A few weeks ago, we exhibited at Emerald City Comicon. Typically when we attend conventions, we try to create some spectacle that captures people’s attention and sells games. Like the time we brought a marching band to PAX Australia.
At ECCC, we set up a “Pay What You Want” booth and encouraged people to give us any amount of money in exchange for our games. We put games on a table, set up some signs, stood off to the side, and waited to see what would happen.
We brought 2000 games. Before the convention began, we took bets on what would happen:
Tom thought we’d sell out in a few hours.
Alex thought we’d run out on the of the second day of the con.
Trin thought that we would not run out of games because we are no longer cool or relevant.
Jenn got a fever and didn’t know what was happening.
We were all wrong.
The doors opened, and attendees swarmed the booth. Within five minutes attendees realized they could just take games and walk away. A small group grabbed armfuls of free games and left, but most people paid something. Within an hour, the booth looked like this:
We ran out of games in 51 minutes.and made $8042.48, or 18.7% of the games’ retail value. In other words, we lost $685.44 per minute.
Attendees put lots of other stuff in the payment box too.
If you only care about trump attacking Syria because it could start a major war and not about the fact that syrians have been suffering for years at the hands of America and in their darkest times will continue to suffer, then you’re an asshole and you really dont care about anyone but yourself lmao
so I was chitchattin’ it up with @whatisthisnonsense again about the Bendys and we came up with this AU. in a nutshell: Good Ending where Bendy realizes Henry isn’t to blame for his situation, works together with Henry to take down a corrupted Final Boss Joey, and then Henry decides to offer Bendy the chance to leave that horrible studio for good and, y’know, come home with him to have a better shot at life in the real world
so he goes home with Henry, and Henry introduces this Real Life Cartoon to his niece Susan and his sister Darlene. Darlene, aware of Henry’s roll-with-it attitude (his voice clips in-game are WAY too chill) but exasperated at the fact that “HOOOWWWWW IS THERE A REAL LIFE CARTOON HERE,” throws her hands up and decides to roll with it as best she can, too.
Susan, who admires her animator uncle, is FLIPPIN DELIGHTED because HOLY SMOKES IT’S HER FAVORITE CARTOON CHARACTER AND HE’S
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
