Until you realize early on that it's as much a piece of shit as we said it is. Then it's going to be "Buy me a Mac Pro NOW NOW NOW!"
Addressing the part I bolded: If that's what you take away from this, then maybe you should pack it in and quit.

I'm getting the Mac mini, not the Pro
 
@Joe_Cracker
I watched some of Ziggy The Maniac. You bought an HD camera for THAT?? What benefit does HD provide such an awful unfunny series besides letting us count the blackheads on your nose in the extreme closeups? I did like the one where you dressed up as Chris Chan and you and your brother shot roman candles right at the camera. Good thing you missed huh?

all I want to do is make some new DVD extras and all this from these trolls are just code to me saying and telling people they don't want that.

How much demand is there for these extras? You're small enough to where you can track this on your own. Why should the consumer buy this if they already have a copy? Heck last I heard Unknown Monster (or whatever it's called) only sold 11 copies. That's nowhere near enough to warrant a special edition.

You shouldn't be focused on shooting new footage for a movie you already released or begging for money. If you really want to be productive you should work on new projects whether it's filming or writing the script. Coming on here waiting for someone here to pay for your computer is a waste of time.
 
You know what, Joe? You should get a Cray supercomputer. Those are pretty versatile, and for all I know, fairly cheap, since I've never looked up the cost. Or, if a Cray is too complex, perhaps you can get an abacus. And when I say 'abacus', I don't mean an obscure computer brand, I literally mean the ancient counting device. Regardless of whatever you get, you're going to have to dig the money out of your own pocket, is my point.

Everyone stop listening to the trolls, start listening to me. If you don't have I need to help pay for what I need I understand. Find those who do and maybe they will listen.

what if you set up a meeting at a burger king rather than a mcdonalds?

^^THIS. What Joe needs to be doing is cranking out projects as fast as he can. Write them, act them, cut them, be done. He can and should save up for better equipment, but to let that get in the way of his work here and now is what keeps him from being a serious artist. He's pulling a Sonichu.

I'm actually really impressed with The Unknown Creature and Ziggy. Not because I find either technically competent, but because both are cases where Joe say down one day, made something, and put it out all on his own. That's a legitimate accomplishment, and one achieved without any e-begging.

Now Joe is back to panhandling, which means he's depending on others to do the heavy lifting, which means his projects are going nowhere.

I produced something with every single computer I've had. I got a few more projects in the works after I'm done with the TUC re-release.

You've also promised stuff that was never delivered with every single computer you've ever had. Your fans need to know they can depend on you.

You mean projects that proved more complex then they turned out to be, I'm still working on them. Haven't given up.

Projects? With an S? Plural? As in more than one project was too complex for what you promised vs. what you could do? That's bad business to happen even once. No wonder no one will give you more money, you have a terrible track record for completion.

That's why you need to communicate with your fans and give status reports. If you don't tell people you're WORKIN' ON IT, we assume you're giving up.

You playas should never assume I've given up on anything unless I publicly annouce such a statement. Fritz and Pitz just needs a proper voice cast that's all.

I know it's terrible, maybe that because I never recieved help from anyone.

If it is a labor of love, because you just HAVE to create, you should never rely on other people to help you. You should never promise anything to a customer/fan if you can't get it done on your own. Under promise/Over deliver, not the other way around. It isn't a hard concept to grasp.

Hate to be that guy but proof? You can't just say you're working on something without proof.

@DrChristianTroy brings up a good point. If you are late, you have to show why, and constantly. Be very transparent about why things are running behind or can't be done. In the long run customers will respect you more.
