Erik Wolpaw's writing was what made Portal great and it's what makes Psychonauts great.
Haha, Yea that was me. Overclockers can be great but sometimes you just don't get any responses. Besides this place is more inmate!
Would gumtree be the best option after ebay?
Our dollar is Shit tier =(. Hopefully it doesn't drop too much before oculus takes my money.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
I never thought about this. It looks like we'd save a lot of money, but how long does it take to get from Melbourne to the Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles? Like 4 hours driving?
Might be a bit more, but it's a really nice part. The first 45min from Melbourne to Geelong might drag, but after that it's a beautiful long windy road.

After Broken Age, Massive Chalice & Spacebase I'll wait until Psychonauts 2 releases before I decide how to spend money on it.

Just Cause 3. Do it.
I've noticed people only really reply to price checks when they're interested in the item themselves lol.
I see it as a tradeoff on gumtree/fb groups, you'll probably get people who dick you around with not showing up and whatnot but on ebay you've got to deal with their and paypal's fees.
I backed it when it first started and I haven't played 1 either, but I just want more 3D platformers.
I also decided to "slacker back" A Hat in Time too a few days ago. It feels like a mix between Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine (I upgraded to beta access).
How about we give the D&D 5th Edition strarter pack a go? Who else would be interested?
Also, posting this because Young Cam (I think due to a lack of actual stunts this is a more appropriate moniker than Stunt Cam) is a slack bastard, I am posting this that he just emailed to me to post:

this is fucking GOLD
Did he have an Essendon jersey on?
I found a thread on homeone with people quoting prices mostly in the $60s per meter for Colorbond fencing. http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=56186
Poor Arnie looks so confused
There were many moments of confusion and bad following of Lego instructions by all involved
Don't do it, don't succumb to crowd funding! Wait until the game releases so you know what you are getting!! I've been burned recently!! VALIDATE ME.
This guy knows whats up.
Do it on PC. So much fun with explosions.

Xenonauts and Pillars of Eternity both turned out well. I'm 2 for 2.

I'm still waiting for 90s Arcade Racer to come out.
Been much more successful with game dev kickstarters like spriter

Hat in Time looks like it could be fantastic, totally forgot to back it back in the day.
Wow that's insane, we are around $120 a metre for replacement colorbond with a redgum plinth!

Kickstarter was worth it to me purely for the Turrican Soundtrack Anthology.
I've had some great success with Kickstarters actually delivering (FTL, Galcon 2, Lily Looking Through, Sir You Are Being Hunted, Massive Chalice, Satellite Reign, Rimworld, Sentris, DFA and the non-video game ones Veronica Mars, Exploding Kittens, Drawings, Light Table, Micro Python and The WIPy) with some still in active development, most playable right now, and looking great (Defect, Superhot, Timber and Stone, Stonehearth, TUG, Shroud of the Avatar, Maia, Castle Story, Star Command, Everspace) and only a couple looking potentially dodgy (Limit Theory dev had a breakdown but is back on the case and Aurion seems to be quite worryingly quiet). I'm also very much looking forward to Scythe.
And then there's Godus, which kinda delivered. And then delivered again. And then, fuck, I have no idea what they're doing.

Wait, Poker Smash didn't? I got a T-shirt and a copy of Poker Smash in my Steam library, my memory is fuzzy about what the campaign was for.
I've backed 101 projects on Kickstarter and of those, I've got about 43 'finished' items. A quick glance through the projects I've backed shows me there's like 20-30 of them that are still in development, and that's fine. It takes a long time to make things! There's only 3 or 4 that have run really over their deadlines, and considering I never have time to play stuff these days I'm not too bothered. I'm out a couple of bucks and someone got a chance to prove if they could make something. That's not bad.

I plan on Kickstarter being a not-insignificant source of income in 2016 so I'd like to think people aren't burning out on the service.
I've only ever backed one thing, and that was:

I had meant to back the Veronica Mars movie but I forgot to

I backed that Zach Braff movie, it turned out pretty decent!
The fuck, you got Poker Smash in your Steam library?!? I got a note from the Drew and a keyring, but that was literally it. I almost don't believe you about the Steam thing, unless you bought it via other means as well (I think it could be bought from their website). Because there's nothing on the KS page at all about Steam keys, and devs usually update their projects when that happens.

I bought some new games at EB Games today. One is sealed, the other has a sticker on the front of the disc. I take it this is par for the course for EB Games.
And regarding Kickstarter failures: I backed Soul Saga and Project Phoenix. Life lessons were learned.
Backed and got: Turrican Soundtrack Anthology, Among the Sleep, Neverending Nightmares, Stasis, Chris Huelsbeck Piano Collection
Backed and waiting: Ghost Song, Hyper Light Drifter, Heart Forth Alicia, Shenmue 3, Yooka-Laylee, Divinity: OS 2 (I got the enhanced edition of the first), Battletech

Ouya brought enough shame to taint all of kickstarter for me.
Can't complain too much about the other ones, apart from grim dawn which I presume is never going out of early access.
Have any of you ever sent musical instruments to the other side of the world? I left behind 2 bass guitars which are very precious to me but I wouldn't even know where to begin to get them shipped to Australia. Do these things cost a fortune?

All positive experiences so far.
Edit: Actually, I don't think the LA Game Space ever got properly setup. It just sort of fell apart. So I guess that's a failure.

I've been backing a bunch of Minecraft mod creators on there for over a year now. Some of them seem encouraged by it.So guys what do you think about Patreon
Yeah, even getting a handful of Patreon backers is a huge help. It's more of a morale thing than a monetary thing, really. I know when I'm neck deep on a page and there's no end in sight, just posting a Work In Progress update to my Patreon backers and getting feedback gives such a boost.
