    Yeah...

     

    "She earned that money because by not using it to do what she said she would she showed that people can be dicks." is not a reason or a great mystery that needed solving.

     

    I guess she's only done one video so far, but I think she really needs to step up her game (no pun intended) here.

     

    I'd be curious to see her kick starter, usually people promise more content if they go well over what they asked for.

     

    Actually, I'd like to know what she promised in the first place even at her regular goal. If it was "More of the same, but I'll have your money" (more or less) then the people who paid her money are kind of dumb.

    Her original goal was 5 videos based on specific tropes. Her stretch goals were additional videos, production quality, and a classroom curriculum.

    OK, much better.

     

    She's basically producing more videos and, passing out a bunch of stickers, and a handful of DVDs, and there's some vague reference to "improved production quality".

    He price points are kind of ridiculous, but I'm sure she was upfront about them at least.

     

    I think for the amount of money she was given and how little is going back into sending people physical goods, she could stand to do something out of the ordinary (I still think traveling to talk to women in the industry is a good idea), but I don't think she hasn't given anyone what they signed up for.

    ^^ I saw that.

     

    Kind of pretty weak stretch goals if you ask me, but if that's what people want to pay for then there's not much to argue with her about except maybe that this vague "production quality improvement" doesn't look like much.

  • Honestly, this discussion is just reinforcing my impression of her being a hack.
  • I finally watched the video, which admits it's going for a broad outlook on the the topic at first, and that's exactly what it is, if it weren't for the fact that it was framed that she would do more episodes then I could see where the accusations came from.

    Honestly, I don't see any problem with the video ._.

    me neither.  The blog post Yarrun linked on the last page raised some valid criticisms, but i'm kinda perplexed by how much people seem bothered by it.  i'd never have guessed it would provoke the kind of anger it seems to be attracting.  If anything i'd have said the video was possibly too mild-mannered.

    As far as the money goes, it does seem a lot.  The production quality is markedly improved on her earlier videos, what with the intro and the music and the footage used, and apparently some of the money went towards buying games... though, that does mean she was basically asking for money to play video games.  But people gave her the money willingly and it's not like she was dishonest about it.
  • I think she went kind overboard with the footage, really. It feels like every individual clip goes on for two seconds longer than it should.

    jesus christ idk who the fuck this woman is and im sure whether zelda is sexist or not doesnt justify like 10 pages of discussion and what has it got to do with tumblr

    It has to do with tumblr because a lot of tumblrs are exploding with ecstasy to discuss the video this lady released. thus is completely justified in discussing it within the context of this thread.

    Also, just a minor nitpick, but punctuation lends to more coherent sentences. I am not normally one to police someone's grammar, but in this case it's distracting.

    lots of tumblrs explode with ecstasy over pretending you are really a dragon inside. but its not like we discuss that in fact there is a rule against it. that is all im saying because this doesnt deserve any more discussion

    If people are contributing money to see a series critiquing video games, it makes sense that some of the money would be spent on games. She's got to play them to be able to know what she's talking about, no?

  • pictures of cats are also welcome

    editorial design antics, pt. 2

    this looks like a normal magazine spread right

    image

    well

    if you look really closely on one of the melons i put a really tiny pterodactyl right in the middle

    image

    no one noticed

    and they actually published it

    now there are 2000 copies of this magazine featuring this tiny pterodactyl and i’m the one at fault

    oh my god am i a horrible person or what

    I'm guessing people are angry because for all the money she got it just sort of seems like she's spending it on hookers and blow her living expenses and video games, but as far as I can tell, she didn't really promise anything more than that.

    I wouldn't call this a worthwhile use of money, but I didn't give her any, so what do I care?

    food for thought on the "Amount of money" she got.

    Some of this makes good points, but there's no way $150,000+ just covers LIVING expenses even in the bay area. That is over three times the national average a HOUSEHOLD makes in a year.
  • Eh, she posted an image of her with a buncha console (versions of) games, and, in retrospect, she coulda tried using Steam to buy all the non-console indies (and save some dough in the process).

    We should just make a page on the HH wiki where we can link all our Tumblrs.

    Also, we should make an HH wiki.
