You want to know what it takes to fund a kickstarter? It takes copper balls to fund a kickstarter. Go and do likewise gents. Money's out there. You pick it up, it's yours. You don't, I got no sympathy for you.

Justin Lin is either a concerned fan and/or a three-dimensional chess master, because he pretty much guaranteed that the Trekkies who were upset about this are now going to see his movie because of this.

Lin is a Trekkie. And the biggest nerd because he and Vin Diesel turned F&F into adaptations of D&D.

It doesn't look like they're just dropping it. The way that article is worded sounds like they're going to create a structured thing for what is allowed by fan films and what will still get you sued. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the big things is basically telling fan filmmakers not to do what these guys did (like trying to sell their own Star Trek branded merchandise.)

A nice perfectly spherical copper ball would be quite a tactile thing to have around on your desk You know you can just buy a ball at a store for a few dollars. It will be close enough to perfectly spherical that your human senses won't be able to tell the difference.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/929434055/accolade-shadow-box/ Nick may have misplaced a few 0s on his project's goal here. Or perhaps he's just a super ambitious guy. Anyway, he wants to make this crappy picture frame with shelving attached and needs your money to do it. Help a guy out to the tune of $10m to achieve this modest dream won't you?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/288831438/pc-gamers-recliner-stage-1 Check out this lazy motherfucker. Seemingly unaware that reclining chairs already exist, he's begging the internet for $200 to create a design for one based on a biro sketch (gonna use that kickstarter windfall to purchase a ruler for some straight lines). Though I guess cramming a PC inside it is new, even if it is dumb af. Not sure about the practicality of the power cord coming out the front, bit of a trip hazard. 1 pledge reward, which is a personalised thank you video. if the concept is any indication this will be a crayon scribble on a napkin with "thank you" spelt incorrectly. Challenges: "I want to give this Project the attention it deserves but as a father, my children will always come first."

It's so you can simulate a virtual family and home during twitch broadcasts so the world doesn't find out you're playing videogames in a basement atop a nightmare robo-chair.

Universal translator is obviously thinking too low for getting people's money. What they should do instead is sell the earpiece and then make you subscribe to the languages you want to be able to use

I love that instead of going for the obvious route of "Just get a laptop" which would have comfortably solved all those issues his solution is to build a giant bulky chair that'll take up half the loungeroom and features a screen with minimal positioning options and is smaller than a laptop screen. Just get a laptop.
