    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    Its not "that" ironic, really. Its just how the market went. This is literally the only way to really fund a game like that and thats it.

    No idea, but on his Twitter he did say he had donated. That the $10000 are his is speculation, though.

    OK, but it hasn't been 24 hours yet. It hasn't even been 8 hours yet.

    Yeah but he'll get the last laugh as him and his friends over at BioWare are the reason it's costing people $500 or whatever to get a proper RPG again.

    Well, if the decline is fated to win, at least we'll go down fighting!
    If Wasteland 2 doesn't get funded it will prove that the publishers are right and there is in fact no market for hardcore RPGs. Then we can stop pretending that there will ever be any more quality RPGs and either give up this hobby or embrace the popamole.

    Uh-huh. Except, of course, that Double Fine raised 1M in 25 hours, one third of their total, not like you're implying the majority of their total. So if Wasteland 2 can raise $300K in 25, they're looking good to hit their goal.

    And oh look, their just broke $200K. In about 6 hours.

    Haters gonna try their best to keep hating.

    My estimation is that they hit, at the very least, $500K in 24h. $1M doesn't sound that unrealistic either because I don't think that there are more or bigger adventure enthusiasts that RPG enthusisasts out there.

    I've just arrived home from work, and I see the news: Wasteland kickstarter is rolling. I'm tired, I'm hungry, my eyes are burning from exhaustion. I want to write something worthy, but all I have to say is:

    :kfc: :kfc::kfc::kfc::kfc::kfc:
    :yeah: :yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah:

    Thank you. J_C out.

    This is true, but I'd rather pay 500 dollars for a real game than 50 dollars for a turd.

    If I recall, DF took about 8 hours to reach their 400k goal. So though this one isn't going at quite that ridiculous a pace, it's not all that far off.
