The desperation is real

Bad Ads, In the News, Patently Ineffective, Weaksauce Losers

So I’m in Miami on business. I get this ad:

A vote for Kasich or Cruz = A vote for Trump (Rubio's in there somewhere, right?)

You get a quick glance at it as you’re browsing the internet. Who does it want you to vote for?

1. Trump is smiling, in full color. His picture gets the most retail space. The others are in grey-scale. Smells like a Trump ad!

2. “Kasich” and “Cruz” are the first names you see. But Trump’s name is the biggest. Surely, it’s a Trump ad.

3. In fact, “A VOTE FOR TRUMP” is the most prominent text. Must be a Trump ad!

4. Your eye is drawn to Trump’s color photo with the bright red “SEE WHY” just below him. They want you to “see why” you should vote for Trump!

This feels like a Trump ad that didn’t even deign to mention the increasingly irrelevant Rubio.

Of course, if you bother to read it, you might figure out it IS a friggin’ Marco Rubio ad. Naturally, Rubio’s face is nowhere to be seen, even though his relative attractiveness would be an advantage. And his name is in a smaller, harder-to-read font. Even the little lens flare interrupts the flow of “Marco Rubio for president”.

I’d bet $20 this ad was the brain-child of a couple middle-aged men, one of whom happened to have a teenage son who can dabble with Photoshop a bit.

Coming soon: an Election 2016 roundtable with the Eggs!

Gaming

Even though I haven’t played in months (and wasn’t very good), going to give a shout out to Prismata.

It takes the form of a card game, but it’s really a turn-based strategy game. As the quote on the website says, it’s sort of a mix of Starcraft and Hearthstone? But that doesn’t quite do it justice…it stands excellently on its own without such a comparison.

Here's me breaching a low-level AI. (I'd be getting curbstomped by a human.)

Think I have one code to get into the alpha lying around, so if you want to check it out, let me know! First come, first serve!

inidan cuisine

It is no longer possible to get Indian food in Tuscaloosa…we must content ourselves with Inidan food. It’s similar, but just tastes a little off…

“We are comfident you will not be dissapointed.” Considering they put cashews in a dish, specifically asking them to be non-existent due to allergies? My comfidence was misplacced.

(Normally, this place is actually quite good. Hopefully next time, they are back to their normal standards.)

Blog News

I entrusted the human who used to blog on this site to help defend the unrepresented Eggish race.

Instead, he has dithered, permitting the human race to continue devouring my kind unabated.

No longer. We ride. We return. And you Humans will be shamed, bribed, or coerced into eating us no longer.

(Oh, by the way, here’s my idea for the official Eggish flag. Looks ravishing if I should say so myself. No Mastication Without Representation!)

The purple is to our royal history and great monarchs.
The yellow represents the spirit of Yolk that resides within all true Eggs and their Allies.
The kind of puke green represents vomit that should be spewing from your mouth just thinking about how barbaric it is to consume another sapient species like the Egg.
