I helped Birdeye Send a noteboard - 21/02/2012 06:13:31 AM
and there are still 40 hours to go if anyone out there wants to donate i thought the original goal of $57k was optimistic, but this has gone far beyond what anyone could have expected. check it out at the link below...


My wife and I have been watching this since it was around $300,000 or so pledged. We signed on when he brought out the coloring books. Then we upped our pledge when the OotS board game bonus cards were offered. We love playing the game, although it does take a really long time.

It is really amazing watching how fast the numbers grow, both the amount of money and the number of backers. I suspect the latest surge is due to all the people who were waiting to see what other things he would add to the offerings, but are now putting in their pledges before time is up.

PBS drives make sense as they are tax deductible moondog - 20/02/2012 03:01:22 PM 1097 Views
The real moral here may be that PBS should offer greater icentives. Joel - 20/02/2012 09:03:13 PM 1095 Views
I am unsure whether to be impressed or appalled. Joel - 20/02/2012 07:41:31 AM 1126 Views
The actors of Friends were making 1 million per episode in season 9 and 10 Roland00 - 20/02/2012 02:41:24 PM 1131 Views
Yeah, but they were not being paid by their (probably far less numerous) viewers. Joel - 20/02/2012 08:26:16 PM 1090 Views
I really wish I had $300 to spare. Kronin al'Sulc - 21/02/2012 06:23:07 PM 1151 Views

Cool then. Joel - 20/02/2012 08:32:37 PM 1096 Views
Its like the Double Fine story from a few days days ago Stephen - 20/02/2012 05:59:31 PM 1249 Views
That is very interesting in the context of the recent and ongoing piracy debates. Joel - 20/02/2012 08:47:35 PM 1142 Views
you just described the steam/valve business model moondog - 21/02/2012 06:24:01 AM 1119 Views
It sounds like it would be a good model even without piracy. Joel - 21/02/2012 04:15:21 PM 1020 Views
except double fine is more of a technical project than a creative one moondog - 21/02/2012 06:22:32 AM 1069 Views
Not really- the reason people kickstarted Double Fine is BECAUSE of the creative part beetnemesis - 21/02/2012 03:51:17 PM 1117 Views
my point is that it appeals to the tech crowd, which is typically better when it comes to $$$ moondog - 22/02/2012 03:06:13 AM 1019 Views
Ahhh. Yes, sorry, I misunderstood. beetnemesis - 22/02/2012 03:33:36 AM 955 Views
