I keep seeing ads for cotton candy flavored vape pods on tumblr and it made me wonder…

Why/Why not in the tags?

I’m interested because I feel like when I was in high school/college in the mid-10s, almost nobody smoked - even if you otherwise had some pretty hard vices. I think it was considered not really worth it for something with such a small buzz. But now, idk. Maybe the advertisers are right to target people here because it’s just that popular again??

The worst thing about the leering clown is that if it wasn't an ad it would be fucking hilarious. Capitalism really does ruin everything.

The mystery of the Half Life babies.

Original post here!

Info under the cut !!

I got a lot of comments on my last post about old half life advertisements asking what the hell is up with the three separate posters including scary babies and children with lambda symbols burned into their eyes. I didn't really think much of it at first but in hindsight, yeah, that is really weird.

I decided if I wanted to keep my self-made title of "Black Mesa's Historian" I should go digging.

After searching and searching I've found...... nothing.

Old reddit threads and forums theorize it's supposed to represent the Nihilanth, the only baby-like creature in the game (ignoring the photo in Gordon's locker.)

In the Half Life 2 book Raising The Bar, Gabe Newell states the Nihilanth's design was heavily influenced "by the horror aspects of pregnancy and childbirth, to which Valve turned after being inspired by the birth of Gray Newell, Gabe Newell's son."

The Nihilanth's wiki entry.

BUT this doesn't really answer much. Because these ads were NOT made by Valve. They were made by Sierra, a European publishing company responsible for publishing the Half Life series. After going through their games history I've discovered a crucial detail.

They had no idea how to advertise this game.

Police Quest (1987), Leisure Suit Larry (1987), Quest for Glory (1989)

You see, these were the games Sierra was making. 2d point and click adventures. How they somehow managed to get their hands on Half Life is beyond me, and for another post.

All I can assume is Sierra didn't know how to advertise this 3D survival horror FPS made by rowdy Americans to their European audience.

Postal (1997), Resident Evil (1996), Doom (1995)

Remember, this was the 90s. Gaming was the next big hobby for boys. Advertising wasn't meant to show you gameplay, characters, and story. It was meant to be rough, scary, gorey, and awesome. Sierra probably took inspiration from the dozens of other dark shooters around at the time and based their campaign around that. Why they picked babies with evil eyes.. I don't know.

In the end, we may never know the true thought process behind the evil Half Life babies, it doesn't stop me from trying though.

once again

this is not okay

this shouldn’t have to be said at all because come the fuck on guys. we all should know better.

i don’t fucking care if this is meant as a joke or not. this is not funny. this is not something to joke about. we do not joke about traumatic events or wishing harm on other people like this.

there is no “frank i’m so mad at you for teasing mcr shit i hope you die”. what the fuck is going on in your life that you think this is an okay thing to post or verbalize?

but here we are again: this is the shit that makes a part of me hope we don’t get mcr5 and wishes we didn’t hear anything from MCR. shit like this.

if this is how people are going to be then we don’t deserve anything from MCR and the guys as a whole. this is completely unacceptable.

do better and grow the fuck up.~🎃

Based off this post and @empressgeekt ‘s AU I decided to make my own mini comic! Mainly because I wanted to try figuring out how to work using colored pencils again. Had to play with the filters due to some lighting issues 😅

The first time it happened he was worried he’d get in trouble for teaching Keith to shoot arrows. Thankfully Dr. Moonbloom doesn’t care.

Second time was deja vu for him which made it a bit funny, Poppy on the other hand was panicking because Branch had only recently gotten better enough to fire arrows.

JD, Viva, and Keith are snorkeling while Poppy supervises Keith so Branch can take a turn swimming around. Bruce is with Floyd relaxing on the beach.
