Pick posted:Why the gently caress would I do that? In that case I might as well play on my much larger tv screen using a console. $10 console $1 PC that's a tough decision there chief. I like how using a controller on PC is crazy witchery to some people, or better yet those who think it's "unkosher" to ever attempt it

do you wipe your cut/uncut dick back-to-front or front-to-back, or does that depend on whether the toilet paper is hung over or under while women in video games?

Let's have some more stupid poo poo: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/862339253/fahrenheit-2451-preserve-your-data-for-eternity/description Sweet, I'd love to have something I can't edit, can't read without expensive and bulky hardware, or is even convenient at all. I guess it'd be OK for a time capsule. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/837229404/hidnseekthe-revolutionary-gps-tracking-device/description These guys day that their GPS key dongle thing doesn't have the drawbacks of other GPS things that are limited by whatever wireless system they use. They also super-duper promise that the wireless system they use will go global. OK. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/517227712/homtime-c1pro-your-all-in-one-bedside-gadget/description Hey look, all the things your phone already does in a bulkier package. Now you can carry more poo poo. I guess you can pretend to be a time DJ with the rotating button though.

The C1 seems to have a bunch of useless features, but a USB charger, clock, speaker all in one isn't a terrible idea.

SupSuper posted:It's just a smarter alarm clock, not sure where you got the idea you're supposed to carry it around like a phone. I don't know, I guess it just seems like a travel clock to me? Maybe it's just personal preference that a phone should have those functions and be loud enough you don't need an external speaker. I'm probably missing the point of it since I expect whatever phone I buy to replace multiple other devices. Obviously a charger isn't one of those, but you get my point.

According to his biography, this guy invented flavored cat water after a night of drinking. He probably was also drunk as gently caress when he wrote the kickstarter because he mentions several times how much he'd like to be rich and make 100k a year. These people want to have their own food truck. Except instead of food they'll sell gourmet dog treats. Send us five pounds and we'll mail you an envelope with the ingredients to make a cheese sandwich. The video features the world's worst fake Bostonian accent. Or at least, that's what I think he was going for.

Also he's talking about dog-flavored water and I really wonder what he means by this. e: Zybourne Clock posted:Send us five pounds and we'll mail you an envelope with the ingredients to make a cheese sandwich.

Ugh, had I known about this I wouldn't have tried them once. They're at least as far East as central Ohio. Mediocre sandwich, terrible 'tortilla' soup that was really weirdly oily.

Parrotine posted:Isn't literally every Double Fine game a massive failure in sales? Even Brutal Legend, which looked like it was gonna be their strongest title. This also applies to Star Citizen and that intergalactic train wreck (in space). Groovelord Neato posted:It does kind of rule how kickstarter has proven more than once that publishers are sometimes good since they rein in projects going off the rails. They also confirm that lots of good small scale games are completely ignored because they won't move millions of copies (or cost hundreds of jobs when they flop but lol a publisher ever giving two fucks about some studio's employees). Brian Fargo made it pretty clear that nobody would give him the time of day for making Wasteland 2 how they wanted to do it and without Kickstarter that game wasn't going to happen unless they got an angel investor. Thankfully Kickstarter exists and I've gotten Wasteland 2, Shadowrun Returns, and eventually Bard'sTale IV to play that I never would otherwise. DoctorTristan posted:My favourite video game kickstarter was Peter Molyneux promising a bunch of poo poo then not delivering and people being surprised at this for some reason. Molyneux is the worst case of a successful Ideas Guy. Considering the poo poo he's done post-Bullfrog I really have to wonder how much credit he should have for games like Syndicate or if they were good despite him. God knows Powermonger was a goddamn clusterfuck of a game. I still don't get the insanity over Fable. People treated it as this amazing earth-shatteringly good RPG which was true if you never played any RPGs on the PC up to that point I guess.
