What's Bugging You Today? Volume 3, Part 1

[Josh]

You should, imo. Shit is 100% legit.

[Razor Ramon]

I like omelets more than I like sunny-side up eggs. Still, it may make my morning routine more convenient.

[Josh]

Breakfast sandwich in 2 minutes (give or take)

Legit.

[Rumpy]

My paid Snow Day on Friday suddenly turned into a Use a Vacation Day or Suck It Day. Ugh.

[Razor Ramon]

I've had those before, too!

I'm going to go in to his history while he's at lunch (or at the mosque) and try to find what terms he was searching. If that fails I'll find the sites he's using to find images and spend an hour or so browsing search terms that describe the artwork. I will also check his PSDs to be sure before all of this. If they are literally flat with 1 or 2 layers I will know he had to have stole them. If they are complicated with multiple layers I will just give him the credit he deserves for being truly fast as fuck. I don't think that is going to be the case, though. The artwork was sophisticated with texture. Would take more than 3 hours to come up with 3 concepts like that.

You could, you know, get over it?

[Fe 26]

Yeah, gameboy games that have dead batteries, controllers that don't work,etc.
I used to cut the cords on controllers before I tossed them, but now everything is wireless.

Like normal gameboy games?

I might buy some of that off of you. I need something to put some home brew stuff in.

EDIT: Minus shit and piss. I know, I know, I'm no fun.

[Mr-K]

unngggh, my laptop fan burned out. My desktop won't turn on without a keyboard plugged into the port, and I don't have one.

Guess I'll hog my mother's.

[Grave]

The egg and muffin toaster is still more convenient but boil a little bit of water in a pan, crack an egg into a well-greased ramekin, break up the yolk a little, pop it in there and cover for a few minutes and you have the perfect McMuffin-y egg puck for badass breakfast sandwiches.

Buttcheeks code for being a huge pussy.

I'm not going to sit by while somebody is stealing other peoples work and passing it up as his own. For one it's a slap in the face to people doing their work authentically, both in our studio and to other artists. For two it could lead to major lawsuits if the company he's ripping off finds out or the agency that did the work finds out. That would fuck up my resume big time. I don't want to put a company on there that has been uncovered as plagiarizing and stealing work. Because they will associate you with stealing.

By the way he is plagiarizing. I checked his system out yesterday. Not to the extent I thought. Sometimes he just uses an image he finds on Shutterstock and puts words over it, which isn't stealing, just lazy. But he has stolen for some of his layouts. I'm writing up a report right now with details and sending it off to the Operations VP.
