I kind of thought the same thing about Cards Against Humanity, and yet there it was, on the floor of the lower chamber.

A friend and I were talking about that last night: they were looking for $10,000 and have already made 200 times that... they're going to have some logistical nightmares when it comes time to produce, ship, and deliver. I predict pitchforks and torches from the backers in a year.
(Also, I've never heard of Oatmeal. I'm apparently even more out of touch with Internet culture than I thought.)
I don't think he is going to have any problem. This isn't his first time crowd funding, and he's published around 5 or 6 books, so he knows how to get things printed and distributed. Also he didn't design the game. It is designed by former Xbox chief design officer Elan Lee, and Xbox/Marvel game designer Shane Small. Matthew Inman did the artwork and they are leveraging his fan base to Kickstart it.

To me it feels a bit like Claustrophobia for 2-5 players. The game seems to be heavily mission based where little rules will change between scenarios.

I'm not a huge fan of his art, so not planning on backing this one, personally.
Approaching $4 mil...
$4 F'ing Mil...

This is a big turn-around for me as I once didn't have a very high opinion of the C&C games. I just found the system a little too restrictive and preferred action point systems where I could move anything I wanted on my turn. But as my gaming tastes have changed, so has my appreciation for the simplicity and accessibility of the C&C system.
This is the first Kickstarter I've backed that I've really been paying attention to the comments from backers. Wow, some people are really painful and I can easily see how a Kickstarter campaign could go off the rails trying to cater to the incessant whining and/or demands from some quarters.

It feels like forever since I kickstarted a game and still haven't received anything. I'm just patient.
