The purpose of Kickstart This! is to alert our readers to Kickstarter campaigns entering their final week. These are the pick of the Kickstarter litter in our opinion, and if we could, we’d be personally backing every last one of these.

Please check out my Youtube channel, or continue to enjoy those videos as they’re posted here at this site.
