That new ultima game looks awful. I know Ultima games have never really looked good, but man, it is terrible. The font looks terrible, the characters look cheap. I'm not too thrilled about it, not sure it is going to get funded.

Doki Doki Panic was originally created to become the next Mario game, before being shelved for a while, then retooled to match a Japanese tv promotion.

I didn't know that, that is pretty cool.

I think it is cool fans get to see a movie made when before all they could do is write letters and hope somebody cares, now you just send a bunch of money to people and all of the sudden they care and now maybe we can get a proper ending to the TV show Alf.

I think my "son" wants to dress up like Princess Peach because some bullies told him he couldn't. Time to get my kickstarter going, you don't donate to it, you don't support gender equality!

Princess Peach Outfit to be provided by Spirit Halloween. Spirit Halloween was founded out of the observation of a trend on the verge of explosion. Since the opening of its first store in 1983, Spirit has experienced tremendous growth. In 1999 Spirit Halloween operated 63 seasonal locations throughout the United States and was acquired by Spencer Gifts LLC. Since its acquisition Spirit has expanded its store base from 63 locations to over 1,000 for the 2012 season and has become the largest Halloween specialty store on the planet! Spirit Halloween stores are situated in high visibility, high-traffic strip centers. The typical store opens around Labor Day weekend and closes in early November. Spirit Halloween Superstores are located in 49 states and Canada in all major markets.

No worries, the wording was a little confusing. Here's a full explanation of it:

Isn't the point of kickstarter to get the money you need to make things? It always seems weird to me when they say "We would like to add this feature, but we just don't have the time/money".

The biggest issue with normal clothes is that they can be worn more than once, and that you can't rip them apart with your bare hands no matter how hard you try. This new and patented idea brings you a solution to a problem you never even knew existed. As all of the reward tiers say, it's "NEW FUNNN AND SEXY"! Yes, he also intends to make rip-able clothes for children.

Super Dick Man seems like the AxeManiac game I was trying to make with ragdoll male genitals. I'm suing.

Has anyone seen The Pheonix Project? http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/missingworldsmedia/the-phoenix-project-city-of-titans

It looks like a fan made MMORPG sequel to City of Heroes, that is basically asking for money to buy copies of 3DStudio Max for all the employees who will.... work for free on an MMO? Their goal is only $320,000 which sounds no where near enough to make a MMO title, let alone pay for the servers, support, designers, artists, music and so on.

Why do people keep supporting MMO titles? They will never take off. Has any MMO on kickstarter made it?

Internet fame always has a downside and he's still got 3 more weeks of this to put up with. :allears:
