Narsham posted:In the realm of "possible but extremely unlikely:" Joel reached out to Critical Role when their Kickstarter surpassed the last MST3K Kickstarter and some of them participated in a live-read of one of the MST comics, which Joel mentioned in one of the streams. It'd be interesting to promise more live-reads like that via the Plex, to try to pull in some Crit Role fans at the last minute. Well there's one last Critical Role episode Thursday before the Kickstarter ends; if they were going to do a bump (or if Joel wanted to pay for an ad) that would be the time to do it.

Less than 350 backers away from the 25k goal Less than $43k away from $4.6mil Both could conceivably be reached before tonight's livestream, if not then will definitely be reached during

Also, her character's name is new Emily Connor, rather than Crenshaw. I'm assuming it's a Terminator reference.

Was Crenshaw any kind of reference? It sounds very 60s sci-fi.

I was too broke to back last time, so while I'm disappointed I won't be in the credits, at least my name will be in the Gizmoplex somewhere, but I would've pledged anyway.

I'd be holding out for some overstock Season 12 Blu-Rays because I missed it last time and then somehow missed it again (overstock sold out quickly as addons). Am I missing anything with the extras on the extra disk/booklet?

Columbo, apparently, at the direction of the "director." (Turns out that Frank Dietz is an amazingly good sport about this trainwreck of a movie.)

With exactly two full days (48.5 hours) to go they're at $4.742mil Today was their third-highest pledged day and third-highest new backers day (both beating yesterday, which was the previous third-highest for both) Doing pretty great for the end!

LividLiquid posted:I raised this way back when Netflix killed the show and when we didn't hear anything for as long as we did, I worried that Netflix had a no-compete or something that would prevent the show from doing another crowdfunding campaign to bring itself back from the dead yet again so while I'm not sure why it took as long as it did, I'm just happy it's back again. There may have been a no-compete for a time, which may have been why the last tour went on as long as it did. I remember an interview with Joel a while back saying that they were getting ready to roll out this Kickstarter shortly after the last tour ended, but then COVID hit and everything got pushed back a year.

Now at a point where failing to make it to $5.5 would be a pretty massive disappointment. Which, you know, is kind of amazing since a week or two ago people were preparing themselves for the possibility of only clearing six new episodes.

Just got ten grand in twelve minutes. Sounds like the 48-hour warning emails went out which is causing another rush PostNouveau posted:I wonder what turned it around. The livestreams? Plus Jackbox promotion, plus RiffTrax promotion, plus it was always getting more turnout in the last week than in the middle. Plus probably even more stuff I haven't thought of yet. I didn't expect increases to this degree this rapidly, but I learned five-six years ago to stop downplaying this fanbase We love this show. We'll turn out when needed. Even if it's less backers than last time for whatever reason, it'll just motivate the ones who show up even more. And when the episodes are out, the rest will come back

I went up a tier and was strongly tempted by the Bot Video reward... if I had gotten the new job I've worked for I might have, just in celebration. So if we fall $650 short, blame HR.
