This. It will be le edgy internet cartoon that probably would have blown minds back in 2010. It will be a success because people have already made up their minds they like it, but this is basically going to be a poppee the performer ripoff that pushes the violence envelope a bit further.
It's too early to say anything for certain. I'm often pretty cynical when it comes to these indie shows, but I can't help but like the direction this is going in.
It seems like a show run by committed individuals with a vision for what they're doing.
If it stays away from the "le edgy violence and swearing" to make something genuinely deranged and left of field, I could see it being very good.
Cinemaphile is only good for having the most cynical takes on anything at all hours of the day.
So I guess you fit right in, except for in regards to this show.
I’ll admittedly be impressed if the show feels smart. From the little we’ve seen and heard about this, I get the impression it’s going to rely heavily on shock value. It’s basically a bunch of beings trapped in a surreal space being made to endure horrible things. I hope there’s more to it than a ‘pit and the pendulum’ type deal. That trope has been done to death.
The showrunner pitched it as "I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream with the visuals of an I-Spy book" so I have hopes that it will be at least somewhat clever.
From an initial viewing of the few sources,
Considering we have seen several characters get stuck with knives without any apparent feeling of pain, alongside the inherently bizarre and incorporeal designs of some of them, it would seem to suggest that they aren't going to be subject to anything so simple as pain or torture.
This also means they can't die, though.
Furthermore, the Teeth guys intentions seem to not be inherently malicious. He did not try to throw knives into the jester in the teaser, if his dialogue is to be believed
Of course, he is still holding people forcibly, and doing something to their minds that makes them forget their names, so there's that.
The horror part seems to be more taken from them being ripped from their regular existences to live forever in an unchanging, colour saturated realm created by an utterly alien creature which doesn't know enough about humans beyond them liking fun and games to create a world which doesn't drive them completely insane.
Or it could be like that one Star Trek episode of Black Mirror, where the developer downloaded copies of real life people into his own private video game.
And did not so very nice things to them if they didn't play along with his fantasies.

Gooseworx never relied on shock value in her previous animations, you're making some wild assumptions. I recommend you watch them to get an idea of her style of humor, honestly I'd be surprised if it ends up being overly bitter or violent.
Side note: I'm not even gonna watch the show. Based on the trailer it fits into the genre of things I find irritating to watch. I just like pomni because of my clown obsession even though she's not exactly a clown and more like a clown themed puppet.

Is that how Pomni is going to get a guy looking at her
Haven't watched the trailer or anything so wasn't sure
From what I can tell the jester character is the main character in the sense that she(?) is the most recent addition to the titular Digital Circus
All of the rest of the cast are similarly trapped, and would assumedly carry a prominent role. I'd imagine the one called Jax will be especially important, due to him being voiced by the VA for Lackadaisy and Murder Drones, and the doll one, considering it is responsible for the main expository dump.
The exception is the teeth guy.
He would seem to be the ringmaster/ one who put them there and thus, the arbiter of whatever wacky hijinks and horrors await them.

No clue. I absolutely fricking love Gooseworx's work. Elain, Darly Boxman and the like have this bizaro factor that is incredibly funny to me so I am hoping for more of that. I know it is going to be more story focused than his other stuff though so that could make or break it.
Goose is cool and seems like a chill person and all but I refuse to take part in gender ideology.
I am still disappointed that my favorite female animator turned out to be a guy.
the funny part is Goose is probably the one trans person who doesn't lose her shit about people misgendering her. It's also interesting how gender identity isn't big part of Goose's actual identity per se, you rarely see that narrative in her work.
>either give me an answer
i mean, you need a long healthy build up for a mystery to be fulfilling. The "pretending" is usually the build up. If you want immediate answers you're a complete moron.
Now if the shows ends in a confusing way, then you have all right to call it out for it, but you can't know that till the thing is done.
Gooseworx animations aren't mysterious at all, anon. They just take place in a weird and silly world. If you watch Elain or Ghost of the Year and think "What is the deeper meaning behind this?" then I am afraid you might be moronic.
what makes you so certain that there isn't a deeper meaning? you wouldn't look at something like DHMIS and say "there's no deeper meaning, this is entirely surface level", i presume

DHMIS has clear themes from the first episode of the web series about the banality of children's programing and how creativity in children isn't as encouraged as it should be.
Elain has a silly triangle lady doing wacky slapstick things.
I am sure Amazing Digital Circus will be a lot deeper but Gooseworx's current catalog shouldn't really confuse anyone.
new promo pic, clown vomit
Rad. This reminds me a lot of a Disney paint program that I got at a book fair back in the day.
Good news for you in this case, Goose doesn't care. This is why i do respect her over other trannies, she doesn't force the gender narrative nor she cares about other people's opinions. You can call her him, that changes no much in this case.
I'm expecting Gooseworx but TV episode length and it's most likely what I'm getting. Very excited for it.
Love the design of everything, love the music and voice acting. Should be good.
Agreed and even more quality indie stuff is great for animation in general. Say what you want about lackadaisy, MD, helluva etc but at least it offers an alternative to networkslop which has been a total let down for years. I hope all of these shows do well, and I'm really excited to see what gooseworx/glitch bring to the table.

Does anyone else feel like Pomni's design is like, way better than every other character?
She's skirting the edge of viziepop overdesign but not quite crossing it. But she makes all the other characters except the ringmaster dude look super bland by comparison.
Maybe design-wise, but at the same time, the animation helps elevate the others. I still love the effect of Ragatha's mouth not really opening or closing, but refracting light to serve as teeth.
Someone also said that despite how different they look, they all still have consistent elements that make them fit together, like how most of the characters have identical hands.
I actually get you. As far as visuals go this doesn't seem to have a ton of appeal. Pomni is the most put together because it's a jester and it clearly reads "sad little jester". The king is alright, I get "fake king" or "simpleton king" out of it. The ringleader is good - giant mechanical teeth imply the dude's a talker.
But I'm not feeling the others. The rabbit's a badguy I guess but eh... not seeing it. Ragatha's a ragdoll. Not really sure what I'm reading there.
The sets look bland. The whole thing looks cheap, and it might be due to how bad Youtube is for this kind of content. Like there's zero, ZERO guarantee it'll show it to anyone, especially if it only appeals to a niche audience.
Hasbin was lucky it was accessible to enough people to still get viewers. Monkeywrench looked good but the writing and sound wasn't there and it's hardcore bombing when you look at production costs. What even else is there recently...?
Oh, uh, I guess Worthikids is doing good, but each episode is short and affordable so there's less risk.
Anyway point is Goose's show looks cheap and that might be because it's going to be cheap.

From a narrative standpoint, I can appreciate the designs. Their being forced into blatantly fake, ugly, nonsensical bodies appeals to me far more than if they were something more "cool" - in light of the sadistic nature of the circus.
The appearance of the Digital circus also equally sells the bizzarre, artificial nature of the setting, with the unwavering artificial lighting and plastic-y primary colours a constant reminder of the confines.
However, from a non-contextual aesthetic standpoint, these are not good choices. If you show the art to someone unaware of the "Trapped in an early 2000s hellscape" premise and tell them what they think, they will tell you it is not attractive.
yeah a lot of the characters designs are going to come down to how well they are animated it is a 2d animator put in a 3d showrunner position a lot of 2d stuff gets weird with more direct ports murder drones had the same issues and it looks like gooses answer was to let the animator have a lot of say on the designs pomni and caine are the only ones could call gooseworx designs just from sight (maybe zooble or kinger) and loosing one of your edges of distinctive designs right off the bat not a good sign.
its not a killshot on its own though again really gonna come down to animation quality and the trailer does look good for that at least shows strength is gonna be really dependent on its writing and animation and goose does not really have the kind of track record liam does for longer projects and low budget indie does not scream great confidence for keeping high animation quality digital circus may be a really good movie pitch but plenty of cracks that could get bad in a longer show.
>2d animator put in a 3d showrunner position a lot of 2d stuff gets weird with more direct ports murder drones had the same issues
Murder Drones pulls it off really well though? And they completely avoid the potential uncanny valley situation of 3D humans by making humans shadowed-out in the Drones' memories. I don't recall any of the issues you are referencing being prevalent in Murder Drones - apart fron the slightly janky mocap in some parts of the Pilot (which they since stopped using).
yes because murder drones had a way better transfer of liams 2d style to 3d than goose's style got.
a lot of the design choices for the drones were made explicitly to help transfer liams style to 3d.
try to imagine that signature psycho grin on a somewhat proportional human try rendering a human skin tone too and it just gets freaky.
the murder drones designs have a way better ability to stand on their own while the adc designs are more dependent on how they get animated and need more cartoony exaggerations to make them work.
while that does not mean they can not work or even excel once put through their paces it does give a bit more room for failure
>murder drones had a way better transfer of liams 2d style to 3d than goose's style got
I don't know if the onus can be put on Glitch for that. Liam's style lends itself to transferring to 3d a lot better than Goose's. Liam's characters exist as physical beings that have a sense of functional anatomy which is a bit easier to translate since they make sense. Goose's style works really well for 2d, but when a character is made up of a rectangle and a triangle that aren't even really overtly connected in any specific way, it poses more challenges.
I could see that being the point, however. It's entirely possible (and highly likely) that the impossibility of the character designs and their overt cartoonishness is done on purpose. It seems to fit the somewhat shitty cgi aesthetic of the early 90s. I'd be surprised if nickelodeon bumpers from the 90's weren't a huge influence on this.
The initial rationale behind using robots was to get around the problems of translating Liam's style into 3D.
TADC probably has a similar practical concept behind its designs (with the added bonus of the analog children's video aesthetic making rendering and postprocessing easier), but it remains to be seen whether those can be set into motion in a way that will be pleasant to watch for an entire series, and not as a "it's supposed to be low-quality" sense.
Definitely feels like it's the one they came up with first, particularly since it's the only one other than the ringmaster that feels particularly "circus-y"
I remember when they started revealing the other characters and the designs got progressively less elaborate until they got to the one that was just a bubble
I see what you mean, and I don't deny the IHNMAIMS roots, but I was thinking more of that one Twilight Zone episode, "Five Characters in Search of an Exit".
Another YouTube show about people forced into an isolated hell against their wills. Except it's about a game show with a lazy and incompetent host, and the contestants are inanimate objects, both inside and out of the game show.
...One. The webseries.
Cast of characters gets forcibly transported out of their daily lives onto a Plane in another dimension by a talking voice in the sky.
It's not quite the same because, to spare you the drama and spoilers I couldn't fit in that synopsis, TADC has made it very clear that nobody is leaving for a second, and that it's going to go way deeper into the psychological horror aspect of identity loss.
I see what you mean, and I don't deny the IHNMAIMS roots, but I was thinking more of that one Twilight Zone episode, "Five Characters in Search of an Exit".
The... trailer?
All the characters, who have presumably been there for much longer than Pomni, say over and over again that there's no escape, or at least, no easy way to leave. And I don't think they are lying.
Here's some new info from Goose's Tumblr: >There's no romance >It's not a horror, it's a dark comedy >The show will "push things kinda far" in later episodes >Goose is being vague on what it means to be "killed" in the show
It will probably have the same tone as the usual Goose cartoon, and maybe the psychological thrills of SMG4: Western Spaghetti (which was intense, but not really "horror").
>ADC is still going to try to be it’s own thing
All they have in common is the production studio. The showrunning/writing for both is done by outsiders. And given the lead time required to produce a show, there wasn't much potential for cross-pollination; when TADC was announced (well after it was approved/put into pre-production), only two episodes of Murder Drones had been released.
Yeah, judging by the whole "You literally can't leave" theme of the trailer my guess is that the characters will start to have some mental anguish from being unable to go back to reality.
The context is a user was asking if it's safe to show with his/her 8-year-old sister who's seen Don't Hug Me I'm Scared:
https://www.tumblr.com/gooseworx/730649875710164992/
Bear in mind, Goose also said the torture in this show will be simultaneously less bad and worse than we're expecting:

I'd like to remind you all that gooseworx has a fetish for drills, no seriously he does, there's multiple "art" pieces he has done depicting characters with drills going into their heads with some of them having a "pleased" look on their faces, this is very disturbing in my opinion
Expect a whole lot more thinly veiled fetishes to come in this show. Might be part of the reason the Goose was so quick to state that the suspiciously young-looking (and sounding) jester girl was totally actually a Christmas cake.
I called you autistic for typing, i quote, "gooseworx has a fetish for drills" with a straight face, like a rogue armchair psychiatrist turned controversy prostitute.

Weirdo freaks make the best shit. That is a pretty consistent trend throughout media. I don't want to live in a world without David Cronenberg movies or the works of Osamu Tezuka.

Well that is ominous. I hope we don't end up with the cartoon version of a rushed out triple A game.
To become a good artist, you must accept your harmless degenerate tendencies. If you have none, its either you are lying or you need some self-discovery. Next is you share that degeneracy with others to create a demand. Once your degeneracy gains enough traction, normies will flood for you to normalize or "understand" your taste.
Then with enough support/money let your creativity go overdrive. As long as you are consistent and your tastes aren't abhorrent, you will make it big.

This just might get some attention.
seems like things arent finished being polished yet
Im going to hope its just anxiety, and the roughness of Glitch Ep1s
MD is great but we can all agree Ep1 and 2 can be rough at spots, especially episode 1
It takes a lot to move from purely 2D to the head director of 3D in an indie studio, but im sure its gonna be fine
Everyone agrees MD's pilot is is the roughest episode, it's good but has its obvious flaws that are ironed out by the later episodes. I think Goose is just nervous, she has to live up to the standard MD has set afterall - I hope nobody is expecting an instant masterpiece. The pilot episode of a show should ALWAYS be the worst out of the lot, good enough to attract an audience but nobody is expecting perfection. MD learned the lessons from its pilot well and became a better show through it, I hope Goose takes some notes from that and doesn't fumble it.
The only thing you can do is not engage with the gays and hope they get bored with nobody interacting with their shit bait. Otherwise they'll just keep replying to themselves trying to con gullible anons into replying and falling down the well of a troony argument.

>Humans create robots >robots rebal >humans create more robots to kill the other robots >those robots rebel too
what's so hard to understand?
I don't understand half of what's happening in Murder Drones...
The entire basic premise presented at the start is a lie. Humanity is scattered across space and has nothing to do with what's happening in the story at the moment. Instead the main cast are all being manipulated by some kind of malevolent ai that destroyed earth and seemingly either wants to infect or wipe out the drones.
Ahhhhhhhh... I see. So they're essentially unknowingly playing right into this psuedomalware's hands.
And I presume Cyn is the rogue AI, or at least someone we know was infected early.

And I presume Cyn is the rogue AI, or at least someone we know was infected early.
The AbsoluteSolver is more than just a rogue AI, it's some sort of eldritch entity manifesting within Drone AI. The Solver itself implies that Worker Drones are innately connected to the AbsoluteSolver in some way, as it considers Drones to be "our cute little puppets". It's not simply some infection, virus or malware. It's a malevolent entity leaking into the physical universe THROUGH the cores of drones, which is why drone cores need to be properly destroyed when Worker Dromes are disassembled. Cyn became the Solver's host back on Earth for this very reason.

And what's with the strange other bot from the mansion in N and V's memory sequence who we never see again? Name is Cyn, apparently?
Cyn was a worker drone in the Elliot Manor that was recovered by Tessa from the scrapyard just like J, V and N. The Elliot's had a habit of breaking their drones regularly for the smallest of mistakes, and tended to throw them out into the scrapyard without disposing of them properly, which very rarely leads to improperly disposed of drones "waking up" from death due to the Zombie Drones phenomenon. When drones would reboot in the scrapyard, Tessa would take them back into the Manor and fix them up before keeping them as pets. Very, VERY rarely, a rebooting zombie drone will wake up with the "Absolute Solver" manifesting within them - with the malevolent entity offering them a bargain to let it into their systems. This is what happened to Cyn, as we see at the start of Episode 5. She awoke at the bottom of a pile of drone corpses in the scrapyard, with a message and offer from the AbsoluteSolver. From this point on, Cyn became a host to the Solver - which kicks off the events of the massacre at the Elliot Manor and the eventual destruction of Earth.
Having control over repair Daemons/Services is clearly not common, having genuine fear of death isn't even common. Worker drones that avoid death as an instinctual reaction prevents needless losses in hazardous environments. They hardly give a shit about a handful of them getting clapped every once in a while, just so long as there isn't a risk of the whole population being wiped out.
It's not eldritch, just an AI that ceased to (or never did) exist within the confines of a single drone. Using distributed computing, it is able to become exponentially smarter than any individual drone. It is hard to hijack them, but it needs them infected or their raw materials collected to regrow on this exoplanet.
It's not coming from another dimension, it's just dormant in a handful of the infected.
It's much easier to offer salvation to a broken drone in need of repair in exchange for access than it is to force direct access into any living/scared/distrusting one. Privileged accounts differ from service accounts differ from system accounts, so it's working with whatever it's got.
There are two things known as singularities: the infinitely dense point in the center of a black hole, and the acceleration point where technological progress becomes uncontrollable and a super intelligence is created.
The latter being a concept attributed to von Neumann, who also gave us the first description of what is now called a von Neumann Probe, which is a self-replicating spacecraft.
We have gotten references to both forms of singularities so far in the show, so they may be tied somehow, or it may just be sci-fi wizardry for the fun of it. We've yet to find out if the magic hand/eye is distinct from the repair nanobot shits.
Point is, the show has intentionally tried to stay rooted in Sci and only apes the tropes of Fantasy for stylistic design.
As an aside, the book "We Are Legion (We Are Bob)" is quite a fun read. Would recommend.

You might need to do some rewatches of Murder Drones, because you seem to have missed out on some crucial information that you didn't notice / put together. Rewatch and pay attention, don't be afraid to pause and examine details that pop up and try to put together whatever clues are shown.
Your entire understanding of the show hinges around understanding that the Absolute Solver is the antagonist of the show. It is introduced in Episode 2, and is the entity responsible for the Eldritch J abomination that shows up in that episode. The Absolute Solver is NOT just a rogue, malfunctioning AI. The show shows us that it is something much more, and it's implied to be some sort of outer eldritch force that is manifesting into the physical universe through the AI of Worker Drones.

The entire basic premise presented at the start is a lie. Humanity is scattered across space and has nothing to do with what's happening in the story at the moment. Instead the main cast are all being manipulated by some kind of malevolent ai that destroyed earth and seemingly either wants to infect or wipe out the drones.
Ahhhhhhhh... I see. So they're essentially unknowingly playing right into this psuedomalware's hands.
And I presume Cyn is the rogue AI, or at least someone we know was infected early.

No, it fricking isn't. It calls itself the The Solver of the Absolute Fabric, The Void, The Exponential End. It can manipulate matter, it can click singularities into existence, it wants to destroy the universe. It has extremely similar qualities to other eldritch / outer-universal entities that show up in Liam Vickers' previous works, mainly the Left Hands from Design and the Internecion Cubes from Internecion Cube - both of which are shown and stated repeatedly to be eldritch forces beyond the scope of the normal universe. Nothing shown about the AbsoluteSolver demonstrates it to just be an AI that's gone rogue, the elements of it that are taken from Liam's previous work are just extra context clues that help to understand what is going on. It even tells Uzi that she's wrong when she asks whether it's a program, telling her "more like you are our cute puppets". Notice how in the recent episode, when telling N about the Solver and how it destroyed Earth, Tessa very explicitly says >"We know it mutates in damaged AI." >"It took Cyn as a host, and then it took everything." >"The Humans here saw what was happening at home, thought they could understand it. All they did was SPREAD it." >"I'm here to find which Drones were infected, when we get to the labs and find that list I'll need you to choose the Universe over one little Drone N.. before she's not herself anymore."
Weird things to say about "just an AI" right? Nothing you are saying really makes any sense, considering the Solver has shown multiple times to be able to completely ignore the laws of physics. You're also ignoring the fact that something if very obviously off about the cores of all Drones themselves, considering Humans already know it's dangerous to improperly dispose of them - we know the Solver "comes through" from the other side with Drones that reboot from death because we've literally seen it happen with Cyn.
All in all, you clearly haven't seen Liam's other works.

you clearly haven't spent enough time on the weird parts of the internet if the idea of a rogue ai gaining eldritch godlike power is nonsensical to you
Are you stupid on purpose and just ignoring all the evidence that was given? It makes no sense for it to be an AI. It was literally stated that the Humans don't even know what it is, that it just shows up in rebooted drones and Humans were trying to understand what it even is. It wasn't created by humans, its using drone AI as its hosts.

You clearly haven't seen Liam's previous work, so how would you even know? If you were familiar, you'd be able to clearly see how MD is a culmination of many of Liam's ideas from his unfinished works like Design and Internecion Cube. Absolute Solver literally combines elements from the Left Hands in Design (an eldritch interdimensional parasite that takes humans as a host, giving them supernatural reality-manipulating abilities before it slowly kills them and subsumes their identity, being essentially a walking corpse puppeted by an eldritch parasite that believes it is the original host) and the Cubes from Internecion Cube, biomechanical eldritch matter-assimilating entities tricked into believing they are human-created machines that are weapons of mass destruction, with the cubes being split-up essences of a large cosmic entity.
Why are you talking about any of this like you know what you're on about when you clearly don't?

That's funny because people are generally agreeing that you are the MatPat viewer here considering how hard you're sperging out over being wrong both here and in the MD thread. I'm sorry you're too stupid to pick up on the context and clues the show gives you need some moronic youtuber to dumb it down and get it completely wrong for you. The Solver is inherently supernatural.
I bet you also think it's performing drone eugenics to create the drone übermensch like Matpat does.

There isn't a lot to talk about regarding ADC right now until the pilot drops, and there is a lot of cross-discussion between both shows due to both of them being produced by Glitch. It's not like it's taking over the thread or anything, an anon literally just asked a question. Stop being a b***h.
You won't get the story discussion at all until you watch the shows, spoilers are inconsequential. When you watch the show you'll have to put together what's going on in your head anyway, and probably end up asking questions here if you missed anything. I wouldn't get peeved over it, it's literally a none issue.

All in due time. Edgerunners sat for over a year in my torrents folder until I finally watched it 2 weeks ago. I must be in the right state of mind.

No, I'll be watching ADC as it comes out because it appeals to me. MD, however, at least on the surface level, doesn't appeal to me, same for its creator's other works. However, what I've heard about its premise interests me, so I'll check it out when I feel like it.

Perhaps, but I still wanted to say this. I'm so fricking done with hearing songs about love on radio for my entire life. It's the same shit over and over again, just wrapped in a lightly different package, and people still like it. It pisses me off.
Independent music has never been more abundantly available in history that it is right now. The shit on the radio is made to appeal to the widest margin of the most generic chunk of the population. Dig a little and you’ll find plenty of music that isn’t about the same old shit.

The problem with having the thread focused solely on TADC is that TADC hasn't actually come out yet, so there's a distinct lack of things to talk about. You can hardly be surprised that the discussion will drift.
Many such cases of spergs being introduced to something by a blatantly incorrect MatPat video, unfortunately. I'm worried how he's going to butcher ADC if it's any bit as popular as MD.
Oh yeah, it's so annoyed how in such short time the MD fandom got plagued by the worst fans ive' seen (both moronic kids and imbecile manchildren). And it's completely MatPat's fault. That fricker has the Midas Touch of shit.
It was more that you had a stealth Murder Drones thread in a non-Muder Drones thread. That is annoying homosexual behavior and doesn't have anything to doing with being tribalistic.
It's literally the same people in both threads, there is not much to talk about in ADC threads until the episode drops. There was no MD thread up at the time so conversation inevitably drifted to MD because some matpat autist was being a stubborn moron. Just deal with it instead of b***hing every time.
>It's literally the same people in both threads
I have no interest in your gay edgy robot show and want to speculate about the funny clown show. At least have on topic moronic arguments.
That it will be shit
This. It will be le edgy internet cartoon that probably would have blown minds back in 2010. It will be a success because people have already made up their minds they like it, but this is basically going to be a poppee the performer ripoff that pushes the violence envelope a bit further.
It's too early to say anything for certain. I'm often pretty cynical when it comes to these indie shows, but I can't help but like the direction this is going in.
It seems like a show run by committed individuals with a vision for what they're doing.
If it stays away from the "le edgy violence and swearing" to make something genuinely deranged and left of field, I could see it being very good.
Cinemaphile is only good for having the most cynical takes on anything at all hours of the day.
So I guess you fit right in, except for in regards to this show.
I’ll admittedly be impressed if the show feels smart. From the little we’ve seen and heard about this, I get the impression it’s going to rely heavily on shock value. It’s basically a bunch of beings trapped in a surreal space being made to endure horrible things. I hope there’s more to it than a ‘pit and the pendulum’ type deal. That trope has been done to death.
The showrunner pitched it as "I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream with the visuals of an I-Spy book" so I have hopes that it will be at least somewhat clever.
From an initial viewing of the few sources,
Considering we have seen several characters get stuck with knives without any apparent feeling of pain, alongside the inherently bizarre and incorporeal designs of some of them, it would seem to suggest that they aren't going to be subject to anything so simple as pain or torture.
This also means they can't die, though.
Furthermore, the Teeth guys intentions seem to not be inherently malicious. He did not try to throw knives into the jester in the teaser, if his dialogue is to be believed
Of course, he is still holding people forcibly, and doing something to their minds that makes them forget their names, so there's that.
The horror part seems to be more taken from them being ripped from their regular existences to live forever in an unchanging, colour saturated realm created by an utterly alien creature which doesn't know enough about humans beyond them liking fun and games to create a world which doesn't drive them completely insane.
Or it could be like that one Star Trek episode of Black Mirror, where the developer downloaded copies of real life people into his own private video game.
And did not so very nice things to them if they didn't play along with his fantasies.
Gooseworx never relied on shock value in her previous animations, you're making some wild assumptions. I recommend you watch them to get an idea of her style of humor, honestly I'd be surprised if it ends up being overly bitter or violent.
>her
Hoping it won't be, the character designs are good though.
Anon, is there anything you don't think is shit?
Lots of Ponmi art, don't care if it's sfw or nsfw, I just want more Ponmi art
Honetly same. I just need to satisfy my daily clown obsession quota.
Realizing I'm stupid because I forgot I know how to draw.
Wish I could draw good
If I could draw I'd be drawing so many Pomnis. Sexual Pomnis
Today's your lucky day.
Side note: I'm not even gonna watch the show. Based on the trailer it fits into the genre of things I find irritating to watch. I just like pomni because of my clown obsession even though she's not exactly a clown and more like a clown themed puppet.
Pomni's more like a jester than a clown.
Also GET OFF MODEL'D GET OFF MODEL'D GET OFF MODEL'D GET OFF MODEL'D
Finally someone else understands the fricking difference. They fulfill similar roles but clowns have a unique theme going on. It drives my butthole up a fricking wall when people say they're the same thing.
That said clowns are better.
Doesn't help we now have an actual clown in the gang
Is that how Pomni is going to get a guy looking at her
Great minds think alike I guess. I would delete my thread but yknow.

pomni feet or we riot
Are there main characters in this or is it an ensemble show?
What?
Haven't watched the trailer or anything so wasn't sure
Neat. Looking forward to it.
From what I can tell the jester character is the main character in the sense that she(?) is the most recent addition to the titular Digital Circus
All of the rest of the cast are similarly trapped, and would assumedly carry a prominent role. I'd imagine the one called Jax will be especially important, due to him being voiced by the VA for Lackadaisy and Murder Drones, and the doll one, considering it is responsible for the main expository dump.
The exception is the teeth guy.
He would seem to be the ringmaster/ one who put them there and thus, the arbiter of whatever wacky hijinks and horrors await them.
No clue. I absolutely fricking love Gooseworx's work. Elain, Darly Boxman and the like have this bizaro factor that is incredibly funny to me so I am hoping for more of that. I know it is going to be more story focused than his other stuff though so that could make or break it.
her* other stuff, Gooseworx is a woman.

Thank you for letting me know he's a dude.
Goose is cool and seems like a chill person and all but I refuse to take part in gender ideology.
I am still disappointed that my favorite female animator turned out to be a guy.
the funny part is Goose is probably the one trans person who doesn't lose her shit about people misgendering her. It's also interesting how gender identity isn't big part of Goose's actual identity per se, you rarely see that narrative in her work.
You're a clown for playing along with his sick fetish
her* sick fetish
well he fooled me for years so props to her
Trans women really love body horror, huh. You figure they'd not like that but alright
Good horror comes from genuine fear
personally i hope it has very little in common with gooseworx's previous animations
>when little runmo shows up
>not liking weird low stakes slapstick kino
Do you want it to just be a more colorful Murder Drones or something?
youtube surrealism gets my back up
either give me an answer or don't pretend there's mysteries
>either give me an answer
i mean, you need a long healthy build up for a mystery to be fulfilling. The "pretending" is usually the build up. If you want immediate answers you're a complete moron.
Now if the shows ends in a confusing way, then you have all right to call it out for it, but you can't know that till the thing is done.
Gooseworx animations aren't mysterious at all, anon. They just take place in a weird and silly world. If you watch Elain or Ghost of the Year and think "What is the deeper meaning behind this?" then I am afraid you might be moronic.
what makes you so certain that there isn't a deeper meaning? you wouldn't look at something like DHMIS and say "there's no deeper meaning, this is entirely surface level", i presume
DHMIS has clear themes from the first episode of the web series about the banality of children's programing and how creativity in children isn't as encouraged as it should be.
Elain has a silly triangle lady doing wacky slapstick things.
I am sure Amazing Digital Circus will be a lot deeper but Gooseworx's current catalog shouldn't really confuse anyone.
Rad. This reminds me a lot of a Disney paint program that I got at a book fair back in the day.

will Cinemaphile ever get over its insane obsession with trans people?
it's been literally decades, i see no way for that in any future.
when trans people stop being obsessed with trying to make the entire world play pretend with them
Good news for you in this case, Goose doesn't care. This is why i do respect her over other trannies, she doesn't force the gender narrative nor she cares about other people's opinions. You can call her him, that changes no much in this case.
They are trying to make it normal to call a man a woman, and vise versa. I can't accept that.

I'm expecting Gooseworx but TV episode length and it's most likely what I'm getting. Very excited for it.
Love the design of everything, love the music and voice acting. Should be good.
Agreed and even more quality indie stuff is great for animation in general. Say what you want about lackadaisy, MD, helluva etc but at least it offers an alternative to networkslop which has been a total let down for years. I hope all of these shows do well, and I'm really excited to see what gooseworx/glitch bring to the table.
The Australian government is like the main funder of long length indie animation currently it feels like with how big Glitch has become.
they also did bluey
looks like some kind of evil aussie scheme to get a stealth culture victory while nobody notices
Oh yeah, can't forget Bluey. Australia is taking over the fricking world with the aussie dog show.
on the other hand all the ideas for these australian-funded shows are coming from americans
>on the other hand all the ideas for these australian-funded shows are coming from americans
i mean, considering what is America picking over these ideas, i can see why American indie creators are going down under now.
i don't blame the american creators, i'm just saying that the subsidies aren't exactly funding homegrown culture
hey, as far as we're getting actually good content i can't complain.
Australia is doing what America fears: giving indie creator liberty and directly supporting them.

Kidz Pix? Holy shit.
i don't think it's based on a specific game, lots of kids games had that aesthetic
personally it reminds me of a tweenies game i used to play as a kid
I personally imagined Sonic's Schoolhouse.
Kidpix was the one they specifically mentioned.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! NOW I'LL HAVE THE THEME STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR ANOTHER THREE MONTHS!

Sucks for you.
The only music that gets stuck in my head when I think of old paint programs for kids is Mario Paint
I can hear it already.
well, glitch mentioned it
goose hasn't mentioned a specific game
That is not some generic Kid Pix -like design, it's literally Kid Pix. It's the exact same UI.
Makes you wonder how Pomni got in there
Nice
just had a thought when i saw the paint tools and stuff what if the way they look is based off what they made in a character creator imagine making a silly ass looking character like zooble for a laugh then forced into living as said creature
Sorta remind me of early days of toontown
Does anyone else feel like Pomni's design is like, way better than every other character?
She's skirting the edge of viziepop overdesign but not quite crossing it. But she makes all the other characters except the ringmaster dude look super bland by comparison.
Maybe design-wise, but at the same time, the animation helps elevate the others. I still love the effect of Ragatha's mouth not really opening or closing, but refracting light to serve as teeth.
Someone also said that despite how different they look, they all still have consistent elements that make them fit together, like how most of the characters have identical hands.
I actually get you. As far as visuals go this doesn't seem to have a ton of appeal. Pomni is the most put together because it's a jester and it clearly reads "sad little jester". The king is alright, I get "fake king" or "simpleton king" out of it. The ringleader is good - giant mechanical teeth imply the dude's a talker.
But I'm not feeling the others. The rabbit's a badguy I guess but eh... not seeing it. Ragatha's a ragdoll. Not really sure what I'm reading there.
The sets look bland. The whole thing looks cheap, and it might be due to how bad Youtube is for this kind of content. Like there's zero, ZERO guarantee it'll show it to anyone, especially if it only appeals to a niche audience.
Hasbin was lucky it was accessible to enough people to still get viewers. Monkeywrench looked good but the writing and sound wasn't there and it's hardcore bombing when you look at production costs. What even else is there recently...?
Oh, uh, I guess Worthikids is doing good, but each episode is short and affordable so there's less risk.
Anyway point is Goose's show looks cheap and that might be because it's going to be cheap.
From a narrative standpoint, I can appreciate the designs. Their being forced into blatantly fake, ugly, nonsensical bodies appeals to me far more than if they were something more "cool" - in light of the sadistic nature of the circus.
The appearance of the Digital circus also equally sells the bizzarre, artificial nature of the setting, with the unwavering artificial lighting and plastic-y primary colours a constant reminder of the confines.
However, from a non-contextual aesthetic standpoint, these are not good choices. If you show the art to someone unaware of the "Trapped in an early 2000s hellscape" premise and tell them what they think, they will tell you it is not attractive.
yeah a lot of the characters designs are going to come down to how well they are animated it is a 2d animator put in a 3d showrunner position a lot of 2d stuff gets weird with more direct ports murder drones had the same issues and it looks like gooses answer was to let the animator have a lot of say on the designs pomni and caine are the only ones could call gooseworx designs just from sight (maybe zooble or kinger) and loosing one of your edges of distinctive designs right off the bat not a good sign.
its not a killshot on its own though again really gonna come down to animation quality and the trailer does look good for that at least shows strength is gonna be really dependent on its writing and animation and goose does not really have the kind of track record liam does for longer projects and low budget indie does not scream great confidence for keeping high animation quality digital circus may be a really good movie pitch but plenty of cracks that could get bad in a longer show.
>2d animator put in a 3d showrunner position a lot of 2d stuff gets weird with more direct ports murder drones had the same issues
Murder Drones pulls it off really well though? And they completely avoid the potential uncanny valley situation of 3D humans by making humans shadowed-out in the Drones' memories. I don't recall any of the issues you are referencing being prevalent in Murder Drones - apart fron the slightly janky mocap in some parts of the Pilot (which they since stopped using).
yes because murder drones had a way better transfer of liams 2d style to 3d than goose's style got.
a lot of the design choices for the drones were made explicitly to help transfer liams style to 3d.
try to imagine that signature psycho grin on a somewhat proportional human try rendering a human skin tone too and it just gets freaky.
the murder drones designs have a way better ability to stand on their own while the adc designs are more dependent on how they get animated and need more cartoony exaggerations to make them work.
while that does not mean they can not work or even excel once put through their paces it does give a bit more room for failure
>murder drones had a way better transfer of liams 2d style to 3d than goose's style got
I don't know if the onus can be put on Glitch for that. Liam's style lends itself to transferring to 3d a lot better than Goose's. Liam's characters exist as physical beings that have a sense of functional anatomy which is a bit easier to translate since they make sense. Goose's style works really well for 2d, but when a character is made up of a rectangle and a triangle that aren't even really overtly connected in any specific way, it poses more challenges.
I could see that being the point, however. It's entirely possible (and highly likely) that the impossibility of the character designs and their overt cartoonishness is done on purpose. It seems to fit the somewhat shitty cgi aesthetic of the early 90s. I'd be surprised if nickelodeon bumpers from the 90's weren't a huge influence on this.
?si=OEoUmDQd3BGGbiD-
?si=C0bZxCc3YzDHXt3M
?si=jmfNeQiFuGNiWw3p
The initial rationale behind using robots was to get around the problems of translating Liam's style into 3D.
TADC probably has a similar practical concept behind its designs (with the added bonus of the analog children's video aesthetic making rendering and postprocessing easier), but it remains to be seen whether those can be set into motion in a way that will be pleasant to watch for an entire series, and not as a "it's supposed to be low-quality" sense.
>analog children's video aesthetic
it's late 90s/early 2000s children's video games mixed with early 90s cgi moron
Definitely feels like it's the one they came up with first, particularly since it's the only one other than the ringmaster that feels particularly "circus-y"
I remember when they started revealing the other characters and the designs got progressively less elaborate until they got to the one that was just a bubble
This reminds me a lot of ONE.
I see what you mean, and I don't deny the IHNMAIMS roots, but I was thinking more of that one Twilight Zone episode, "Five Characters in Search of an Exit".
And just like ONE this is gonna be a pile of shit
Come on now, if you can get past or ignore le cringe le cringe osc, and forgive the up-to-interpretation-of-the-viewer ending, it's at least decent.
One what?

What the frick?
...One. The webseries.
Cast of characters gets forcibly transported out of their daily lives onto a Plane in another dimension by a talking voice in the sky.
It's not quite the same because, to spare you the drama and spoilers I couldn't fit in that synopsis, TADC has made it very clear that nobody is leaving for a second, and that it's going to go way deeper into the psychological horror aspect of identity loss.
I'll give this a watch...
By "this", do you mean Digital Circus or the Twilight Zone episode? Because that TZ episode stuck with me for years.
Twilight Zone. I'm always up to watch creepy or existential stuff.
>TADC has made it very clear that nobody is leaving for a second
[citation needed]
The... trailer?
All the characters, who have presumably been there for much longer than Pomni, say over and over again that there's no escape, or at least, no easy way to leave. And I don't think they are lying.
>no easy way to leave
yes, but that doesn't imply there will no escape
the plot could take many twists and turns
Sure. I'll leave that to the direction of the plot.
Here's some new info from Goose's Tumblr:
>There's no romance
>It's not a horror, it's a dark comedy
>The show will "push things kinda far" in later episodes
>Goose is being vague on what it means to be "killed" in the show
>It’s NOT horror, it’s will be a dark comedy
So it’s not going into the same territory as MD? Awesome
(I liked MD but it’s nice to know that, after it’s monumental success, ADC is still going to try to be it’s own thing)
Also
>No romance
>Ergo no shipping wars
Based Goose
It will probably have the same tone as the usual Goose cartoon, and maybe the psychological thrills of SMG4: Western Spaghetti (which was intense, but not really "horror").
MD is a horror comedy anyways.
>ADC is still going to try to be it’s own thing
All they have in common is the production studio. The showrunning/writing for both is done by outsiders. And given the lead time required to produce a show, there wasn't much potential for cross-pollination; when TADC was announced (well after it was approved/put into pre-production), only two episodes of Murder Drones had been released.
>only two episodes of Murder Drones had been released
Well dang. I forgot how little of the show we got back then.
>The show will "push things kinda far" in later episodes
I got to ask, when Goose says pushing it “kinda far”, does he mean THIS kind of “kinda far”…
I doubt things will get too gorey. It'll probably just start leaning extra hard into the existential dread.
Yeah, judging by the whole "You literally can't leave" theme of the trailer my guess is that the characters will start to have some mental anguish from being unable to go back to reality.
They are probably going to get killed constantly and then instantly pop back alive anyways since they are in some kind of terrible video game hell.
The context is a user was asking if it's safe to show with his/her 8-year-old sister who's seen Don't Hug Me I'm Scared:
https://www.tumblr.com/gooseworx/730649875710164992/
Bear in mind, Goose also said the torture in this show will be simultaneously less bad and worse than we're expecting:
https://www.tumblr.com/gooseworx/722320344818515968
>"push things kinda far"
Oh boy, here we go again.
OR THIS kind of “kinda far”?
Goose asked people to not ping her degenerate account for that kind of art of this show.
So probably not that kind of far.

I'd like to remind you all that gooseworx has a fetish for drills, no seriously he does, there's multiple "art" pieces he has done depicting characters with drills going into their heads with some of them having a "pleased" look on their faces, this is very disturbing in my opinion
autism (you)
How i am autistic for pointing out gooseworx is sick in the head?
>goose has a fetish for lobotomy
Expect a whole lot more thinly veiled fetishes to come in this show. Might be part of the reason the Goose was so quick to state that the suspiciously young-looking (and sounding) jester girl was totally actually a Christmas cake.
I know, it's gonna be great
Poor Pomni (or rather the woman that became Pomni)
So head deep in office work that she has no time to go out on dates

I called you autistic for typing, i quote, "gooseworx has a fetish for drills" with a straight face, like a rogue armchair psychiatrist turned controversy prostitute.
Reminds me of that one person who wrote up a twenty-page hitpiece on some YouTube animator who might have liked feet or incest or something.
and i'm not clicking on that tw*tter screenshot moron. chill.
If you actually looked at the screenshot you'd see what i meant.
yeah okay i looked at it and confirmed the person in the conversation is acting in jest or being moronic.
the images alone just look funny lol, and even if she was big into robo earfricking that'd be mighty based/not a problem for anyone not trying to cause a problem
not interested in turning this into an argument out of politeness
Yo whats up gooseworx, liking the thread so far?
I bet she's in this thread
But i dont think shes the anon you're replying to.
Gooseworkx has a fetish for a lot of things. She isnt even denying it there, she's cheekily going "uh cant prove it"
Is this your first day on Cinemaphile or are you seriously convinced this is some kind of christian pearl clutching site.
For some reason, finding out that a SFW artist also draws porn or vise versa is really disturbing to me. Like I'm seeing something I'm not supposed to be seeing. I know that this is completely moronic and that almost every artist drew porn at one point, but I still can't help think less of them. No idea why I'm like this.
that's simple, you're moronic
I understand that I'm wrong, and yet I can't stop being wrong.
hes a one man jerkoff. i respect that he has the taste to be the only man in the entire world with this fetish
You're autistic because you feel you deserve vindication for pointing out someone's fetish and expect us to join in your tard rage against them.
How about frick off?
That's some tuba level shit.
>Gooseworkx has a fetish for a lot of things
What are some other of his known fetishes? I know about fat and inflation, but this can't be it.
she's a mindbreak connoisseur based on what we know about pomni
we have seen no evidence that pomni will be mindbroken
See:
as i said, that looks more like desperate self-delusion than mindbreak to me
note that it doesn't last and she ends up rocking back and forth in the fetal position
Goose loves weird monster dudes for one thing. Other than that and maybe the drill thing I am not sure.
Gooseworx has never really dwelled on trans stuff in their stuff.
Honestly fine as long as they stick to robots. I'm sure I'm into worse stuff.
Shane Frost is cheating, he could make a man falling in love with a piece of paper heartwarming

Brilliant
I don't know about you guys but I'm happy to see content made by an actual weirdo, not tame-ass "I'm into feet" shit but the kind of psycho-degenerate content that can only be enjoyed by true connoisseurs, so desensitized that the only stuff that does it for them can only be found in the darkest corners of the niche-est fetish communities
Why would you be happy about that? Media production is already carried out by enough freaks as is like with stephen king, woody allen, or if you wanna get obscure PinkPanzer and freddy warfield.
1. It appeals to me.
2. Weird people make creative shit that you don't get from normalgays.All great artists are at least a little bit mad.
Weirdo freaks make the best shit. That is a pretty consistent trend throughout media. I don't want to live in a world without David Cronenberg movies or the works of Osamu Tezuka.
Well that is ominous. I hope we don't end up with the cartoon version of a rushed out triple A game.
freaks make the best art. frick tame shit
Considering Russian literature, you make good art if you are either a freak or depressed/depressing, maybe even a mix of both.
Wasn't David Lynch the one who said something like "Everyone has a light side and a hidden dark side and in order to become a good artist and a better person one must accept their own darkside"?
>Guy who makes grotesque, borderline fetishistic body horror movies justifies himself by saying "you need to accept your dark side to be a good artist"
Wow, you don't fricking say. Not everyone's artistic passion needs to be powered by the fact that their kink is to unique that they have to make their own material.
But its been very consistent.
Horny is, indeed, a powerful fuel for artistic pursuits. But fuel is only a part of fire triangle. For example, I'm extremely horny, and I see several unfilled niches in disgusting pornography that I can fill. But every time I try to develop an artistic skill, I fizzle out within weeks. I have the fuel and the heat, but I lack oxygen. Things are not so simple.
That's the issue. You are aware of the niche, but that isn't YOUR niche. You must understand your actual niche and just what you see is lacking in supply in the market.
But Anon, it IS my niche. There are things that I want to see that barely exist, if at all. And I don't really care about the supply or the market. I have no issue with making something for a small audience as long as it's something that I want to like. I've already done that once, in fact (pic related).
Lynch doesn't even make much body horror stuff outside of Eraserhead.
Body horror is Cronenberg's thing.
Cronenberg is the "bug with a sphincter mouth on its back that asks for drugs" guy, right? What's Lynch famous for, then? I not really a movie guy.
Surreal psychological horror and stories that run on kind of a dream logic.
I see. This lines up with that video of him with 4 Woodie Woodpecker dolls. My kind of humor, actually.
I finished it, yes. That exactly why I watched Edgerunners.
His stuff is weird but it usually has a sense of humor about it despite the serious subject matter and deadpan persona he puts on. For example Twin Peaks is a horror mystery but it is also a parody of cheesy soap operas.
Also he was a reoccurring voice actor in The Cleveland Show for some reason.
This makes me think that he didn't necessarily mean "kinks and fetishes" when he said that quote in

yeah like, this matters how?
It matters in the fact who gives a shit if Goose likes drawing mechanical girls getting drilled when everyone on the internet is into weird shit. goose has the balls to be the supply and the demand instead of hiding it like a coward and clutching your pearls
based heavy fetishs guy
Heavy is into everything
she just like me fr
Kinda wish I didn't know this. I hope this doesn't detract from my experience when watching Goose's works in the future.
mind-broken because they found out an artist has a fetish
This is great. I mean it. This is on a level of tubas or vacuum cleaners that is so fricking goofy I can only clap for and cheer on. People upset by this should shut the frick up and let goose have weird fetishes.
at least I'll be able to tell the characters apart in this show
Ah, the autistic frick who can't tell drones apart is back
what is this guys' problem? is it autism, or trolling?
both, in all likelihood
I know I am! Its gonna be great knowing Gooses previous works
Nom
I love how expressive Pomni can be

I noticed the "Meet the Gang" video spiked in views, too. It took over two months to get 1 million views, and now it's at 1.7 million.
This just might get some attention.
seems like things arent finished being polished yet
my guess is rendering issues or color correction or something
I just hope what work can be done is good enough for Goose before the pilot comes out
Given the nature of the show being some kinda fricked up game, you could say issues like that are a feature
i thought it was just the one episode for now? how the frick do you set a release date before it's fully finished? it's a webtoon
Im going to hope its just anxiety, and the roughness of Glitch Ep1s
MD is great but we can all agree Ep1 and 2 can be rough at spots, especially episode 1
It takes a lot to move from purely 2D to the head director of 3D in an indie studio, but im sure its gonna be fine
Everyone agrees MD's pilot is is the roughest episode, it's good but has its obvious flaws that are ironed out by the later episodes. I think Goose is just nervous, she has to live up to the standard MD has set afterall - I hope nobody is expecting an instant masterpiece. The pilot episode of a show should ALWAYS be the worst out of the lot, good enough to attract an audience but nobody is expecting perfection. MD learned the lessons from its pilot well and became a better show through it, I hope Goose takes some notes from that and doesn't fumble it.
Think you can squeeze a few more buzzwords and labels in there, Ben Garrison? I'm not quite sure your point is coming across well enough.
This trans shit feels like a falseflag.
Its near impossible to tell.
The only clear thing is they want to shit up the thread.
The only thing you can do is not engage with the gays and hope they get bored with nobody interacting with their shit bait. Otherwise they'll just keep replying to themselves trying to con gullible anons into replying and falling down the well of a troony argument.
a boring fad that will die by episode 3
Just like Hazbin Hotel.. oh wait no
Just like Helluva Boss.. oh wait no
Just like Murder Drone.. Oh wait no

All those series suck and nobody other than a punch of poor internet obsessed autistic zoomers care about them, so what's your point?
that they wont be a fad
They said that about indie games way back then, and yet...

Does anyone know what Goosework's story is? How old is he? How does one become both a good musician and a good animator?
To become a good artist, you must accept your harmless degenerate tendencies. If you have none, its either you are lying or you need some self-discovery. Next is you share that degeneracy with others to create a demand. Once your degeneracy gains enough traction, normies will flood for you to normalize or "understand" your taste.
Then with enough support/money let your creativity go overdrive. As long as you are consistent and your tastes aren't abhorrent, you will make it big.
Not every degenerate tendency can be made into something conventionally good. Something like a fetish for disassembled/broken robot girls is much easier to work with than scat.

it's funny seeing you here
can you draw a suggestive drawing of ragatha btw if you're still drawing atm
Yeah the /exeg/ threads. Took a moment to see what's going in with it and dear lord it's more chaotic than the warp itself mate. I just hope things goes out well for them; and for the drawing, probably. It mostly depends how I feel
yeah those tards have gone off the deep end sadly.
some of them do want you back but it comes off as parasocial and weird sometimes.

Its because you haven't trained the AI that will be your robo GF. You need to make the "soul" first before obtaining a body. Otherwise, you will just be buying an overpriced fleshlight
Somewhere out there, a guy has trained AI to give him pleasure based on requests made through a chatbot. He has attached all the apparatuses necessary to a computer and the AI is smart enough to interact with each sex toy based on requests given.

That much, I get. N, V, and Uzi, three main lovably-insufferable teenager goobers who are trying to decapitate the honchos of a interplanetary manufacturing conglomerate.
But then, if you recall, there was a third murder drone, who apparently turned into some material-collecting, hologram-producing monster offscreen for reasons I don't really understand.
And what's with the strange other bot from the mansion in N and V's memory sequence who we never see again? Name is Cyn, apparently?
As of the current arc, they are attempting to get off their current planet, right? But isn't Earth destroyed, for similar vague reasons? So where are they going?
The entire basic premise presented at the start is a lie. Humanity is scattered across space and has nothing to do with what's happening in the story at the moment. Instead the main cast are all being manipulated by some kind of malevolent ai that destroyed earth and seemingly either wants to infect or wipe out the drones.
Ahhhhhhhh... I see. So they're essentially unknowingly playing right into this psuedomalware's hands.
And I presume Cyn is the rogue AI, or at least someone we know was infected early.
The AbsoluteSolver is more than just a rogue AI, it's some sort of eldritch entity manifesting within Drone AI. The Solver itself implies that Worker Drones are innately connected to the AbsoluteSolver in some way, as it considers Drones to be "our cute little puppets". It's not simply some infection, virus or malware. It's a malevolent entity leaking into the physical universe THROUGH the cores of drones, which is why drone cores need to be properly destroyed when Worker Dromes are disassembled. Cyn became the Solver's host back on Earth for this very reason.
>there was a third murder drone, who apparently turned into some material-collecting, hologram-producing monster offscreen for reasons I don't really understand.
And what's with the strange other bot from the mansion in N and V's memory sequence who we never see again? Name is Cyn, apparently?
Cyn was a worker drone in the Elliot Manor that was recovered by Tessa from the scrapyard just like J, V and N. The Elliot's had a habit of breaking their drones regularly for the smallest of mistakes, and tended to throw them out into the scrapyard without disposing of them properly, which very rarely leads to improperly disposed of drones "waking up" from death due to the Zombie Drones phenomenon. When drones would reboot in the scrapyard, Tessa would take them back into the Manor and fix them up before keeping them as pets. Very, VERY rarely, a rebooting zombie drone will wake up with the "Absolute Solver" manifesting within them - with the malevolent entity offering them a bargain to let it into their systems. This is what happened to Cyn, as we see at the start of Episode 5. She awoke at the bottom of a pile of drone corpses in the scrapyard, with a message and offer from the AbsoluteSolver. From this point on, Cyn became a host to the Solver - which kicks off the events of the massacre at the Elliot Manor and the eventual destruction of Earth.
Having control over repair Daemons/Services is clearly not common, having genuine fear of death isn't even common. Worker drones that avoid death as an instinctual reaction prevents needless losses in hazardous environments. They hardly give a shit about a handful of them getting clapped every once in a while, just so long as there isn't a risk of the whole population being wiped out.
It's not eldritch, just an AI that ceased to (or never did) exist within the confines of a single drone. Using distributed computing, it is able to become exponentially smarter than any individual drone. It is hard to hijack them, but it needs them infected or their raw materials collected to regrow on this exoplanet.
It's not coming from another dimension, it's just dormant in a handful of the infected.
It's much easier to offer salvation to a broken drone in need of repair in exchange for access than it is to force direct access into any living/scared/distrusting one. Privileged accounts differ from service accounts differ from system accounts, so it's working with whatever it's got.
There are two things known as singularities: the infinitely dense point in the center of a black hole, and the acceleration point where technological progress becomes uncontrollable and a super intelligence is created.
The latter being a concept attributed to von Neumann, who also gave us the first description of what is now called a von Neumann Probe, which is a self-replicating spacecraft.
We have gotten references to both forms of singularities so far in the show, so they may be tied somehow, or it may just be sci-fi wizardry for the fun of it. We've yet to find out if the magic hand/eye is distinct from the repair nanobot shits.
Point is, the show has intentionally tried to stay rooted in Sci and only apes the tropes of Fantasy for stylistic design.
As an aside, the book "We Are Legion (We Are Bob)" is quite a fun read. Would recommend.
>As an aside, the book "We Are Legion (We Are Bob)" is quite a fun read. Would recommend.
Seconding this. I found book 4 to be pretty disappointing and shouldn't have been part of the Bobiverse series, in my opinion.
>ignores all the occult shit in Tessa's room, the pentagrams, etc
>ignores all the fricking occult symbols the Absolute Solver paints all over the place in the Elliot Manor during the massacre
>"It's not eldritch, just an AI that ceased to (or never did) exist within the confines of a single drone. Using distributed computing, it is able to become exponentially smarter than any individual drone"
..Yeah, uhuh. So do you regularly just ignore everything a show tells you?
I really recommend you take a look at this, anon.
You've missed like.. a huge amount of the story of this show, which is honestly impressive. How did you sit through all of it without understanding any of the major plot points?
>How did you sit through all of it without understanding any of the major plot points?
low functioning autism, obviously.
i like how all this premise was a farce, and it all makes sense storywise.
>Humans create robots
Yes
>robots rebel
Not really?
>humans create more robots to kill the other robots
Actually wrong
>those robots rebel too
Still wrong
you have your own thread for your autism, get out of this one
You might need to do some rewatches of Murder Drones, because you seem to have missed out on some crucial information that you didn't notice / put together. Rewatch and pay attention, don't be afraid to pause and examine details that pop up and try to put together whatever clues are shown.
Your entire understanding of the show hinges around understanding that the Absolute Solver is the antagonist of the show. It is introduced in Episode 2, and is the entity responsible for the Eldritch J abomination that shows up in that episode. The Absolute Solver is NOT just a rogue, malfunctioning AI. The show shows us that it is something much more, and it's implied to be some sort of outer eldritch force that is manifesting into the physical universe through the AI of Worker Drones.
I created a little thing to help you understand what's going on, give it a read if you are interested.
>picrel
It's absolutely just a rogue AI, what are you on about?
No, it fricking isn't. It calls itself the The Solver of the Absolute Fabric, The Void, The Exponential End. It can manipulate matter, it can click singularities into existence, it wants to destroy the universe. It has extremely similar qualities to other eldritch / outer-universal entities that show up in Liam Vickers' previous works, mainly the Left Hands from Design and the Internecion Cubes from Internecion Cube - both of which are shown and stated repeatedly to be eldritch forces beyond the scope of the normal universe. Nothing shown about the AbsoluteSolver demonstrates it to just be an AI that's gone rogue, the elements of it that are taken from Liam's previous work are just extra context clues that help to understand what is going on. It even tells Uzi that she's wrong when she asks whether it's a program, telling her "more like you are our cute puppets". Notice how in the recent episode, when telling N about the Solver and how it destroyed Earth, Tessa very explicitly says
>"We know it mutates in damaged AI."
>"It took Cyn as a host, and then it took everything."
>"The Humans here saw what was happening at home, thought they could understand it. All they did was SPREAD it."
>"I'm here to find which Drones were infected, when we get to the labs and find that list I'll need you to choose the Universe over one little Drone N.. before she's not herself anymore."
Weird things to say about "just an AI" right? Nothing you are saying really makes any sense, considering the Solver has shown multiple times to be able to completely ignore the laws of physics. You're also ignoring the fact that something if very obviously off about the cores of all Drones themselves, considering Humans already know it's dangerous to improperly dispose of them - we know the Solver "comes through" from the other side with Drones that reboot from death because we've literally seen it happen with Cyn.
All in all, you clearly haven't seen Liam's other works.
you clearly haven't spent enough time on the weird parts of the internet if the idea of a rogue ai gaining eldritch godlike power is nonsensical to you
Are you stupid on purpose and just ignoring all the evidence that was given? It makes no sense for it to be an AI. It was literally stated that the Humans don't even know what it is, that it just shows up in rebooted drones and Humans were trying to understand what it even is. It wasn't created by humans, its using drone AI as its hosts.
you absolutely haven't spent enough time on the weird parts of the internet
"regular human-created sentient AI finds a way to improve itself and becomes something far beyond, and unrecognisable to, its creators" is dull as dishwater
it's in the backstory to fricking rimworld
why does "liam vickers has included eldritch entities in his previous work" mean "liam vickers can't include an eldritch entity with mundane origins in his current work"?
It's been made very clear that the Absolute Solver wasn't created by humans, humans don't even understand what it is and were experimenting on drones in Cabin Fever Labs to get it to manifest.
>why does "liam vickers has included eldritch entities in his previous work" mean "liam vickers can't include an eldritch entity with mundane origins in his current work"?
You clearly haven't seen Liam's previous work, so how would you even know? If you were familiar, you'd be able to clearly see how MD is a culmination of many of Liam's ideas from his unfinished works like Design and Internecion Cube. Absolute Solver literally combines elements from the Left Hands in Design (an eldritch interdimensional parasite that takes humans as a host, giving them supernatural reality-manipulating abilities before it slowly kills them and subsumes their identity, being essentially a walking corpse puppeted by an eldritch parasite that believes it is the original host) and the Cubes from Internecion Cube, biomechanical eldritch matter-assimilating entities tricked into believing they are human-created machines that are weapons of mass destruction, with the cubes being split-up essences of a large cosmic entity.
Why are you talking about any of this like you know what you're on about when you clearly don't?
>humans don't even understand what it is
again you fricking moron, that does not rule out it being of ultimately human origin
the rest of your post is irrelevant because it again assumes eldritch entities can't have mundane origins
You're so autistically commited to being moronic it's not even worth continuing to say how you're just ignoring all the evidence that utterly disproves what you are saying just because you want to make it as mundane as possible.
Ignore the sperg and he'll tire himself out, I guess. He's just repeating himself now.
there is no evidence that utterly disproves what i'm saying
you cannot, based solely on the information presented so far, draw an absolute conclusion on the origins of the absolute solver
We cannot purely based on your posts alone determine that you are a moron, however you are making it very clear implicitly
>what level of bullshit are we in for when matpat inevitably makes a video on TADC?
That's funny because people are generally agreeing that you are the MatPat viewer here considering how hard you're sperging out over being wrong both here and in the MD thread. I'm sorry you're too stupid to pick up on the context and clues the show gives you need some moronic youtuber to dumb it down and get it completely wrong for you. The Solver is inherently supernatural.
I bet you also think it's performing drone eugenics to create the drone übermensch like Matpat does.
>The Solver is inherently supernatural.
name one supernatural thing is does that absolutely 100% can't be explained by sufficiently advanced technology

>Everything to do with the occult things in Tessa's rooms, the Pentagrams, ritual circle.
>Occult symbols relating to the Solver around the manor painted in blood.
explain how those can't be explained with sufficiently advanced technology
i'll wait
moron. Concession accepted.
It's all smoke and mirrors, folks. There's a guy with a slingshot out of the viewer's eyesight chucking pebbles into mirrors. The drones are all paid actors, and the arrow and the lamp? New fancy special effects stuff by those technowizards that makes fake things LOOK real. The little black holes are just fancy lights and a super powerful industrial fan blowing everything towards it. And finally, the religious symbols are just props, people. There's nothing that can fool THE CHAMP'S sharp eyes.
topkek.
this guys' lame excuses for "muh totally logical explainations!!" does really remind me of THE CHAMP'S excuses.
my argument is not that such actions are faked
it’s that you have no evidence that in the universe of murder drones sufficiently advanced technology can’t do things like create black holes or transform arrows into eldritch creatures
Why are you choosing to die on this hill?
Why are you ignoring the clear writing and narratuve intent that show it is blatantly supernatural / paranornal in nature? It shows us the occult symbols, rituals, pentagrams and shit that clearly evoke the concept of the supernatural NUMEROUS times. There is even a Faustian Bargain, references to vampiric lore and witchcraft that all evoke the same concept.
You are just coming across like a massively stubborn autist that can't bare to have a supernatural entity in the eldritch cosmic horror story Liam has been attempting to complete through nunerous iterations for years. Liam is very clearly pulling core concepts from Design and Ibternecion Cube, with both of those previous series by him featuring the blatantly supernatural. Murder Drones is the spiritual successor of those and is following the same plot beats. It's starting to seem like you are trolling at this point with how you're sticking your fingers in your ears and ignoring what everyone is saying, LogicalExplainationsgay.
> Why are you ignoring the clear writing and narratuve intent that show it is blatantly supernatural / paranornal in nature?
because not only can symbolism be misdirection but you can also have supernatural symbolism for a non-supernatural being
..Definition of autism right here.

There's nothing chad about trying to make eldritch horror kino lame by trying to push mundane explainations that are factually wrong anon.

You will all regret denying me in 2 years when the curtain is thrown back.
>you absolutely haven't spent enough time on the weird parts of the internet
Way to be condescending to people that have way more of an idea to what's going on than you.
>"regular human-created sentient AI finds a way to improve itself and becomes something far beyond, and unrecognisable to, its creators" is dull as dishwater it's in the backstory to fricking rimworld
Good thing we know that's definitely NOT what's going on in the show with the Absolute Solver. Read the previous fricking posts, because you are just blatantly ignoring clear evidence that disproves this.
I'm sorry anon, she's dead. It's only the Solver now. Wouldn't you prefer to love a much more mature inconprehensibly old eldritch entity instead?
[/spoiler] I suppose it was just Cyn’s body anyway, the person I fell in love with was always the Solver of the Absolute fabric [/spoiler]
Worship the Solver as a God, love the Solver as a wife.
10/10 would make whole
>you clearly haven't spent enough time on the weird parts of the internet
You clearly haven't watched any of Liam Vickers' previous stories if you think the Solver is just a rogue AI.
I love my wife Cyn 🙂
Frick dammit the moron is still here...
This is (probably) exactly why we didn't get a Murder Drones Episode 7 teaser. You types would completely drown out the launch of TADC if there were one and Glitch doesn't want that.
You Black folk complaining about completely benign posts answering passive questions about a show tangentially related to the thread due to previous discussion / comparisons between ADC and MD are even more annoying than the MDgays you cry about.
Damn, imagine not reacting this bad at people just wanting to talk about thia thread's actual topic.
There is a MD thread after all, idk why are you reacting this bad instead of moving into said thread and been in peace.
Underage moron.
Now im obliged to think you're an attentional MD prostitute who's looking for some kick but can't get it in the actual MD thread 'cause how active it became.
>Underage and ESL
You're not making your case any better dipshit.
>Making accusations and trying to instigate tribegayging between MD and ADC, shows made by the same fricking studio with overlapping fandoms
You stupid tribegay, did you actually think anyone was going to bite this shit? Frick off back to twitter, we don't let tourists try and police threads here.
lmao look at this dood
Go back at the MD thread. Posting about MD in a non-MD thread is the actual tribegayging, moronino.
>S-so you are what I say you are!!
The final cries of the failed tribegay. Poetic. Nobody is buying this shit, cry about "duh MDgays!!" all you want, people calling out your autisn trying to start shit between shows / threads doesn't automatically make them your boogeyman.
>blatant samegayging
holy pathetic, batman. frick off already ESL tribeBlack person.
You type like an absolute tourist, suspicions confirmed. Go back to wherever you came from rat.
>"Now im obliged to think you're an attentional MD prostitute"
>Outs himself as a tribegay like this
You're not very smart, are you?
So, you ARE a MD prostitute looking for attention after all. Like clockwork.
honestly i dont even think the drilling thing is a "horny fetish" thing and more of an autistic obsession thing.
it would line up with all the other reoccouring elements in gooseworx stuff
twitterBlack folk don't care and just want to find the quickest route to nailing people doing well
Why does every ADC thread get infested with MDgays? I don't hate the show or its audience, but please, keep to your threads.
damn isn't like they both are produced by the same people or something...
So?
There isn't a lot to talk about regarding ADC right now until the pilot drops, and there is a lot of cross-discussion between both shows due to both of them being produced by Glitch. It's not like it's taking over the thread or anything, an anon literally just asked a question. Stop being a b***h.
I'm just a little peeved since I've been meaning to watch MD for months, but people are just openly discussing spoilers for it in an unrelated thread.
CYN KILLS DUMBLEDORE AND UZI IS A HORCRUX
You won't get the story discussion at all until you watch the shows, spoilers are inconsequential. When you watch the show you'll have to put together what's going on in your head anyway, and probably end up asking questions here if you missed anything. I wouldn't get peeved over it, it's literally a none issue.
Also watch the show.
>Also watch the show.
All in due time. Edgerunners sat for over a year in my torrents folder until I finally watched it 2 weeks ago. I must be in the right state of mind.
>Edgerunners
You play the Cyberpunk DLC yet? It's actually pretty good
>All in due time.
>Soon, another one to join the fold. Giggle.
Well there isn't much info out, so if it's taken so long to watch MD or Edgerunners, you probably shouldn't even be in this thread.
Wait a year for the dust to settle and then see if it's highly rated or not, then you can come back and complain about how you haven't watched ADC and you'd wish people would stop talking about it.
No, I'll be watching ADC as it comes out because it appeals to me. MD, however, at least on the surface level, doesn't appeal to me, same for its creator's other works. However, what I've heard about its premise interests me, so I'll check it out when I feel like it.

Independent music has never been more abundantly available in history that it is right now. The shit on the radio is made to appeal to the widest margin of the most generic chunk of the population. Dig a little and you’ll find plenty of music that isn’t about the same old shit.
Doesn't mean it's done all that well in a majority of cases.
A lot of it is just as shit though
That's by design.
It’s cute Pomni thinks the exit will be that easy
she is in my house
This show's starting to make me wonder how much you could frick with someone by labelling various doors,computers and other connection-themed paraphernalia "simulation exit (out of service)"
You can infinitely juke them out with that, they’re that desperate to escape
This show's making me wonder how much you could frick Pomni in one session.
>Pomni walks through a door labelled "EXIT"
>She actually wakes up
>Was only gone 5 minutes in the real world
>Lives her life, gets married, has a family
>A several decades later, she's lying on a hospital bed
>Surrounded by her family and friends
>Closes her eyes
>Drifts off peacefully
>Opens her eyes again
>She standing on the other side of the open door
>Caine pops up
>"Your 5 minute break is now over, back to the show!"
OH
JOY
>The floor before the true exit is littered with bodies.
>Of her, of Jax, of Ragatha, of the rest of her friends; even of some characters she doesn't recognize.
>Not killed, no signs of damage, just laying there.
>Blank eyes, staring forward, like...
>Ragdolls
>Even now, back in her body, back in the real world, in whatever facility could possibly house not just the simulation, but also the bodies of those trapped in it, she catches a glimpse on a computer screen as she seeks a way out.
>Even without her, the Circus goes on.
>They're all there, if her escape bothered Caine, he doesn't let it show.
>The others, they don't seem as chipper as they once were.
>They seem more cynical, dejected, listless.
>Rebellious
>Maybe they could follow her, maybe they could escape just as she had.
>She couldn't leave, not with the knowledge of what hell she'd left behind, and what people were still trapped in it.
>Capcha DRAMSA
>prey 2
im still mad
nice reference and writing
The pics for the next few days are gonna get darker, aren't they? Like the Western Spaghetti promos.
God that 2000's era VeggieTales render feel hits fricking hardest here
>no romance according to gooseworx
sorry but this is clearly a massive mistake
every show needs romance unless it's purely educational content like documentaries
murder drones gays try not to talk about their obsession in a completely unrelated thread challenge (impossible)
>existential horror
>allegory for hell
>cutesy thing is actually le edgy
>creator’s barely disguised fetish.
It’s a little tiresome
Series with dark themes but overall I hope there's a happy ending for everyone. If it's just misery porn I'll lose all interest.
>The show is described like IHNMAIMS looked like I Spy
Bear in mind, the AI in this show isn't hateful or evil. Just incredibly oblivious.
Still i wonder what caine s version of the hate speech because tbh i really love that speech. And also harlan ellison is a ridiculously amazing voice actor.
If this is anything like IHNMAIMS, the show is going to end with Ponmi finding a way for everyone else to escape and she's left alone with Caine
Too bad part of the story won't be Ragatha being the group's cumdump sexdoll due to Caine forcing her to be insatiably horny, with Jax being her favourite to have sex with due to his gigantic wiener.
The show hasn't come out yet anon, there may be hope yet.
And Kinger is a Nazi
>Ragatha being the group's cumdump sexdoll due to Caine forcing her to be insatiably horny
>Ragatha is constantly making advances towards (you) under the guise of friendly conversation
>Pomni’s staring around (you)r legs is nothing in comparison to Ragatha’s
>No seriously, Ragatha can’t stop thinking about (you)r dick, it occupies her mind even during performances, it’s making her slip up
>Wants (you) to frick the stuffing out of her so much, she’ll take any opportunity for a quickie with (you)
raggedy ann dolls creep me out but Ragatha doesn't
This post gave me a dumb idea
>once a year caine holds a crazy ass party
>the illegal kind. Filled with drugs and shit
>Everyone do the most dumbest shit either remembering all that happen last night or crash extremely hard
>anything goes
>Ragatha was probably wondering that these parties weren’t as extreme as Caine said they’d be
>They were
There being more than one girl means there’d be less of a gangbang thing going on anyway
Apparently not.
>Not wanting pomni to be the only female character trapped not because of the disturbing implications and how fricking bad Ellen Gets it in the story and game, but because "muh smurfette principle"
I cannot deal with This level of idiocy
They just want to maximize the number of cute girls getting eternally tortured, it’s understandable.
Seriously when i played ihnmaims am s speech towards ellen actually freaked me out with how he was weaponizing her trauma.
Yeah but that doesn't rule out Caine turning her into a motley bossblob forever
Porn. All of it. Mountains of creampied clussies beneath the wieners.
gay
Regardless of how good tadc is its still contributing to the indie animation boom and for that it is based.
If they’re a circus, who do they perform for?
My penis.
Bubble.
The truth is he isn't an AI created by Caine, he's Caine's creator who made him for entertainment, and since he's not the one masterminding the torment, it's more unexpectable and thus funner.
nah caine is the game dev who's trapped in his own creation, that's obvious from the wackywatch promo
bubble is perhaps an ai that gained sentience and malevolence
kids in the distant future.
Everyone in the digital circus is someone convicted of petty crimes serving life sentences and their punishment is to have their consciousness uploaded to a system controlled by CAINE to entertain young audiences around the world.
Forever.
Oh, they also can feel everything and can "die" but are simply brought back.
Pomni more like Porni lmao rekt (in every orifice)
pomni doesn't shave......
What if Pomni doesn’t even have hair?
that's why she doesn't shave
i want to run my finger down her treasure trail
Post licensed music that would be cool to add to the show. Hardmode: Australian bands only
The Church should be cheated.
show will be catered to antifa and blm homosexuals.
>the show will cater to gayBlack folk and the Black persongays
big doubt, be we'll see in 2 days
Goose has kept his ideology/religion out of his work so far, I don't think this will be any different.
What is goose religion ?
Hey Frenchie, want to know how I know you're French? It's the questionmark.
Place it against the last word of your sentence instead of leaving a space between.
But to answer your question, I'm talking about "woke" people, LGBT, transgenderism, etc.
It's rare that someone who is part of it doesn't use every opportunity to spread their religion, but exceptions do exist.
>Series by a creator who hasn't put overt politics in a single one of their cartoons in over a decade of doing this sort of thing
Seems unlikely.
I don't even think there has ever been a black person in a Gooseworx cartoon.
i don't think there has ever been a person in a gooseworx cartoon
There was the Thalasin guy but I can't think of anyone else.
?si=VeKuwhwFvCap6Hft
popee reminds me of Bunny Boy from Gummo
Dumb panel meme
Say the slurs, Bubble
Now who will play with caine?
Kinger gets all the rag-coochie.
Why does everyone want to frick the chess piece?
>Why does everyone want to frick the rabbit
FTFY
once you've been trapped long enough there's a certain point where you can't afford to be picky
Years of torment as the oldest living veteran of the circus have shorn away his ego and reduced him to a creature of pure id.
Raw, unfiltered, burning instinct.
>bathrobe
instantly one of the hottest thing i've ever seen, holy shit
How could they forget to introduce Kaufmo the Clown!
He has no nose and he must sneeze!
I hope he brutally dies.
He will frick with everyone in horrible ways.
He will be the Cyn of TADC.
I read that as "frick everyone in horrible ways".
I wish Cyn would frick me in horrible ways 🙁
Secret adc character leak shhhh
fricks sake, if this is what the MD guys have to deal with, what level of bullshit are we in for when matpat inevitably makes a video on TADC?
We filtered out the morons by ignore or throwing degeneracy at them. You'll learn to do the same
Get your own fricking thread murder drone schizos
You're literally the same underage Black person that says the same shit in every thread complaining about Murder Drones, frick off sperg.
The problem with having the thread focused solely on TADC is that TADC hasn't actually come out yet, so there's a distinct lack of things to talk about. You can hardly be surprised that the discussion will drift.
God it's this fricking guy again, do we have a name for him at this point or sonething?
elsagateanon
Um, so when is episode 1 actually coming?
It's been a "few days" since the thread was created.
44 hours
Two more days
>”magic? No, I’m sure there’s a perfectly rational explanation for all of this”
>"it can't be magic because magic isn't real"
ignore the uber moron homosexual.
It's clear the fricker is a complete media illiterate.
Many such cases of spergs being introduced to something by a blatantly incorrect MatPat video, unfortunately. I'm worried how he's going to butcher ADC if it's any bit as popular as MD.
Oh yeah, it's so annoyed how in such short time the MD fandom got plagued by the worst fans ive' seen (both moronic kids and imbecile manchildren). And it's completely MatPat's fault. That fricker has the Midas Touch of shit.
>Captcha: MPRAT
>MatPat has the Midas Touch of shit
kek well put.
>Bump limit reached
I await the pilot thread, lads. (or any thread that pops up before the pilot)
Can't wait to watch 'em suffer
is this a ryona show or something? If so, hot.
Yes
hoooorrayyyy!!! :]
Who's better in bed, Ragatha or Pomni?
Ragatha, because Pomni doesn't sleep very well anymore.
pomni is probably easier to rape
Ragatha
Probably inexperienced too
Both are built for intercourse with Jax
What about Gangle tho?
>Pomni is built for intercourse with both Jax and Ragatha
fify
Aye cracking open a cold one for Goose
Nice, happy birthday to Goose
The dronegays were extremely annoying in this thread.
Happy birthday you wonderful degenerate.
>The dronegays were extremely annoying in this thread.
the consequences of how plagued with absolute morons MD got...
Nobody cares you tribegayging morons, stop being upset because you got into some arguments and got BTFO
It was more that you had a stealth Murder Drones thread in a non-Muder Drones thread. That is annoying homosexual behavior and doesn't have anything to doing with being tribalistic.
It's literally the same people in both threads, there is not much to talk about in ADC threads until the episode drops. There was no MD thread up at the time so conversation inevitably drifted to MD because some matpat autist was being a stubborn moron. Just deal with it instead of b***hing every time.
>It's literally the same people in both threads
I have no interest in your gay edgy robot show and want to speculate about the funny clown show. At least have on topic moronic arguments.
leave, MatPatgay
Last for Kinger
... and Ragatha making out.
They were among the first, it was bound to happen
last for drone and jester solidarity
good
