Help this man publish his book on Amazon. Terrible English, excusable on its own except he seems entirely capable of writing something legible based on his speech in the video. Terribly vague description and according to the video the whole thing is a way at "getting revenge" for some politician ruining his life. Part of the funds will go towards a copy editor, and boy does he seem to need one. He also hopes to get some time on Ellen or Oprah. Rewards: $5. Feel good about yourself $15. Meet for coffee and snacks! If not in SF Bay area, you get an email. $25. Same as $15 but with a signed book. No mention of which book though. Maybe it will be something that is actually good?

There is no limit put on that backing option, what if 20 people pledge $500? He will have his goal, but he will have to add in a bunch of people getting attacked by dinosaurs. I hope he would not cop out and have them all attacked by the same dinosaur in the same scene.

The General posted:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/687530622/meme-tcg?ref=category Is that...the Pokemon TCG with meme-based pokemon? There are so many copyrighted things in that game, I highly doubt the creator won't get sued/forced to cancel the project even if they "redesign the game a few times because we felt we could be susceptible to lawsuits". The gameplay is like an exact copy of the Pokemon TCG with energy cards, trainer cards and evolutions to make your monsters stronger.

The General posted:I didn't even look at the rules. I saw Pokemon colours and fonts, pokemon cards, and images there is now way they have any rights to use (more likely get sued over). Brutal. I like that they think re-skinning the trollface with a pokeball pattern will avoid CR infringement. Combining two CRs does not make it a fair use parody, if anything it makes it infringe more.

Dr. Stab posted:I wouldn't worry about that. According to their FAQ, they have consulted a lawyer about it. If they get sued and the lawyer represents them, he gets payed win or lose, right? So it would be in his best financial interest to let them break copyright. Or the lawyer is dumb, at least in the area of copyright and fair use.

I don't know what to say...it's like he didn't even try to Google "SEO" to get even the most basic tips. Web Development Sperging: He pumped his own webpage full of keyword meta-tags, including the phrase "man cave smells" and even put a bunch in a visible <p> on the bottom of the page. He does not use any stylesheets, all of the styling is done in the object tags. He is using a ton of deprecated tags. He is using FrontPage V6.0, software that is more than a decade old. He is using inches as his styling increments, yet he uses pixels for the absolute positioning of his images (Why are they all absolute positioned? WHY?!) What he really needs is a Kickstarter to raise money to get a Lynda.com account to watch web development tutorials or maybe an OST course. e: just realized, those beaver shirts could all just be vagina jokes.

He could just move it to his left hand, then he only can't see for a quick second when using his turn-signal. Also, he could use his right hand (I am assuming that is his dominant hand, because statistics) to manipulate his phone if it is strapped onto his left.

Use a bigger spoon and scoop the way spoons were intended to be used, or pick up the drat serving dish and hold it over your plate when serving. Rewards: Thanks on the website!

You know how when you get together with friends and play D&D and make all those hilarious jokes that you wish you could share with the world? These guys do, and it is apparently some form of performance art. They use a lot of title-cards in their youtube videos, so it seems like they have a lot of time where there is not some hilarious thing going on. They are such hot poo poo that they need you to help raise $5000 so they can afford to go to GenCon and actually be present for the panel they have already signed up for. Hats for Cats Need I say more? Just look at how unhappy the cats in the video are.

The man card is a bit of a conundrum. Anyone that would use it is probably not secure in their man-ness anyway, so they would have to constantly flash it to themselves as a reminder that they are a man. At the same time, many of the uses described on the kickstarter page are not examples of men, but of assholes pretending to be men. If you are so insecure about your own masculinity that you use that card, perhaps you are not really a man after all.

Fatkraken posted:It says the wallets last "seven years or more if stored properly". That sounds like an awfully short amount of time for paper to last, I have old books on my shelf that are more than 50 years old and still more than readable, and that's on lovely yellowing-prone cheap paperback paper. Is it some quirk of thermal receipt rolls that they go bad in just a few years, or is he just covering his arse? The ink on my receipts usually wear off after a few months if not stored properly.

Frozen-Solid posted:The last time I heard from him he wanted me to work for him again, because he was just getting into this awesome new concept called "Search Engine Optimization." All he had to do was make a website with a bunch of links on it, and he'd charge people to put their website on his links. He'd then put that link page on every site that he hosted for anyone, so every link would be on dozens of different sites all linking to one another! He must not know how to actually use a search engine because if he did he could easily use it to find out what actual SEO is and that link farms don't really work. I bet he will soon have the great idea to put a bunch of keywords in meta tags on all his pages too! If he wants to make money he should sell the time machine he used to get here from 1999.

A large popcorn and drink combo is only $10 or so in comparison to the normal $20-30. Holy poo poo those are some expensive tickets. Here in central MA I pay $8-12 per ticket and like $12 for a drink and popcorn (and I sneak in my own candy). My cousin came to visit from Pontiac and was amazed at how high our prices were. If I had to pay $20 for a ticket, I would just not go and buy the DVD when it came out.
