Just once I wanna see a dude wearing women's underwear and lipstick holding a circular saw over his bound and struggling victim in a room covered in plastic "Oh I didn't see you there"

The General posted:Couldn't make it past him "surprised" by the camera. I really loving hate that. I'll take your word that the rest is terrible. There's a part where he struggles to make an after effect appear. A part where he acts out stuff that will be in the game like punching for "fighting moves" including sound effects, him putting on an effeminate voice and gesture for "shopping", and "wearing" 8bit glasses. And a part with him talking to an NES wearing a bowler, monocle, muscular arms, and a mustache. That's about the point I shut it off and decided I didn't really want a new River City Ransom game.

I went back. Because I am weak. You missed the part where two guys doing stuff pop in and play videogames with their new friend. Then a girl pops in who was "Doing nothing" being going there, doesnt like videogames, then horribly mashes buttons on an xbox controller. (Everybody else had Playstation controllers. I realize windows (probably) wouldn't care, but gently caress it annoyed the poo poo out of me)

Has there really been that much unserved demand for miniature fashion wallets anyway? I thought a wallet was pretty much a wallet, I got mine from a gas station, oh god have people at the checkout line been silently judging my sloppy wallet all along

Bigass wallets are uncomfortable in tighter pants and they jut out noticeably. That probably wasn't a big issue over a decade ago when young people were going around in sagged JNCOs or whatever. I switched from a huge triple billfold deal to a wallet with a money clip when I stopped being a fat turd and could wear skinny jeans.

Okay. I'll accept your premise for a second about skinny jeans and ask why do we need 50 bajillion new designs of microwallets? There's already plenty of microwallets available elsewhere. Wal-Mart sells thin wallets, microwallets, and money clips. That's how available this poo poo is. It's not like people are sitting around with their credit cards and money wadded into a zip-lock bag, just waiting for the day when their Kickstarter microwallet finally ships. Hey that gives me an idea... *Buys a few boxes of zip-lock bags* *Registers a Kickstarter project for a "Waterproof femtowallet made of space-age soft plastic and flavor-seal technology! Fits all iPhones and Android smartphones. Made of food-safe chloroethylene polymers. 100% chemically organic and made in a completely radical and totally bitchin' chain reaction that actually removes dangerous, carcinogenic vinyl chloride from the local environment! Check out our Board Game Piece Wallet or our line of femto-thin Nintendo 3DS, Sony Vita, Ouya, and Playstation 4 soft cases!"* Did I hit all the kickstarter bases?

I think even allowing for the idea that there is a market for minimalist or unusual wallets, the point stands that the bulk of these Kickstarter wallets are terrible even by the standards of minimalist wallets.

It's not like people are sitting around with their credit cards and money wadded into a zip-lock bag, just waiting for the day when their Kickstarter microwallet finally ships. I was simply talking about why I thought there was a general increase in the market for smaller wallets- I'm as annoyed as you are over how much of a fad "unique" wallets have become on KS. Hell, I got my minimalist wallet from a Macy's. I think the reason there are these sorts of big trends in KS projects is because: 1- Dickheads who thought they had a unique idea for a product see someone else's pitch for the same basic thing and rush in so as to not miss their opportunity to shine. While doing so, they may unconsciously (or consciously) incorporate memorable or popular aspects of their competition/influences' products resulting seemingly innocuous aspects that all of the competing products share. 2- Dickheads who want to make a quick buck/start a quick business see what's popular on KS and copy it in an attempt to ride the wave. The more people doing it, the stronger the perceived wave. I'm sure you could write a pretty fascinating sociology thesis on Kickstarter crowd behavior.

All these stupid wallets will be useless once I roll out my kickstarter for putting an RFID chip in your wrist and scanning your retinas as a replacement for credit/debit cards and driver's licenses. Next comes the app for trading digital business cards and suddenly you might only need a wad of rolled up cash with a rubber band (rubber microwallet) holding it all together. e: vvv You did not know iPhones existed?

I know ghosts don't exist, but that doesn't mean I won't go hunting for them. This guy wants $20,000 for his project, but he clearly didn't think his audience through. Believers won't fund him because he's a skeptic, and skeptics won't fund him because they don't need a documentary to tell them there's no such thing as ghosts. From the 'risks and challenges' section:quote:The only other challenge is if ghosts are real, and they don't like what we are trying to prove (or disprove). I have no idea if her book is any good, but I'm posting it here anyway because this is a good example of how not to crowdfund your project. The actual pitch doesn't start until halfway down the page. Everything before that, including the pitch video, is entirely about her feral cats. Don't let any of that keep you from funding her project though. It's just a hundred bucks for an autographed copy of the book. (Yes. That's the lowest reward tier).

Finding truth has never been as important as looking for it.

Kickstarter iAccessories can be stupid and frivolous as poo poo but going all "iSheep be spending all their mad trust fund monies on overpriced toys for their overpriced toys" is annoying and about as edgy in 2013 as tubgirl. It makes you sound like a 16 year-old getting all "Think different?" More like "Think GAMER!" Win7 FTW!!!" on Engadget.

Where most companies hoping to break into wrist-tech are trying to build devices that integrate multiple functions into a sleek and user-friendly package, these guys seem to imagine a world where everyone walks around with like three different bands on each wrist like Bananas Gorilla.
