Watch The Hatchfund Campaign Video For “Yasuke: Birth Of A Samurai” (Trailer)
September 27, 2017
Dude. DUDE! It’s legend meets line-and-ink in this animated Black Samurai joint in development. Gotta make this happen! If Tom Cruise can be “The Last Samurai,” can we please get the first Black Samurai project greenlit & funded… please?
(Watch above and see how YOU can help, too.)
Good feeling about this. Lionsgate Films AND the dude that brought the Kitana blade-swinging, head-decapitating ‘Duncan MacLeod Of The Clan MacLeod’ to life (Gregory Widen) are already attached. Dope!

July 15, 2016
Andrew Dice Clay was going for that ‘Apprentice’ spot Donald Trump had open on his reality show. But Dice also recalled a time when he bristled up against The Donald.
As a former cast member on ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’ Andrew Dice Clay recalls an off-camera “tiff†with host Donald Trump after the now-GOP frontrunner stated that he was “more famous†than the show’s contestants. Plus, Dice explains the origin of Trump’s campaign tone.

Advice From A Self-Made Millionaire: Treat Money Like a Jealous Lover (And Nine More Tips) [Video]
November 3, 2015
Grant Cordone, millionaire. Wonder if he owns a mansion and a yacht. Ha! Maybe that Bugs Bunny joke was too ‘old’ to get a giggle if you are under 30; but what Cordone promises you can get… is rich! To do so, Cordone says you need to get greedy, get away from get-rich-quick schemes, never give up, and be a good guy (ethical, willing to help others to succeed). That’s the gist. Here are the tips, via an Entrepreneur magazine write-up (and video above):
- Follow the money. You cannot save your way to millionaire status. Focus on increasing your income in increments and repeating that.
- Don’t show off — show up! Be known for your work ethic, not the trinkets that you buy.
- Save to invest, don’t save to save. The only reason to save money is to invest it. Put your saved money into secured, sacred (untouchable) accounts. Never use these accounts for anything, not even an emergency.
- Avoid debt that doesn’t pay you. Make it a rule that you never use debt that won’t make you money. Poor people use debt to buy things that make rich people richer.
- Treat money like a jealous lover. Ignore it and it will ignore you, or worse, it will leave you for someone who makes it a priority.
- Money doesn’t sleep. Money doesn’t know about clocks, schedules or holidays, and you shouldn’t either. Never try to be the smartest or luckiest person — just make sure you outwork everyone.
- Poor makes no sense. Bill Gates has said, “If you’re born poor, it’s not your mistake. But if you die poor, it is your mistake.”
- Get a millionaire mentor. Most of us were brought up middle class or poor and then hold ourselves to the limits and ideas of that group. Get your own personal millionaire mentor and study them.
- Get your money to do the heavy lifting. Investing is the Holy Grail in becoming a millionaire and you should make more money off your investments than your work. Investing is the only reason to do the other steps.
- Shoot for $10 million, not $1 million. Go for more than a million. There is no shortage of money on this planet, only a shortage of people thinking big enough.

It follows, that when he reached out asking supporters to vote for him to get on board with and host the #SCREAMNATION Tour 2015, we leaped at the opportunity to spread the word. Good brother.

‘Reading Rainbow’ My A$$… Star Trek’s LeVar Burton Reads “Go The F— To Sleep” (Video)
October 28, 2014
This post is funny AND touching. Gather ’round kids and get your funny first… Uncle LeVar aka young Kunta Kinte (‘Roots’) aka Lt. Commander Geordi Laforge (Star Trek: The Next Generation) is going to read one more nighty-night story. Just ONE more, and y’all are really pushing it.
For reaching our stretch goal, LeVar Burton sits the Rooster Teeth employees down for a reading of the popular “bedtime story.” This was done as part of Rooster Teeth’s 24-hour live-stream for Extra Life. Consider making a donation to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital of your choice. Visit http://www.extra-life.org/ to find out what you can do to help.
Well, done Commander. Well f–king done! Info on the very worthy cause for which Mr. Burton willingly stepped far outside his public persona to read, Extra Life, is included after the jump.
(Warning: Get some tissue.)

Technology: The World’s First Hoverboard (Video)
October 23, 2014
Okay, you’ve seen some really cool hoverboard demos that were actually cool feats at film technology (e.g. camera tricks, with famous actors ‘witnessing’ the hovering). This ain’t that. This is Hendo Hover’s genuine Kickstarter video. The future is now.
Coolest line: “The wheel may finally have some competition.”
…And the founders promise those who ‘kick in’ will get a ‘starter’ kit; allowing them to demo the technology themselves (not the board, but a ‘white box’ hoverer that shows what the board will accomplish). Watch above. Follow the link to help fund the campaign (below).

Kickstarter: Massive Ammo For Your Next Water Balloon Fight (Video)
July 30, 2014
Maaann! This should be out NOW! Heads would getting splatted!! Haaaa. Water balloon fights were the best back in the day, but chances are you could only have one, two… maybe three on deck for the battle. Not a lot of ammo for a ‘sustained battle.’ And how many balloons popped or split at the lip when filling or stretching them over the faucet/spigot to start? Well, no more.
Yeah. Tinnus Enterprises’ Kickstarter page promises that Bunch O Balloons will fill and tie 100 water balloons in less than 1 minute. Oh, and for those who don’t care or don’t care for fun in general (haters). It doesn’t matter. Because the Kickstarter campaign is over 6900% funded. In fact, Tinnus is taking pre-orders right now for this party product (anticipated to market Spring-Summer 2015)!
Kudos to inventor Josh Malone (and his testers kids).

Technology: The Maker Of Hoverbike Needs Your Help To Make It A Reality (Video)
July 29, 2014
Kickstarter lets us fund everything; including the future! Check out the above video, and imagine being able to ride a Hoverbike. That’s right, you can be part of the creation of the world’s first flying motorcycle. Nice!
Declared “a revolution in aviation” by the project head, Chris Malloy, the Hoverbike is the result of years worth of R&D to combine the simplicity of a motorbike and the freedom of a helicopter. Cheaper, more rugged and easier to use, the Hoverbike flies like a quadcopter, and can be flown unmanned or manned, while being a safe – low level aerial workhorse with low on-going maintenance.
Oh yeah. This is happening. It’s over 66% funded already. Watch and wonder above. Follow the link to get in on this below.

July 15, 2014
Daaaaaamn! How can you tell that your product idea is a smash? Well, put it up on Kickstarter with a $50,000 funding goal…and get over $4 million from online investors!!! That’s the Coolest cooler; and folks have invested en mass because they believe that a cooler with a built-in blender, ice crusher, waterproof USB speaker (networkable to smartphones’ music apps) and USB charger (to charge/recharge those smartphones) will sell like hotcakes on a Saturday morning!
Hey, watch the video…it is that cool of a cooler. The Coolest!
(Promised a first-run cooler for my Kickstarter money… How about a return on investment? With a decent expected payout I would buy my own Coolest cooler with the proceeds!)

Business: How Worker-Owned Companies Operate (Video)
August 20, 2013
I was speaking with a friend who is also an Oakland Raiders fan like myself. The Raiders have major financial obstacles in their attempts to get a new stadium built in Oakland or anywhere else in Northern California. The Oakland Raiders have also recently been ranked by Forbes magazine as the least valuable NFL franchise despite having a huge global fanbase. The Raiders have one of lowest amount of operating dollars of all the 32 teams in the NFL. Fans may not be able to help the stadium situation, but they can definitely change the value of the team. I have said on numerous occasions it would be great if the Raiders adopted a similar ownership system like the Green Bay Packers in which the fans of the team can become shareholders. The Green Bay Packers are the only NFL franchise that operates in this manner. Current NFL rules require an owner to have no less than a 30% majority share of the team. I feel this could work for the Raiders if owner Mark Davis offered a 49% or less share to the fans. Our discussion then turned to the corporate aspect of worker owned companies. Ironically I ran across this interesting short documentary on the topic while surfing the web that goes to further illustrate the point that collective ownership is the key to win in many instances.
