Oh my. That is particularly lovely. You guys are all dropping amazing games while I have no time to play them!

Congratulations!

My what? My sw-- Oh! This is actually a thumb tack from the bulletin board.

There's no known defense for my witty riposte!

Darth: At 48 hours, everyone who has clicked a "remind me" button gets a notification from KS that the campaign is almost over. This usually leads to a big bump in pledges at the end.   

So...I get to do it with 1981 Karen Allen? With whom did you make it?

------------

I've been up against sea slugs with more backbone than you!

I am disgusted with the entire world that this isn't funded yet. I upped my pledge yesterday and will probably kick in some add-ons before all is said and done.

Your insults crash harder than Evel Knievel.

-------

My sharp wit will leave you with a Heidelberg scar!

And your insults are as empty as your cowardice full!

--------

Would you like to take a break? You look tired and perplexed.

Congratulations on purchasing your first thesaurus!

Were you born this way, or were you dropped as a child?

Here's hoping you're still going strong, but I am weak and tired! I've enjoyed watching your progress so far, and will hopefully be up in time tomorrow to see you hit page 24!

Well guessed, the film that probably convinced everyone that Mick Jagger shouldn't be in them...

I still like Ned Kelly!

I was never quite sure how Citizen Kane was the Citizen Kane of movies.

In America, the reputation of Kane was fostered by Pauline Kael. You can read her two articles that shifted the historical and scholarly view of the film here.

That's your Game of Thrones cologne, I think, Eau du Hodor.

I hold a Master of Arts in insulting!

Matt. I like how the faces have just a subtle hint of colour in them. nice touch.

I just scrolled down to say the same thing. That's lovely, lovely work Matt!

Wolf -- I'm never sure with the RotN stuff, which parts are yours, and which parts are part of the commons?

Stupot -- I like that you don't have to change your color palette going from Roger to your character!

Good luck with this! I was just thinking of the challenge because yesterday, a sequel was released to probably the best thing to come out of 24-Hour Comic Day -- Far Arden (the sequel is called Crater XV).

I've always wanted to do this myself, but the timing of the official day never works for me. Maybe I'll give it a try later in the fall, if you can prove to be an inspiration?

sad music (preferably violin) and sad way of singing (I don't like rap at all).

This is off-topic for the thread at hand, but since you asked, here's a track listing for a mix tape I made a few years ago that was designed to take the listener on a museum tour of different kinds of sadness and then lead you out again:

1. Johnny Cash (featuring Nick Cave) - I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
2. Stephen Malkmus - Church on White
3. Magnetic Fields - All My Little Words
4. Wilco (with Billy Bragg) - At My Window Sad and Lonely
5. Beck - Lost Cause
6. Belle & Sebastian - I'm Waking Up to Us
7. Grandaddy - Saddest Vacant Lot in All the World
8. Fugazi - I'm So Tired
9. Hank Williams - Long Gone Lonesome Blues
10. Billy Joel - And So It Goes
11. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Singer
12. Ben Folds - Cigarette
13. John Prine - Paradise
14. Tom Waits - Broken Bicycles
15. Gordon Lightfoot - Early Morning Rain
16. The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset
17. Kris Kristofferson - Sunday Morning Coming Down
18. Tom Waits - I'm Still Here
19. Warren Zevon - Reconsider Me
20. Magnetic Fields - I Don't Want to Get Over You

If you run a MIDI file of "No Surprises" through an 8-bit music generator, you get the greatest NES song of all time.

Anthony Perkins. I spent a long time trying to figure out what horror film had both Janet Leigh and Anthony Hopkins!

Somebody...WHAM, I think, mentioned a game called Scratches in another thread. I wasn't frightened by the scenario he mentioned, but later on, there's a string stab when a silhouette passes by that actually did cause me to tense up. Part of it is in the editing and timing.

Every day this week, I'm going to pretend to be a different person who hasn't answered this question before to spotlight some of my favorite underappreciated genres of music. I am a person who literally listens to a little bit of everything.

So today, I like ragtime/Piedmont blues music. Here are four representative songs:

Frank Stokes - Stomp That Thing
Memphis Jug Band - On the Road Again (warning: lyrics contain "the n-word")
Etta Baker - Carolina Breakdown
Henry Thomas - Fishin' Blues

Will there be more video this year? I won't be able to make it in person, but would contribute a little if there was a chance of video as in previous years.

Who am I kidding? I will likely contribute anyway!
