Ever wondered what to do on a boring day?
Tired of thinking for yourself?
would you rather leave your decisions up to random chance?
then The Push is for you!
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/90731803/the-push

And exactly zero people want it.

This seems like one of those ideas where someone went...

"I want to be a smash success on Kickstarter! But what to make.....*spends 20 minutes thinking about unrelated things and trying to make a product out of them*"

"Oh I know. Dice because I'm spineless and indecisive!"

Yeah - they'll only send out 5 copies of the game but they want $15k. It's like they think that people on Kickstarter will donate without getting something out of it.
Of course, it's probably a joke or mistake.

Most of the decisions made by the dice require further decisions.

How are we supposed to make the decision to pledge to the dice kickstarter if we don't have dice already to make that decision for us?

And if I can muster the ability to pay for this kickstarter even though no arbitrary device is telling me to... do I really need this product?

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

I can't decide if I want to support that project or not.  If only I had some kind of game to decide for me.

This is beginning to sound like the lead up to a bad infomercial, that is itself a lead up to an actual infomercial.
