The guy is like literally whoring himself out for money. I wouldn't be surprised if the "unspoken tier" is $1000 for performing certain acts utilizing Mango Chutney's natural slimyness.

Do you love zombies, ham and cheese sandwiches, video games, or any combination of these three things? Then you might like Safe House, a zombie apocalypse themed cyber cafe/deli combination. They're going to have next-gen video games consoles in addition to a variety of meats and cheeses and Coca-Cola, and also hope to sell every flavor of Monster energy drink. Their stretch goal is to prepare and sell their own hamburgers, and should they reach it they're going to randomly give away games consoles as prizes. With your generous donation these folks can create two full and six part-time jobs. I'm certain the neighborhood will appreciate the zombie theme, and will not consider the business a dilapidated eyesore and bad for other businesses surrounding it.

How is a cyber cafe/gaming lounge even a viable idea in America any more? I feel like their target market of "zombie enthusiast PS4 players who are hyped on caffeine" is also the same market who would already be surrounding themselves with zombie media, video games and the internet at home already.

It gets more pitiful and forced each year. Also a post-apocalyptic theme deli is the dumbest idea ever. Yes, when I am eating cold-cuts I want to be in a dingy room, with sweaty nerds, and thinking about rotting human flesh. Great business model guys.

Nothing says "wow, now I am hungry for a delicious hamburger and Monster beverage to wash it down" than a shirt that you can kind of make out has something vaguely to do with zombies. I also like how they've partitioned off approximately 1/3rd of California as a potential business location.

I'm pretty sure that dubious honor goes to this tentacle rape-themed soda. quote:Tentacle Grape is a delicious purple beverage that slides down your throat and quenches your thirst in a way that would make schoolgirls squeal. My favorite bit is the recommendations sections: Cracked.com posted:“The Official Soda of the Internet.” Which sounds less like an endorsement and more like a statement of disbelief that this a real product that actually exists.

It's functionally the same thing as all the people who bought Brawndo or those graphic tees where Walter White is an AT-AT walker or The Dude is dressed like Tron; nerds go "ha I get the reference" and pay a premium so they can show off their reference-getting prowess. Only in this case the reference is cartoon porn from Japan.

A chain letter is more of a response than I've gotten from them when reporting issues trying to pledge and the like, so that's why I'm thinking they're actually doing something. Maybe they've just gotten slightly less poo poo customer service since then though instead.

But is it organic, locally sourced wood? I troll, therefore I am. There's only one thing sadder than two grown adults arguing over which character is better at rocking a spandex suit, and that's ending the debate by making a KickStarter for a T-Shirt that displays your opinion for all to see. According to these guys, their audience for a live-action role playing game consists mostly of fantasy and sci-fi fans. So they've at least done some research into their product, but not enough to realize that LARP has already been a thing for quite some time now and that their product isn't anything new.
