That would be nice for picnics or by the lake actually. Too bad it's on Indiegogo with flexible funding.

I would have thought he would have folded this minor project into that, and perhaps get more publicity for the book that way. Doug is a cartoon old man who doesn't understand the modern world, and if he didn't spend most of his time at a microphone or twitter or email being the most terrible social conservative he can be it'd be adorable.

The lady behind the Rudolf atrocity is actually that crazy lady who comes in and gives the lectures everyone hates in elementary schools. (She wears a banana hat because its wacky you see)Ana O. Cooper posted:Ana “Banana” Cooper is a Let’s Move!-inspired independent contractor, School Champion and Facilitator for LetsMove.gov. The Let’s Move! initiative is America’s Move to Raise a Healthier Generation of Kids. Since you can’t take kids from cola to carrot juice in one leap, that’s where Ana Banana comes in. She’s the “Teacher in the Tutti-Frutti Hat” with a fun, lighthearted musical approach. Her upbeat songs with positive messages about a healthy lifestyle help to dissolve any objections students may have about trying something new. She is the kind of woman kids take one look at and groan. They know that they are in for an hour of 'funny' 'motivational' parody songs. I can't actually believe this woman's job is writing music, even if its for kids. That song makes absolutely no sense, and I have to wonder why you would put a politically divisive message into a children's rhyme anyway. Its not like the message of the original had lost any of its meaning.

If you give them $1000 they will take you to the place they saw the blur! For $2000 you can hang out with them. They hope to make a documentary about local bigfoot sightings. They will even host a town hall meeting about them bigfeets.

A couple of people I know have used Indiegogo flexible funding to do community fund drives after major sports injuries. I've never witnessed an actual project come out of it, though.

Really, IndieGoGo? Really? You have no problem whatsoever with this 'make money quick' scheme on your website? I suppose the princely sum of $5.05 in earnings is enough to offset IGG's perceived status as a shittier, scammier version of KickStarter. Look at this amazing new battery pack I invented! It can charge your phone/tablet/laptop more times than any other competing product on the market. So what do they need the five million dollars for? Well actually, the battery packs have yet to be developed. They're going to use that money for R&D purposes. Yes, it's a flexible funding campaign.

Morglon posted:Well has Square done anything worthwhile in the last say, 5 years? I might be generous here. They bought Eidos and published the Tomb Raider reboot, Sleeping Dogs, and Deus Ex Human Revolution. Which brings us to another thing about that Square Enix crowdfunding scheme. All the franchise they are allowing people to use are Eidos properties. Nothing the Japanese portion of Square. I read somewhere that they are also not allowing you to use IPs with a more recent entry like Tomb Raider or Deus Ex.

I don't know why that's the thing that infuriates me the most, probably just because my brain is trying to protect me from getting angry about everything else by getting angry at this thing.

She has no idea how or why things go viral but she's aware that it's a thing and she honestly feels that her dumb idea is simply the peachiest keenest thing ever so how can people not go crazy over it? She reminds me of the projects we keep finding where people designed a boardgame 15 years ago and have dedicated their lives to trying to get it published and into shops and ended up bankrupted and confused. "B-b-but I had it all planned out! I just don't understand why no one wants to play my game, it's the best game in the whole world!"
