I'm not sure if this was meant to be a playable game or just a dummy file they put on the disc to use up remaining space. I also kinda want to see it in motion, but I have a feeling that "motion" is only loosely applied in this case.

Don't be silly, it's completely animated.

Thanks for the advice guys, I'm not really looking for an android device to play netflix, I already have stuff that can do it... I just was trying to find a practical use for this lump of poo poo I over-zealously bought. If I can't do that with it, I'm gonna ebay it and just spend the money on, I dunno, a game, or some clothes, or something practical.

Well some people on this very site had some good results with making GBS threads on Gamecubes. I'm just throwing it out there.

Even if they had Minecraft who the gently caress still plays vanilla? There are so many good mods, some expand the game significantly, some are just for convenience but there is literally no reason not to mod the poo poo out of that game.

But I think he's a lot more upset about the wasted time than the money, and (let's suspend our disbelief and imagine we are all Ouya backers) he had no way of knowing that Ouya would attempt to commit fraud when mailing his parcel.

But he might have seen it coming. Although if he had he'd been smart enough to not buy an OUYA.

I'd be dissapointed if people continue to buy into hardware items like this without doing due dilligence, like finding out if what's being promissed can actually be delivered with the prices that are being asked.

I won't be surprised when they jump on the next big shiny thing that promises them the world for next to nothing, but I'll be dissapointed when they do.

Not me, the OUYA is magical. Best 23 million ever spent by other people to entertain me.

People aren't happy with Pebble? I admit I stopped following it after I got mine, but other than being delayed I don't remember people complaining about it. I'm perfectly happy with mine, it works as advertised in the original pitch. The final version even has a couple more features than the pitch, such as being water proof. I don't think any of that can be said for the Ouya.

I'm sure the OUYA is waterproof as well.

So your objective was not to get a thing, but you thought the OUYA offered something so valuable that it needed to make it to market, even though competing superior alternatives exist?

How did your backing of this project make the world a better place?

I just don't get why you single out the OUYA so much. Granted, this is the OUYA thread but it's kind of common all over Kickstarter and from the looks of it, they're doing pretty well. I mean someone's kickstarting loving bottle openers for $35 and I know a guy who spent over $2500 on Star Citizen.

I have to defend the pants here, yeah sure, he could've used his money better but it's his money and he can use it as he pleases. He seems to be in one of his sane phases or as close as he gets so I'm willing to cut him some slack. He's not hurting anyone and I often say the OUYA is the best 23 or so million anybody has ever spent to entertain me so yeah, his money made the world a better place by making me laugh.

Edit: I found some OUYAs for sale, they seem to be going for 30 to 40€ and if one stays under 10 I'll buy it just because. Don't need it, got my phone for it. Maybe I'll make it into a flower pot because thermite has been done and I quite like my fingats.

I'm seriously considering buying an OUYA. The vents being on the bottom should provide good drainage as I plan on using the case to grow a small, bonsai style tree in. $100 might sound like a lot for a small pot, but seriously how often do you also get a twin stick controller with an overpriced flower pot at your local nursery? OUYA Inc. taking it to the big three in a big way. Armstrong's, The Plant Stand and Roger's Gardens are done and Baked. A lot.

It doesn't need to sell many units because there'll inevitably be four people per OUYA! :v:

The OUYA isn't better than anything at all. Unless you're trying to play current android games on a Nexus One or something.

It's better at being a urinal cake than your average console as was proven a while ago.

This is great and all, but all the games you wanted to show people as system sellers either got wrangled by kickstarter or just straight-up decided to quit. And now your whole business model is wrapped around in voodoo cloth and skepticism, so I assume nobody wants to develop for you anymore.

There's probably a thesis waiting to be had by any psychology students who want to investigate why people get obsessed to the point of delusion about stuff like this.

First Canabalt, then Stalagfight, now Towerfall. I wonder what game will replace Amazing Frog as OUYA's champion.
