Doug TenNapel has a new Earthworm Jim Crowd Fund Monday and why that's a BIG deal for Crowd Funded Comic Books!

Image
So I consider myself the *unofficial* biggest fan of Doug TenNapel's comic books so I was surprised to find out tonight that there is going to be another Earthworm Jim Crowd Fund on  KICKSTARTER  for those who missed out on the first one. I just heard of this.                                                   Personally I am excited  because I keep kicking myself that I didn't back one of the Original Art tiers on IndieGoGO even though my wife had given me her blessing to do so. I plan to correct that wrong FIRST THING MONDAY morning most likely but that isn't what this blog post is really about...                                         What this blog post is about is how I want to stress that this campaign Monday is actually very importa...

A Christian View of the Simulation

Image
It seems like it is all the rage for many famous people like Elon Musk and other intelligent people to talk about, not just the possibility but the probability, that we are living in a simulation. And as a Christian I actually agree with them that we are, kinda. The thing I find strangest about such intellectuals talking about the possibility of what we perceive as reality is a simulation is that they almost always speak about it in a way that suggests the simulation was created by either aliens or a super intelligent group of humans from our future. I have always found it odd that they almost always jump to those conclusions instead of the way more obvious scenario that such a proposed simulation would more likely to be made by a Creator aka God.                                                       I don't want to get into why such people wo...

Big Haul This Week in Comicsgate aka Crowd Funding books!

Image
Well I had a pretty big week receiving books I have supported off of IndieGoGo and Kickstarter. I have read all of them and will either write a review for each on this blog/and or create a video review for them in the vein of my Totally Biased videos. Sadly the videos are probably unlikely this week because as of this morning I am coming down with a cold and it is still up in the air how bad that will be. :) Again, even though as I said I have read all of these books already, I will want to read them a second time at least before I review them. So here are the books that I backed and were fulfilled this week in order of their arrival.                                                   First here was Flying Sparks vol. 3 by  Jon Del Arroz  and was backed via Kickstarter. I had bought the first two volumes off of Amazon  HERE  and  HER...

Doug Tennapel won Crowd Funding, in a way I didn't think possible anymore.

Doug Tennapel won crowd funding when he finished and released his Earthworm Jim: Launch the Cow book last December. It's all over but the bad guys surrendering.                   This fact should be obvious to any clear-minded, third party, close follower of the movement if they decided to watch as many satisfied customers un-boxing videos on YouTube as I have.                  I have happily watched so many videos of excited and surprised customers doing un-boxing videos on extremely small YouTube channels I have lost count of just how many I've seen. And they all have one thing in common, they are pleasantly surprised at the value they received. Doug fulfilled this campaign, for a popular, iconic character quickly and early and then quietly surprised his fan base by over fulfilling on quality and value. I have literally not seen one unhappy backer. I am a long and hu...
