My thoughts on COPPA
General | Posted 6 years ago#COPPA Cartoons and Animation are not just for kids anymore (just look at Animated TV shows for Adults like South Park, Family Guy, Rick & Morty, and more), and the new COPPA Rule will just make things worst on YouTube for everyone.
I also think that making Video Creators face COPPA fines of $42,530 per video is outrageous, and COPPA's regulation and definition of “child-directed” is vague. The FTC needs to give creators more enforcement clarity.

Facebook Wants to Become a Bad Patreon Rip-off
General | Posted 7 years agoSo, it seems that Facebook wants to become the worst Patreon rip-off ever made. And the fact that they will get Lifetime IP rights to what ever you make and a 30% gross revenue fee off of any money you make. 😠 #FacebookSucks

The Collapse of the Comic Book Industry?
General | Posted 8 years ago"At a rousing panel at 2017's San Diego Comic Con, DC Comics publishers Jim Lee and Dan Dio issued a rallying cry to 'to stop the collapse of the Comic Book Industry."
https://moviepilot.com/p/sdcc-2017-.....llapse/4327814
I would like to say that maybe the reason for the Comic Book Industry Collapsing is that comics just cost too much to buy today ($3.99 upto $5.00), and that's if you can find a place to buy them without having to go online to order them, and then have to pay even more money for shipping ($6.00 upto $8.00 for each mail order). back when I was a kid, you could find comics almost everywhere, like at the store, the gas station, the news stand, and even at the library. Now the only place to can get comics is at a comic book store or an online comic shop.
You then have to take in account what you are getting for your money when you buy a comic book being made by DC and Marvel today. Back when I was a kid, you could get an 80-page comic for about $1.50 and only 5 of the pages where ads for other comics, but when you buy a comic book today, it cost $5.00 and you only get about 8 to 10 pages of comic story (most of it is just endless dialogue) and 15 pages of ads.
But that's just my thoughts on the issue, I could be wrong.

Rare Dead Duck by Jay P. Fosgitt TPB Comic on Sell on eBay
General | Posted 10 years agoO.K., I just put up allot of comics and toys up for sell on eBay, so if anyone wants to get a good deal on some cool comics and toys, now is a good time to do so. ;)
As you can see, one of my auctions for for a Rare TPB Comic of Dead Duck that was made by Jay Fosgitt (The same guy who does the artwork for IDW's My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Comic series). This comic normal goes for sell on eBay and Amazon.com from $99.99 upto $700.00, but because it's only in Fare Condition (It has some small dents and scratches on the front and back covers and on the spine.), I am starting the bid on it at $5.00.

Thanksgiving/Black Friday 2014
General | Posted 11 years agoWell, it's the day before Thanksgiving, and already people are lining up at the stores for Black Friday.
To this day, I still can't understand why anyone would wait in line for 3 days or more, just so they can try and kill each other to get the best deal on a stupid Blue-Ray/DVD Player at 5AM on a Friday. It does however make me wonder if they have to deal with BS like this in other countries (like the UK or Canada), or is it just a thing here in the U.S.A.

Mass Effect 3 Omega DLC Question
General | Posted 11 years agoO.K., I have a DLC question for any fans of the game series Mass Effect. I was thinking of getting some of the DLC quests for the game Mass Effect 3 on the PS3, when I noticed that there are two versions for the Omega DLC on the Playstation Network, one is listed as "Free" and the other one is prcied at $14.99. So my question is, what is the differences between the Free version of the DLC and the $14.99 version? Do you get more stuff with the $14.99 one, or is it the same stuff you would get in the Free version?
I have looked almost everywere online to find out the answer on my own, and I have found nothing, and I would really like to know witch one I should get.

I Got SPAMED! :(
General | Posted 11 years agoTo Everyone that read my Journals and watch me on FA:
I just wanted to let you know that I think my E-mail address got hit by some Spamware, so if you get an odd looking E-mail from my E-mail address with a subject like Re: or Fw: with nothing else or the words like "Link" or "News", and in the E-mail itself it says something like "Hi. Checkout this Link" or just an odd looking link with my E-mail address at the end of it, Do not click on it. I did not send that E-mail, some type of Spamware did. If you do click on it, it will take every E-mail you have in your address book and contact list, and send them a Spam E-mail like the one I told you about.
The only reason I found out about this was I started getting "Can't Send E-mail" messages from Yahoo Mail, Google Mail, and eBay because some of the E-mails that the spam was sent to don't exist anymore. So I have been contacting everyone on my E-mail address book and contact list to let them know what happened.
