Oh hey, slightly mocking interview with the Lore guy.
Hilarity.

[Wayward Device]

My god, the best bit of that (and it was hard to decide) has to be the "actual in-game screenshot" image.

EDIT: Although perhaps "There’s only 99999 of the $600 tier rewards left, so order soon!" deserves a worthy second place.

[nenjin]

Oh lawd.

The things about that make me cringe are so numerous. Is it the blatantly terrible spelling? Is it the use of copyrighted works? Is it the total disconnect between the soundtrack they don't own and the style of the game they're presenting? Is it the gadawful modeling work? The bizarre Goblin sidekick that looks like he wants to sex0rz you? The awful framerates on a what is obviously a low-res product? The fact he constantly references things with nostalgia value, making the bold claim of "Dark Souls, Diablo 2 ect....all in one!" Or the fact he's channeling Bucky in saying "Geez people are so narrow minded if they don't find my ideas awesome."

: If Columbus was alive i feel with his passion if you believed he could do it nothing could stop him people told him and told him he was going to die if he set sail.
Noah made a ark people try to kill him and his family because they didn’t understand and out of fear. I by no mean’s feel i’m Noah are Columbus i’m a gamer who love video games and hate what they because so i’m trying to make a different’s and show people you dont need millions to make a great game are that you have to make a 2D games.

This guy needs to write a biography about Columbus. I would totally buy it.

[Draco18s]

Is the blatantly terrible spelling?

No, the guy simply doesn't give half-a-shit (much less two shits) about grammar/spelling because he thinks it's not necessary to produce a good game.

Can't wait for him to get to the in-game text.

I can see it now.

trying to make a different's: the life of Columbus

[SealyStar]

Oh my God. Is this "Lore" thing serious or just an elaborate hoax? It seems too perfectly stupid even for the depths of Kickstarter.

And what the hell was with the Japanese acoustic rock (at least that's what it sounded like) in the background of the video?

Wait wait wait... I think I expressed why his view of Columbus was fundementally wrong but Noah too?

No one tried to kill Noah. At least to my knowledge and if they did they probably could have.

I think someone may have to help the person making Lore. Obviously people are telling him he is going to die as well as trying to kill him AND his family. It is the only logical explanation.

Well you try and get a tiger on a boat using only technology available in BC and see how long it takes for something to try and kill oyu.

[Darvi]

Should be easy.

>Get spears
>Throw spears at tiger until it dies (preferrably from a tree or something)
>Haul the corpse onto the boat.
>???
>Profit!

[Neonivek]

Where is the misunderstanding in that? Were they fake tigers?

[penguinofhonor]

Do you remember the days of old when games were hard and made you think. This game is Dark Souls, Diablo 2 and Minecraft all in one.

oh my god I didn't actually read the lore thing yet

A successfully funded project (with working prototypes) to make a universal charger/portable backup power for various mobile devices, has decided to refund all the backers after Apple refused to license their iphone5 power connector. Apple just won't license their connector to anything that could work with other devices, including slightly older Apple products.

I’ll never forget the moment when our campaign passed the $50,000 goal and our dream of powering dying batteries became tangible. Our promise was simple: provide a portable charger that was capable of powering ALL of your devices including the anticipated iPhone 5, which at the time, had not been released.

When Apple officially announced the move to Lightning we determined the best course of action was to incorporate two Lightning chargers, and two 30-pins (along with the four micro-USB’s). After applying to Apple (which is now required for Lightning), we learned that they are no longer willing to approve a product that uses the Lightning charger alongside any other charger (including their own 30-pin – seriously). Just like that, POP could no longer fulfill its true promise.

[Draco18s]

Wow.

[lordcooper]

I... don't get why apple would do that. They maybe lose a few sales due to not selling new chargers, and that's it.

Answered yourself there really.
