Some thread about the law surrounding parody

[Sousa]

sahyder didn't post any condescending questions though!

I was expecting it to be more insipid and less hilarious. It's only gotten really insipid this evening.

[StevenRichardsRules]

and all the while people have been wondering in the thread because it's crazy popular and buying the game.

you could done a paper round this morning and bought the game.

It's so cute. Can we keep it?

NO

I've seen RW in here for a while now. I can only assume he wandered (wondered?) into the Coin Op, saw that a thread had suddenly exploded in activity, opened it up and became literally paralysed with rage.

[Gazz]

Guys (by which I mean Jukebox), if you thought the other cards posted were just far too sutble for the WWE to twig onto, I give you this:

:lmao:

That's fucking ridiculous.

R-Kwick should totally have 79 Mic Skills.

[King Ellis]

Should have been called Pretty Kwicky.

[Serious Parody]

The thing that makes me laugh about this that you guys think you have something over on me here. In reality, you've spent all day talking about a game you don't want to play, that you're not interested in and all the while people have been wondering in the thread because it's crazy popular and buying the game. More over, you think you've found some great revelation that I am the great Dandonian. Well it was ME that told you that. Not the other way around. This isn't one of those times where someone was trying to be sneaky. I linked you to it.

Even better than all of that, is the fact that you're never going to play the game. So you've spent a whole day of your life sat talking about a game you'll never even play. So you rate the value of a day of your time at $9.99. On a Saturday too.

Now the shame about all of that is, I built a game that I know you guys would like and instead of sitting on here bitching about spending a £6.99, you could done a paper round this morning and bought the game. Then you would have actually known if you like it or not rather than just bitching random nonesense that doesn't matter in the slightest to you. Why would you even remotely care what my legal situation is? From the way you guys talk about piracy, you should be more worried about your own ass.

Oh but that's right. It's not that you care about it, it's that you think it winds me up for you talk about it. It doesn't. Because for every post you make about it, there's a chance someone comes across this incredibly popular thread and has a nosey. So troll away and make me money bitches!!!

It's a shame we all couldn't just get along.

*Crackles Knuckles, Clears Throat*

Oh boy, this is going to be a gas.

Why would you even remotely care what my legal situation is? From the way you guys talk about piracy, you should be more worried about your own ass.

But you didn't know that we'd like it.

First, the only heads up we had was a post you made three months ago saying that the game was coming. Well, okay, fair enough. You were actually doing something right with the marketing, by asking a potential audience what they'd think about it. However, judging that you 'knew' that we would like it is one hundred percent bullshit. All we saw of this fucking game was nothing but pictures that were total ripoffs of current WWE and TNA talent, as well as people no longer associated with the business. Your "Developer's Blog", if you could even call it that (Oh yeah guys, Serious Parody has a blog), has a grand total of two updates, one of which started in August of this year, incidentally when you started whoring this game onto the internet, and one two months later. Wow, way to keep that fanbase informed, champ.

Second, you don't give us, the CONSUMERS, the option of a demo or a beta, and you simply say "BUY THE GAME TO SEE IF YOU LIKE IT ". Well fuck that. I will grant that there are times in life where you really don't know what you're getting; going to a new restaurant, a movie you don't know much about, however, there are other times when you do have the option of seeing what you're getting into. This is why there are such things as test drives and refunds. One of your programming contemporaries, Activision-Blizzard, realized that people might want to try something out before they commit the cash, so they give out a trial period. Adam Ryland does it. He's even letting people play Comic Book Hero, and if you want to have a fucking prayer in that game you have to pay for it.

But you...

You have no sense of the law at all, no sense of customer relations. We've had someone asking you repeatedly about a problem in the game, and yet you refused to address it all, establishing that you're just some loser wanna be programmer that's made a really shitty game that he's totally blind to, and I will say it's shitty because even your ardent defender here in the thread, JukeBoxHero, is talking about bugs. These should not be here when you release a game, and if they are, you had better be working your ass off to patch the shit before you start to lose customers.

You review your own fucking game, we is just fucking stupid. You aren't shilling it, you're reviewing it. That's bullshit, man, and it's one of the stupidest ploys that is pulled on the internet.

And then there is the matter of your smug fucking attitude. You want to sell this game, but you're being a prick in here? Well fuck you, too. THIS board exists because Adam Ryland is in no way like you. It exists because unlike you, he takes the time to respond to our feedback, on what was a free game at the time. I remember after EWR 1.4 he started taking ideas for 2.0. "What can be improved?" "Well, the Tag Teams..." "Okay, I'm on it!" . And viola, the fan base rejoiced. The EW series went through how many versions before he had a marketable product?

So in conclusion, Serious Parody, let me just say, on behalf of every member of EWB, and every human being that's played EWR or TEW, excluding JukeBoxHero, of course:

Fuck off.

Don't boo me, you should be booing yourself!

[StevenRichardsRules]

I counter R-Kwick with:

Also: Danny "Boy" Bryan, Christoph Superhero, Rodney Rude ect.

I was saying Boo-erious Parody.

[Serious Parody]

See for yourself, Kirkland.

What the fuck. Half those people are shittily sidestepped names while the other half are literally just a guy's real name and ring name switched up.

And how the fuck is "The Leprechaun" not a ripoff? The only difference between that thing and Hornswoggle is that Hornswoggle's not explicitly referred to as a leprechaun anymore.

EDIT: Also, I'm 99% sure that the "Iron Man Match" card has Shawn Michaels' face completely unchanged with the exception of the terrible Super Saiyan haircut.

Yeah, Hornswoggle, the only leprechaun that's ever existed EVER!!!

Christ, it like instead of tell the artist what guys to use for inspiration you just handed them photos and said "Cartoon these two images on photoshop but change the head on one and the tattoos on the other."

Believe in them? Hell, he's scared of them!

Serious Parody and Kirkland just shit themselves.

[King Ellis]

Is MC Puke Droz?

It's shame all these pictures got out, it would have made an interesting forum game having people try and guess who they were supposed to be.

[Meacon Keaton]

Hi Kaney!

[LUKIE]

47 pages? I'm not reading that. Someone break it down for me.

[GoGo Yubari]

Hey, there was that guy who was a member of the Dungeon of Doom for like a week that I can't actually find a picture of.

[Sousa]

Just read all of Serious Parody's posts and assume the opposite of them is true.
