"Please give me money, but you don't have to!" chucklefuck posted:Most people start webcomics as just a way to kill time but that's not the case here. I've always been a big fan of things like anime/manga/movies. I've often thought to myself that I could make something as awesome as some of these stories I have enjoyed if I just had the chance. The founding members of Gainax, one of my favorite anime studios made their first anime Daicon III/IV when they were only int heir late teens. This used to make me a little depressed because I'm older then they were but never got any of my ideas out there. That's all changed now however , as of right now almost four chapters have made it onto the web and new pages are still being made. For some reason, he's felt the need to make his own TVTropes page for the webcomic. You can tell because he linked it and it's written like someone involved in the "production" made it.

They had to register a company in the US, UK, Canada or Australia in order to make a kickstarter, by having a company account in a country Kickstarter pays to. And there was likely already a Centurion, LLC or too so the business registrar had them add something to the company name.

Let's look at some of the the brilliant design and technology projects that need your support. First up, here's "a rare opportunity to own a copy of the highly sought after game Ghettopoly." A game so sought after it hasn't achieved funding in four attempts. So what will the toddlers do while the big kids are playing Ghettopoly? Maybe they'd like to do a puzzle. Puzzles are great. They help with coordination, and teach the difference between a pistol and a revolver. An absolute steal at $95. What do you get for the basement dwelling shut-in that has everything? A Wireless Digital Katana Lastly, here's some sort of generator/pump thing that isn't really well explained. I'm no engineer, but I get the feeling that his idea won't pan out in any capacity (though I don't think it's a scam, just misguided). Still, watch it for the terrible "video in a video" moment. Direct Transmission Pumps and Generators

Wait, all I can get is his portrait on a photo card for  ? He expects 60 people to want that? If he was smart he'd offer to redo it as anything people want for like 150 dollars or however much and send the whole canvas to them. I'd pay that much to hang his weird, grimacing face dressed as a clown on my wall. It'd be a great conversation starter.

From the department of "Reinventing the Wheel": Disrupting the paradigms, one clothespin at a time. I'm pretty sure I´ve seen this one at Home Depot. Have another loving multitool. The micropenis of the crowbar world. "The Tipsy Wine Glass is a paradigm of how really a wine should be tasted or tested for that matter." From the department of "Solving inexistent problems": Or maybe you could do what your parents always told you and put your drink far from the computer. A lovely plastic case so you can listen to your smartphone subpar speakers while you shower. loving magnets in my loving shoes. From the department of "Thanks for giving me ideas for my next rainy day project": It's a safety belt clip that you use as a keychain and mount to a wall. What is it with all this people and their obsession with mounting all their possessions to a wall, anyway? Google "homemade lightbox". I'll wait.

It's like a five-year-old sat through a junior high health class and three weeks later they told him to draw the female reproductive system from memory. I'd probably buy those pants magnets, though. I've shredded the poo poo out of so many pairs of jeans. Not for 13 loving bucks, granted, but I'd grab them for $2.99 if they were an impulse buy at the cash register.

Christ, I never realized wine was so volatile. Is that why you need to carefully study the wine before you drink it? To make sure your drink isn't on fire? If your wine has a bright orange color and a smoky bouquet you probably should pour yourself a new glass.

I just invented a wine glass where the entire thing is tilted at a 45-degree angle instead of just the bowl, allowing literally all of the benefits that the tipsy glass offers with the added ability to set the glass down in a move vertical position to minimize the risk of spills. How high should I set my funding goal?

To be fair, those added hooks seem pretty useful for stuff that's often too heavy for clothespins to grip (like wet jeans) and for hanging more items in less space. Still, it's one of those "I'd buy a set for $3 if I saw it at Target but I wouldn't Kickstart it" cases. And this one doesn't seem weird or wrong to me because I like to show off my LPs in a similar fashion- but it's a stupid product because I did it in a way that's cheaper, easier, and looks way better, with some $8 Ikea picture ledges.

Let's build a Godzlilla framework statue and cover it in Kudzu! What could possibly go wrong?! This seems like a REALLY bad idea. I don't know why over $10000 dollars worth of people are willing to fund a sculpture covered in a horrifying invasive plant, but apparently they are. I'm guessing (praying) most of them don't actually live in the South and don't realize how horrible the plant is. Considering how fast kudzu spreads, I can't help but think this thing would be a blight on its surroundings. At least we can all take solace in the fact that they probably won't get the money, let alone get approval to set this thing up. Oh, with just twenty thousand dollars in stretch goals, they'll make the statue covered in plants breathe fire. Sounds safe.

If I'm reading the kickstarter correctly, they plan to find a place that already has kudzu in it and build the statue there.

This would only be good if you were either decorating a record store or never actually wanted to listen to your records. Anyone with a sizeable vinyl collection already has an Expedit bookshelf from IKEA which looks fine, is perfectly sized to hold records in their sleeves, and matches most modern home decor more than this whimsical Pinterest-baiting poo poo.

Ahahahahaha do you even know what you're talking about? I'm just gonna post a photo of my "sizable vinyl collection" with the picture ledges I mentioned earlier, and then you can tell me how your argument makes any goddamn sense. You see those things above the Expedit? Those are picture ledges. I like to put a few LPs on them in order to show off the album artwork, which is something that I cannot do with the Expedit.  It must be loving impossible to listen to the records on them- I mean they must be like six feet off the ground! What's funny is that you and I didn't disagree on that being a terrible, unnecessary, poorly designed Kickstarter project. You're just too caught up being snarky for GBS cred or whatever to not be a stupid rear end in a top hat.
