Solar Roadways could change the future of energy generation.

very neat idea but $1,000,000 will probably help create a mcdonalds parking lot.

Well, actually, it's worse than that. The feminism thing delivered a product eventually, and oculus rift is going to be a major innovation that will revolutionize the internet, it's just gonna take like 15 years. This is not going to be a thing and I guarantee these people will blow the money on hookers and blow. It'll basically be just like the YogsCast's videogame kickstarter.

*the feminism thing delivered a half-assed garbage product over the course of years with mostly stolen content

no it won't
gimmicks don't revolutionize anything. especially gimmicks that would make something less accessible

[e-maxx]

these wouldn't be very useful in a parking lot or on a freeway at rush hour

What about yogscast?

The idiots from the Yogscast raised half a million million to make a minecraft clone with their alter-egos as the main characters. They hired a small development team, and haven't made any significant progress on it in two years since their project was funded. They claim that they were understaffed and ran out of money, which makes no sense because they had money to hire more people.

If you want to see where half a million dollars and two years of development got them, check out their most recent development log:

It definitely went to hookers and blow.

It's not a gimmick though. The virtualboy is a gimmick. The 3d on a 3DS is a gimmick. Oculus rift isn't going to be a gimmick once it's done being researched and they've worked out all the problems.

you're really loving negative you need to calm the hell down

and it is a pretty big deal

[Frontrox]

Wow I feel bad for the people dumb enough to kick start that ego trip of a game.

you'll put it on, and it'll be cool for a few minutes. but before long, you're gonna get tired of it, and you'll take it off, and use a mouse and keyboard like everyone else
even if for some reason you continued to use it, by no means will it "revolutionize the internet"
why do you even think that?

you're really loving negative you need to calm the hell down

I'm guessing you're a big fan of the oculus rift

that's where his postcount comes from though

no there have been more than 3 posts to day with you being really loving rude and bitchy

I know you're talking about this and the don't hug me I'm scared thing, but what's the third?

It all has to do with comfort IMO. Virtual boy and the 3DS ended up gimmicks because they're uncomfortable, but if the oculus right doesn't hurt my neck to wear, gets an increase in pixel density, and doesn't give me a headache/vertigo, I don't think it's just gonna be a gimmick.

well i mean i say more because they're scattered all over the place like i'll just see some rude ass reply and its like man what the hell

[Flatflyer]

the 3DS ended up gimmicks because they're uncomfortable,

wasn't uncomfortable for me while I was using it
you just have to give your eyes some time to adjust to it
Like seriously I don't see why people say the 3d on the 3ds is uncomfortable cause I don't find it that bad.

[SquartleTurtle]

that stuff is tedious lol
