Money Update 9/23/2014 - Chris Makes a Kickstarter

[The Yawning Squirtle]

If a team of a super cool video game concept of hover car racing that my friend was involved with can't get funded; I honestly don't see how this is going to go anywhere.

Or maybe I am underestimating the support of this LolCow lately.

I wonder how many months into the future Chris is going to keep using kickstarter, ebay, and other online financial hubs to e-beg for toys before he gets tired of the near total lack of getting what he wants.

MULTIPLES!

Just saw the newest Facebook post where he's complaining about having to pay insurance for his new car that he took a loan out for and begging people to buy one of his overpriced framed pieces to cover that...

...while he has a $5000 kickstarter for lego sets....

....fucking....just fucking....

Well he has been successful through eBay, so he will probably try to keep that going, and if he comes up with more "good" ideas, he might keep making a little bit of money.

After a bit of research the prices of things Chris said he needs is

Mall-$105
School-$45
Olivia's house-$60
Summer riding Camp- $110
Grey base plate- $15

So the total with no multiples is $335. Granted he said multiples, but I can't see how he could need more than, say $2000 of lego. That gives him 6 of each of the things he mentioned.

Sometimes I wish I was born an autistic man child, but then I realize I don't.

Whenever his autism wears off. It wears off, right?

No, and he already threw out the cure for autism for his life upgrade.

 

[CaptainFeels]

He just announced he was able to get a new car under loan...........seriously why would anyone fund this man for toys?????

He's not going to get that $219. Nobody has to pay anything unless he hits the $5000 goal.

in all seriousness, is there anybody / group that would contribute a large amount?

About as long as he sat in public places with a sign requesting one free girlfriend.

F-Zero?

"Chris is not worse than Hitler"

But you have to admit. They both share an obsession with building huge ugly cities as monuments to their own gigantic ego.

Except Hitler was clever. And charismatic. Oh, and competent at art.

Or until he realizes that Sonichu is the only lucrative gimmick he has going for him.

So does Kickstarter have any kind of rules or standards anymore, or have they just said fuck it and will let anybody make one for anything?

Unless he can do one of those scams where the project isn't going to make their goal, and at the last minute somebody (themselves) donates the rest of the money, and then they get all the money from the legitimate pledges.

Somebody on a video game podcast mentioned that they had funded five or six video game Kickstarters, and never heard anything from any of them. Then you've got ones like some iPhone case that ended up being funded and actually came out, but it was a lousy product and everybody was screwed that way.

 

[Konstantinos]

He should totally go for a "Restart Sonichu" kickstarter. Hell, I think we'd all chip in for that.
