Unofficial Tex Murphy

Seriously, Keep Calm and Carry on...
Here's a vintage take on the theme....

I agree Mac, momentum shifts are everything. A well place bump can get the ball rolling, so is positive energy. I believe it.

The clip is a joke Jane, a joke.

Ah, Airplane, you were the best. Nowadays you literally could not do that joke in a movie.

Really though, earlier on I was just being cautious, but now that we're in single digits my nervousness is starting to seem legit, which only makes me more nervous.

Wait. What's in single digits? What in heaven's name is there to worry about at this point?

I think she's referring to days remaining in the campaign.

But, I think we're on track for success.

The amount of days left.

Oh. :yawn: Wake me up again when the hours are in single digits.

I am not too worried either.

Considering they are taking out banners on gaming sites and going to E3?

It seems impossible to not reach the goal.

Not to mention, they are posting the stretch goals today, I think.
That will give a huge push, especially if they are really good and encourage some people to up their pledges.

I have a prescription for your nerves, jane. Go into the kickstarter or kicktraq archives and look through the closed projects. Fine one project, ever, in the site's history with more than 500 backers and more than 70% funding that has failed. Do this for as long as it takes to soothe yourself, because I assure you, it has never happened. In the tens of thousands of projects ever on kickstarter.

Tex will not be the first.

ROTFL guys!!

Oh, and Joel. I'm going to kill you for mentioning "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" which has been stuck in my head all day.

Well... not quite. In February I had never heard of Kickstarter. Now it's well-known. This new fame may have changed how Kickstarter works, and past successes of other projects might not indicate anything anymore as a result, perhaps. Maybe a Kickstarter crash or backlash is on the cards?

I guess the prescription I really need is a Celexa refill!

Oh, wait... that's actually true. I haven't had the time to go get it.

So expect more of this:

I think there is a slowdown in the works for Kickstarter in general coming, but I think Tex will be okay.

And we have hit our daily quota people! Everything else today is just pocket money.

There is a slowdown already, at least compared to a couple months ago (though much bigger than pre-Double Fine of course), but that doesn't seem to really effect the patterns of fundraising too much. Maybe if this launched when Wasteland 2 did, it would have made twice as much, but its pattern has still been pretty typical.

85%%%%%%%%!!!!!!!!!!!

And with the new Bonus kick in money, it's time for you guys that were waiting for the last minute to bump your pledges to do it NOW!!!!!

86? Already?
