Where Youtube is going
That's already required for monetizing a Let's Play.

Procreation is pointless and unethical
Well, we tried not procreating as much for a bit here in Holland, now we're paying through our nose in pensions because there are more old people than young people. So I guess the only solution is global genocide.

Where Youtube is going
Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I was told (so it's likely to be wrong) the arguement is that LP's generally fall under Commentary, Satire and Review, which would be fair use. EDIT: It's a ridiculously bad idea to mess with Let's Plays anyway, since 90% of my game purchases are based on "I saw an LP of a game that looked fun" and I'm not the only one (for example, the only reason Amnesia was remotely successful is because there were a lot of videos of people getting their pants scared off on YouTube).

What's on the idiot box... Part 2
Most of the murders on Castle aren't so much horrid as they are horribly entertaining.

STEAM!
That is clever. What is the most interesting thing about this is it shows how much your kids must like and respect you if they are prepared to spend personal time researching you. Its credit to you and the positive influence you have on there lives and something to be proud of, so nice one I dunno, if I ever researched a teacher it was to try and find something I could use against them.

Where Youtube is going
I think content creators for YouTube (it's well established that a Let's Player has the most subscribed to channel on Youtube) are going to move on to somewhere else if the ridiculous treatment of intellectual property on Youtube continues. In fact, this is already happening - many small-time Let's Players have moved on to Livestreaming on places like Twitch.

What you did today
I have one, I just loathe electronic or any other kind of paperwork. I didn't like the idea that I was forced to use PayPal, so I never pledged. Also, they take up too much screen real estate. Maybe squeeze them in side by side or something. Mmmm...you boys are sounding guilty about not pledging and seem to be justifying why you didn't pledge But I don't think anyone should really care why a person did or didn't pledge. Its a personal choice and it doesn't mean your contribution on the forums isn't as relevant or interesting compared to someone who did pledge. I'm confidant you will purchase the game when its released and that's equally as important from a revenue generating perspective for Obsidian To be honest I didn't want a specific backers site or these special forums badges. I think it can be a little divisive, I can guarantee you we will get a situation later on during some heated debate around some gameplay component in PoE that someone will say something like " you didn't even back this project so your opinion means nothing" I prefer a website where everyone is seen as equal and they are all fans of RPGs and Obsidian I'm not guilty about it. I'm buying it when it comes out anyway. I don't use credit cards so PayPal was my only way to pledge - and I don't trust PayPal. The kickstarter goal had been made already by the time I found out so it's not like my pledge mattered, and this way they can still get some profit out of it. I'm concerned everyone who wants PE already backed it and I think Obsidian deserves better than just being able to budget a game.

That's because horrid murders shouldn't be a backdrop for romance.

Eternity's captcha is terrebile
Hah, not really Obsidian specific because the captcha's are automized but I share your concern. It's only a matter of time the randomized captchas form a sequence that awaken great Cthulhu.

That last bit felt exactly like a video game.

The King of Monsters Returns. I'm pretty psyched, seems like this is going into the right direction.

Yeah, but that other chick she's sharing the screen with is secretly Orlando Bloom.

I know you're messing with me because that would mean there would be two female characters on screen at the same time in a Tolkien movie.

Movies you've seen recently
Reviews for the new Hobbit movie seem positive, saying it's still bloated, but this time bloated with massive action sequences. Now I'm getting excited.
