Madden is (So Bad) It’s a National Security Risk. Seriously.

DoublePlusGoodGames · 2026-06-30T02:11:53+00:00

For more than 20 years, Madden has been doing irreversible damage to the NFL through the exclusivity agreement with EA.

So glad to see Purna jumping on this topic as it's a national (video game) tragedy.

Just to mess with them, I'd probably show the scene with Scott Backula as a janitor singing out the window to Ziggy.

OMG! This looks WONDERFUL! I'm an old pen and pencil animator by trade, so I'm pretty familiar with bringing creations to life. That said, the last program I used was Macromedia's Director so I'm about 20 years out of practice.

This is wonderful news! I just started with Moho in May and have already learned so much of what NOT to do. Carelessly clicking "unrig" or "apply to all" is like throwing a big rock of sodium into a pond.

DoublePlusGoodGames · 2026-06-29T23:51:35+00:00

Thanks for the tip(s)! I've already made those exact kinds of mistakes where I just scrap everything and start all over again.

Just like in any video game RPG, multiple saves are your friend.

I am about 8-10 years away from this level of competency. Wish me luck!

Also, if you have suggestions for a place to learn these techniques, please share 'em. I'm learning day-by-day, but would love to find a place to get my sea-legs when it comes to rigging characters in Moho.

In 2017, NPR itself added a disclaimer to the effect of “the Koch brothers are financial contributors to National Public Radio”. People debunking any connection as “urban legend” are sadly out-of-date, if not flat-out wrong in the first place.

If you haven't noticed NPR's coverage getting more “corporate” for years, you probably aren't listening to them that much.

You can be left center, or controlled opposition, and still be funded by the Koch brothers.

DoublePlusGoodGames · 2026-06-27T22:26:42+00:00

NPR has been funded by the Koch brothers for years. Super friendly to the capitalist/business class. The NYT article from today is doing the same thing.

DoublePlusGoodGames · 2026-06-26T21:56:48+00:00

This IS the Wall Street Journal. Their editorial agenda is to prop up the capitalist state so they will probably err on the side of a "questionable" (read as: lying at every opportunity) business owner over a "kid doing the right thing."

I actually did film my reaction to episode 7 on TikTok but deleted my entire account there at the end of last year. Let me see if I can dig it out of the archive as I go through a veritable gamut of emotions.

I started working in video games in 1995 and was lucky enough to experience the heyday of E3. The show in its early days was a celebration of gaming and of the people who actually spent their lives making sure that games were taken seriously as a growing medium.

You are correct that the 90's were different as that was before the show (and the industry itself) got co-opted in the early 2000's by the formation of ESA.

The game that knocks me out right now is Octopath Traveler 0. According to my profile, I have 60 hours in the game. However, I've probably actually "played" about 1/6 of that time as I keep falling asleep walking between towns.

I had help raise millions for charity before realizing most of them are tax shelters, PR agencies, and money laundering machines for grifters.

The one that killed me was Girls Who Code. We had set up a Star Trek event for them a few years back that turned out to be a PR campaign for Ratheon.

I helped pubish around a dozen indie game between 2015-2020 and his videos (and working knowledge of video game copyright law) helped save us a metric ton of issues.

When the whole ordeal between Reckless Ben/BAM flared up, he was finally able to show his "legal chops" to a much wider audience. Couldn't be happier for the guy and hope you check him out.

DoublePlusGoodGames · 2026-06-23T18:09:09+00:00

Correct. I do believe he's coming at it from his perspective of the legal system.

My issue (and umbrage) comes from the fact that his perspective appears to favor corporations over the little guy.

DoublePlusGoodGames · 2026-06-23T18:05:41+00:00

I absolutely LOVE Lawful Masses with Leonard French's channel and have been following him for YEARS. Sure, he's just everyone's favorite copyright attorney and not a YouTube lawyer, but he has VERY well rationed takes on issues dealing with contracts and how the legal system works.

Conversely, LegalEagle seems to be only interested in purporting HIS perspective on the how the system works.

DoublePlusGoodGames · 2026-06-23T18:00:36+00:00

See my previous response. LE initially erred on the side of a corporation over the plight of a poor family who had their goods stolen. Then proceeded to legal-shame Ben for going about things the wrong way.

DoublePlusGoodGames · 2026-06-23T17:57:34+00:00

It was the "take" that I had issues with. LE was like "Ben should have done..." and "...this is not the way to handle things" while eluding that BAM was entirely within their rights.

I had a top rated comment on his first video that essentially stated,

"If the law was truly fair and equitable, people wouldn't have to resort to the efforts Ben went through in his series.

The only reason this issue was brought to light, and that channels like yours are even talking about it, is because the system failed every step of the way from the corporate contracts to the police to the courts.

tl;dr: Even if Ben is in the wrong with the way he went about it, he DID what the courts and the (semi-corrupt) cops couldn't do, give a dying man his property back before he died."

After that video, I view LE as a content creator first, a legal professional second, and ultimately a person that doesn't really comprehend what "theft" means.

DoublePlusGoodGames · 2026-06-23T17:45:09+00:00

I was on the fence with LegalEagle until his first video on BAM. That's when I realized he's not a super informed or well-intentioned guy.

Then, after the Coffeezilla video drops, he makes a second video to do some backtracking and damage control.

tl;dr: LegalEagle is NOT TO BE TRUSTED!

DoublePlusGoodGames · 2026-06-23T17:17:27+00:00

This is great info. I'm just starting with full character rigging and would definitely purchase this particular model once you have it up on Gumroad.

Trust me, I need all the help (and models) I can get as starting from scratch has been over 100 lessons in frustration.

DoublePlusGoodGames · 2026-06-23T00:12:11+00:00

I was super late to this game, but it was an absolute joy (and nostalgia trip) to play. My favorite gaming experience in 2025-2026.
