nannerpus_ posted:they have 4 phds on hand, maybe they have something in mind, say, i don't know, research?* doesn't negate my last sentence, space companies are throwing millions around on trying every possible thing, even reviving lunacy like using 99% peroxide and zip fuels, because reducing cost to orbit by like 1% is worth billions (especially when you're talking about military satellite launches). then there's the billions the MIC throws at anything that looks like it can kill stuff - a launcher capable of getting a kilo of material to 7 km/s would be causing tiny stunted hardons all the way from burbank to a load-bearing drywall box in the swamps of virginia if either of these groups, who have more than 4 phds between them, even thought for a fraction of a second that there was anything at all in this, these guys would need scuba gear to breathe under all the money being thrown at them

Project Creators are required to fulfill all rewards of their successful fundraising campaigns or refund any Backer whose reward they do not or cannot fulfill. so if you gently caress up you have to refund anyone who paid for the "you get a copy of lovely project 69" tier and above don't you?

are there any rules about how many times you can re-list a lovely, failed kickstarter? i guess not since it doesn't affect kickstarter itself. anyway, fresh off their triumphant showing at San Diego Comic-Con (not at the show mind you, but at "Jolt N Joes" sports bar somewhere near it), Shadow of the Eternals is relaunching their kickstarter today. the demo they have up on youtube looks exactly like Eternal Darkness, even down to minute pieces of level design. i'm not sure how they've explained how they're supposed to publish this and not be sued by Nintendo yet, but it doesn't matter since they just want some nerd money they can steal and then vanish.

Sham bam bamina! posted:it's not a "backwards-looking typewriter thing", it's two halves of a keyboard that you attach to the arms of your gaming chair. it's really funny because the autastic guy who invented it goes on and on about how it makes programming easier and then the entire second half of the video is testimonials from ~real gamers~ ecstatic about how it improves their kdrs and dpss. also this: they dont even clean the keyboards before the do a close up

Shadow of the Eternals shitstarter back up: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/617502838/shadow-of-the-eternals-0 Endorsed by David Hayter, Accomplished Actor, Screenwriter and Director (who is in the game) and now with PS4 as a stretch goal. Nintendo logos and Eternal Darkness poo poo splattered all over the page, with the most important part hidden at the bottom: "Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is a registered trademark of Nintendo. All rights reserved." Not sure if they're still doing their side non-kickstarter thing on their website where they keep all your money even if no game comes out Tato fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Jul 25, 2013 |
