I see what you did there, Kickstarter
I'm not about product placement on this blog - only about fair and balanced commentary, obviously - but this opportunity was way too good to pass up. Remember when Cards Against Humanity was a Kickstarter? I didn't either. Who knew? Anyways - a crew of development practitioners has taken to Kickstarter to produce a C-A-H / Apples-to-Apples-like game they're calling JadedAid. I'm definitely going to order one. Or two. Or seventeen for all of my development-oriented friends. Maybe.
A sample hand from the game. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.
Oh, the humanit[ies]!
Found this on a friend's blog, and decided it was too good to pass up. Happy Sunday!
Apparently it's from a campaign run by the University of Utah to get people to take humanities classes. Well played.
