quote:

Let see, the creator of the “Coop” works with Real FX Design. Real FX Design are the people who did the Kickstarter video for this Firefly campaign:
http://www.realfxdigital.com/Commercials02.html

They also created a short film involving the green Firefly. This was referenced by Richard in Update #17. If you watch the video for that campaign,
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1617369417/firefly-a-short-film%85

You will see the creator of the “Coop”, Jammy, is in that video. Also, if you look at the profiles for the creator’s of both the “Coop” and the “Firefly short”, you will see they both have left “glowingly” positive comments under this Kickstarter campaign.

as shameful as it is to admit, i backed that dumb blue laser light thing, because blue lasers

also he doesn't "work with" real fx design, he (e: and ONE other guy, ok) IS real fx design, because all it takes to call yourself a company these days is the 5 bucks for the domain name

no probably because "realfxdigital" sent out a bajillion emails telling people about the coop bottle opener

which probably came from the firefly backer list

“I am pissed,” Ouya chief executive Julie Uhrman wrote in a Kickstarter update. “Some of you have not yet received your Ouya — and, to you, I apologize. I did not promise to ship to most of you before we hit store shelves. I promised to ship to all of you. I’ve been reading your comments, and we are working to resolve this.”

i feel like anyone who willingly gave money to something called Ouya deserves to get nothing, and in fact should be further penalized come tax time

The Paravelo promises to revolutionize the way we travel for work, play and adventure. Ride. Fly. Camp. You choose.

The XploreAir Paravelo is the world's first flying bicycle; a conventional two-wheeled bike that transforms into an easy-to-operate aircraft requiring no licence to fly and capable of altitudes of up to 4,000ft.

We've spent two years developing an advanced prototype and testing it on the ground and in the air. We need £50,000 to finalize the design so you can buy it off the shelf.

With your support we can change forever the way we travel.

Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

oh my god it has an engine

they dont make that clear

it has a loving engine thats how the fan works



In order to fly, the bike docks with its trailer, a flexible wing is unfurled and an electric starter motor fires up the biofuel-powered fan.

tyvek is completely unbreathable so this will provide basically the same comfort level as wrapping your feet in saran wrap
