Kojima is not the guy to run a kickstarter, his ideas are way too grand and ambitious to ever run off of a crowdfunding budget. Hopefully one of the big japanese development studios who still make things will give him a shot, but when you think MGS5 has cost $80M to date and the largest videogame kickstarter has made $6M I really can't see him him having a good time working under those conditions

They are usually done to prove to a publisher that there's an audience and reduce the amount of money they're going to have to ask for. Kojima would get some criticism if he made a kickstarter because many of his games end up a highly reduced versions of his plan. That said, he could definitely get the funding he'd request.

So Molyneux and Chris Roberts, those two got funded besides that being the case so Kickstarter would be just the place for him to go, people eat that poo poo up.

This is very common in the games industry. poo poo planned for ingame gets dropped all the time, though most companies are smart enough to not mention any of it until they know its for sure going to be in. Personally I could see Kojima starting a Kickstarter, but with his reputation I don't think it would be necessary.

I've had mine for 5 years with no tears in the seams or rips in the leather. I'd definitely hit up the service department, since all their goods have a 100 year warranty. I have one of their briefcases too, and besides looking worn and knocked up the way leather does, it's still as sturdy as ever. They call it heirloom quality, and I believe it.

Sorry if this has been posted already. Otherkin who claim to be vampires want to make a 'blood substitute' for other fake vampires. They want 666 USD!Gofundme page posted:As a Vampire in need of blood, I know how hard it is to obtain the real thing without a donor to extract from. That's why I have a solution: BloodLust! The Real tasting, authentic feeling blood substitute for the Vampire Hoard! Two kinds will be available: Non-caffeinated. (Type O) and Caffeinated (Type O+). If you or a fellow vampire/vampkin feels the need to feed on a realistic tasting blood, then look no further! How? Do they have some industrial kitchen to cook up this concoction? Will is be safe to ship? What is in it? Can they assure people it won't arrive molding and spoiled? Who knows, who cares? Let's not post any info on the gofundme page. quote:Anonymous asked: What stage of production is bloodlust in? Is there any information you can release in advance on the ingredients or anything at all? Oh no wait, they do have a really obscure product list, you just havve to force it out of them. quote:anonymous asked: Are you going to release a list of ingredients for those with food allergies? quote:anonymous asked: Hi there. I am super interested in this product, is it guaranteed it will be made and sold though? I know I'd gladly do a $50 pledge, but I want to know this isn't a scam/flop ect. Not meant to be insulting, simply an investment concern. Thank you. "Hi I am totally not someone running this blog page asking about obvious concerns to allay and sway people into giving money away." I hope to gently caress they don't murder someone via foodpoisoning. By the way, here's some rewards list on the tumblr, but not on the gofundme page for some reason.

There's nothing about this I don't love. I want to follow the ensuing drama.  Ironically, someone with some actual knowhow and business skills could probably milk the otherkin-vampire crowd with something like this. As it stands, the outright amateur nature of this kickstarter is sure to entertain. Sadly, it looks like no one is dumb enough to take the bait...yet. EDIT: This could be a fun plot to a modern vampire story: 1. Idiot on tumblr claims they can make blood for lame-otherkin. 2. Kickstarter fails, they steal the funds. 3. "Real" goul/vampires/monsters kill the person that created the kickstarter in an entertaining Blair-witch style climax. Snuffman has a new favorite as of 07:08 on Aug 14, 2015 |

Jedit posted:I'd almost wager money that they've found a stock of this going cheap because it's expiring, and they plan to rebottle it. They provide at least a partial list of ingredients: Iron Whey Protein Food dye Corn syrup Salt So it sounds like they're actually trying to create something with similar thickness and taste to human blood. The question remains as to whether or not they're going to surpass average "Bottling from a pot on my stove" quality.

KiddieGrinder posted:What does your heart tell you? My heart is thinking they're going to buy some caro corn syrup and food dye, use the same bottle the corn syrup came in to mix up the dye, and pour it into tiny, unsanitary vials sealed with cork from a crafts store to ship out. How they'll ship liquid, I have no idea. I'm pretty sure you can't use USPS. It sounds interesting but I'm pretty sure hot topic and spencers covered the 'red corn syrup' market pretty well.

You can ship liquid by USPS just fine so long as it ain't alcoholic or explosive, but it's on you if your liquid stuff spills.

muscles like this? posted:Isn't it illegal to sell foodstuff without a full ingredient list? The list was taken from their FAQ as part of the "Do not buy this if you're allergic to these things" question. Ingredient lists and other restrictions depend on cottage food laws in your particular state. For instance, my home state of Florida allows for homemade foods (less than $15,000 in total sales per year) to be sold directly to customers via roadside stands, farmers' markets, events, and out of their house. This doesn't allow them to sell via the internet, retail stores, restaurants, or by mail order. There's also restrictions on what types of foods can be sold, like no baked goods with alcohol, condiments (except honey and vinegar), or fermented foods. If the product falls under a cottage food law of whatever state it's being made in, it can be legally sold without a permit/license or many of the health and ingredient inspection requirements needed for commercial food. Otherwise it would be illegal and the seller will get a knock on their door from the health department telling them "Cut that poo poo out."
