Awesome! I backed Tadpole Treble and I'm glad it might come to the Wii U! Brawl in the Family is my favorite web comic and I hope some of you guy's will support this game too. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/437762268/tadpole-treble Here's the link if you'd like to look at it and make a decision.

Thanks for the great response, I was pretty embarrassed but relieved that this phase of our game is over!

I guess that was the last time you act crazy on the phone.

Haha, that's insane! I know the feeling when spam numbers keep calling my phone...
Anyways, I really should back Tadpole Treble when I get the money... I really want it for Wii U!

A) Download an auto call recorder for your phone.
B) Tell them to stop calling you.
C) Profit. No, really, sue them in small claims court and get paid.
If they don't stop calling, more profit. If they do, you win.
I also read that you can charge them 9.99 per minute like the phone sex lines, though I am not exactly certain how to do that. Google it.

Thanks for the advice! I may have to look into that.

I wonder how this works in two party consent states.
ZincAddict ยท 19 points ยท Posted at 03:55:54 on November 22, 2013 ยท (Permalink)
The same thing happened to me once!
Ok, not quite the same. Basically I was looking for a scollarship to go to college and one day I received a phone call really early in the morning (about 07:05). I looked at the number and it ended in 2000, just like my best friend's number. So I picked it up, and yelled "What the F*** do you want at this hour?"
Naturally, after pretending they didn't hear me, I spoke on the phone with the guys at the university which by the way, weren't keen on granting me any scollarship after what had just happened :S
No worries, I got to study at an even better one :P (still feel pretty embarrassed tough)

Why would you do that in the first place? Do you have aspbergers?
kjetulf ยท 9 points ยท Posted at 12:05:15 on November 22, 2013 ยท (Permalink)
If it's your best friend, it'll probably be fine to cuss him off without him minding or thinking it's really weird at all.

How would you re-act to having someone call you at 7 in the morning? It'd be pretty frustrating since you'd be tired as hell.

I really don't think it's that ridiculously early, I may be old though.

It's early for a phonecall.

Phone calls between 9 PM and 9 AM are verboten unless expected.
[deleted] ยท -1 points ยท Posted at 21:08:36 on November 22, 2013 ยท (Permalink)
Agreed. 7 is not 4. And there's no reason to behave that way at any time.

Oh man I can't wait! I'm trying to get a WiiU for Christmas, so maybe it'll be the first game I'll play :)

He yelled at who he thought was a telemarketer, but it was really Nintendo telling him he's an official developer.

You just know the rep knew, the whole freak out he was thinking "oh god this is Bob's game all over again, fucking indies."

I hadn't seen that before. Wow, that guy is crazy. Were people actually agreeing with that guy's crazy protests?

Right at the beginning the media circuit picked it up and painted him as a victim, then he went totally nutcase and everybody just grabbed the popcorn.

The really funny part is that if they keep calling after he tells them to stop, he can take them to small claims court and get a few thousands of dollars, repeatedly, until they finally stop calling him... That is why they stopped for a month when he told them to stop. So he didn't need the crazy/desperate response in the first place.

I didn't even know the BiTF artist was working on a game. Good stuff from what I seen. I always read BiTF in spurts. One of the few good contemporary gaming webcomics out there.
Yo Matt if you read this I swear to get your game on Wii-U when its out. Love me some rhythm games.

Fuck, I found his way of explaining the story to be very cringey. Not his fault I suppose, but I honestly couldn't make it half way through the video.

@matthewtaranto https://www.donotcall.gov/ will fix your telemarketer calls. Submit your phone number to the federal do-not-call registry and it will be illegal for telemarketers to call. Each time they do will cost a $1000 or $5000 fine per call. Even better, you can report the callers/numbers and the feds will take action. It's a lot less hassle and trouble-prone than trying to take action directly.
