Oh, and there will be paypal. Check the FAQ at the bottom of the KS. They don't set it up until the project is funded, though. (Because Paypal doesn't like these "it only gets paid if the project makes it" shenanigans. So by waiting until they know they are funded, they avoid Paypal's handwringing.)
I always thought it was because companies didn't want to take a chance that the KS goal wouldn't be reached from cannabalizing funding. But your explanation makes a lot of sense too

Nah, because if that happened they could just write themselves a check from the Paypal money and put it on the KS account. It's just because Paypal was throwing fits in the early days of KS frenzy last year. Waiting until you are fully funded is a smart solution, though obviously a risky one if you're not sure if you'll make funding, since you might miss out on money from people who can't/don't want to use Amazon.

To be honest, I think Brian had little doubt this would reach funding. With how beloved Torment is, this is like pure nostalgia crack for all us old-timers.

You do realize that they're not letting every type of pocket knife on planes, right? "Small knives with non-locking blades smaller than 2.36 inches and less than 1/2 inch in width." A box cutter is a shitload sharper than any pocket knife of that specification will ever be.

I know. You also don't need a box cutter's sharpness to cut someone's throat.

All I'm saying is, if they're going back to allowing small knives onboard planes, they better stop with the fucking horseshit of "Oh, you can't bring your BOTTLE OF FUCKING WATER THAT YOU BOUGHT FOR NINE BUCKS AT THE AIRPORT onboard."

Fucking TSA.

A much more detailed explanation why they are doing this now rather than waiting for wasteland 2 to finish was done in a wasteland 2 update.

Thanks for linking that, Dev. I'll admit I was one of the "WTF?" people, but this explanation makes very good sense, and I'd missed it. It helps to have alert people on here.

I'm also kind of hoping they're in contact with Obsidian on the tech side (considering Obsidian/Avellone is consulting on Wasteland 2, it's not far-fetched). Wasteland 2, Torment and Project Eternity are all being built on Unity and have obvious similarities, so exchanging knowledge could benefit all of them.

IIRC, Obsidian had already said they were using some of inXile's Unity tools. So I'm sure there's back and forth between them, yeah.

Just out of curiosity, Sho, how much did you donate to Dreamfall? (It's just a question, feel free to ignore or tell me to mind my own damn business. )

I'll shoot you a mail, don't like to talk numbers in public.

Allrighty man, I understand. I'll have to wait till I'm home to read it.

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).

Just out of curiosity, Sho, how much did you donate to Dreamfall? (It's just a question, feel free to ignore or tell me to mind my own damn business. )

Haha! Kickstarter Fatigue has kicked in! I was refreshing first every five seconds, then every three seconds, then every two seconds. And the pledged amount always rose. But then, eventually, there was one refresh during the 2 second cycle when NOBODY GAVE ANY MONEY!

Chris Taylor was right, after all... (I bet he feels really fucking stupid now.)

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

That's stretching it. I completed Modern Warfare 2 in 5 hours flat, and I was taking my time exploring what little I could.

That'd be awesome.

I wonder what the guys at inXile did all day today. Do you think they were just frantically hitting F5 all day? Kinda like we did?

I can just see the face of the guy who has to setup the Paypal option. Since they were like "We'll set it up once we're funded," he was probably like "Oh, I got time."

And now they're going "Karl! Set up that fucking Paypal option already!"

Poor Karl.

Their first stretch goal should be to bring that kid publisher back for an entire video.

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?

I bet that gets him so many women.

Chris: "Hey babe, I'm Chris Avellone. You may have heard of me. I was a stretch goal for Kickstarter."

Girl: *SWOON*

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

Yeah, after I backed Limit Theory, my wife actually asked me "So have you received any of these games yet?"

And I was like "Err... no, they're not done yet."

She gave me a little "nerd!" look and walked away. I'm not sure how to tell her I backed another game.

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...

I'm sure Slick has an "EA MAKES ME HARD" tat on his lower abdomen.
