I have an acquaintance who claims to suffer from lyme disease. She raised 10,000$ on GoFundMe for "treatment," which included a new chair, a new laptop, and stuff for her dog.

One of my favorite parts is how they say it'll be the best Multiplayer Online Shooter, but online integration is the 3rd stretch goal.

*chortle* As a stretch goal, our nice-to-have is this vital component of the game.

"...Customized wepon makeing..."

Holy shit, John Freeman confirmed for No Day'z Later!

The entire thing is by far the most unprofessional piece of shit you'll ever see, but yeah...
 
I love how the entirety of the 'risks and challenges' section is all about how to play a video game and not about the Kickstarter itself.

There's some real mental deficit here.

Did you see this?

He's created a patreon account to support his RPG sessions.

Just a few days ago, this used to be at the top of the page:

Notice how the two things have nothing to do with each other? It looks as if he started it for Johnny Briz, then focused on asking the internet to support his hobby.
 
No idea why, but the carsplosion guy reminded me of something I heard on Howard Stern in the late 90's. A guy was born with deformed legs, and as an adult decided he'd had enough and wanted to amputate them and get prosthetics. In order to pay for them, he planned chop off his legs with an old-fashioned guillotine and broadcast it as a pay per view event on the Internet. He didn't get enough buys to make it happen, but then there weren't enough people on the Internet, or with a broadband connection to make watching live video viable at the time either. I wonder if a crazy Kickstarter-like site for stuff like this would work today?

Someone should test that out. Who doesn't need their legs?

Behold: A Kickstarter for a live action Pokemon movie (not licensed by Nintendo!)

So they knew their project would get shut down as soon as the copyright holder of Pokemon got wind of it, but went ahead anyway? That would seem to come before things like making a movie with a bunch of British actors, and making one that would need hundreds of millions of dollars of CGI to resemble the cartoon/game. That nobody went and did this when Pokemon was huge should have been a sign.

It's kind of surprising how Nintendo doesn't make a bigger marketing push with their characters with things like big movies though. I know Super Mario Brothers sucked, but that couldn't be what scared them from ever making another, could it? There was never a Legend of Zelda movie after people went apeshit over Lord of the Rings or anything like that.

A guy who wrote a book on the history of the NES theorized they should finally go ahead and build a Nintendo theme park. There is a lot of prime undeveloped real estate in Seattle, where Nintendo of America is based, and a prime location for tourists from Japan. And coincidentally the property is owned by Maria Segale, who was Nintendos landlord in the early 1980's and is the man the character Mario is named after.
