Just sayin'.

Was it Alien Frontiers -- because I am inclined to agree then.

First Nate, now you're dead to me too?

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH F:AT!!??!?!?

And Sir Ghost, I would gladly take that copy of Alien Frontiers away from you. One of my greatest regrets is living by my own personal Bushido code and giving shit away.

Ah, I take it that here at FAT it's common place to scowl on the concept of kickstarter then? Might I ask why?

Because here at F:AT, it's commonplace for people who, for the moment, have run out of things to say about games to start bitching back and forth about games' business models.

You can recognize such posters by their liberal use of the words "leverage," "monetize," and and "revenue stream". When confronted with one of these people, do not, under any circumstances approach or otherwise engage them. They are corporate, capitalist automotons with no souls.

Be just as wary of anyone who displays inordinate levels of butthurt when jumping to Kickstarter's defense. These people only drink Vodka. Never water. They will sap and impurify all our precious bodily fluids.

Also, Serpent's Tongue looks pretty dumb.

I was going to object to this, until I realized the number of times I've been completely wasted on cheap vodka while traveling via boat between Osaka and Shanghai (1) outnumbers of the times I've uttered the phrase 'We have to synergize our backwards overflow.' (0). So, you know, fair point.

10/10 for the concept, which is pretty brilliant. I doubt that the fantastic concept can actually be translated into a good game, and the end result will most likely be a clusterfuck, but if they do this will be worth owning.

I've been keeping an eye on it for a while; it's a nice concept but the focus is on the chrome, I want to know more about the game. (Plus, memorisation puts me off, I'm awaiting something that'll counter that.)

I thought that was the Will Wheaton Tabletop series. Time for 'Trashdome: End of the World - Kickstarter vs Wheaton?
