So to me, that guy is irrelevant, he is the literal reason Star Wars sold for only $2b (the other $2b were Disney stocks), when Pixar sold for 7b... Pixar, is worth more than Indiana Jones, ILM and Star-Wars together. That is how run down and ruined this once, greatest of all franchises, is.
Thats a great point. $4b seems low for everything. I wonder if lucas had to LOWER his price to make sure disney bought it. In that linked youtube interview he talked about how he wanted to make sure it went to someone who could grow it for a long time to come, and protect it too. I wonder if lucas was the one who went to disney to offer it up.
I also wonder if disney will do anything with any of the other lucasarts IP like day of the tentacle, full throttle, grim fandango... and of course xwing/tie fighter. |

I know it's too much to ask, but really what's the chances of EP7 actually being about Thrawn? O M G. If it were! That trilogy were THE BEST star wars books ever written. The story was incredible. That trilogy got me into buying basically ever star wars book that ever came out... until the last few years when they started killing off major characters, blowing up the galaxy, having his kids turn dark and kill each other, etc. |

BTW, looks like front page is down except for the 1 entry, but its still possible to click on one's name and find threads posted in to see if they've been updated.
On a side note, is there an easier way to see what threads have new posts in them? A way that doesn't involve me getting lots of email? |

This sale actually pisses me off. A day before it I bought The Walking Dead for €25,- instead of €15,-.
Goddamnit. Un-fuckin'-fair. Which is one reason to not buy steam stuff when its not on sale generally speaking. |

Any feedback on lone survivor?
I have many of the titles I'm already interested in that are on sale, but thats one I don't have.
I'm still waiting for $5 or so on rage.
Blue,
Just a tad more than 80 things on sale. More like 200 
http://store.steampowered.com/search/?specials=1
Steam caps out at 100 on the front page under specials tab, more of their unpolished UI (protip for valve, hire a UI specialist who will enjoy and find interesting working on polishing the UI, and keep his wheeled desk near the UI code).

These are NOT stretch goals. This is a bit of an abuse of kickstarter. Stretch goals are things that are unable to be implemented due to time or finance constraints, that extra money will actually allow. Not cheap, unlocked, dlc that everyone gets if they raise some arbitrary amount of extra money. Some of the overall stretch goals are more reasonable. Stretch goals are anything that a KS drive defines them to be. There's no official definition of them.
The ONLY purpose behind them is to increase donations, usually after a goal has been reached. You can bet that some KS have the stretch goals all laid out ahead of time, and it wouldn't surprise me if some of them on some KS are obtainable at the minimum goal and are held back to be goals to encourage more pledges.
KS backers should use their heads about KS drives and the goals (stretch or otherwise) to help discern whether a project is worth backing, is likely to deliver, etc.
In this specific case, sure, I agree that the repair bot is a silly stretch goal, something thats able to be produced even at minimum funding. But if it accomplishes its one and ONLY goal (of increasing pledges) then its done its job. Even if it doesn't fit an idealistic view of what a stretch goal should be
Also, keep in mind that this KS was whipped up in a hurry in a few days, so thats why its a bit disorganized.

I predict lots of features being cut "due to technical limitations".
first up on the chopping block will be mod support, most likely. I doubt many will be cut since they have something like $20m in private funding.
BUT, I agree that mod support might be cut. Because that could screw up their microtransaction plans. Especially if the private funding they are likely beholden to demands it be removed. |

Also, remember, from previous comments it sounds like he's raised up to $20m of private funding already (to which he's probably beholden in some way, hence the MMO/F2P elements I'm guessing). So its not just ks funding and website funding, its also a 3rd category of private funding.
Optional Nickname! wrote on Oct 27, 2012, 13:42:
In my not-so-humble-opinion, an established professional like Chris Roberts should have had a much better plan and execution for disseminating the game's elements long before he started fundraising. A confusing lack of planning considering the amount of work that has already been done on Star Citizen. Except this was a spur of the moment thing, from all the evidence. Thats why this looks unorganized. Remember how the webpage said he wasn't going to do kickstarter since he wanted to grow the community his way? A few days later he's on KS. So I think this is a KS thrown together in a few days, instead of prepping and polishing a KS for weeks or months and getting all the behind the scenes and stretch goals prepped, and watching how successful kickstarter go (they usually join the paypal offsite funding to the KS goals). |

Unfortunately, it absolutely will not play under Win 7 or on modern video cards. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j1ByMSRka8
That has some info that says how to run it on vista/win 7. I haven't tried it, but it sounds like it would work, I remember the cardid file for the graphics cards.
Also, as I recall, muckyfoot released some extra files for it before they died, I can't recall what they were, extra scenarios? Mods? I dunno. |

Sweet! I didn't notice that. In the past, I noticed most of them end on Sunday at 1 PM PT.  I looked for you in the bluesnews steam group and didn't see you. Was going to add you and see if you wanted some help for your first campaign, since I have a little time. |

I remember previous L4D games years ago, but I don't remember if it was the second one or not. Is this one worth playing? I enjoyed the free weekend ones. Are they pretty much the same? Second one is quite fun. Its best if you can play with friends on one team at least (the other team you are stomping). If you can catch me online, I can go through a quick campaign and show you the ropes if you want (that goes for anyone on blues). Ah OK. I don't know if I will have time to play this. I assume free weekend ends on Sunday at 1:00 PM PDT. Why does Steam always end their dang free weekend at 1:00 PM PT anyways? There are still 11/eleven hours left in a weekend based on pacific time zone! So lame. Thats possibly dictated by the publisher.
Because in this case, if you examine the graphic advertising it, you can see it says it says until monday 10am pdt |

I like the progression, I also like that if someone hates advantages like that they can disable them. In other words I like that they gave the option of turning them off.
I play with them on, but I just like the idea that I could turn them off if I ever wanted to. |

Anyone else notice that CoD BL2 (call of doody: big log 2) season pass is FIFTY freaking bucks? Before the game comes out they are pimping it. I wonder if they will bother to make even 1 new map per pack this time around.
