What shall we do with him? A permaban, perhaps? Probate him for a few years? Or...shall we employ a big red custom title? You, the goons of SA, shall decide his fate.
Well, it's all moot anyway. According to this science chart of science, at the current rate, it won't even reach 150K.

Edit: "We estimate $1.2m should get us around 6 seconds of airtime in Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014." So you'll dump all your game funds into the ad, so that even if you make a lovely game, people will buy it because of the hypnotic power of television? ...Actually, I genuinely can't argue with that.

Kicktraq is literally a useless website that at no point ever during the lifetime of a kickstarter gives accurate information, and yet people point to it for every single one.

But what about the TREND of TREND? The powerful METATREND?

So, we've discussed TREND and CORPORATE ATTITUDE. Now all that remains is STONER. How long until someone on the Internet makes a 'dont play this high lol' remark? Hell, someone probably has with Barkley 1.

Well, you can use the pledges and backers by day + a bit of experience with kickstarter to make a more useful guess. Though, even on kicktraq itself, the projection page is WAY more useful than the trend page, yet nobody ever points to it.

Thanks, I really appreciate the advice. I borrowed some Pocky from my STONER neighbor, crushed them into a fine powder, mixed them with Crisco, stripped, and smeared the resulting paste over my entire body. I splurged on 7 TRUE DOOM MURDERHEAD dakimakuras and have adhered them to my Pocky-slathered form. Right now I'm sitting in front of my computer in total darkness, where I will remain, motionless, until the game is released.

Thanks again for your help!

I was seduced by NG+ and the game pack into upping to $60, then said What The gently caress and went for $75. That Barkleynomicon... Gotta get that Barkleynomicon...

I wish though they had some more non-ironic stretch goals above 200,000. On the other hand, they might just be fine with having that much for their project - and if that's the case, I'd applaud them for the decision.

Oh, it's not on the reward panel on the right, but it's in the reward description in the actual Kickstarter text - "In addition to the kickin' tunez, you'll also get VIP access to exclusive behind the scenes updates and content by the ToGsters detailing the progress we've made, what we're working on, what we want to do with the game and anything else we can think of! We want the update to be informal and personal - a letter from us to you, not a dry, boring progress report."

I think I am going to be upgrading my contribution to $40.

Im honestly surprised at the amount of TREND in this topic. This game is not for TREND.

Also, the Homestuck Aerosmith cover is hilarious. The video makes it even better, Karkat is having exactly epitasis' reaction. You can tell which people associated with Homestuck are TREND and which are TRUE DOOM-MURDERHEADS. It's pretty obvious.

Unless you're TREND or CORPORATE ATTITUDE.

EDIT: I'm sorry, I mean the Homestuck cover of "How Do I Live," not "Don't Wanna Miss a Thing." You can see it here: http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003831 . Karkat is so angry. So very, very angry. It is delightful.

Posting about how much dislike Homestuck is really irritating. Don't do that. Just report him if it's a bad post, or ignore it otherwise.

Similarly, posting about Homestuck in here really isn't needed unless it's truly relevant. Just an FYI.

I really like this idea personally. It'd have to be like 1/10th the price and wouldn't carry the risk of directly alerting Time Warner to your existence. And you could have an actual rap themesong directly for the game, in that style.

Seconded. I hope Chef Boyardee sees this and replaces the Space Jam stretch goal with it (lowering the goal level as appropriate); contacting Time Warner is just too risky.
