Our cat has discovered that the most efficient way to get fed in the morning is to bite my fiancee until she makes me do it.  Biting me doesn't work, I just push and/or throw the cat in response.

Mine tried this once and ended up on the floor across the room.

my cat never saw the end of the bowl.  she usually only makes a scene when i feed her wet food as a treat, she goes completelly crazy to the point of climbing up my legs while meowing desperately, while i'm still opening the food packet

Seriously though. At more than a page of cats, maybe it's time for a cat thread.

So he's replaced the "I ♥ Hookerbots" T-shirts with "I ♥ Telgara: Suns of Karta" followed by an odd design.  How exactly a succubus or frogthing represents the super open ended gameplay and GUILD BANKS he hopes to achieve isn't clear.

No, thats the Hookerbots which have clearly eclipsed all other features.

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

Tineye didn't find any results for the pictures, so I guess he actually is getting someone to draw this stuff for him.

The 'dragongirl' has goats legs, something commonly associated with satan and daemons, not dragons. If you hadn't already checked if they original pictures I'd say the obvious reason would be stealing art and not being smart enough to realise what they are stealing, but if it isn't stolen I wonder how you would make that mistake.

I thought it was actually just a succubus...

The name of the picture is 'dragongirl_concept_3', but yeah it's pretty obviously some type of daemons with a succubus being a likely candidate.

Also in the forum thread linked apparently he held hope the kickstarter could succeed (though at least he said he doubted it- but still should have lost hope a long time ago), and believes he can make it in 3 months using the $25K he's apparently raised (mostly his own money I guess).

Also I know this has already been mentioned, but here's a funny quote.
"It could have been at the bequest of a larger game company. I won't name it, but it sure can make you feel like you are left out in a blizzard."
Master of subtlety (and self delusion) at work here.

In fact just go and read that entire linked thread now. It's a goldmine, it really is.

How the hell do you convince yourself a project that is insulted almost universally by the internet worries a giant like Blizzard?

Copious amounts of pizza, until you start hallucinating? Maybe then you roll around nekkid in your Scrooge McDuck vault full of money and when you emerge you're like "Yeah, they're all out to get me. From gamers to megacorps, it's a conspiracy!"

At least he's still delivering on the entertainment, well after his Kickstarter ended.

Its like a train wreck where they keep sending more trains down the same line. So horribly horribly wrong yet so amazing to watch.

@nenjin: Come on, man, be reasonable. He is way too uncool to use all that money for a Scrooge McDuck vault.
