Waffleman_ posted:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/902655470/headflat-the-smartphone-hands-free-solution It looks like the weight of the phone would pull the hat off. Is there any way to counterbalance it? Maybe by adding a coffee cup holder to the back of the hat?

HeadFlat is a terrible name. I don't get it. Why not call it "HeadsUpGaming" or "GameHUD" or something like that?!  "HeadHolder", anything would be more descriptive than "Head Flat". Sounds like your brain has hit a bump and is quickly going stupid, better put some air in there before you get "HEADFLAT(tm)"

People had those things like 10 years ago holding the old bricky iPod Video devices and those weighed a lot more than a modern phone. So i think it's probably find.

DoctorPresident posted:"Keep Calm and Steal Content" "lovely kickstarter posted:But should you wish to have a digital download as well, I would be more than happy to send you one. In any color you like!  The whole project is dumb and missed the "Keep calm and ___" fad by about a year but on top of that the reward tiers make no sense. There's no option to just buy a shirt, you can only get it bundled with 15 buttons or stickers. The really really dumb part of this is that a spell check wouldn't flag "clam" as an error.

How could you have been playing a virtual boy for years? It gives you terrible headaches after five minutes of use and had nogames. Why would you do that to yourself?

I don't know what amazes me more - the ingenuity of some scammers, or the stupidity of the internet. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/susanwilson/9-year-old-building-an-rpg-to-prove-her-brothers-w?ref=category The gist: White middle-class mom wants 900 bucks for her  widdle daughter (who plays on PS3 and Kindle HD) to visit RPG Camp so she can make an RPG. This is because a.) her brothers called her a poopyhead and this is clearly the best solution and b.) it's a meaningful step to make "Girls in Tech" (verbatim quote from the thumbnail) more relevant.The first reason would classify this as a light-hearted parody kickstarter, the second one however is just impossible to fathom in human thoughts.

I read this first part and assumed that it is a joke, right? Its in for almost $3,000 funded for a $829 goal so I can't tell anymore.

I'll be using using RPG Maker®, a massively popular RPG (role-playing game) development tool–user-friendly for beginners, but powerful enough for advanced game developers. The camp says "an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, RPG Maker®’s extensive library of characters and tile-based environments will have you creating fantastic RPG worlds, maps and awesome heroes. Take home your custom role-playing game for you and your friends to put to the test! Students will be introduced to the concepts of tiling, pixel art and conditional statements in creating their own top-down 2D RPG. This unique tool allows beginners to create a polished game that includes story dialogue boxes, custom items, and weapons, as well as battles with enemies and bosses." That's some grade A viral marketing.
