I wanted to add Invasion of the Booby Snatchers, but then I realized that in this context the aliens aren't the ones doing the snatching.

How about a pet rock?

What, no Microsoft Word?

Nah, I didn't forget. It's just that Pitchford's list of screw-ups is so extensive that if I wanted to list of each and every one, we'd be here all day.

Good. I hope that sleaze Pitchford loses a mountainload of money on this. I absolutely hate the guy, he's a liar and a thief. And arguably, depending how you look at it, a pedophile.

As a short reminder: Borderlands was originally meant to look like this. Then, at the MTV Asia Awards 2006, an artist by the name of Ben Hibon premiered a neat-looking animated short by the name of Codehunters. You can see it here. Witchford saw this and wanted to use the artstlye for his new game. He and Ben had a back-and-forth for a while and then, radio silence.

2009 comes around and Pitchfork's new game Borderlands is released. And to say that it looked familiar to Codehunters would be an understatement. Kitschford, being an upstanding and virtuous citizen that he is, straight-up aped Codehunter's style. No discussions or agreements were made with Ben and as such, despite Borderlands becoming hugely profitable, Ben didn't see a cent. And that is why I will always hope for the Borderlands IP to crash and burn. Or, at the very least, for someone to actually pay Ben Hibon for (unknowingly) creating the game's artstyle. Anyway, rant over, thanks for coming to my TED talk.

omg, you're right! The "hand" on the left looks like a foot.

Ah, enough said. Thanks.

Wasn't this debunked as fake ages ago?

I'm out of the loop. What did HF do to make you not take them seriously?

Check out mister Mainstream over here. The rest of us snooty OS connoisseurs use Collapse OS.

Ugh. Then I guess it's time to reconsider my registrar again.

If drivers couldn't stop hitting the planters, then the planters aren't the problem. But hey, at least Portland is accomodating to maniac drivers.
