Actually you don't have just the game for me, because I already have that game, so there. :colbert:

But yeah, Receiver is exactly what I was thinking of. It's kind of a poo poo game, but that reload mechanic is unique and frustrating.

Not really. QWOP is intentionally extremely difficult and unintuitive. But when I got Receiver, I was able to literally reload as fast as I could with a real gun after an hour or two of play. The controls are laid out in a fairly sensible manner and hitting "?" will highlight every button you need to press to get the gun ready to fire, so you can learn quickly.

Its more of a tech demo / proof of concept than a game, is the thing.

According to Kicktraq they got two pledges for $1 each (on the same day) which were then cancelled two days later, then they got another two pledges for $1 which were again taken back.

This is wonderful. Idolizing the "self-made man" while begging for internet donations to let you actually start a business.

I don't even know what their business is. I think he just has some vague idea of wanting to make a multimedia franchise/branding that just....pops into existence.

DYLN — The Bottle That Creates Alkaline Water On the Go

AKA Back this if you never took high school chemistry. Of course it comes from California. Did you know oranges are alkaline? Yeah, I know this alkaline/acidic diet poo poo has been around for a while.

I just checked back on this project to see if Kickstarter has cancelled it because of its dodgy health promises but not only is the project still active, it just doubled its $30,000 target. :(

I reported it for being snake oil. There have been some studies and alkaline water has been found to range from potentially useful for people with acid reflux to retarding growth in rats. Either way, not even close to something you can reasonably say "promotes and maintains optimal health in the body."

I think the health claims are vague enough for KS to ignore. Last thing of this nature that I remember them cancelling was that stupid gaming blood donation thing, and that was probably only because it qualified as a medical device and might have got them into legal trouble had the FDA come knocking.
