And, the only thing you ever need to worry about is the opinion of someone you respect. Everything else is waffle.

It's alright, it was more a silly rhetorical question than anything else. Dimrill, Sega Rally and Lost Planet are awesome.

Lost Planet was awesome. I liked the flawed sequel too -now that had a story I liked. Something about pirates or a robot tumble dryer and a lizard perhaps. Having sex.

Not to mention they aren't listed on Kickstarter itself. I'd say that's a fairly big clue.

I read the quote and thought "hahaha" because it read like a Daily Mash article, then read two pages of moaning and started to panic that I was losing my marbles and missing some important aspect, because surely this discussion couldn't be serious, could it? I mean, photo/undoctored photo... really?

Jesus wept.

Except that it's already been stated that Kickstarter's set-up only allows a $10,000 maximum pledge. What their page does have is a link to Double Fine which details the rewards >$10k and there's absolutely nothing to indicate they're not genuine.

Post subject:  Re: What the fuck is this shit?
Considering that people have already pledged the $10,000 amount, and some have even said "I would have paid more if Kickstarted had let me" I don't think they are a joke. Or if they are, they're a really good joke.

Yes, because I think most art is objectively valueless. Well, more specifically abstract art, and things that don't actually demonstrate an incredible level of technical skill. Subjective worth for objective bollocks. Pay for that and you're an idiot, in my most humble view.


Oooh, you are tremendously wrong.

And do you think they did that because of the possibility of getting a picture of one of the developers smiling and not photoshopped or whatever?

Really?

Hard to say, but I know that they wouldn't have done it if the developers didn't give them the option to.

On the other hand, if anyone wants to give me £10, I may or may not give them an awesome home video. Give me £100k and you film it. £200k and fuck it, you can join in!

If your wife would feature in this video I think you may already have a PM from Throughsilver

Wait. Liverpool is round the corner. I'm not paying for anything other than a hotel room and someone to serenade Flis with 'Thong Song'.

That was itself a group buy from some... uhh.. slightly odd folk.

On the other hand, the $1,660.19 from [url=twitter.com/tantepose]@tantepose[/url] appears to be an individual.

I've generally given $10-15 for the Humble Bundles. Even if I spend just a few hours playing just one of the games, it's easily worth that.

That's a bit cheeky, isn't it? They're effectively reselling the humble bundle and giving away half the money to their choice of charity before handing the rest over.

I assume they have consent. Still odd though.

You people baffle me. Assuming the method is above board - once again it's just people paying over the odds because they're happy to do that. Personal choice, yada yada, everything you were saying yesterday. Now it's odd?
Author:  Grim... [ Fri Feb 10, 2012 11:50 ]
Post subject:  Re: What the fuck is this shit?
No - I find the fact that they are allowed to resell it odd.
Author:  ElephantBanjoGnome [ Fri Feb 10, 2012 11:53 ]
Post subject:  Re: What the fuck is this shit?
Depends how charitably-minded the vendor is, and I suppose it fills a niche for those people that want to pay for something they like while supporting a worthy cause.

It's not odd that people are paying for it, it's odd that these guys are reselling a donation, creaming half of it off (admittedly for charity), and giving the rest to the Humble Bundle guys. If it's with their blessing, fine - but if it's not, they're effectively ripping off the Humble Bundle guys for half the money they would have been getting - and they don't have any 'personal choice' in the matter.

Seems to have the blessing of the humble indie bundle people so it's fine I guess. But still odd.

Post subject:  Re: What the fuck is this shit?
It is a strange one, that. I imagine the developers would take some flak if they objected to it, what with charity being involved and all. Maybe that's why it has their blessing?
Author:  Doctor Glyndwr [ Fri Feb 10, 2012 12:29 ]
Post subject:  Re: What the fuck is this shit?
I think you've misread it. The charity contribution in the Brony bundle purchase is just the charities that the Humble Bundle guys support. In other words, the 60%/30%/10% they list is how they set the sliders on the Humble Bundle page when they buy it.

I also don't think people contributed to the Brony Bundle get the games (how could they? They've only bought one licence for their donation...). I think it's just for PR/philanthropy.

Nah, not really. People just really like the new My Little Pony series, because it is *gasp* well put together, funny and totally not what you'd expect from a merch-driven girls cartoon show. Bronies are adult males who enjoy the show.
