Best pvp strip in years.
Really states the whole problem (and solution) right there.
Heh, remember the PVP animated series DVDs? How long did those take to arrive at customers' houses?

And they were crap when they arrived. The menus were broken, the aspect ratios were screwed up, the audio had volume issues and it was total amateur hour all around. I enjoyed the animated series, but I felt cheated when I bought the DVD.
I remember that. You know whats funny? I sent Scott an email from my production company that I was with (we primarily did Medical DVD's at the time) and said I'd be interested in helping him with the DVD stuff, even doing it at a lower rate, etc, etc. Never heard back. Which sucks for him because I know we would have done a better job than the hacks he got.
I agree. When I read one of his rants I can't stand the guy but when I listen to a podcast or watch a video with him in it I want to hang out with him. He's really entertaining and it comes across well in video. I'm glad they raised the 50k needed to produce the video.
And in reading Twitter now people are attacking him for using kickstarter to raise the money. I don't see how he puts up with it. Everything he does is scrutinized and judged. Considering his fund raised 50k in a week I would assume the haters are small in numbers compared to his supporters.
Wait, what's to hate about using kickstarter to produce a project? That's kind of what it's for.
I think they were complaining about Scott putting the risk of this on other people, instead of paying for it himself. These people don't understand how business works.

Kurtz had something against it because he thought it was like begging for money. "you look like a string of goddamn hobos with your hats on the ground." if the quote is correct. Then he found out that Paypal only allows for charges to be made immediately, and not scheduled for some future date like Kickstarter. Basically it dawned on him that Kickstarter has a purpose and isn't just a virtual donation hat.
I'm looking forward to listening to Webcomics Weekly #81, to hear his thoughts on the matter more fully.
Interesting. I could understand his initial confusion. A lot of people don't really get Kickstarter immediately, for some reason.
Maybe Sonya rescued Jase form Robie's torture cell.
What the shit.

"Ditto?" "Ditto," you provincial putz?
