Has Kickstarter finally hit rock bottom?

how long did it take him to colour in the fiver?

People try to pass colour photocopied notes around here all the time. The milk bar owner up the road gets a few attempts by low rent crooks a year at it. Money here has a plastic feel though so its hard to pass off. He busts them at it and they run away.

Back to kickstarter I think the amount of fraudy kick starts will for at least the short term be small. Failures always present and people losing money yes but to organised scams no so much as to poor business people.

For every Al Capone pillaging and plundering the interwebs there is 1000 defiance games like companies blowing other peoples money and failing.

For sure. The number of plain old idiots will vastly outnumber deliberate crooks.

In Australia, thats what you call the corner store you get cig milk and newspapes

Yes, but don't you also have milk in a bag in Australia?

Funnily enough we had milk in a bag. I think you can still get it like that. You had a special container to put the bag in so you could use it to just tip straight from the bag.

So long I wondered why he did it, but back then a fiver could buy you five pints, so ...

In Canada most milk is bagged. You toss the bag in a pitcher and snip a corner off to pour it out:

Haven't seen bagged milk in years!  Are you one of those East Coasterly types?

[nic-e]

Nope, that's just wrong! all kinds of wrong. it's so utterly alien to me to think of milk in a bag.

Which is why we decant it into a good english bottle, as is the proper manner for a gentleman to store his milk.

you still have milkmen in the UK!?!

your bored housewives must be the happiest in the world

Do you not?

I'm a busy man, the milkman picks up the slack so i can get to miniatures.

Yeah, there's a few still around. We had the milk delivered for a short while a couple of years back, but the feckwits were unable to understand concepts like "We're away next week so don't deliver any milk". The sight of half a dozen bottles of cottage cheese apparently wasn't enough of a hint to check their order book.

Just came across this nice little article today, from a game developer offering a very candid post-mortem of his company's kickstarter-funded game: http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=23830

Also, you can get fancy-pants milk in bottles here from high end organic grocery stores. I bought some to get the bottle! I wanted a water bottle to keep in the fridge and that was absolutely perfect. No plastic, no steel, just proper solid glass. Plus the fancy-pants local organic milk was actually pretty tasty.
