It's a romance game, but they need the most money to actually add the romance CG scenes in.

Look at how profound I am; a veritable half-Buddha, half Jesus, half Kierkegaard. I even copyrighted the term "LOLAism", because I'm that goddamn deep. The movie has yet to be released, but I can already say that I liked the book better. Bizzler.com belongs to my favorite type of crowdfunding campaigns, namely for services that address problems that don't exist. If I'm a big company that sells car insurance and I want everyone to know my product is the cheapest, I'll find someone to make me a commercial in which a bright green CGI cricket sings about my low monthly rates. If I want the ad to also be funny or clever, I'll hire people who can make funny or clever advertisements. They're not that difficult to find. What I don't do is write out a competition on a third party website where every random Joe can enter a camcorder-made submission, and hope for the best that one of the contributions is exactly what I was looking for.

Zybourne Clock posted:Does anyone remember that KickStarter campaign to send two rappers to North Korea so they can shoot a clip there? It got funded. This one smelled funny, so I checked kicktraq and lo and behold, they made $5300 in one day with eleven backers. That's a kickjack right there. And when they inevitably fail to get into NK, they'll just put the money towards a normal video. Hell, they're even covering their asses on the update saying "Yeah, we made the MINIMUM, but we still need to hire a crew. Did we not mention that when we started the project?" quote:There's this ad under the forums for some card game called 'Alteil Horizons'. The project itself doesn't appear to be awful, but the mystery artist they decided to hire most definitely is. How can anyone look at Tim Buckley's work/reputation and think 'yes, this is the guy we need to reinforce our team of artists/promote our KickStarter'?

Man if I was going to dream up a get-rich-quick scheme where the business model was 'everybody gives me free everything, just because', I'd probably also imagine something less pathetic than a sleazy third-tier advertising firm. Like, maybe supermodels pay to blow me, or everyone finally realizes I'm the smartest guy in the universe and lets me run their bank accounts, and I don't have to paste my logo over other peoples' crappy Youtube videos for a living as some kind of human remora. This is the saddest fantasy life. Tubgirl Cosplay has a new favorite as of 18:45 on Sep 22, 2013 |

People have an idea and think advertising and design are "easy" because you're obviously not doing real work, right? So they don't hire professionals and come up with crap by themselves or get their nephew who "knows photoshop" to do it. As long as they can sell their crap to other people who only expect crap at crap prices, they keep going.

The pitch for bRight Switch starts with a daring what-if situation.IndieGoGo posted:What if the walls in our homes were graced with gently glowing, color matched smart devices rather than switches that have been around for 50 years? Yes, these people intend to replace the humble light switch with something far more cumbersome and needlessly complex. Why would I want to map multiple outlets to the same switch? Why would I want my house to learn when to activate or shut off the lights in different rooms of the house? My phone comes with its own charger, what's the benefit of a dedicated built-in phone charger? Some things don't need to become smart devices. Light switches and power outlets are a few good examples. PeardUp.com is essentially a digital school environment (think BlackBoard) that's open for registration to the general public, but dressed up in tons of meaningless buzzwords. And puns. Lots and lots of terrible pear-related puns. Various people on their team seem to think that this idea is unique, but I swear I've seen at least two crowdfunding campaigns for the same thing on IGG alone. I can't help but wonder what these people have in place to weed out 'mentors' who plan to give nothing but horrible advice, simply because they can.

I don't really agree with you wholesale (I really like the Nest thermostat, but that's arguably because every digital thermostat I've ever used has been a colossal bitch to set and program, and outlets/surge protectors with built-in USB plugs for phone/tablet/whatever charging are the bee's knees) but this just looks like a me-tooism that also happens to make things horribly complicated for the sake of "simplicity." Never mind that practically every home tech company under the sun has come out with or demoed at least some version of this basic idea over the last 3 years- except that they've all been smart enough to base it around some kind of smartphone/tablet control software (where it arguably makes some sense) instead of a much more cumbersome and much much more expensive hardware setup. It's basically the difference between putting an aux port in your car's radio and developing your own proprietary system for playing mp3s.

I love how every one of these *Super Awesome* *House of the Future* *Put a touchscreen on everything like the loving Enterprise* projects from Kickstarters and actual companies alike seems to neglect the fact that this already basically exists and hundreds of millions of households have one and it's called a loving tablet. The difference being that you carry it around with you instead of bolting it to your loving wall.

That's some fancy poo poo right there. But nah let's just bolt this poo poo to a wall instead of having it accessible on your phone or something. Because let's be honest, if you forget to turn your lights off before you head to bed, it'd be really drat cool to just shut it off from your phone. Maybe this actually exists in the campaign but Indiegogo seems to be out for the count, so I can't laugh directly at them. But judging by the URL... "the new way to power your life..." Nah, this stuff already exists.

Well, since you can open it and I still can't, what's the asking price? I think the existing tech is around $150 for like 3 bulbs and a receiver that supports several dozen bulbs. But like I said those are also color-controlled. I'm gonna guess $20.

Ayn Rand believed being selfish is a virtue and that altruism is bad. Of course her adherents beg for money on the internet instead of bootstrapping their way to riches so they can fund this movie themselves. Craig needs your help to make this HTML5 belt buckle a reality. I can imagine someone buying and wearing a piece of pop-culture related merchandise because said person is a fan. But a belt buckle for a markup language? Is HTML5 really that popular of a tool?

UTB: A Documentary went live just minutes ago. What is UTB? A game not unlike soccer, except with a bigger ball and you can use your hands. Oh, and and every player also brings his own stun gun to the field which he can use to stun whichever person is currently holding the ball. There's also a special zone near the goals where that rule doesn't apply and every player can stun anyone else. That sounds perfectly safe and not completely insane at all.Risks and Challenges posted:The professional production of a documentary and tournament will take a stadium, new equipment, crew, and full production team. We'll be working to incorporate interactive POV cameras, making both overhead and on-field views available throughout the event. You can even witness the 'sport' from a first-person perspective!

It doesn't seem to come with bulbs of any kind, it just connects to your regular lighting, and the fancy touch screen one is 75 dollars through the campaign, presumably more when it has finished.
