Which can't compare to this.

I guess it would be a really bad time to mention Battling Seizure Robots!

I prefer http://www.seizurerobots.com/

I've used their flashing background on a multi monitor setup and my co-worker wouldn't stop talking about it. Of course, most of the things they said weren't very nice.

Shouldn't this be on the list? It has a bunch of dating ads on the bottom now, but it didn't use to. I love the music!

Sounds like a great way to broadcast these fellows

Are you kidding?? I can't wait until this page gets an RSS feed!

Useless trivia: that page is actually the #1 hit (on Google, of course) for "seizure"

It's also useful for viewing http://www.seizurerobots.com/.

We now return to Battling Seizure Robots!

when my anime-induced seizures start. I can deal with the artwork. I can deal with the stories. What I can't deal with is the lack of fluidity in the motion of "anime"tion. It really looks like they cut corners and use two, maybe three frames per second so they can churn out movies like puppy mills. It hurts my eyes. Remember the Killer Japanese Seizure Robots?

Does it bother anyone else that this page has 65 ads on it? It frickin' hurts to read, it's almost as bad as http://www.seizurerobots.com/!

Also it bugs me that this guy has to rant and rave about Java, but he can only come up with eight "uncool reasons" to debunk. C'mon man, the standard Top Ten list has TEN items.

Argh! My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

Is that your site? For the love of god, do not use red text on blue.

Kinda reminds me of an old Simpsons joke.

not going to help the older consumers

That's what grandchildren are for...

Gamy, can we watch the Killer Japanese Battle Seizure Robots? (don't click if you're epileptic...)
I'll show how to make a copy...

• Approaching holiday - Christmas brings about the hottest season in retail, and publishers want to capitalize on this by releasing new titles in time for this. The Christmas push is less pressing for smaller studios that distribute outside of retail.
• Media event - E3 is when all the gaming companies and all the gaming press come together and pretty much stand around in a competition to see who can avoid having a seizure (flash/audio). Or, such was my take on it. There's a huge PR incentive to have content prepared for this event; more eyeballs translates into more potential sales.
• Publisher-imposed milestone - Publishers can withhold payment or cancel projects outright if a team misses milestones; if you're nearing such a deadline, the extra hours may be the difference between a happy publisher and a cranky one.
• Competition - You might have a solid first-person shooter, but if it's released concurrent with Doom III or Half-Life 2, there's a good chance it'll be overlooked. If you own the UHF DVD, you'll hear Al Yankovic lament that his movie went up against Batman, Indiana Jones, Lethal Weapon II, among others. You may also have your favorite game that was underrated due to poor timing. (Fortunately, there's always the possibility of a sequel.)
• Budgetary constraints - Especially crucial if a development house is self-funding a title. If a generous publisher sees a promising project go over-budget, they might extend it. If an independent studio runs out of money for going over schedule, it must secure more financing.
• Loss of staff - This can be devastating at project-end. There's no time to train new staff; existing members must take up the slack.

Seizure robots, anyone?

Japanese Seizure Robots!

(Don't click if you really get seizures!)

Here's a great URL for your son to read up on other kids in similar conditions; was really helpful for kids I know going through this hell.

...keep your child away from this site.

Goddamit, Gollum, will you stop fucking pimping Huminity already?!!!

Mecha like these?

If exactly the right person looked at it, Killer Japanese Seizure Robots would kill them.

That hasn't happened yet, but it's probably just a matter of time.

Japanese robot went on rampage in SCO HQ

Just when I think it can't get any more fucked up, it goes and completely redeems itself with some insanely cool thing, inevitably involving a further step towards giant Killer Japanese Seizure Robots!.

Don't click here

I've got an awsome idea, but I can't figure out how to silk screen a <blink> tag!!!

Wake me up when someone makes a movie of The Killer Japanese Seizure Robots.

Let's hope so!

No. If anything it's probably the fifteen beers my friends and I have before we start thinking about playing Goldeneye. I can pass the Seizure Robots test just fine :).
