After 100 deaths, your character's deleted! No fast travel! No way of telling how strong something is! No global chat so you can't coordinate or meet up with people in other regions of the world! No nameplates hovering over anything so you can name everything yourself! Nothing has a static spawn point/area! Magic is rare as poo poo, but once you get it, it's easymode! And it'll be a monthly subscription! But there's no hookerbots, total dealbreaker. Content from local Kickstarters, dude in my neck of Florida wants to start a Youtube channel that will be the "Sports Center of eSports" but also "kind of like what Attack of the Show was for G4." $7,500 to build a soundstage, a desk, monitors that'll sit behind him, and other equipment for a pilot episode. Pledge $1,000 (and pay for your own airfare and hotel) and you'll get to co-host his birthday episode and hang out with him "and get shitfaced at a bar, assuming you're of age." http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1831155433/this-week-in-gaming-web-series-pilot

So I checked out My Porn Love Affair Armageddon's website (linked to on the Kickstarter)...and this is the staff photo of their producer: I would provide you with a description of said producer, but unfortunately the text is still Lorem Ipsum. I think the photo says enough on its own though.

Tatum Girlparts posted:It's not be smug, it's to fuel my persecution complex You try growing up in Alabama as someone who very early on reverted to Atheism, get arrest in your teens and be sent to a state sanctioned brainwashing group home where you're forced to attend a holy roller speaking in tongues fire and brimstone church/bible study and all kinds of other poo poo and have you regaining your freedom be hinged to your willingness to play their "Yes I finally feel the power of jesus" game and then tell me I have a persecution complex rather than a realistic outlook on how a lot of people are forced to live. Also I wouldn't push my beliefs in the face of any and all theists. Some are fine. I'm specifically talking about the ones who aren't which is a vast portion of the theistic population. If you're different then good for you but you aren't representative of the whole. If you don't think atheists are being persecuted you are loving dumb. This isn't the thread to go all effort post in about the topic but it takes some intentional ignoring of reality to need it explained to you anyway. edit: Also the idea that militant atheist are worse than militant theist is absolutely ridiculous. We don't get to implement ridiculous invasive controlling policy and are absolutely excluded from holding public office and in many parts of the country from even being hired if the person doing the hiring knew of our beliefs. You're a piece of poo poo individual if you laugh like this is a joke. We have a black president but still have no chance of having an atheist one. edit:VV The "persecution" began way before that and carried on after it. Anyone who honestly thinks atheists (or even other religions than christian) are not persecuted is patently ignorant by their own choice to ignore reality. It's really just become a thing for dumb internet nerds to high five each other about. Yea gently caress those atheists!* high five* Morons. quote:Nobody cares about you or your goddamn encyclopedia's worth of problems, go to whiny MRA atheist hell. quote:If you're familiar with the poo poo that didn't happen.txt thread in PYF, there's a infamous reddit post about a poster claiming they went to an atheist brainwashing camp that sounds really similar to that story....

I grew up in Alabama, became a Taoist in my teens, and never once encountered any negative effects from my choice. Of course, I also didn't do something dumb enough to get arrested for, so that might have played a role in why I had such an easy time.Fatkraken posted:I thought it looked sorta funky in a pointless, over designed way, but then I saw how HUGE it is. I'd assumed you like, cut down the keys or something (which would obviously be an issue all of it's own) to make it smaller, but nope, just shove 'em in and end up with a coaster sized hunk of metal hanging off your jeans. Also, $35 retail seems pretty freaking steep for two bits of aluminium and a bunch of screws I can't count how many Kickstarter gadgets I've had an initial "oh that's kind of interesting" reaction to only to snap out of it moments later when I realized how bulky/awkward/useless they actually are. kazmeyer has a new favorite as of 22:06 on Oct 24, 2013 |

That said, it looks like a shittier Everquest 2, and Everquest 3 is almost out. So awesome. At best it'd just be runescape, but with all their pie-in-the-sky ideas it'll never happen.

Holy poo poo that pile of crap is using the hero engine? I looked all over the page, but didn't see it mentioned which engine they were using. How the hell did they afford the licence? Last I checked it was a cool million.  That explains everything though, hero engine has the best toolkit around. A kindergarten class could probably make the same assets they have using those tools.

Zybourne Clock posted:I honestly don't know what to think of this campaign to find and capture Joseph Kony. The idea of the Internet exacting crowd-funded justice on a child soldier-employing war criminal is just too bizarre to comprehend. For the meager sum of $25,000, he'll let you join in on his expedition. Oh, hey, it's RYP! His travel guides are a great read, though do stray into poo poo that didn't happen territory every now and again. If you like the Vice travel guides you'll love his stuff. I have no judgment on the Indiegogo project, but it is at least a guy who's got serious experience in running a business and traveling to questionable areas. It's not some goofy 20 year old who got a wild hair up his rear end after seeing the Kony2012 video.

If you're familiar with the poo poo that didn't happen.txt thread in PYF, there's a infamous reddit post about a poster claiming they went to an atheist brainwashing camp that sounds really similar to that story.... Anyway, back to Kickstarter! I decided to take a look at my local projects and it's pretty dull to be honest. It seems to be 80% people who got funded to finish their album, a few people who want to print t-shirts, and a few short films from people who actually seem to understand how to make short films. I did see one for an indie that looked like it could be awful, but it seems like the people involved understand how to make a game and know what they need to do. Birmingham, why are your Kickstarter projects so boring.

Epic Hamcat posted:I just backed it with $10. Let's make My Porn Love Affair Armageddon happen! The last time SA funded a porn flick, swap.avi was born. I'm not sure funding another one is an ethical thing to do. Besides, none of his reward tiers involve the purchase of a thirty foot tall commemorative bronze plaque. Ordinary squeeze bottles always retain a certain percentage of the product they contain and are never really empty. You paid for its contents, but end up throwing it away with the bottle. What a waste! Luckily there is a 30 dollar gadget you can buy to extract those last three cents worth of ketchup from that stubborn bottle. And now for some people who are wearing stuff on their wrists. I'm not sure exactly how strapping your wallet or iPhone 5 makes them more useful or secure, but considering they're wallets and iPhone peripherals, I'm sure they're going to get funded either way.

Beginning at just $99 a year, HeroCloud includes access to the all of HeroEngine, the leading platform for online game development. It's 30% royalties at that rate or if you pay $75,000 with a 7% revenue share. I assume they'd use part of the money to pay the 75k or they'd be up for 30% of the tiers with subscriptions. Judging that they got a full, functional engine for $99 they have a poor amount of content to show. A couple of models and some animations, a week or two's work by one person and a load of 2D art for the kickstarter page. A quick google doesn't give either of the companies named or the guy in the video any previous game making experience. Carecat has a new favorite as of 15:13 on Oct 25, 2013 |

Isn't there a bunch of videos on youtube showing that you can separate them instantly with an empty bottle? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AirVOuTN_M This is basically just monetizing that like many companies tend to do with their cheap plastic appliances. Now the everyday man can monetize those things himself with the power of kickstarter!!!
