Just found out a few days ago that the guy who was supposed to give out the prizes for the OHRRPGCE movie contest is broke (so nobody'll be getting any money... no $20.00 for me then) and doesn't feel like making the movie posters because one or two of the entries were made as a sort of bash against him (or more specifically his character Mr. Triangle, but eh, pretty obvious what was intended there) due to this really bizarre rage against the "no ripped graphics" rule that came up out of nowhere. Seriously, almost all of the OHR contests don't allow ripped graphics, so I have no idea why this was such a controversial issue when it came to this contest... it's one of those things that's pretty much always been part of contest rules and yet this time a bunch of people went nuts over it.
But yeah... because the guy doesn't want to make a Gay-Bashing Mr. Triangle poster (the character actually did start out that way, but has moved away from that in the last... I dunno, 5 years or so? seriously, the "Mr. Triangle hates gays" thing hasn't actually been the focus of a game for so long that someone bringing it back up can't really be taken as anything but a bash against the guy), I also won't get my Fat Frog poster. He said he'd considered making only mine at one point, but as much as I'd like to see the poster I had to tell him it wasn't a good idea to only make mine and I'd feel weird being the only one getting the prize even though everyone won one. Seems like he's decided to not making any of them, so at least if the other people who entered (...okay, mostly just one other person who entered, the others don't seem too upset over the whole thing) go into some kind of Internet-moron-rage over it, none of that will be undeservedly directed at me for getting a poster when they didn't.
Speaking of Fat Frog: The Movie, I still need to get around to making the second part (in which the battle with Vomitus actually starts... and ends... and then there's a few more fights afterward and things start getting even more ridiculous.) I've been pretty busy with school so I haven't really had a chance to do much with that, but maybe I'll get started on it over the weekend. There's not a whole lot to do around here on weekends (especially if you're not a Mormon... I mean, I do occasionally go to church just to see what it's like and be around people I know for a while, but it probably won't be a regular thing.)
EDIT: Turns out there will be prizes for the movie contest after all! Just... not the ones that were originally advertised. XD That's okay, I never really enter contests for the prizes anyway. But yeah, I'll be getting some stickers and a $20 Subway gift card in the mail at some point. Conveniently, there just happens to be a Subway within walking distance of SVU, so I'll definitely get some use out of that. Still would've liked to see a Fat Frog: The Movie poster, but still, some homemade stickers and a few days' worth of free $5 Footlongs is a lot better than nothing!
