Feedback on the video from Something Awful:

Also, no offense, but the newspaper could use better typography. Like, Sim City 2000 did it better and that was dinosaur times. The font used for the race names is especially glaring to my eyes.

I guess my issue is: these feel like computer screen fonts, not newspaper header mods. Also, only a third of the newspaper being filled in and the webdings-y font for "shit you can't read" both look like ass. I understand this isn't exactly your top priority, but hey, feedback.

EDIT: Wait, aren't lizards supposed to be libertarians? Asking for censorship isn't very libertarian... although libertarians being all "freedom, freedom, rah rah!" except when there's something they don't like and then banning it is perfectly fine is realistic, I suppose.


I agree that the newspaper font could be better, but you have been playing with the fonts in the game, so it shouldn't be hard.


Yeah, I am not a Libertarian, but some of the things the Lizards support don't seem terribly Libertarian - those guys gimmick is "government out of everything, free market will solve everything". I was surprised to hear one supporting government-provided healthcare (granted, she did say that the company should provide the care for it's employees injured on the job).

On the other hand...

It was kinda the same with the Elf, he was less interested in the truth and more upset about embarrassing stories about him appearing in the paper.
