    Want to build a popular game? Frustrate your players...

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I think this type of game mostly works on certain types of players, but it can REALLY work on them. Imo, the key is quick replays so you don't lose the emotional momentum from dying. You don't want the frustration of the setback of death to overcome the desire to win. This is also nice...

    My Current Girlfriend

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    She doesn't respect you any more. She wants to leave but is scared to make the choice, so she's hoping that you'll make it for her. The more you try to convince her that you should be together, the more needy you'll seem. You need to work on being a more awesome person, and let her decide...

    My Ex-Girlfriend

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    First, realize that you are not your emotions. You are affected by them (and they by you) to some degree, but you and them are separate things. Second, remember that you chose to get rid of her. You made a choice, and now your emotions are trying to override it. Do you really think that your...

    Facts you must accept in order to fully become a rich and powerful bastard in America:

    MINDSET 
    To be fair, it was posted by the guy that owns the forum, who has long since left AM behind, if you believe what he posts.

    cPanel for each website or put them all together?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    One cPanel for each site imo, unless you've got a really compelling reason to do otherwise. If nothing else, it will be easier to sell or migrate a single site when you can just back up/deploy the entire account.

    Progress thread: From idea to store shelf

    IDEA 
    What sort of minimum production runs are you looking at? I don't have any experience in that area, but I happened to be listening to a podcast about manufacturing a couple of days ago where they were complaining about the startup costs for injection molding due to the costs of forms/molds and...

    How Much Would You Pay For These?

    I think I have a bit of a mental sticking point at $200 for sunglasses. Bumping the price over that might be possible, but you'd have to really make me want them somehow. However, 150 or 200 isn't going to make a difference. However, I'd also never buy $200 sunglasses without being able to...

    Meetup in Hamburg, Germany

    MEETUPS 
    If there are enough EuroFastlaners interested, I would pop over. Not once a month, but maybe 1 or 2 times per year.

    How do you get funding for unfinished game?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Pretty nice intro. What kind of CPMs do your ads deliver? (if that's something you can share) Ya, you can get a fairly crazy amount of functionality for free, or pretty close to it, with Unity. It makes it very fast and easy for someone to jump in and make a basic/bad game. Of course, making...

    How do you get funding for unfinished game?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    That's a pretty big question, though mailing reviewers/news sites is a good step. However, they'll be more likely to pay attention if you've already developed some followers and hype via other means (your YouTube channel, indie communities, etc.). Here's a great resource for developing some...

    How do you get funding for unfinished game?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I can see that you might want to keep a running log of your videos and screenshots to show your progress, but I would try to reverse their order if I were you. The first screenshots listed are so dark as to be almost useless, but the later ones are much better. I imagine most people check the...

    How do you get funding for unfinished game?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Any crowdfunding platform is basically selling something that's unfinished. People basically treat Kickstarter like a glorified pre-order system (at least as far as games are concerned). Afaik, you just need a US bank account to set up a Kickstarter campaign, so either find an American partner...

    Business travel website

    I've booked hotels for business travel maybe 10-12 times in the last year, so I'm probably your target market. However, my selection criteria doesn't seem to have much in common with your questions. The first filter is proximity to my destination, and the second is "does this place seem...

    World Travel - Is it one of your BIG goals/dreams?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Moving to a very different country is pretty much the ultimate pattern interrupt. If you want to get rid of old habits and ways of thinking, dumping yourself into a situation can give you a blank slate to build on, if you're prepared for that. Of course, if you aren't, you'll eventually...

    Official 2014 Beer & Pancakes Topic Thread

    MEETUPS 
    I know that some people get a bit squeamish about presentations/public speaking, so I thought these might be useful. Garr Reynolds has written a few books about presenting, and I think they're all very useful unless you're already great at presenting. Here's Seth Godin's post that introduced...
