I already wrote about my history with Pokemon in the Philosophy of Pokemon panel write-up from Quinni-Con. I didn’t mention that I own a game from each generation, though I think that’s implied. Pokemon X/Y, the sixth generation of Pokemon…
A brief refresher: I have a partner store with GameFanShop for Sketchy Details. They offer discounts on over a 1000 different PC game downloads. If you shop at my partner store, I get a small commission on the sale to…
While I was at rehearsal for a theater fundraiser yesterday, I got an e-mail that I just have to share with you. I receive a lot of these notices and rarely run with them on Sketchy Details. They normally read…
I grew up on Disney. My parents took me to Disney World before I could even form complete sentences and walk the whole day. My grandmother painted Mickey Mouse figures on my bedroom walls and the whole family saw every…
I’m going to format this post a little differently this week. You still find out about all the great deals at my partner store with GameFanShop that helps keep Sketchy Details up and running. You just might see them all…
Though the shows expected to rack up the nominations–Pippin, Matilda, Kinky Boots, and Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike–did just that, the 67th Annual Tony Award Nominations were filled with surprises. The biggest shocker, to me, is that the…
I’m very pleased with how Sketchy Details has been going this month. As I’ve long suspected, if I don’t take the weekend off, I keep my work pace up and feel better about the quality of the content on the…

The true story of an impressive act of trolling to teach game pirates that pirating games costs developers money and possibly their business. Greenheart Games released a game about developing video games. They put a cracked version on torrent sites with a built in glitch: hit the Internet age and you start hemorrhaging money because of piracy.
What happens when pirates play a game development simulator and then go bankrupt because of piracy?
Bleeding Cool almost buried the lead on this one. Shane Black’s adaptation of the incredible noir manga Death Note is still happening. And apparently some Doc Savage film thing is happening, too. But those two sentences on Death Note? Brilliant. The live action Japanese adaptation is solid and the anime is one of my favorites. Very excited to see when this finally goes into production.
And in PayPal is still evil news, Paypal refused to release crowdfunding to Skullgirls developer Lab Zero because they refused to acknowledge that the money was raised for development, not product. Paypal wouldn’t give up the money unless Lab Zero agreed to be 100% responsible for refunds on a product people pre-paid for in a game they already own and enjoy enough to prepay for product. All but $35,000 have been released now but the story’s not over. Lab Zero is out for blood and will be filing complaints to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because no other bank or banking service pulls this nonsense.
