Cool Competition

  • by Drew

Well, competition may not be the right word, but there were definitely a lot of other cool projects vying for the almighty crowdfunded dollar. I am especially drawn to a number of tech projects, many of which have no particularly useful application in my life but are nonethless neat. I didn’t see too much involving light, though. This surprised me a little because I’ve been reading a lot about alternatives to the incandescent bulb. Sure, compact flourescents leap to mind, but there are all sorts of other technologies that are still in the early (read: expensive) phases of development. LEDs have come a long way though. And related stuff like the cree xm-l. I thought that was a space ship designation in the infamous Skrull War, but what do you expect from a geek?

Nicked a Name

  • by Drew

Maybe from now on I’ll just refer to Mad Science The Card Game as “The Science.” That sounds sort of cool as a shorthand thing. I mean, I’m usually pretty adamant about using the complete game title (Mad Science The Card Game) instead of just Mad Science because there are so many Mad Science references out in the world. I want to be clear that I’m not, say, trying to infringe on the copyright of any actual Mad Science training facility because, let’s face it, those are not guys you want to meet up with in court. But if you strike the proper analytical balance and consider all that is implied by those last three words (The Card Game) I don’t think any mistake can be made. Unless it is willful. Or unless you’re Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

Rewarding

  • by Drew

Yes, as in I’m gonna be rewarding some folks now that the Mad Science The Card Game project looks like it’ll be funded. I’m pretty psyched cuz that’s one of the most fun parts for me. I want to go visit everyone personally, I really do. Like, sit in their lap and say thank you thatnk you. Now let’s play the game!

So how does one say thank you thank you without the aforementioned moment of lap-sitting awkwardness. Maybe house cleaning services apex nc? Naw, that doesn’t even make sense. Especially when I have backers in far off mysterious places like Australia and Canada and… Rhode Island.

Oh, and Massachusetts. After all, the spirit of Massachusetts is the spirit of America. Now, Mad Science The Card Game is part of that spirit. Can you smell what the Science is cooking?

The Fun Begins… momentarily

Or maybe I should say the FUNDING begins. Hee hee. It looks like we’re going to get our funding for the Mad Science card game. I’m super psyched about that. Now we can get on to the really fun stuff like distributing decks and setting up a launch party and making rewards. We’re doing the standard stuff like t-shirts and signed cards and stickers, but I wanted something really kickin’. Like… Mad Science the Card Game jigsaw puzzles?
