I feel like every scene I draw for Gilt is a real struggle and I am never satisfied, but then I put the character sprites over my WIPs and seeing them hanging out in that world makes me happy.

I love this idea. My dad died when I was three and I had to figure out simple things like how to tie a tie and even shave on my own. Please retweet this because I know there are a lot of kids out there who could use some help with day to day life.

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in their first proper team up, DUCK SOUP (no relation). They play, ahem, gentlemen of leisure on the run from the forest service, which is attempting to press the homeless into fighting fires. The basic plot was later remade in their talkie ANOTHER FINE MESS.

There's a growing number of games that have apparently fallen foul of Steam's 'No because we say so' rule that are still being happily sold on other major storefronts like GOG.
