Crowdfund Bookie, June 30 - July 6: Tobuscus Adventures, Void Destroyer
The Crowdfund Bookie crunches data from select successful Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns that ended during the week and produces pretty charts for you to look at. This week in crowdfunding, the Kickstarter campaigns for Void Destroyer, GhostControl Inc, Harvest, Tesla Breaks the World, Dormant Sky and Endica VII: The Dream King as well as the Indiegogo campaign for Tobuscus Adventures: Wizards came to a close. Tobuscus Adventures: Wizards earned the most dough this week ($642,779) as well as the most backers of the funded projects (11,584) and highest average pledge per person, with each funder averaging $55.49. The game will be the first in a series of RPGs for iOS, Android and Steam based on the popular YouTube shows of the same name by Toby Turner. Check out the results and our dandy little charts after the break.
Dead Space 2 trailer literalized by Tobuscus
Toby "Tobuscus" Turner's literal adaptations of trailers are both hilarious and impressive. His latest effort is no different: a Dead Space 2 TV ad combining his parodying skills with the ad's song, Smashing Pumpkins' 1995 hit, "Bullet with Butterfly Wings."
Literal Cataclysm cinematic trailer
YouTube comedian Toby Turner (also known as Tobuscus) is the mind behind an ongoing series of literal game trailers. Tobuscus grabs the serious cinematic introductions developers use to pull us into their game and takes them down a path of lyrical hilarity. His most recent release is a literal World of Warcraft: Cataclysm trailer. Go on, watch it. You'll be glad you did. Well, you'll either be glad, or you'll spend the rest of the day cursing Toby's name for getting the trailer's new lyrics stuck in your head. Both of those are OK in my book.
