    While the salad crisper functionality is funny, I love that second panel is still actually the first panel.

    Why would anyone buy that crisper? It's called Microsoft, not Microcrisp.

  • jackaljackal Fuck Yes. That is an orderly anal warehouse. Registered User regular
    I'm trying to figure out what MS is bringing to the table that Acer hasn't already announced. The Iconia W700 looks shit hot. Maybe it is a crisper drawer.

    FOR THE LOVE OF GOD COULD YOU ANNOUNCE AWESOME KICKSTARTERS BEFORE THEY HAVE LESS THAN 2 HOURS LEFT?!

    I would totally have donated to both this and Ground Floor, both of which I found out about because of penny arcade, but both of them were closed by the time I read about them here. I usually only check the news when a new comic goes up, and I don't browse kickstarter because most of the stuff sucks, but if you're going to show off things please do it with enough time for people to get in.

  • The Good Doctor TranThe Good Doctor Tran Registered User regular
    yea, I got in On the Ground Floor (sunglasses) but missed this which makes me a sad panda. Tycho needs a "fund this kickstarter" twitter feed or something.

    I <3 my Zune HD and only gave it to my wife when my Windows phone had Zune built in. I'm actually glad that they're junking the silly branding and using the slightly less silly "Xbox Live music". Once I started using it, I realized I would never buy a digital copy of a song ever again. (Although now that I think about, this is probably what the music industry hates.) I sometimes buy a CD of something I know I want to keep forever, but for the most part the new concept of leasing music is quite liberating: a) I can almost always hear what I want when I want (there are a few stodgy holdouts who just won't participate), b) my music collection is always with me without needing hard copies of anything, c) I never have to worry about losing anything ( how many iPod users have accidentally wiped their content and didn't have backups?), and d) as soon as I get tired of something, I can listen to something else without paying anything more.

    For $9/mo I have an nearly inexhaustible supply of music. It's like Netflix for your ears, but unlike Netflix you get all the latest music on release day. Tuesdays are magical!

    I really just don't understand why people keep paying Apple for music. I can only blame Microsoft once again for another colossal marketing failure.

    You guys can still just buy the kickstarted games when they're out?

    What is this I don't even.
  • jackaljackal Fuck Yes. That is an orderly anal warehouse. Registered User regular
    Apparently the "mystery" part of the mystery press conference is, "where is Microsoft?"

    I plan to, but there are some great things that come with the kickstarter packages. Like with this last one, $50 would have gotten a lot of things including the 5-6 player expansion, and $100 would get you a collectible version. A lot of the things you won't be able to buy even after the products release.

    In the case of Ground Floor, you get the final game a month early as well as all it's awesome bonuses.

    edit: I probably am still going to buy them, but I'm upset that I don't have a chance to put in money for the extra bonuses.

    Jules from Break From Reality here. Holy silly geese, we were not expecting that.

    To those who backed us, THANK YOU!
    To those who didn't but wanted to, we love you too. Working on an online store now so we can take pre-orders and eventually direct orders. The game will be distributed internationally to game shops as well, so plenty of opportunities to get in on the fun. And if you're coming to PAX, we will have a few copies available at Tabletop Freeplay!

    Watching the numbers this morning, I actually forgot to eat breakfast. So much incredible support. Thank you all, really. This is a dream come true.

    I think it's fantastic you guys got funded so well and so quickly. I can't wait to check out Disaster Looms.

    Me. I bought the Zune and the Lumia 900, and both are incredible. I say are because I still use my Zune in my car to play music.

    Saw the coverage of the press conference. All I can say is DAT TABLET.

    Not sure about Windows 8 yet, but I love that hardware. For the record I am currently running the preview version of Win8 on my computer, so I do have a lot of good things to say about it, but almost just as many bad things.

    I bought a Zune because I wanted something to hold all my music, some 70 or 80 gigs worth, which basically required a hard-disk-based device. At the time, there were two games in town: the Ipod and the Zune. I don't want anything to do with Itunes, think the clickwheel is one of the most awful input mechanisms ever devised, and I could get a Zune at a discount, so I got a Zune.

    If the soft keyboard works half as well as it looks, consider me interested. I've already got an iPhone for apps, but I don't like using it to browse the web, the vendor lock in, or creating a personalized space (beyond setting a background).

    And here in the future, we can't get 2015!Gabe to shut up about the Surface. Evidently that second panel was less than prophetic.
