i understand that this is why mark hamil appears in so many terrible, terrible movies, he invested his own money into the first star wars film, is stupid rich, and can now basically troll the entire film industry by attaching his name recognition to stupid poo poo

mark hamil is also the voice of the joker (and totally owns at it unironically)

"But wait, what about that sprawling, vaguely Biowarian single-player epic you paid for? Well, the former Biowarers (sp?) at Stoic are calling Factions a necessary first step."

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

lol no

mark hamill is a legit nerd, and loves nerd poo poo, and he's fuckoff rich, so he just does nerd projects that he has fun doing and doesn't give a gently caress whether it makes a profit or not

he's not trolling, he's legitimately a huge nerd

why do people think they can open a bar in a metropolitan area for $7,500?

edit: looks like these dudes are committing the most common kickstarter mistake, promising too good swag at too low levels, even if engraved flasks cost $10 each it's still going to cost $3-4 to mail them oh hey there goes $30% of your money

the absolute most nerd poo poo allowed in a bar is putting bideo games in the tables

nothing else

no drinks named after mario enemies, dont put meme poo poo on the walls, no catchphrases on the menu. goddamn.
