Clearly I should start a kickstarter for "safety brooms" - a limp styrofoam stick you pin between your legs.

The only worthwhile Harry Potter broom merchandize was a kids' vibrating magical broom. The real shocker was when little girls seemed to REALLY enjoy 'riding' them for extended periods.

I'd love to see an infomercial made for this - a clumsy simpleton completely stymied by a key ring - cut to an attractive lady picking a Key Disc out of her purse and laughing at how easy and fun opening locks has become!

If they produce that infomercial then I'm willing to back this puppy. The world needs more DRTV!

Hey everyone, whats your first thought when you see a kickstarter with the words sandbox, MMO, and "less is more" philosophy?

Well don't bust your brains too hard, because this is literally what you were thinking:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/forgedchaos/trials-of-ascension-a-truly-innovative-mmorpg

Someone has already pledged $5000 for a game that doesn't exist. Why would you? Are the developers well-known MMORPG designers, or why would anyone invest such amount of money for a game that may be poo poo?

In other dumb culinary Kickstarter news, local to me is this gimmicky nonsense. Environmentally friendly, you say? I would have thought not adding frivolous electronic components into a mug would be pretty environmentally sound, but hey, I'm not a design student, so...

What is it about bad Kickstarters that think including an "endorsement" that is obviously not an endorsement is a good idea?

Thing is, if your game is called Stalin vs. Martians IV then the fact that it's a sequel to SvsM is the biggest anti-endorsement that you can get. If they want to fund that thing through crowdsourcing then they can't really avoid adressing the issue that the entire franchise is a worthless dog turd "but this time it'll be different, we promise!"

Just google 'camera stick' and you'll find a plethora in the market. What's different with this one is that it's got a button on the handle that instructs the camera via bluetooth, whereas the traditional ones rely on a timer function on the camera.

Although you can download an application to turn any bluetooth device like your handsfree set into a remote shutter, so again, why bother.

even if it turns out to be medically safe, blood donation needles are huge and it hurts to move your arm around when they're in


no one who wouldn't donate blood normally would want to slowly lose blood over an hour while the needle keeps jiggling around in their veins, however i do support this kickstarter because im in favour of anything that inflicts pain on gamers

I'm a semi-regular blood donor and I suppose that some kind of game paraphernalia could work. To make the blood flow through your arm at a good pace it helps if you keep on flexing your fist. A single handed game controller like the Wii Remote would do that nicely but you'd have to design the game well to make it interesting but not so exciting that you hurt yourself and lasting just long enough and what's the loving point???

Cizor knives are crafted from one of the hardest man made materials in existence, tungsten carbide. You may recognize the compact and time tested form factor of the popular Tidashi knife. Carry it with you anywhere, held securely in its silicone cap. The back of the Cizor is a functional safety tool, which can break a car window in case of an emergency. I am also introducing a much larger pen size version and anodized aluminum stands for both sizes.

Adult coloring books have always been a thing, but in the past few years they've become a lot more popular.

I suppose standard adult colouring books are about colourful or, ehh, "beautiful" things (or calming patterns like mandalas), not classic computers. Also in my perception the main audience is womenfolk, while this one's demographic differs somewhat. But the makers probably are very aware about these points!

Years ago there was a public domain Cthulhu mythology colouring book online that you could print for kids so they could colour Yog Sothoth pretty (and drive them mad). But now I see there's lots of similar offerings, for kids and adults alike, some free, some less free. I'm not sure if there's really that many people looking for new H.P. Lovecraft colouring books really, but more power to those who actually do like to colour those things :)

This is all so :psyduck: why 26??? Is your pen hand too weak to sign more than 26 copies? Or do you expect that that is the sweet spot where people are willing to hand out their $1k but no more or the signed copies start losing value?

Floating City will be one of the largest manmade structures in existence and, subsequently, one of the most photographed as well. One can look at pictures of the ship and begin to imagine what it will look like built. It will be an architectural mesh of glass, steel, and other materials carefully sculpted into a city roughly 1394 Meter long, 230 Meter wide, and 110 Meter high where 100,000 people are present at any given moment. However, what will life be like aboard Floating City?

They would first need to build an entire new shipyard because there is nowhere in the world that you could build such a thing. This is currently the widest ship in the world, 70 meters at stern.




Building shipyards is not cheap, better make a kickstarter for that first.
