I really like Kow Otani's style. I was surprised to hear his stuff in this game, really. but it's amazing! So varied, too.
I don't know what this is because I cannot play it at work but based on the preview frame...
21st, do you have something to tell us?
About what? i am puzzled here. i linked a song from a video game i'm playing these days, composed by Kow Otani.
It's all animu with slender, shirtless men in flamboyant costumes.

No they don't wait until the product is finished to get the money. They get the money as soon as the Kickstarter is successful.
Right now if you tried to get a lot of money and didn't have anything to entice people like prototypes or schematics you won't be funded. If you could fake that in order to get more money you might be able to get it.
Then when you don't deliver you get arrested like every other time you steal money from people through a service that has records of your financial information.
That part of the game had an excellently structured gag.
Which of the many excellently structured gags are you thinking of?
Also, did you go back when Wheatley asks you to come back? God my sides hurt so much from laughing when I did.
I refering to:
GLaDOS: Well, this is the part where he kills us.
Wheatley: Hello! This is the part where I kill you!
CHAPTER 9: THE PART WHERE HE KILLS YOU
Achievement Unlocked: The Part Where He Kills You
Description: This is that part.
what stops a person from promising to do something on kickstarter
and then not doing it and taking all the money
I think the way it works is that money only changes hands after the product is released?
So like, maybe the start up company can borrow against the money they have raised in the kickstarter but, until they release the product, they don't actually get the money from kickstarter.
Does that make sense?
Nope, once they exceed their goal and the time ends, everybody pays up.
It's inevitable that there will be a major shitstorm at some point when a major project doesn't deliver (it's happened for a least one small project that I'm familiar with).
Oh, well that's dumb. I wouldn't do it like that.

This tidbit from the World War 2 Tweets accounts sounds like something out of a Tolkein novel
King Haakon plans to leave Elverum, to protect civilians: "I cannot bear to watch children crouching in the snow as bullets mow down trees."
Norwegian names are silly, is what I am saying here
f u
nothing but the truth
the next tweet could be "Saruman commands his legion of Uruk-hai to follow King Haakon; "He shall not reach Gondor," says white-clad leader" and it would make perfect sense

Eh, i guess it's basically an animu reimagining of the Ieyasu tokugawa military campaign, but i can deal with it. i'm comfortable enough to play animu sometimes.

Having to borrow money after raising funds you can't touch would be an enormous pain in the ass and negate the benefits of Kickstarter.

if i were designing the business model, I'd do it how winky suggested
the way it's set up currently it seems like it's just asking for a royal fuckup
screwups are manageable as long as the projects are cheap - some project for a few grand won't even go to Real Claims Court
but like a project for 2, 3, 4 million bucks? if something like that goes tits up, and KS isn't on it like a bonnet, they are screwed. the negative publicity alone will do them in.

All you need to know about Sengoku Basara is that his horse is a motorcycle:
I blipped through me1 pretty quickly so I am savoring me2 in more detail. The quantity of things I've missed on two playthroughs even in the early stages of the game! Oh man.
Shepard is sauntering around the Citadel and Omega with Garrus and Kasumi, listening to the news reports, listening in on all the little random conversations, noticing the level design and little touches. Doing missions at a more leisurely pace and making sure to do all the conversations possible with crew.
There are a lot of things I like about me3 but the ambiance of me2 wins by a mile for me. I really think surface texture is for mass effect what sound design was for star wars -- it is absolutely the anchor for the world's identity. The sexed-up, mercantilistic vibe works well because your eye is always being pulled over everyone's bodies by the color layouts and lots of linear, vertical patterns on the clothing and suits. Compared to the smoother classic sci fi paperback feel in me1, your corneas are bouncing over these shiny hexagons and matte ribbed rubbery joints and armor plates wrapped around everyone's bodies.
I still love the classic feel of me1 but it's hard for me to get super fired up about the end of the world feel in me3. The world is always ending in video games. They created a world that would actually suck to lose which is where most apocalyptica skips ahead and goes straight to "big scale of the spectacle" mode.
But it lacks the whole invitation to go bad cop and rip around the galaxy in the Normandy II, which was consciously designed to look more like a muscle car than the Normandy I.
Also, in actually talking to Kelly Chambers rather than mostly ignoring her, the character seems more logical than a sexpot punchline. Why don't the Council or the Alliance put a psychologist on a ship like this? You need Chakwas to handle physical ailments. You need engineers and technicians to keep the ship running. You're throwing a Multi-species crew together on a high-stakes mission and of course you want someone whose job is to keep tabs on everyone's emotional well-being. Kelly is awesome and she has a chipper attitude in the face of adversity.

Calibre is wonderful compared to that. I load it, put books on my eReader and then close it. It takes under 5minutes. I've had an issue with format converting once.
On the otherhand, the Sony software can take a solid two hours of fucking about just to get loaded. And then it'll go iTunes on your books.
