Thank you to everyone who responded to my last journal and signed the petition!  We are still looking for signatures.

Here is an update on what happened at the meeting last night.  It's quite clear the opposition knows nothing about the keeping of snakes, nor of snakes in general given that the woman spearheading the opposition held up a picture of a cobra (Thomas's snakes are boas, of the subspecies boa constrictor imperator) and spouted off inane, completely false information about the animals in an attempt to strike fear into the audience's hearts.

Now, Thomas's local news channel Fox13 is looking for comments on the situation.  A lot of folks wrote really great responses to my journal yesterday - if you have a few moments, please leave your thoughts here.  You can copy paste your response to my journal yesterday if you need to, anything is appreciated!  

Thank you all again.

There is a problem about video games I would like to suggest for you to cover on Extra Credits (if you don't want me asking about it here, I'm sorry, but I want to make sure this gets to you, because it's important to me.): My problem is about skip-able cut scenes, you see, I'm a big fan of the Kingdom Hearts series and I love talking about it with my friends. However, one friend I talked to said something that upset me:

"I've played the game, but I skipped all of the cut scenes. All, I know is that the main character's hair changes from blonde to brown for some reason."

He then went on to say that he didn't really like the game that much. And I thought to myself, "Well maybe if you didn't skip the cut scenes,you would have liked it better!" D:<

What I mean to say is, there should be a mechanic in games like Kingdom Hearts (that tell their story mostly through cut scene), that makes it so that the first time you view a cut scene in-game you are unable to skip it. Then, you should be able to save your game afterwards so that the game knows: "Oh, you've already seen this scene, you can go ahead and skip this." (Obviously, this would be poor design for games who play like the first several hours of FFXIII.)

Video games aren't just about the game play, they're about the story the game is trying to tell, too. If you're going to skip out on the cut scenes because they are an inconvenience to you, then you might as well, say you've never played the game at all. Because when people talk about a game, most tend to talk about BOTH the story AND the game play; and if all you've experienced is the game play, then you're missing out on half a conversation, making new friends, and most importantly, one of the key parts of what makes video games so much fun.

Again, I'm sorry if you did not want questions about Extra Credits posted on here, but I have you on my deviant watch, and technology loves to cause me problems. So this is the only way I could be sure that you would get a hold of this message, without it being lost in translation somewhere.

I also want to say, that I love your work, both here and on the show. What I love about Extra Credits is how well and how bravely you discuss the controversial topics that most people would be too scared to touch with a ten-foot-long pole. I really appreciate the work you guys do.

The whole point of skippable cut scenes is to allow every player to play the game in their own way. Just because you like to watch cut scenes (as do I) does not mean that every other player should have to watch them as well (because everyone's definition of 'fun' is different). It's a bit unfair to expect developers to force all gamers to watch long cut scenes they may not be interested in watching; some gamers just want to play games whether you like it or not.

Hi,

I'm doing a project for my professional practice class and we have to choose an artist who inspires us and do an interview with them. I understand if you are busy and can't make time for a skype call. I would appreciate a message back for response.

Thank you so much for the favorite. This sounds so goofy and cliched, but you're one of my all-time favorite artists, and getting a notification that you'd favorited one of my pieces seriously made my day.
