Oh my God...

We understand this is something that has never been done but in 1492 Christopher Columbus went out into the sea and everybody told him he was going to fall off the end of the world but with his risk and passion we now know the earth is round and without his will and guts we would not be where we are today. The point i am trying to make nothing is risk free 16 years ago there was no internet but one man changed that. HEDY LAMARR was a actresses in the 1930's she came up with guided torpedoes for world war 2 she called and called the US army, government but no one listened because she was beauty and she was a actresses. My point is no one can understand vision if it was the 1930's are 1492 would kickstarter be a place to support like Hedy Lamarr and Christopher Columbus.

This is so inspiring!

The sad part is i was approached by someone similar to this once to make a game and he showed me MS paint art for guns. He wanted to make a FPS that was basically halo in Australia plus MRES for health packs.

People would play that if it's a CoD/Battlefield DLC.

I'm actually blown away they have some actual in-engine video to show off, and it isn't complete poo poo (it is poo poo though). I'm going to assume they're using Unity? God drat you Unity, at least before it was pretty obvious to tell the poo poo games from the half-way decent ones by looking at a single screenshot of the engine. Now anybody is free to download unity and the most basic bullshit and then make a couple lovely models and think they understand game development... :argh:

It really doesn't even look like an engine, It looks like he took a 3D modeling program and compiled a bunch of 3D objections into one scene and put it into a sort of presentation mode and flew the camera around. I doubt he has any thing more than that to show.

Yes, it was and RPG (the 'developer') put it on his Kickstarter page. There was also HATE TROLL TIM (named after a goon who criticized him) but he removed the rendering of that leg already.

Good god that wallet is terrible. It doesn't even have card slots or a moneyclip or anything useful, it's entirely form over function and the form isn't even all that appealing

It's just a cheap elastic band on the inside like you'd find on a pair of basketball shorts or something, it's going to wear out eventually under any amount of strain from cards or bills.

So they say it holds 8 kg of weight, but show it holding 2 1.25 kg weights? Last time I checked, 2*1.25 is 2.5, not 8.

Only the front is 1.25. Judging from diameter I'd say the others are like 3kg each

That looks like four weights to me. I.e. two of them could be 2.75 kg each.

Ah, I thought that was just part of the same weight that was raised a bit, I guess it is a separate one. My bad.

If they're standard metric weights it would be 2x 1.25kg and 2x 2.5kg, so 7.5kg and not 8kg.

Which doesn't detract from the fact that it's a stupid way to prove the durability of a wallet hinge.

$3.50 for my latte? Let me just get out my super strong wallet. Hold on a second, I have to take everything in my wallet out so I can find my debit card. There you go. Now to spend 30 second putting everything back in it. Sure, it's a huge pain in the rear end, but it's all worth it to know that my wallet can hold up 8 kg of weight.

They're really common outside of the US where you have to carry $1 or £1 coins, they'll have a zippered compartment for them. In practice, they just make your wallet exceptionally heavy and bulky.
