    Why not pay through PayPal using a credit card?

    My PayPal account is borked, I can't access it for some reason and their customer support hasn't exactly been helpful either.

    Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.

    By the way, how would Rorus check if people donated? I don't see how PayPal, Child's Play or Amazon is connected to anyone's forum account here.

    Is Rorus' challenge target pooled in with anoffdays? So we only really have one target? If so, put me down for $200. Won't be able to pay til Saturday, provided I get my full pay from work and not get cheated again :/

    I have played Bad Rats for 18 minutes, and it poisoned my soul. I got to either the second or third level before I just hit a literal brick wall. "So. This goes here, and that hits this and...what!"

    The physics being schizoid are perhaps one of the reasons why, but I've also been told that I'm thinking too much and you basically just need to turn your brain off and click stuff. It's a puzzle game you lose by thinking too much. This, my friends, is the apocalypse.

    Donation's aren't supposed to go out until he actually finishes the game, I thought?


    Well that was the plan yes and as far as I know still is. I guess Gear just really wanted to donate in excitement.

    I wasn't really paying attention to when we were supposed to donate. I guess it doesn't really matter, @anoffday has no choice now.

    No online multiplay, not even with hamachi trickery last I heard. Did they patch in internet playability?

    Hey so for using a Xbox 360 controller on my PC (and Steam) am I better off getting a knockoff Wireless receiver to use my wireless 360 controller (they don't sell the official MS ones anymore) or just a wired 360 controller? I'm kinda wondering how iffy the wireless receiver will be considering I'm already using a wireless mouse and keyboard which could cause possible interference?

    Donating ~$700 to sick kids on Christmas all because of a dumb bet on whether or not a piece of vaporware would ever get released? I love this forum.

    Shit, If it hits $1,500 I'll LP Bad Rats and I'll even enjoy it.

  • rikdalyrikdaly Registered User regular
    you're probably better off with a wired controller, from what I've heard not all games work with the wireless one for some reason

    steam_sig.png
  • captainkcaptaink TexasRegistered User regular
    I'm not sure what the price difference is, but a wired controller is 100% going to work. Wireless receiver I haven't heard much on, good or bad.

  • SumanaiSumanai muh PTRegistered User regular
    I'm pretty broke and feel awful that I can't contribute to the donation so I think I'll be playing Bad Rats myself in penance. I can't promise that I'll finish it but I'll try it for as long as I can. I also felt a little guilty for helping bring this upon @anoffday but you guys are really making it all worth it. Steam thread at its best! :)

    I am disturbed at the turn this has taken to make more people PLAY Bad Rats instead of just INFLICT it upon others...

    That said $20 from me to help make this LP (and hopefully an even darker one) happen.

    I use a knockoff for my wireless 360 controller, and haven't had any issues with my wireless keyboard and mouse. I did have a gigantic pain in the butt getting the dongle installed, but haven't had any issues with it since then.

    I'm in for 20 as well, but I want to hear REAL laughter while you enjoy your Bad Rats playthrough. Not just that "I'm going crazy" kind of laughing either!

    Postal 3 is perfect. No only is the content terrible but I believe the game is technically a bit of a mess too - something it has in common with Bad Rats. Duke Nukem actually had some redeeming values and areas of pretty fun gameplay (I loved zipping around in the little RC car). Alternatively Revelations 2012.

    Yeah, Duke Nukem wasn't that bad. I played it all. It just overstays its welcome way too much.

    Revelations 2012 necessitates a multiplayer LP :P

    But Postal 3? That sounds so disgustingly perfect...

    That can only mean that you need to do a LP of Revelations 2012 following the Bad Rats one to avoid it!

    Just caught up with the thread.

    Guys, I've been posting on PA for 9 years and this particular thread today not only the best one I've EVER been a part of, but it may be the single coolest thing I've ever seen on the Internet.

    We went from $50 to almost $1,000 in worlwide donations over the span of a work day. That is incredible. And all so we can watch a stranger play Bad Rats. I hope once this is all said and done a mod or someone can send a memo to the PA staff and share this tale. Who knows, maybe we can get Jerry and Mike to do their own LP for another charity drive?
