Robot Unicorn Attack Idea = Stolen?
« on: May 16, 2010, 08:10:49 pm »

I knew I'd seen it before, somewhere. Warning, spoilers from Dr McNinja. =(

I am very disappointed.

And an image for you lazy buggers.

What are we discussing?  A Dr. McNinja comic?

It's surprisingly hard to draw Unicorn droppings...

So, because Dr. McNinja used a unicorn, a creature that the artist did not invent, other uses of unicorns are stolen ideas?

This is clearly not meant in a serious vein. You are intended to laugh, not react with snide indignation.

He posted the same comic twice, I don't know what he's saying was stolen or what; this thread is a half formed idea.

So from what I understand?
A comic with the spy sleeping in the woods leads to him watching a unicorn bath it's horn in water then it explodes and he yells YAY!~
what? ???

Dr. McNinja steps in Unicorn poop.

Pathos, in typical troll fashion, is accusing Adult Swim of ripping off Dr. McNinja in some half baked theory that belongs with the rest of the conspiracy theories.

I don't think it's trolling so much as he'll start a thread for any random thing what pops into his head and then add "Discuss?" as if to make it a meaningful environment for discussion.

Could we all just slow down and explain what Robot Unicorn Attack is, for the slower members of the audience?

And what did they steal, Robots? Unicorns? Doctors? Ninjas? Because I'm pretty sure the creator of Doctor McNinja invented all of those.

You doubt the depths of meaning inherent in my posts!

YOU DID NOT ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. They were direct questions. I do not understand the premise of this thread.

I've played Canabalt and I am not making the connection.

They are one or two button games, where you proceed upon a linear 2d path avoiding obstacles, jumping over gaps and traveling steadily faster. Both require near split second reflexes at higher speed. While RUA is slightly easier due to lacking nearly blind jumps. The basic gameplay of RUA is ripped straight out of canabalt with the addition of a bash and double jump being the only deviations. Where Canabalt takes a semi-realistic minimalist style in it's graphics, RUA goes for a more cartoonish style.
