The best part is he conveniently opened a record store while the packages were supposed to go out.

Also, the unironic use of the word "bootstraps" in regard to starting said record store.

I don't think I've ever paid more than $1 for a record I can't fathom people being cool with $12 per shipment + $12 per record.

I've always wondered why no one rented music and/or computer games, so at least I've learned something from this debacle, too bad the backers didn't. :classiclol:

Plenty of places rented computer games though? It just was a lot less practical than console games because it was way more common to have extra copy protection trinkets you'd need to hand out (and trust the renters not to lose) and then later on there was DRM involved. My cousin rented MYST for the macintosh from a local store, for instance.

The only thing it needs is to have something like a hilt that goes out either side the same distance as between the blades so you can line up the first piece to be the same size.

i don't know about that specific case because the game looks dumb as hell and i'd never buy it, but in the past the mod sass rules have been applied in places they shouldn't be so I'd totally not be surprised if someone got punished for giving an honest review of the game

Theres nothing wrong with a mod making a kickstarter and posting it in the kickstarter thread where goons post their kickstarters though?? And she didn't probate people for criticizing it so the only argument you can make is "lol kickstarter" and "game bad". That doesn't say anything bad about the project or the thread. It just comes across as you having a hateboner for kickstarter and Shalinor.

What's with all these "portable" gaming devices that are so small you can't use the controls or see the screen? Do these idiots even bother using it, or do they just get some sweat shop worker to design it for them and they sign off on it sight unseen?
