people... this atrocity has brought me back from forum-death to speak out against this mess. who is behind this narwhal nonsense? the fake-bloody cagesport of beasts that dont actually exist but are imbued with special skills pitted against each other in hypothetical combat to the death for the sake...

let me go ahead and admit that i have a terrible attention span, so stories that jump right into it with something hardcore and exciting work really well for me, and getting me focused. having said that, this was one of my favorite episodes to date. im glad people are hesitant to classify it as a "z...

i think the full title definitely adds some clarity and context in retrospect, but the story wasnt lost to me without it. in fact, sans title it led me to a completely different interpretation of it all from treeman- though treeman was clearly spot on with the authors intent i think. you get the imp...

na you're spot on, if the secret is discovered legitimately- through independent discovery or reverse engineering etc. anyone can have at it. TS protection is for people who are trying to keep it under wraps but it gets out from something shady like industrial espionage or fraud or something. but yo...

i want a picture of hellephant sitting back in an armchair in a smoke jacket, reading the wallstreet journal, with the heads of all 6 of his past competitors mounted on the wall behind him. to symbolize his retirement. if only there were more Bo's to go around.

your protection only extends as far as the specific intended use you describe in your original patent application. Like, Oxyclean is club-soda, but club-soda didn't put "cleans carpets" in their application so oxyclean's free from license requirements. trade secret law might be different, i dunno i'...

i emailed that link to my IP professor, as it's relevant to class discussion we've had of late about trade secret (and copyrights or patents) protection often coming at the expense of big potential public benefits. i mean, imagine you're the inventor of scotch tape, and you've made a killing off it ...

if you're going to let a brothel whore disarm you and hack you with your own weapon, at least don't let her get your opposable thumbs, or you wont be able to wield your machetes from now on. he just lost his whole unique criminal persona he had worked so hard for.

ditto Norm, tom and tweedy. i voted for Chtuluphant before reading down to this option. can i change that to sticking with the classic Hellaphant?* *edit: provided the final artwork still has very Cthulu-esque features. as soon as i read the name i got real excited, thinking about an elephant with a...

i agree. this is a truly unique idea coupled with an execution that's so great because so many people are actually into it. the effort norm put into the production and setup, the effort and mad talent bo put into the art and design, and especially all the feedback, passionate input and violently def...

well crap. i had a whole rational worked out behind this, but i don't really have time to get the full thing out now, and need to get my forum vote out before it's too late. baaah. so long creative points. but here goes the 15 min version. basically, it boiled down to this- raptor's going to gun for...

this is a sweeping generalization that i just cant buy, based off just the 1 specimen they have. i mean, if aliens came down and picked up one of our woman, they'd probably figure all humans were wusses too. hehe. just playin. but no this pretty much the only colossal squid to ever let itself be cau...

i really liked this one, but didnt exactly at first. after the drabble and intro, i was pondering norms tone, and general solemnity. then the story started and i was thinking "what happened to his sense of humor? why so serious?" then the story wasn't by anymeans upbeat either, and it's rare to go t...

[oops. double posted]

dude, keep all your stuff you're working off of. it's seriously amazing. when you end up getting famous you can auction off original sketches and concept designs like special features. i took all the ones youve done so far, yanked them off their backgrounds and made a wallpaper for my laptop. probab...

i love how norms hat wearing, scruffy unshavenness makes it so remanicent of a michael moore documentary. except i'd actually take michael moore MORE seriously if he were asking questions about hypothetical combat between mega-beasts.

photo scavenger hunt complete! can't believe it's taken me so long to get these up and posted. can't believe no one beat me to it. not like there weren't plenty of goth chicks to go around. http://inlinethumb09.webshots.com/42696/2373967690067696704S425x425Q85.jpg this wasn't staged. i didnt tell he...

You know, I think this is an interesting microcosm of the ugliness of politics. you're totally right. i have a group of friends who swear they're moving to canada if mccain wins the election. i felt equally violated and hostile about the injustice of night-owl last round- when people liked him so m...

oh, and regarding the promo: ive listened to the first 2 episodes of "i killed awesome man" and let me say right off, it's great. norm does an 'awesome' job. i wouldnt put well told tales on par with drabblecast generally, but if the next 5 episodes of this mini-series are as good as the first ones,...
