I loved ParaNorman and I hope it wins all the awards, even the ones it’s not nominated for, but this seems like a weird thing to advertise. “Oh you liked Frankenweenie? Pfft, don’t you know they only had 1 million facial expressions??” If it was a 2D film, would they be boasting about having infinite facial expressions??

Goblet Grotto is a great little game and I am ordering you to play it!!! Describing it as an RPG parody with elements of text adventures doesn’t do it justice. I don’t think I’ve seen such a vivid depiction of our cold, uncaring universe, alienation, man’s savage nature and the horror of existence embodied in a game before. I still have a lot to explore if the amount of supplemental paragraphs is anything to go by. I have seen pictures of a cloud world and heard rumblings of a salt world but I don’t know how to get to those places yet
The game is a collaboration by thecatamites and J Chastain. I don’t know too much about thecatamites but J Chastain is a creative genius who has long been one of my favorite “internet people.” He does (did?) the fantastic webcomic Monster Killers and occasionally writes video game criticism… most of his oeuvre involves video games in some fashion. I think Goblet Grotto is a magnum opus
Well, my YouTube account got terminated early this morning, which is a real bummer! I had it since 2005, before Google acquired it, and posted more than a few videos there, plus a bunch of meticulously-curated playlists. The problem was this video I uploaded called “Wreck-It Ralph FULL MOVIE Part 1 of 1,203,” which of course contained no actual footage from the movie Wreck-It Ralph; it was just the first 17 seconds of the Disney logo, which is featured in hundreds of other YouTube videos, but I digress. It was making light of YouTube piracy and maybe making a comment about the way we consume media now, plus I thought the idea of someone watching a movie in ten-second snippets was really funny (well, a lot less so in retrospect).
I got this e-mail at 1 in the morning saying because of that video my account was suspended and I had a “strike” that would last for six months, and I thought “well, that’s not too bad” but then I’m poking around the YouTube site where it said my account was actually terminated – they never sent me an e-mail notifying me of that. Eventually I find a thing where I can “appeal” (I think that’s what it was, there’s like four different forms you can fill out) and after I do that I get an automatic message confirming yes, my account was terminated. From what I’ve Googled, it sounds like maybe there’s a small chance it can be reinstated… I’m pessimistic about that but I’m in “wait and see” mode for the moment. I guess the moral is don’t mess with Wreck-It Ralph, because he will wreck things up and make a mess of your pots and pans
