Pretty sure whoever wins has several thousand other fights to look forward to.
I mean, it's Felicia.

Yes. What about Nine Thousand employees of Viacom,the terrorist organization that should be trust busted!

Would you knock it off about Viacom already? It's bad enough that I had to deal with the Bob vs. Google thing about a month ago, but having you go on and on about an episode involving YouTube that happened years ago is getting annoying really fast.
Also, comparing Viacom to people who shamelessly murder people when all they ever did was file a lawsuit or two against a free video uploading site? Very cute similarities, kiddo.

There will be many NPC characters to talk to.
NPC sprites:

Portraying coprorations as murderous criminal organizations is a hallmark of social satire and parody. He's not doing anything out of the box at all with this, and it can be seen in all kinds of things. I mean, it was basically the entire premise of Monsters Inc.
So I mean, the only issue with that is continuing to expose yourself to something you know annoys you.
Not to say that his game isn't a heap right now, but you kind of just went for the jugular instead of the game. And without good intention. At all.

Yeah, I got a little carried away there, Kriven.
To rephrase what I said in a more positive manner, Ethan, I think your game would benefit if you used a parody of Viacom at most instead of using the real deal.

Team V(a viacom parody) in this game is a fusion of Viacom,The Pigmask army,Slender Man and Team Rocket,rather than 100 percent based on Viacom.
and I have seen YouTube Poops before and spent months making 8 of them(3 were deleted,and yes,viacom deleted one of my 3 lost ones)

Mmhm.
RE: A war vs Viacom(or how five characters return youtube back to the way it was) - Kriven - 01-01-2014
Your game takes place across the Internet and in comic books and you are unwilling to disregard the canonical backstory of characters for a more appropriate proxy form which wouldn't have the hang ups preventing these heroes from teaming up?

Let's not forget about this part, guys.

So, I get that Viacom is the "ultimate evil" and all that, but how come Burger King is okay in Ethan's book? It's hardly different from any giant fast food chain out there and it even made some promotional deals with Viacom on occasion.
RE: A war vs Viacom(or how five characters return youtube back to the way it was) - Kriven - 01-01-2014
I don't think Burger King makes bogus intellectual properties claims.
It's big and bad, but it's not even remotely the same kind of big and bad.
RE: A war vs Viacom(or how five characters return youtube back to the way it was) - E-Man - 01-02-2014
Point taken, Kriven. While I haven't seen Burger King take down any videos on YouTube, the idea of promoting one mega corporation and bashing another one at the same time feels a little wrong to me.
RE: A war vs Viacom(or how five characters return youtube back to the way it was) - Kriven - 01-02-2014
I dunno... Corporations are all different and behave differently. Just because Walmart is evil doesn't mean CostCo is (they might be, but I've been lead to believe they aren't).
Additionally, we don't really know what he intends on doing with Burger King. They aren't the given central focus, so probably aren't "The Enemy". At the same time, he might intend on making Burger King's betrayal be a "twist" in his story. *Shrug*

This game should just be named Youtube Poop: The Game. Link, Moshu, The King, Mario, Luigi, and other poop characters are your allies. And instead of Viacom being the final boss, the Final Boss of the internet will be the actual final boss.
But no seriously, What on earth is the point of all this?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing the idea of the game here. But I'm a little confused with how you're approaching this game OP. So far you want the story to be about how much Viacom held a huge shit fit with youtube and started pulling copyright claims on youtube a good 8 or 9 years ago and throwing in random characters in the game.
I mean, for all I care you could make a game out of something relevant with youtube in the present day, like the copyright bullshit that's been going on between lets play people and video game companies. And you can still have characters like scout, luigi, kolana or whoever you want in there and you could probably throw in EgoRaptor, Rubber Ninja, Jon Tron, and Oney and you might just get away with it.
It's not that I think it's a bad idea, but your pulling crap out of your ass and putting it on an idea board without really thinking about this. I've been in this position before kid, and if you ignore the criticism people give you OP you will end up getting a lot of heat on you for your ideas. And I honestly have to say this sounds like something an 11 year old kid would make up so far.
Trust me here OP, listen to what others say and don't bother trying to ignore them or defend your self with some random idea like Viacom being a group of terrorists... Unless you want to make it so that PeTA is a terrorist organization that isn't taken seriously. That would actually be kind of funny.
