People pitched a fit because Dante in the Devil May Cry remake had hair that was like the developer's, so in this day and age having Garriot's self-insert in the game is going to cause riots.

I know Kickstarter checks each campaign before they go live so how do people get away with risks and challenges sections like that? I mean they haven't actually identified any risks or challenges. They've essentially just said it'l happen because I pinky promise.

Wow, you have high standards. B5 was making extensive use of CGI on a TV budget nearly 20 years ago. That it looked as good as it did was a miracle.

You know, this got me wondering if anybody owned a patent for the wheel. If you did, I don't know how you'd resist the temptation to be the biggest patent troll of all time.

His introduction to this video really sounds to me like he's saying the CEO is really, really angry that Dyack's involvement in all of these scandals is effecting their business, and this is him desperately trying to stop that. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if after this they continue to not get anywhere near their goal, we hear Dyack has been fired.

If you were smart yeah, you'd pick GBHX or something. In practice a lot of people are going to pick the equivalent of 1234

Canonical wants $32,000,000 in 31 days to make an Ubuntu smartphone.

Good luck with that!

I know most people are probably tired of this story as we ran it into the ground last time, but holy crap look at that website. She has a gamer girls store with really lazy gamer girl merch, including this beauty.

Yes, nothing says "innocent send my 9 year old daughter to computer camp project" like setting up a site hocking loving beer koozies. God, that women is awful.

3 Switch Revolving Decanter and Glassware





Also your product may be a complete piece of poo poo because nobody wants glasses that keep moving around.

quote:

This is what started it all. A very challenging piece to produce. Patrick had been working on this for many years when he was introduced to Brent as a possible glassblower to fulfill the difficult task of making it. It is a difficult shape to produce by hand and then Patrick wanted the glassblowers to add a conical foot to it while still hot on the blowpipe. Encolmo glassblowing takes a lot of skill. With much trial and error the project slowly evolved as well as Brent and Patrick's relationship as partners...the business kind.

Since the launch of KickStarter, the word 'Wallet' is becoming more and more of a meaningless phrase. In the near future we will simply carry loose coins and bank notes around in our pockets. If any of those bills happen to have a bit of lint on them, then each individual fiber will count as a wallet.

Elementary My Dear Watson might've had a "typical" funding chart but it was posted everywhere that it had tons of made-up backer accounts, so it's hardly surprising Kickstarter took notice and shut it down.

It looks like the mice were leftovers from some OTHER experiment that didn't end up going ahead, rather than being bought specifically for this purpose.

Also, an acknowledgement in an academic paper is NOT COAUTHORSHIP. If you're selling authorships for $1000, sell actual authorships*, not just a loving mention in the smallprint

She did some of the worst writing in Dragon Age 2, writes and acts like a goddamn Troper (gigglesquee), and was generally very public and open in embodying the things people didn't like about post-buyout Bioware.

See, you just think that because you haven't read the novel yet. Once you do, it will be like Uncle Tom's Cabin and win minds and hearts and, most importantly, justice for Mr. Chrisopher Wood of Titusville Florida, whom is serving 51.75 years in prison for a crime posible it is he did not comit.

On edit: Jeez Louise, and dude apparently represented himself and faked an affidavit that was supposedly from the ex-wife saying "Oh, that whole tying me to a tree and sodomizing me thing was my idea for an indie porno."

I honestly would read the gently caress out of this novel if only it were written in English.

As a random observation I'm always astounded how much money the miniatures community has. Like every project that has miniatures sky rockets in ways other categories simple don't. It's odd because it certainly isn't as big as market as say, video game players.

That game could actually happen, and at that budget. (Its pretty much just a glorified chatroom, and the art is lazy).

That said, the masses aren't exactly clamoring for a Jane Austen world simulator.


Nope, nevermind, they're just as batshit crazy.


That alone would be awesome, something MMOs need to incorporate more of. But... you ain't doin' that on 100K!

Well, I'm sure the game is going to be poo poo. But the guy I assume is just a developer, so cut him some slack.

The camera remote thing is retarded; for the same price you could get a name brand remote and not gently caress about with a smartphone. Plus you wouldn't have some dangly thing hanging off your camera to get ripped off/in the way.

Plus any decent photographer is going to have at least a small bag of goodies to lug around anyway. If you're just a hipster douchebag and carrying JUST camera and nothing else, then just use your phone to instagram pictures of your loving cat.

The only way it'd be an actual good idea is if you could somehow see through the viewfinder via phone, now that would be handy.
