NES Flask on Kickstarter

[KalessinDB]

I'm so in. I pledged for a CastleVodka one (I'm more a whiskey drinker than vodka, but Castlevania is my frikkin game) and I might have to add on another one. But I figured people here would want to know about it.

Ok thats pretty clever.

We already have a thread for that:

I give this project a big thumbs down. Neat idea, terrible execution. The flask will be fragile, and why carry a flask that can only hold one shot of liquor?

[KalessinDB]

I think it'll be more than 1 shot, they were using a prototype to film the video so obviously it'll be weird. But for $20 it's a conversation piece more than anything.

I had checked Off Topic for a kickstarter thread, but I have to admit I didn't think to check Personal Computers since umm... well since it has nothing to do with PC as a platform?

Oh, for sure, but for $20 you can also purchase a flask that is usable.

It's a clever idea, but I already have enough crap that just sits around. The durability of the flask was the biggest turn off for me. If that was in my back pocket and I sat down...*crunch*

I don't think I'd walk around with this in my back pocket. This is more the kind of thing I'd carry in a coat. Friends' weddings, funerals, parties, cold nights, etc.

So are actual NES carts being cannibalized for this?

[Luke]

Flasks are meant to be worn near the hip. That said you are the rule breaker.

Flasks also usually carry between 6 and 8 ounces. I can't see this thing holding 2 ounces. Not being a debbie downer, just saying this doesn't sound like twenty clams well spent.

Seems kistchy as fuck to me. Just another "gaming culture" cash-in, I suppose.
