This fuckin thing needs its own thread so the stuff doest get mixed in to the Video Game thread.

So they showed the full controller and announced that it will definitely have OnLive support at launch. Thats huge.

...is so fucking dope. This thread is here to honor her freshness. My motives will soon become clear.

Legalities of Selling Art Mar 15, 12, 7:02 p.m.

If i buy someones art, and then change it in a way that is obvious that the changes were deliberate, can i resell that artwork as my own? Does it matter or can the original artist say 'no that's my work underneath'... If i can resell the original artwork as is, surely i can resell it with modifications... Im not talking about passing off the original work as my own.. im talking about this new hybrid of the original + my shit...

Anyone know what the deal is?

Marketing Ideas Jul 28, 05, 10:37 a.m.

Hey Guys... I have an invention i created - called "Shut the F--k Up" ... I honestly think it could be the next big thing... i could see the worlds population spraying eachother in the face with a pristine stream of cool water as an alternative to giving them the finger, etc. (heh). Thing is, I don't know how to market my idea...

Does anyone have any experience with marketing products, particularily novelty joke products and could lend some suggestions? I would be so appreciative, and Im the kind of guy to remember who helped me once I become rich and famous. :D heh.

please?

Dog Owners Only Apr 25, 13, 11:27 a.m.

What's the highest amount of $ you would be willing to spend on your 7-year old pet if you knew it would save their life for another 3-5 years. The highest amount you could justify to yourself knowing that if you didn't spend it, your pet could die literally any day now?

Going through some shit, man. Took care of this beast since we took it away from it's mom as a puppy. Hard to justify doing anything but 'everything we can' to save its life, but looking at that estimate... fuck me...

Could Have Done Better... Apr 9, 13, 6:50 p.m.

you ever finish that job and look at it and are just like 'that could have been better' but it was like an illustration / painting and doing it better means starting from scratch and you already spent way too much time on it already and have too much work breathing down your neck to justify doing better just for the sake of it? So then you just hope the client likes it but then you don't hear back from them right away and you start wondering if maybe they see it too and then you start stressing cuz the deadline is too soon and you have 10 more jobs to do but you cant stop thinking about it and it's driving you crazy so you end up watching fucking game show bloopers on youtube to take your mind off it and you start feeling like you actually have zero talent to begin with?

Has that ever happen to you?

"Online Community" Mar 18, 13, 2:06 p.m.

What is it with clients who want to create an online community when they have absolutely ZERO plans for marketing or expansion of their content. Do they think just because you build a site that allows people to talk to eachother, that its just going to be full from day one and have rich engaging conversations? Why are so many entrepreneurs so delusional? Why am I so jaded? Is it because I have to listen to this bullshit time and time again?

I need a quick hand - can someone let me know if http://www.converge-group.com is up or down? My DNS cache is bustin my balls.. Thanks in advance!!

Sandbox Cover? Oct 1, 12, 3:26 p.m.

Hey - any engineering geniuses want to help me brainstorm an idea to cover up a sandbox for the winter - Im kinda going for something a little less 'permanent' so technically my kid could even 'fold' or 'pull' or 'roll' the cover up himself without too much hassle (ie i toyed with the idea of a big wooden cover, but it would be too heavy to lift on/off all the time.)

I figured its a shot in the dark to ask you guys but you're the most creative crew i know aside from day to day peeps and i swear to god ive been thinking of this since the middle of summer and haven't been able to come up with jack shit.

I'd like to make something like the ipad smart cover so it folds up in pieces, but even that i cant think of a material that would be strong enough, but light enough once it's all stacked up ..

any genius ideas!?

love mantrakid

"Clarification! I thought this was self-explanatory, but apparently not... ;) When I posted earlier that "LegendaryTimes.com needs a facelift!" with the request to "Submit your KICK ASS graphic concepts to by April 10th" I did NOT mean that you should send me links of websites of what you think LegendaryTimes.com should look like, but TO CREATE and submit a couple of new, BAD ASS layout ideas. THIS is WHY you have until April 10th! ;) The "winner" then is given the project (paid, of course!) to completely overhaul LegendaryTimes.com - I'm looking for something very Indiana Jones-ish with lots of browns and deep purples, glows etc. of course while ALSO implementing Ancient Alien elements etc. I DON'T want pyramids and/or stupid Mayan Calendars etc. <--- THAT's been done before. I want something NEW. New YET still mysterious. I have a vision in my head. I'm searching for the person to put it on a screen! Go for it!"

WebComics Apr 5, 12, 10:51 a.m.

Post your favorite webcomics here. Also curious to know if they are daily/weekly. Im actually just starting one and wondering if I should commit to doing it daily.

can't make a jingle :( Jun 28, 12, 9:26 a.m.

why does my jingle making process suck?
I have to meet in two hours with my client and I don't have anything. It's for a bike shop and I'm trying to avoid all of the cliche things like singing about bikes, chain's, sprockets, etc.

I haven't even opened up audition yet. Just working on beats... trying to follow the same formula. I've totally wrecked my brain the past two days and I'm not recording anything on it :/

QBN Illustrators Mar 21, 13, 8:13 a.m.

Are there any QBN'ers who make a majority of their income with illustration work? I would love to see your stuff & maybe have some discussions on what your day / week is like.

Would love to hear what you guys think of my latest tune.... Full album coming soon, but its all in this gritty forest cassette tape steelo:

Heckled Dec 6, 11, 10:33 p.m.

Being passed this by a client is the graphic design equivalent of being heckled on stage as a comedian. Fuck this shit.
