Does the early bird always get the worm?
I’ve come across a board game podcast just recently and it’s very down to earth. I like the 3 hosts, Jeremy, Brian and Richard. They’re honest, they’re nerdy, they’re real. In this podcast Brian and Jeremy state their point of view on Early Birds in Kickstarter campaigns. You can watch the video edition of the […]
Kickstarter Campaign Round Up – Part 3
They just keep on coming … and going A short follow up to the last set of campaigns I shared in part 2. Another set of well appreciated campaigns that had fallen well short of the mark. Trust me, it’s not like I’m ONLY picking on the campaigns that have failed, but statistically speaking there […]
Go Turbo – Diamond in the rough

It was something I’ve always said I’d try if I had the resources, and darn it, the price […]
