This is awesome. I think I'll stay awake the whole night, giggling sat those ads.

Speaking of which, the price for one is 7.20 right now. What do you  think it'll be in a few hours?

I'm sure Hussie is loving all this free money.  Huh, clicking on it even goes to MSPA.

I think somebody did a parody edit with one of those to add Vriska.

The "porn fairy" one if I'm not mistaken.  I'm pretty sure that just floated around the boards without ever being an ad.  Wouldn't surprise me though.

 It seems fans are starting to hijack his ads to post these, so it might just resurface.

Hussie has a Tumblr now.

Hussie has a Tumblr now.

I'd quote it, but really his first three posts are all pure gold.  I wonder how long the minimalist design will last, since he just started typing an hour ago.

My only complaint about tumblr as a software-solution is trying to navigate back in pages, since you have to scroll to the bottom of each page and hit Back over and over.

3) Amazon S3, etc? I’ve looked into a bunch of things like this. It’s expensive. Under usual circumstances, it costs several thousand dollars every month to host MSPA. And I’m fine with floating that cost myself, from ad revenue and sales, and making the business side of things work to sustain it. This is a little different. A conservative estimate has the cost at $10K for one day. This is not considering excessive page reloads, the aftershocks of hosting it for the following weeks, or an unanticipated viral explosion beyond the already high expected traffic. Could be anywhere from $10K to $100K to host this one stupid file, which is bankruptcy territory. It’s not worth that to put out a little free entertainment, frankly. If I posted that kind of content for such an audience every month, I’d find some business strategy to make that work. But I’m not there yet. Also, I’m not gonna do some sort of fund drive to finance this either. I’m sure that would produce some results, but it just doesn’t sit well with me as the answer.

So I’m working on more creative alternatives for handling this. I’ll let you know.

He's still struggling with a hosting solution, the evening before.  That ain't good, if totally understandable.  Interesting line in there...

Oh God, he's got something on his mind.  Let the speculation commence.

$100 000!!?

 

Bloody hell... just... damn.

[kaijyuu]

Just how big is this thing? Several gigs?

MSPA: Now in pay per view!
But seriously, I don't see what the problem is. I know of a site that will host large video files for free, and I'm sure they have the server capacity to handle this. They even allow you to place an embedded URL on your own site.

Read the Tumblr post. Specifically, this;

1) I’m not going to host it on youtube. Or render it in video format at all. I don’t want it to be a video. I want it to be Flash. If I thought I was going to end up rendering a video, I would have planned the project for video output accordingly. Perhaps used After Effects. It’s a completely different kind of media. This option is not going to happen.

[Aqizzar]

He specifically said he doesn't want it to be a video.  Dedicated the whole first line of his tumblr post to it.  He says he wants the quality-control and specific style of a flash animation, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's an interactive element of some form, even if just a button.  EDIT: Yep, exactly.

I predict he's going to land on his fallback option of just hosting a torrent off-site, at least for the first week after release.

So I've been thinking a bit and I've come up with this insane crackpot thing:

IDE/Theory: That's not Bec Noir in the trolls' session. It's WV, after killing Noir.

Nope.

So hey, might as well imagedump.  Before I do though, I'll let some space build up, and just link this thing.  The entire rest of the tumblr is pure shit, and so is the video, but it's Lexxy singing crap Engrish, so it's cool.

DAMN YOU HUSSIE

Mr. Hussie needs to talk to Tom Fulp, immediately :/

Newgrounds will host SWF over 10 megabytes if they are not filled with crap.

To do that he needs to contact Tom Fulp personally.

She has a surprising number of decent accents. I watched an Amnesia stream she co-hosted and was asked to do the various notes in various accents.

 Something about a kawaii bad understanding of english Japanese accent talking about people being split in two and their blood being drained for mad experiments.
