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.
yes I got it

no I haven't looked at it yet

no I won't post it

this better be the greatest adventure game ever

quote:

At the top of Double Fine’s golden tower, studio founder Tim Schafer sits at a desk carved from the bones of the world’s most endangered animals, counting his piles of Kickstarter money. After setting a goal of $400,000 to fund a new adventure game called Broken Age, fans pledged $3,336,371—making it one of the biggest success stories in Kickstarter-funded game development history—and now Schafer wants more. In a post for the project’s backers (and as reported by Rock, Paper, Shotgun), he essentially explains that his out-of-control creative vision has exceeded even the 800-percent funding that Kickstarter users gave Double Fine in the first place. If Broken Age’s development were to stay at the pace it’s going, Schafer believes that it wouldn’t be ready until 2015, a full three years after the Kickstarter campaign ended.

the comments are really funny because people are STILL lining up to fork over money to this clownshoes operation. there are also other idiots demanding refunds.

quote:

It's kinda dissapointing to see negative comments. Because generally it's always the complainers that seem to post comments in droves. I don't want anyone from the team to take this stuff to heart. They're doing an amazing job. The game looks great, the video's have been some of the most interesting stuff i've seen in a long time. Gaining an insight into the games industry like this, is a first in all my years. I am super excited about seeing how this all unfolds.

I totally had shivers the first time i saw that Video for Broken Age. The music, the look, everything. Pioniers have to take risks, to produce great results.

ADVENTURE GAMES ROCK!!

yea theyre doing an amazing job squandering literally millions of dollars with nothing to show for it

yeah it's an unfortunate fact that nobody likes to acknowledge but if you leave creatives in charge of a project more complex than tying their own shoes that project will never be done - google, valve, loving ion storm, He Who Shall Not Be Named, all need some cold-eyed emotionless profiteer riding them like a jockey to actually get anything done.

The range from your phone is 50 - 150ft depending on the environment. However, if any other Tile user's phone is within 50 - 150ft of your Tile, you will receive an update with the location of your Tile. When this happens, you will see a pin on the map view for your Tile. This essentially makes the range limitless once there are enough Tile users in your area.

if youre a hard working computer janitor like me when you come home you pitch your keys as far away from the door as possible so you can reason once you sit down to play the world of warcraft that getting up and going out would be more effort than its worth because you dont know where your keys are and dont feel like searching



this eliminates that i guess and also helps liberate your money
