Game News Wasteland 2 Kickstarter Now Live!

I totally agree with it being something offensive, just that it shouldn't be offensive towards us.

You're Jewish? Or that type of image would hurt the Codex as a whole?

 

[almondblight]

OT: While it seems like this is taking off very well one has to remember that the people who are most interested have been paying attention and have donated as soon as possible. One can expect the flow of donations to severely diminish over the next two days or so. (But if it stays like this for another while we'll have the million before tomorrow ) *daumendrück*

Double Fine had ~400k in the first 8 hours and ~1 million after the first day, ending with 3 million. Of course this won't be the same, but a very rough estimate would be if it makes ~200k in the first hours or ~500k after the first day, it has a good chance of reaching the 1.5 million mark. It certainly looks like that might be the case.

I was pretty happy to see that 1.25 million and 1.5 million meant more content, not full voice acting or videos. Fargo's at least saying the right stuff.

 

[Jasede]

My pants just exploded like a -

Ah fuck it.

 

[Krash]

*Masturbates furiously*

We should also donate brofists for good measure.

 

[St. Toxic]

Man, that money is just piling in. It pains me to say it, but I honestly wouldn't mind if that was my wallet.

Well go work for EA that could be your wallet.

ITC Fuck the money, I get to decline gaming for a living.

 

[Achilles]

Ok you degenerates, shit just got real. If you don't want Mass Effect 3 to be considered a hardcore old-school RPG in 5 years, donate for great justice!

 

[Stabwound]

Excellent. I will do my duty later today.

Well, we can afford to be seen as howling manboons when it comes to gaming because that image isn't based on our failings but on the failing of the majority of the gaming community who appreciate only MW3 and BF3 level of crap. If we start looking like xenophobes, then it's not the same. It's not like we don't have our share of KKKodeks Kool Kids tearing it up in GD, but making them out ambassadors wouldn't be the smartest thing.

P.S. And no, I'm not Jewish, not that it's relevant in any way.

 

[Trash]

Pledged a 150. Anything to make hanging around here for over a decade seem like not the giant waste of time it was.

 

[Bulba]

there goes the first statue out of 18 (there was a 5k donation)

 

[hiver]

Pledged $250. I would have gone up to $5000 if I had that kind of money lying around, but, alas, that's not the case.

 

[Darth Roxor]

I meant something offensive.

Offensive? Let me tell you what is offensive, son.

The Biodrones, Bethesda, IGN and all the assorted fuckers who ever dared to insult Glorious Codexia suddenly realising how unimportant they are. Suddenly realising that they are not being put on a plinth in a sequel to an absolute classic. Seeing the majesty of the Codex troll, laughing at them as they look for their emotional engagement, mocking their popamole ways and saying 'see? You'll never be as majestic as I am'.

That, young man, is offensive.

That's why we need to get DU to start that fundrasing ASAP.

 

[hiver]

250. now it's wait and see. My only worry is that the game will turn out to be shit in the end.

 

[Gregz]

Someone wake up DU!

 

[MMXI]

there goes the first statue out of 18 (there was a 5k donation)

I bet it's Notch. A statue of Notch. Fuck.

 

[hiver]

140,000 Kwanzas!

everyone got a brofist from me, for all its worth.

 

[Infinitron]

there goes the first statue out of 18 (there was a 5k donation)

I bet it's Notch. A statue of Notch. Fuck.

Built out of Minecraft blocks, no doubt.

 

[hiver]

$250 pledged. This is the best chance we've got to ressurect the genre people, break out your wallets.

 

[felipepepe]

IGN are lazy sonafbicthes and only updated their old article: http://pc.ign.com/articles/122/1220439p1.html

The comments are a good display of why we can't COUDN'T (AHAUEHASUHXOIUASDIOAUSHD!) have good things:

Lost me at "isometric". No thanks.

meh waiting for Fallout 4

Waiting for Kotaku to get their heads of their asses, publish a shitty one-line article and get equally shit comments.

 

[Semper]

no paypal no pledge - simple as that. fuck you kickstarter!

 

[Aeschylus]

Just registered entirely to say how pumped up I am about this. After nigh on a decade of gut-punches delivered by the "RPG" industry this is the first reason for optimism in a long time.

Donated my $100. Hope lots more people do the same.

 

[hiver]

no paypal no pledge - simple as that. fuck you kickstarter!

Paypal would block their account by now. Dont be a faggot.
ordinary VISA works just fine.

-edit-
150,000 kwanzanians.

 

[Bruma Hobo]

Shit got real, now is our turn to fight the good fight

 

[jewboy]

no paypal no pledge - simple as that. fuck you kickstarter!

Just borrow mommy's credit card, copy down the numbers, and pledge for her. Don't worry. She won't notice. Or just walk around with a sign: "Blowjobs $10 each. I swallow." to raise the money. Then Fargo could send you a t-shirt that says, "I sucked dick for Wasteland 2".
