Torment is my seventh Kickstarter and my second-highest pledge so far (the money I threw at Dreamfall Chapters was far in excess of this one; Dreamfall is still the only video game that ever made me cry).

From a friend: "Fun fact: This game was funded in less time than it takes to play through a Call of Duty game!"

Aaaaaand: funded! Next stop: 2 million.

Holy shit 901 to 907 - what are they doing over there?!

Being an utter tit, I only now just realized that the first picture is a video.

LOL at that kid. "I just love it, Brian! You just say 'there's kickbacks! Deal with it!'"
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Fucking fantastic. Fuck publishers.

I wonder if Chris Avellone will be a stretch goal ... they had him as one on Wasteland 2 I think, and the FAQ teases with "planned Stretch Goals include adding more writing talent (including some names you may find familiar)".

Maybe Chris should put "Kickstarter stretch goal" on his card, if true?

My Kickstarter-total is getting ridiculous with close to 10 backed games, but no way am I skipping this one.

Meh, those are just Star Wars logos that were cool before and will remain cool (as far as nerdy tats go). Not like they tattooed "SWTOR IS GOTY OF ALL TIME WOO BIOWARE!!!" underneath...

I would pay good money to see someone put that in ink on their body...

The story doesn't sound plausible. For one thing, prior to 9/11, getting through that door probably would not have posed much challenge. For another, systematically murdering the crew would likely incense the passengers.

The most rational thing for the terrorists to have done would have been to simply lie to everyone that they were hijacking the plane. "Everyone stay calm and no one will get hurt." The passengers literally would not know what hit them until they slammed into the concrete and steel of the tower.

Another thing: As a Linux-when-possible gamer I was really happy to see them advertise Linux support from the outset, instead of making it a stretch goal.

I mean let's face it, the main reason "Linux support" and "Kickstarter game" correlate so much is because the Humble Bundle showed, via Linux buyers paying the highest average price, that Linux gamers are an attractive mobilization target because they like to show off their strong commitment to their favorite platform by reaching more deeply into their wallets. And yeah, that applies to me as well - but I was also starting to build up a little bit of resentment for having the Linux carrot dangled before me again and again. That they've committed to Linux support right from the get go contributed to me feeling good about this one (and making it a stretch goal would have made me feel extra-bad since they're advertising tech sharing with Wasteland 2 as a risk-reducing advantage in their pitch, i.e. it wouldn't have really added up to a coherent story).
