Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

I'm actually a vidya developer IRL and wanted to add a piece of True and Honest content to our new game as a player "patch" or decal that could be sprayed in the world

Sadly all the vidya trolls have ruined the chance of Chris ever seeing his art actually in a game as any attempt to ask him about it would be written off as trolling (quite understandably )

Probably for the best as corporate legal would probably not want to deal with the demands of a man child even if it actually happened, and Chris likely gives zero f.cks about FPS games no matter how many millions of people are playing it :geek:

Well... you could always go and just make a parody of Sonichu which would fall under fair use or whatever it's called.

Or you go ahead and use Asperchu instead, you know. :asperchu:
As silly as it sounds, I would love to see his reaction to Asperchu being part of a mainstream videogame...
 
Lol, yes I wanted to use Asperchu at first, but there's a legal minefield when dealing with derivative works and despite being a big fan of CWC our UI guy didn't want to risk inadvertently giving CWC the tugboat of his dreams from suing us.. much less incurring the wrath of Sega or Nintendo :evil:

It would have to be an original creation Honest and Certified but even if he agreed to giving us a piece I can imagine CWC would expect to be allowed some executive oversight, demanding it be used as box art or replace the main character.

This was mostly for the lulz but Chris deserves a chance to see his work in vidya after so many disappointments

Well he lives in a fairly rural area, so he needs a license to do something as simple as getting a can of coke. And at various points he did drive to more productive things like school and jobs.

I think Chris driving is driven by practicality. He never says anything like "I am an adult, I can drive." It's just the way he gets around.

I just read up on how to get a driver's license in Virginia. Do I understand this correctly, only after failing the road test three times you are required to actually take training? Holy shit.

Where he lives there is certainly no way he could get around without being chauffered by Borb. There probably isn't even a bus route in walking distance. They most certainly made sure he got a license so they'd be off the hook for that. In VA they offer driver's ed in school. The first part is a ridiculously simple in class driving rules course. You basically just need to know what signs mean and when you can turn/pass. The second half is in-car. Usually the instructor takes out 3 students at a time and they all take turns. Usually everybody pretty much sucks, so he passes you unless you're totally gonna put people in danger (i guess Chris jumped this hurdle, or the instructor thought no harm, no way this tard can get a car of his own). After that they give you a license and you don't even have to go to the DMV. Then every 5 years you have to go in and take 15-20 question test that proves you remember simple rules of driving. VA cops pretty much only pull you over if speeding or they suspect you're drunk. If he drove the speed limit he could totally drive around like an asshole. It's possible cops have pulled him over but realized they couldnt do anything about driving while potato.

For some reason I always interpreted that room as connected with the Home Ec class Chris took with those girls. Looking back, I am not sure there is a lot of evidence for my interpretation.

I don't really agree with the tone of this. I don't think Chris is incapable of driving. Yes he had the Michael Snyder incident, but that was him acting out on purpose. No way a driving examiner could have spotted his propensity to do that. He does seem to be a mildly shitty driver, but not legendarily bad. And he makes up for it by being pretty cautious. He had one small fender-bender in a parking lot in 15 years of driving, which seems perfectly reasonable.

I also don't see why we should say that his parents got him to drive so they would be "off the hook" for driving him around. They got him his license because he had the mental capacity to do things like run errands, go to school, go to work. What possible reason would they have for preventing him from doing these things by not letting him drive.

By the minimum standards that society has in place, Chris is an acceptable driver. He lives in an area where driving is necessary. So he drives. What is the issue?

That sounds much easier than in Michigan. As I said, you either have to pay hundreds of dollars for driver's ed, or your parents or family friends can teach you after meeting some parameters (Particularly license class.). The tests here are about 50-60 multiple choice questions and several write-in questions, that must be completed and updated every few years. The police here will pull you over for anything, even if you didn't stop at a stop sign long enough. My dad once said one of his coworkers was pulled over for driving one mile over the speed limit. But they didn't fine him.

He's a better servant to the hoard for one thing. Especially since he has the mental capacity to run errands means having him get a driver's license increases Borbs quality of life a lot.
Chris having a car and a license does increase his quality of life as well, obviously. So it's neither pure egotism on Borbs side nor is it pure benevolence, I'd say.
At best it's a neutral "It's better for all of us and it's what people around that age do..." thing.

Well, he is operating a 1 ton vehicle that's more than capable of ruining someones day... but as you have already pointed out, he's been driving around for over 10 years now and he only had one minor accident out of neglect, a few close calls where he nearly ran over a few mallcops out of panic and one hell of a ride when Snyder rubbed his shins on his bumper.
So I guess him driving a vehicle might be problematic in theory, but as we can plainly see by his driving history, he's not really a threat (unless you're a snake).

I mean you are right. He can drive, and pretty much everyone else is just as likely to get in an accident. Just saying he drives like an asshole. Just watch his driving videos. This might be no big deal, since Virginia is pretty much known for having terrible drivers in general, so he might just be blending in.

Having said that I'm surprised he didn't lose his license in that vehicle related incident with Snyder. VA courts love taking away licenses even for non-driving related offenses.

Chris is the one getting Barbs medicine from the drugstore and buys food, so I guess the judge was taking that into account.

She also didn't lose her license.

Edit: But either way, they just had an accident. Do they usually take people's licenses away for leaving the scene of an accident?

It was an accident involving a car, or rather: failing to properly control oneself while operating a car... so I could see how a judge might punish that by taking away someones driver's license... but I certainly have no clue how that works in Virginia so it's just a wild guess.
Be that as it may: Both kept their license and I assume the judge either had his reasons for doing so or he actually can't take them away for misdemeanors.

This has probably been discussed a thousand times, but with all the Jace stuff happening I figured I might as well ask. What event/reveal/evidence was it that made you all, personally, become irrevocably convinced that CWC was real?
I was really late to this saga and there was just so much evidence at that point. But Jace's situation is really confusing what is/isn't definitive evidence.. it seems a lot of people thought "the tale of the crazy pacer" was hard evidence but someone who wanted to could fake that too.
Are you rethinking any of the "definitive" pieces of evidence proving CWC was a real person in light of Jace? I mean, it's pretty clear he is real this far along but in retrospect maybe some of those smoking guns from CWC's past weren't as solid as people thought.

It would have struck me as a possibility for the judge to consider something like suspending the license pending completion of some anger management course or the like. It was a driving-related offense. There was an intentional act of leaving the scene. The events in the parking lot were serious negligence in the best case scenario.

But as people have pointed out, the location of Casa Chandler would make that a very serious punishment. I think that the general theory behind punishments like that is "take the bus for a few months and you will learn the lesson that driving is a serious thing". That wasn't possible for the Chandlers, so a judge would be a little more reluctant to take away their driving privileges.

That's my main point. If you saw Chris driving he wouldn't stand out as a particularly bad driver. And he certainly wouldn't stand out as a reckless driver. Chris seems to get way to much flak for things he is just kind of shitty at. Driving is one of those.

It's the combination of things. First, the Watch n Win video. You can't fake that, so either they saw that and decided to name their autistic character a variation of that kid and act/dress similarly or it's genuine.

Add that to all the actual stuff you can find about Bob and Barb, so they would have to be an actual married couple using their actual names to facilitate some random kid's off Broadway shit. And, assuming Cole didn't consent to it, they dragged him in, too. And Cole never told.
 
To answer the question of why Chris might have been on Honor Roll:

In my highschool, an 85 average was good enough for honor roll. It didn't matter if you were in AP, Middleclass, or Prepclasses, if you had an 85 in your average, you were in, weighting didn't matter Where he is, I wouldnt be surprised if 80 was the goal for it. So, there is a chance that Chris, who was in a few Prepclasses had an average that was acceptable to the requirements of the Honor Roll. High Honors was a 90 something average, which it is apparent that he didn't get.
