Phil Viscer has a post up at his blog that explains pretty much everything about the NBC debacle. I was wrong about several key facts, so you need to read his account if you want to know the real story. It is both better and worse than I expected. Better, because the cutting wasn’t something the show’s creators agreed to. They no longer own the rights to Veggie Tales, and had no say in the matter. It’s nice to know that Vischer isn’t gutting his show for a buck.
But the news is bad for all the same reasons. Veggie Tales is owned by a secular company who does not value the central message and who is willing to re-shape the thing to make it profitable. “God made you special and he loves you very much” has been replaced with “thanks for coming to my house.”
I don’t have much to add to my previous comments, except to say that this is a rotten way for things to have turned out.
MMO Population Problems
Computers keep getting more powerful. So why do the population caps for massively multiplayer games stay about the same?
Final Fantasy X
A game about the ghost of an underwater football player who travels through time to save the world from a tick that controls kaiju satan. Really.
Lost Laughs in Leisure Suit Larry
Why was this classic adventure game so funny in the 80's, and why did it stop being funny?
Skylines of the Future
Cities: Skylines is bound to have a sequel sooner or later. Where can this series go next, and what changes would I like to see?
Good to be the King?
Which would you rather be: A king in the middle ages, or a lower-income laborer in the 21st century?
Bah! VeggieTales should be respected as part of the counter culture!
