're not public assets. That's the thing. Riot owns anything related to League, including the streams. They have allowed 3rd parties to use their proprietary Spectator mode, but the content still belongs to Riot. It says so in their terms of service. It is not public property.

Seems legit to me...(>.>)

Haha I felt the same way. Yea some of the swag I left my job with was awesome too :). It always did irritate me that the parents just didn't grasp it. It was almost like, "Wait? You're okay with letting your daughter/son do that? Do you know what's going on?"

I'm not surprised. I remember them trying to pass blame that it was a mod, but when a couple programmers I knew got it working from the code it was like an "oooooooh shit son!" moment. They definitely made the money back though. GTA San Andreas was pretty big afterwards. I remember still trying to tell poor…

Think of being an artist and drawing it!

Because he is making money off of someone else's work. Anyone that donates or subscribes to his stream is paying for obtained property he doesn't have the rights or permission to use. Then he is hiding behind Riot's terms of service to justify it. Problem is, by not recognizing that Riot has an issue with this, that…

That's not entirely true. You misunderstand my point a bit. I'm not saying that developers are beyond reproach with things like planning ahead. However, if I am giving you an estimation, it obviously includes a date that is a little passed when I'm expecting to be done. That is common sense. It gives you padding in…

Oh I work in Marketing and Design, so I'm pretty familiar with both sides actually. As for San Andreas, how in the world did they handle the AO rating change? I'm genuinely curious as it definitely changed things for the game when it was launched.

There is a difference in constructive criticism and just being a dick though. It's why I dislike deconstruction for literary and film reviews.

TL;DR response -

I agree with you, and that's where I get upset with publishers and not developers. If the publishers had given the developers enough time to get the bugs straightened out, there wouldn't be the issues. Game developers know what the hell they're doing. They know how long it will theoretically take to make something…

Sadly, Jhonen wanted to do an animated feature, but unfortunately it won't happen for the time being. when Zim came out and became the ridiculous Hot Topic phenom, they started selling the JHTM books there. Jhonen was rather unhappy about that. He didn't feel the book was suitable for their age demographic. He…

Actually you're half right and so am I. A trademark is used to contextually protect an idea, brand, or phrase. Someone can in fact sue over the use of a word used in a product, even if it is a different product. For example, the word Droid. The word Droid is owned by George Lucas. Any other uses of the name must be…

It's a trademark clause rather than copyright. Those are sadly, two separate things. For example, you can make a robot, android or any other cybernetic contraption, just do not call it a Droid. That name is owned by George Lucas.

I'm with you. I own it on PS2 and was one of my fav games from that era. I snagged up the PC remaster when it dropped and....played fumbled through the first few minutes. Even trying ot use a mouse and keyboard just made it way worse. I was pretty sad about this actually :(

Go deeper with history man. Please. Why don't you include the Irish on that list?

Yup. Star Wars. Had Bucky beat by about a decade. Han Solo's pal Jaxxon!

Slightly off-topic, but, sadly, kids read more today then they ever have. They spend hours reading Tweets, FB messages, Texts, Google, Wikis etc. They read so much information it's actually astounding. The issue is that their attention span, and retention of said information has dwindled, also the quality of what…

lol I noticed that too, but then I realized. He'd found all the bits of code, and such, and has pulled them apart. Now that he's found all the sectors and files on the disc, he still has areas where that code goes and what it means.

Firebug, an open-source plug-in for Firefox allows me to directly edit and save changes to a web page as long as the code isn't proprietary or pulled from a .php database. So yes, I can do that Firefox. In Chrome however, I don't need a plug-in to do that. I simply hit Shit+Ctrl I and I'm off, but I can't physically…
