Oh come on, I was expecting some responses too.

I say it's the facial blood that adds most to that resemblance. XD

DRM will never manage, nor has it ever managed, to stop pirates from pirating a video game (unless the video game is multiplayer only with only official servers as an option). The only thing DRM does is encumber the people who purchased the game and actually legally own it, for pirates it does absolutely nothing. And THAT is why Project Eternity, being DRM-free, will probably not lose nearly as much profit to piracy as DRMed games, because more pirates than you'd think pirate DRMed video games as a sort of a protest against DRM.

It's done, the proverbial books are closed.

Or it might be that Kickstarter or crowdfunding in general, for some reason, simply attracts more people from Europe.

I never got the impression that Satan's goal is supposed to be the destruction of civilisation. I always thought he's just a dude living in hell who punishes bad people in their afterlife. Good Guy Satan! XD Then again, I don't know that much about Christian mythos.

That sounds messed up.

Anyway, you forgot Oceania in the poll. Think of the Kiwis.

Zagreb, Croatia. Wow, I was not expecting to see that most people here are from Europe...

You pick your title. One that hasn't been used already. edit: Too slow.

I always thought that show never depicted nerds realistically, just mocking them instead. But a lot of people, mostly nerds, seem to like it.

The next topic: Could we BE any more nerdy? Give us suggestions and we'll try.

... we have. 0_o

But now you at least know how to pronounce Kerfluffleupogus!

I think everything's pretty much been said. There's only so much you can say when discussing predictions about the future of something relatively new like crowdfunding for video games.

Forsooth, young chap! In order to order things in the proper order, the order of orders in the Order must be very orderly! I have no idea what I just said.

Don't worry, you have excellent English skills for a marshmallow! XD "Kerflufflepogus"? That... doesn't even seem pronouncable (by English pronunciation rules). That would probably just be two words and would require a hyphen between them (kerfluffle-pogus) and, in that case, "pogus" would indeed probably be pronounced like "bogus" with a "p".

I've just realised I'm talking about linguistics while discussing the pronunciation of "Kerfluffleupogus". Ah, life. *slurps juice*

That's not really consistent, because "bogus" is a word on its own whereas "pogus" in "Kerfluffleupogus" is a part of the suffix "-upogus" (as you yourself dissected it: ker- + fluffle + -upogus), hence "o" in "bogus" is accentuated while "o" un "-upogus" isn't. In English, most non-accentuated vowels reduce to schwa (ə). There are a lot of examples in English where a similar or even the exact same set of syllables changes pronunciation (usually vowels getting reduced to schwa) based on whether it's a word on its own or a part of another word. The most obvious example, compare pronunciation of "cycle" with "bicycle" and the pronunciation of "finite" with "infinite".

You're talking about IPA? I didn't learn it in school, I learned it on teh intrenets. Here.

ur mum lol I dunno.

OMG you know what I'm talking about!!1! I pronounce the "-pogus" like [pəgəs] because of analogy with similarly constructed words, such as "hippopotamus" (where "-tamus" is pronounced [təməs]).

Like some others, right? Right? *crickets chirping* Oh nevermind.

I pronounce it [ʌ], i.e. I pronounce "Kerfluffleupogus" [kəɹˌflʌfəˈlʌpəgəs]. You probably have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm OK with that.

If you really want an example of a modern shooter that doesn't include neither chest-high-walls-cover nor automatic health regeneration, here's one.
