Hussie said he was gonna do something this morning on twitter that wasn't an update. I was hoping for a map update, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Has the site changed at all?

Regarding Dave being the one to fight Lord English, consider that Knighthood meant, I believe, induction into the lower nobility, and "Lord" does suggest a title of nobility. This puts Dave in a hierarchy under Lord English, which further adds to the intrigue between the two beyond having the same attribute.

I'd say that it figures into Dave's inferiority complex.

They may survive if they pony up more cash. Also I guess Homestuck is ending in a year or so if this comes out in two years.

Note that the $10,000 tier is simply the first God Tier reward; ponying up $100k gets you the Second God tier.

10 people have already pledged over $405 a piece. That's ridiculous.

EDIT: That said, I'd consider pledging for a physical copy signed by Hussie if the physical copy had a Mac version on the disc.

Kinda disappointed that the sketch commission is at such a ridiculous level, but considering how swamped Andrew's gotten from past commission rewards I guess it's probably the only way to keep them from getting sold out within the hour.

They have to be; they're not listed with the "real" tier rewards.

e: Just saw that KS doesn't allow pledges above a certain amount, but some of those God Tier rewards are pretty close to the Penny Arcade ones.

They can't be on the list of tier rewards, Kickstarter has a limit. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the description.

Not at all, I was heartbroken that I missed my chance to get one from the original run.

Possibly a $100 level of heartbroken, given I'd be tempted by that and the rest of the goodies in the Brotacular pack.

The things like the scalemate plushies and the pins are sorely tempting. Part of the text did suggest that if the scalemates were popular enough, they'd make more later, though, so there's that.
I would probably contribute an irresponsible amount of money if I weren't going to move soon. Good thing I am, I guess.

I dunno. The print seems excessive, so you could go to the GAMEPAK1+ that's the tier below.

Man, I really want one of those scalemate plushies, but I don't really care about any of the other stuff that comes along with it. As much as I want one of those adorable things, 255 bucks for one is a little over my spending budget right now.

Here's hoping that Hussie sells these on whatpumpkin for a more reasonable price.

Actually I think I like the $55 one the most. I love physical copies of games, but it would have to be a pretty crazy thing to warrant $55 for the physical copy alone.

Every time scalemate plushes come up, someone in the know has more or less said that it's impossible to make them(they are hand-made, after all) at the quantities that can approach the massive demand for them, so unless they manage some kind of sweet toymaker contract for a HUGE batch, which itself would take a pretty big startup of cash, they're always going to be a somewhat exclusive item.
