Condolences.

Yeah, that was a mistake, I forgot about the $30 tier. Everyone who donated $100 or more should get $15 games free for the rest of their lives. You know, as investers should be rewarded. I dont care in the least but lets call a spade a spade. I was simply using the publicly available information to dispute that nobody was giving money as charity.

50k? Do you mean 5k? We lost more guys storming Iwo Jima.

Here, let me approach this from a different angle. As of right now 35000 people have contributed 1.3 million dollars. 19000 paid $15 for a $15 game bundle 12600 paid $30 for the same $15 game bundle (thus donating $15 in charity) 2600 paid $100 for the same $15 game bundle (thus donating $85 in charity) 763 paid $250 for the same $15 game bundle (thus donating $235 in charity) 81 paid $1000 for the same $15 game bundle (thus donating $985 in charity) 10 paid $5000 for the same $15 game bundle (thus donating $4985 in charity) 1 paid $10000 for the same $15 game bundle (thus donating $9985 in charity) Preorders werent just invented yesterday. Anyone could have gone to the website prior to this and ordered a $15 game. If all 35000 "investors" had simply preordered the game it would have only totaled $525,000 (35k x 15). Instead, through charitible donations, the total haul is a whopping 1.3 mil and climbing. Of course, Im sure the extra $900,000 will be poured back into the game. And just fyi guys, an investment is something that you put into hoping to get equal or more back. Not something you wildly overpay for to get the same base product. They should give everyone that donated more than $15 free games for life.

Thinking about what, a business model that can only succeed when financed through charity? You can bet your left nut this isnt the last time they will ask for "help", a monster has been created.

No, I do not know anything about Tim Schafer. Im sure hes a helluva guy, loves mom and apple pie and regularly helps the tards. Like I said, its my perception thats rubbing me the wrong way. They obviously couldnt get the game funded through conventional methods so they did what any red blooded American company would do, mussed up their hair, turned their pockets inside out and held open a loot bag for everyone else to fill. Then, even after doubling their needs, still keep the gravy train rolling. You know, for future projects. I think that last point is what bothers me the most. Just one mans opinon, nothing to see here.

I guess it just irks me because I percieve it as a cash grab that takes advantage of the end users emotions. I know you guys dont honestly believe the game will be TWICE as good because now they have 800k, so this extra money goes directly to their pockets. I know, I know, its not my money. Why do I care? It just smells of poo to me is all. They have doubled their investment without lifting a finger. I wonder what would happen if the whole project tanked, would they issue refunds? *goes back to tilting at windmills*

I know all you guys love this kind of stuff but I find it a bit distastefull. They went to the public to beg financing for their game (which doesnt buy the donators a copy), go wildly over what they needed, but then still keep the lines open for more money. Bad form. I wonder why a studio never financed them.

Im not sure I understand. They wanted 400k, are currently at 800k, and everyone is falling all over themselves to donate more? For what end?

Happy Birthday!!!!

I find children to be like electricity, they will always take the path of least resistance. IMO, its the parents responsibility to nudge the child forward and with my daughter, Ill happiply finance any activity with the understanding that shes to see it through from A to Z. Of course, I never had pushback like you are describing Hurl, so I understand its probably difficult to address when shes standing there crying in front of everyone.

Mmmmm, Jwoww.

Whats that have to do with the Himalayas?

The Himalayas and nearby peaks have lost no ice in past 10 years, study shows

My cutscene was slightly different in that

Ah, Im only around 6800 myself so perhaps thats the trigger. For such a big story point I expected more.

Is there ever any resolution to Khem Val's little problem? While I have yet to go to the PvP planet it feels like all the "story" portions of the game are over.

Speaking of which, in an incredible display of n00bism, on Corellion I kept getting the message "You must complete missions first" every time I tried to pick up a quest. I erroneously though that meant that I had to complete some other step before I could accept the new quest but in reality it meant my quest log was full. I felt pretty stupid when that finally dawned on me but seriously, cant the message simply say "Quest log full"?

Ive still got around 10-12 Heroic 4's scattered about different planets to do. I spent the weekend soloing all the grayed-out ones leaving me only green difficulty ones left to do. Im not really sure why I bothered with the gray ones other than the satisfaction of getting them out of my quest log.

Whats an MC pervert? Anyway, rub some dirt on it and get back in the game.

Finally finished the SI class storyline and found it entertaining. Thanaton was much harder to kill this time and I found it refreshing that I was forced to change tactics from my ususal tank and spank. Also was the first time Ive seen a boss CC my tank and come directly after me. Guess this is where I get on the endgame treadmill.

Im really getting tired of chasing Darth Thanaton. After 2-3 near misses on Corellion I think Ive finally got him cornered, enter whats supposed to be the FINAL KAGGATH, and lo and behold, he runs away to Korriban. *rages*

Is that a dead guy still strapped into the wreckage of a plane/helicopter?

You know, some of the DS vs LS choices are just so silly. I get it, Im a Sith, no mercy, kill everything. But there I was on Corellion confronted with the choice of cutting down the leader of this rodent-like race. He was defeated and begging for the life of his pack, even swearing fealty to the Empire and the choice was to kill him (DS) or let him go (LS). Choosing the LS option cost me -50 DS and -30 companion (Val, hes a cold hearted widowmaker). I stink at being evil.
