Story seems true enough though
[QUOTE=koeniginator;36621876]I hope you know that the onion is a satire website[/QUOTE]
this is still pretty true except for a small amount of kickstarters
i mean have you checked kickstarters except for the few popular ones that keep appearing.

Just look at all that money!
DOWN THE DRAIN!
Is it weird to say that the Onion is right for once?

Onion news or not, it's pretty accurate.
"FBI Estimates 94% Of Kickstarter Projects Complete Shit"
I'll admit, I smiled at this one.
1:22 - 1:32
Hit the nail on the head.

You just have to be careful and smart about what you fund, that's all. If it's vague and they don't answer your questions very well, don't fund it!
I love how he said they were close to being as bad as paedophiles :v:
At what point did Kickstarter turn into "let's just get some money?" I remember when Kickstarter was full of great projects and now it's saturated with random stuff.

Around the exact moment Tim Schafer got megabux.

It was inevitable from the start that someone would look at kickstarter and say "wow I can totally scam people out of money by saying I'm going to make this vaguely awesome thing".
Hey, I bet we could fund that wi-fi capable calculator on Ki-wait a minute...
Oh, and it appears nobody's safe from Yelp now that they're rating PEOPLE.

Meanwhile, at CLANG...
I've only really used Kickstarter for funding devs that I know are legit. Really glad that I'm gonna be getting a couple great isometric games in 2013

I was kind of sad that I didnt get to fund the Tex Murphy kickstarter in time. I blame Max Payne 3 for that.

actually those are useful because they allow the person to enable lucid dreaming in their sleep with machinery that DOESN'T cost thousands of dollars.

Which is funny because as far as I can remember, more professional ones exist for around 100-150 already.

I thought that at first too but this video is evidence to the contrary.

I feel like the amount donated is a lie there is no way people would give that much money to things that are so stupid.
Satire always has a bit of truth to it. So it's not inconceivable that this video would be right to some extent.
