The time machine guy?  You really think he's going to build a working time machine on $500.

FTFY.

or maybe Valve goes out of business because they invested too heavily in something which then fails - like, say, human civilization.
Alternatively, initiate strife to refuse additional baked goods, and then abscond.

I was willing to assume that a machine was possible (I know it's not, of course).  I'll also point out that the guy admits to not having a college degree of any kind.

Weirder stuff than building a time machine? No, not really.

I should make one about an edible time machine that takes you a few hours into the future.  I call it powerful sleeping medication.

If he succeeds then he can come back to before he started the kickstarter and give himself the time machine for nothing and give everybody their money back before they give it.

  Then the universe can go POP.

That time machine one was actually the first one of these to make my entire family erupt in laughter.

well, if they discover wormholes, yes, it is technically possible by moving one end of the wormhole around at high speeds, resulting in one wormhole being older than the other.

1) if you discover a wormhole you've already got time travel (you exceed the speed of light in 3-space)
2) whipping one end around very fast doesn't actually do anything.

The Yogscast game is looking better and better.

After about a month, they have a copy of the Minecraft engine that doesn't display constructed blocks correctly.

To be fair, though, if it was just me working on a game I'd be having trouble too.

If I recall, they hired out a gaming company to make it for them.

And I dont think the YogCast guys are capable of making a game, I also dont think they have much input on the game at all.

The gaming company consists of one college student, I'm almost certain.

God damn...

That makes it even worse then. All that money, through at someone who not even out of school yet? On a first project?
