Oh man, tasty KS fail drama here: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/07/23/areal-kickstarter-suspended-stalker-spirital-successor/#more-222199

S.T.A.L.K.E.R is becoming one of those titles where it seems like everyone has some claim to fame with it. I've lost track of the number of STALKER-inspired games I've heard about since GSC closed.

Well, so they have someone who is a worse PR manager then Chucklefish... which is impressive.

They should have a kickstarter for non-perishable food. I'd say jerky but some people oppose eating animals despite how delicious they can be.

It would be an interesting time for a STALKER game too, being set in Ukraine...

There's been at least one jerky kickstarter already, actually. Vegetarians couldn't stop it.

[Neonivek]

Well if you eat an animal that died of natural causes, it is vegetarian.

If it was a wild animal that died of natural causes, it is vegan.

[penguinofhonor]

I think that's something that vegetarians have different opinions on.

It is something most if not all vegetarians don't have a real opinion on... because it is a REALLY bad idea to eat an animal that died of natural causes.

Have you folks gotten into the immense crashing and burning that happened from that Yogventures kickstarter?
Because if not, it's a pretty beautiful mess.

You just aren't cooking it right, man. The diseases add more flavor.

I predicted it as soon as I saw the Kickstarter, if that's what you mean (although pretty much everyone did).

[SomeStupidGuy]

Well, as reasonable as it is to assume complete and utter failure from it(I certainly did), I meant how their artist left after working for two weeks. With $35k.
The devs have pretty much ended up passing all their art assets and such to the yogscast. And may file for bankruptcy.
Last I checked the yogs-whatever dudes were throwing out excuses and consolation steam codes for some indie game at the backers.
It's pretty amusing. I'd feel bad for the dudes(what with the bankruptcy), except they were claiming that they could make a minecraft(EXCEPT BETTER!) with $150,000. And that's just asking for some hubris to get all up in your face.

YogsAdveture game...

I remember that. It sounded like a piece of shit pipe dream.

Beyond all the super wai mundo kool feature they were going to add, the thing that actually bugged me was this:

Why werent they adding any sort of tool set within the game for Machinma? You know the thing that these hapless brits amazingly make a living off of?

John Stewart announced a kickstarter to buy CNN for 10 billion dollars. I'd suggest he should just ask how much Fareed Zakaria would cost.

Whoa, Green Lantern made a kickstarter? Ah, you meant Jon Stewart. Still pretty cool.

It's not an actual kickstarter, it's a parody one with its own website that doesn't actually let you donate. http://www.letsbuycnn.com/

Aren't parodies supposed to be...I dunno, humorous? Funny? At the very least capable of eliciting some minor amount of amusement?

The bits in the description are... mildly amusing I guess? He announced it on his show so maybe the bulk of funny is there?
