In my experience bringing it up just once really gets them into gear. The amount of guilting and "just wait till you see what's coming in CitCon" you get is amazing too.

If Star Citizen was a pizza restaurant:

Just for you, Derek, I'll explain this analogy. You claim that "ordering a meat lovers pizza" is analogous to "pledging to Star Citizen". How did that play out historically?

Well, first, you're a moron, because it was pretty clear from the get-go that you weren't ordering a meat lovers pizza and were actually pledging to support a new pizza restaurant that will eventually be delivering to your neighborhood. Your pledge level was high enough where they'll give you your first meat lovers pizza for free, which you interpreted as "pledging for a pizza". A sadly common mistake, truth be told. But the Kickstarter was really clear that they wanted everyone supporting them to become regular customers rather than planning their dining schedule a year in advance.

Surprisingly (to some), this pizzeria Kickstarter made a lot more money than it would take to build a generic pizza place. But since the people running the show aren't idiots or scammers, they decided to use the extra money to make better pizza rather than just making a bunch of pizzas of acceptable quality and pocketing the rest of the money. They've contracted with local farmers to get fresh ingredients, they invented logistics techniques that'll get you more and better topping selection, they've invested in transportation infrastructure so that they can deliver pizzas to your house faster than any pizza has ever been delivered before, and they've hired some of the best chefs in the world to help them build better pizzas. They've been more open about how they're planning their pizza-making than pretty much any pizza company ever, and they're actively sending out pizza samples to everyone (including you) in order to get feedback. However, since building a series of pizza-transportation tubes takes time, and because the world-class best chefs are working to come up with the greatest pizza that's ever been, they've missed the schedule they set when they expected to only make enough money to secure a lease on an old pizza hut building.

And you're complaining because you wanted your full pizza delivered on the schedule that the original campaign predicted? You should go down the street to your local pizza franchise if you lack impulse control and foresight. Stop complaining on behalf of other Kickstarter pizza backers, because the vast majority of us are really excited to be getting our free samples of what's becoming the best pizza that's ever been made.

No it had Derek's face and Chris too I think. Fast scrolling text of a blog post for a solid 2 mins, preceded by the phrase "let me loving finish"
I actually never saw it with sound; part of the reason I want to see it again. So it was that text on screen.
