Yeah, I came across a game on here called Flippin Doo Doo. I voted for it because it's comical and has a huge potential to go big.

As many as you want. I would especially also recommend looking further than just the typical PR-drama queens. There are many projects around not having PR-gurus at their side so they need your support more than any other.
