Rock-afired for Coin * "Sort It Out"
Sometimes I forget this thread exists - until I'm reminded of Fechter's dumbassedness.
Here he has programmed the RAE for a new indie band, Coin, and an actually cool song. But notice how the characters receive a thank you at the end, not Aaron (he doesn't deserve one anyway) Scroll to the comments, where one fan asks "Why didn't Aaron get a mention" and he responds with "That's what I was wondering"...
In regards to an earlier comment, the Deadpool animatronic that appeared at San Diego Comic-Con was built by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Aaron threw a fit when a newspaper wrote an article about the appearance and mentioned this fact, whilst leaving out his godliness (blegh). I believe it was meant to be jerky, but that didn't stop Aaron from saying that those "kids in Los Angeles don't know how to do it right" or something to that effect.
During the documentary, he mentions that Gene Cramm (an SPT executive at the time) didn't offer him a "plug nickel" for the copyrights to the RAE. Knowing what we know, Aaron wouldn't have accepted this offer. In 1987,
CEI's Bandwagon to Higher Profits says that a complete Rock-afire show free-on-board from Orlando costs $125000 with additional showtapes costing $500 each. With the financial situation SPT had already been in, even if they were to offer any monetary amount to try and sell out Fechter, it's very safe to say that he wouldn't have been pleased with it.
SPT had no option.

The Rock-afire Explosion Simulator (Kickstarter)
Hold on to your hats..
A young gentleman named Ryan has established a Kickstarter project for something called the Rock-afire Explosion Simulator. What is this project, you may ask: virtual Rock-afire performance venue, complete with your favorite showtapes, with a new studio function to import your own MP3 files and program a REAL Rock-afire show! And see the real deal perform right before your eyes if you come on a CEI tour. All 100% licensed and permitted by Aaron himself.
Go figure this one...The goal appears to be $27350 with $1000 portioned for "legal". And as per Kickstarter's rules, there is a software prototype available for demonstration and there's a couple of videos up already. The final backing price for the finished software appears to be $30. They say Aaron is working with them every step of the way to make the process authentic as it can be.
I'm just so confused...such a change of heart!
