I ordered 3 games this morning, 1 was listed as out of stock but ordered it anyway. Got emails this arvo saying they were all ready to pick up, and just got back from walking over and grabbing them.
Fucking Chadstone. I've never had a good experience at that store.

What is you opinion of Day of the Tentacle?
Holy shit. I was going to suggest that someone do exactly that. Great job.
If you want to make omelettes, you have to break a few eggs. In which case break open some creme eggs and fry them up with bacon. Then post results.
Great game!

Mid, its filled with sugary caramel stuff, not custard, so don't worry. More like a Caramello Koala than anything else, but a bit different.
LOL I didn't even notice the faces until it got quoted. Like that picture where everything is snoop dogg.

Its so obvious now...
I've never tried those actually. I keep forgetting to buy them when I go to the shops.

Absolutely, and that is why developers aren't telling publishers to fuck off and running to Kickstarter. Anything of a biggish budget and with a team of people that may find it hard to get the hypetrain moving will struggle to get the money they need to make a game without also selling their souls to the publisher man.
My favourite thing in the world at the moment is BandCamp because of how it easy it is for bands to give a direct line to their consumers and cuts out a hell of a lot of red tape that has polluted the industry for way too long. I downloaded (illegally) this bands album, I then googled their stuff and found their BandCamp and within 3 minutes had ordered a T-Shirt and physical copy of their album as well as being emailed a high quality digital copy. All because I liked what I heard and was given a nice big BUY NOW button in front of me at a worthwhile price. Unfortunately video games cost a LOT of money, time and manpower to make so the Kickstarter program is the closest a lot of mid-sized developers will get to that system.
I can guess who won't be going to uni tomorrow because they have a stomach acheSo, guess who has 50 creme eggs.
I was hoping that would get a positive comment out of you! If you hated DotT I would have recommended a weekend retreat in the wilderness with a generator, a SNES and 20 of the best games of all time. Life is good!
Nothing tastes better than runny egg yoke on bacon.

hey! I'll be good. I'm limiting myself to one a day, or less... maybe. Don't want to be getting acne.
Truth. especially if hashbrowns are also involved.
YES. Just came back from full English breakfast. Thinking bout same again for lunch.
In place of a hangover, I have this mad hunger.

Are we posting pictures of us with our dinner now? I'm too late to post the Lite n Easy chilli con carne I just inhaled, so I'll just post a pic of me chillaxing on the couch under a pink blanket.
Unfortunately, my hair isn't as silky as Shan's.

Looks like a hairy burnt hand rather than a blankie.
Wall of pictures looks very intriguing though. If I ever turn up at your house expect me to inspect every single one while slightly nodding my head and murmuring to myself.

Those are the risks you take when deciding to fund something. However, I believe you can measure this risk and have a good idea of the likelihood of them meeting their promises by doing things such as looking into the history of the people involved and watching the videos/reading the text on the Kickstarter page.
Also, a lot of Kickstarters are put up after a portion of the work on the project has already been done so you can see the work in progress. This has been the case with a few of the games I've backed, they already have some art/design and brief gameplay videos. It's already been said, but they also often offer other incentives such as T-shirts, posters and so on, so even if they fail to deliver on the game you'll still get something out of it.
Just take a look at the Banner Saga page. Just from reading the text, watching the video and seeing the amount of effort they've put into it so far, you can tell they are really enthusiastic about it and an interesting game is likely to result from it. A Kickstarter page for something like the Phantom console might look very different, and would probably be much less likely to receive funding.
In general, I think the amount of people not delivering on promises after receiving funding is quite low on Kickstarter. I believe it's more likely for them to use the money that all these people with expectations have given them to produce a better product, rather than just lose interest after being funded. Have a little faith in people.
In lieu of such, a picture of me digesting breakfast and still waking up.

Do what I did when I felt the same way: do a 365 day project where you take one self portrait a day and upload it. By the end you might hate the photos, but you won't have a problem being in them.

Besides, if you take enough portraits, you'll end up not looking terrible in at least a few.
Unless you never smile or change your pose.

Don't worry, you'll feel better about yourself after this.
Here's a cheesy as hell photo of me after having a traditional barbecue.
My mate took the photo and he is even worse at photography than I am, so I set up the shot for him. He missed the focus on the eyes though, which is never good.

Shaneus! New Alex Metric EP is sooooooooooo good (in case you didn't get my tweet yet).
Nobody posted about GAME Aus yet? From the good Kotaku.
This quote is also what I was talking about, a lot more stores were shut in our region than just the 2 in Geelong.

Those be farmers hands.
What is it with old codgers in WA and thinly veiled racism? Someone then just accosted me about laundromat lights not working and "how Ceduna is nice and so are the aborigines but don't talk to them just leave them alone".
