    Veronica Mars is actually a really good show. Much better than the premise (high school girl detective) would lead you to believe. The creator/showrunner is the same guy who did Party Down, which is genuinely excellent.

    tl;dr

    Only skimmed over that suggestion. Is the guy fishing for a job as an AI expert?

    That was one impressive Pitch they did there.

    Really, really well done - totally perfect.

    Crowdfunding continues to surprise me. The concept in general is one of the most :incline: things to happen to not only computer gaming but apparently other types of entertainment, too. I hope that private crowdfunding (to avoid the kickstarter 10% tax) becomes more popular, though. They don't deserve so much for doing so little.

    The only thing that would ruin it is big companies coming on to exploit the system when they don't really need it. Example: Richard Garriott. This Veronica Mars thing is a little sketchy, too. The lowest tier that gets to see the movie itself ($35) is way more than anyone would spend to watch any other movie. Contrast that to how game kickstarters work, where you're basically getting a huge discount for preordering.

    Movie distribution rights are fucked up. They are apparently working with WB.

    I had a horrible idea just now - since this is on a quick way to getting funded, some kind of horrible Whedonite abortion is surely to follow in its wake. NOOOOOOO!

    Hey... Brother None how about making some deal with GoG to give the project some extra exposure in return for all the new sales of PST ?
    Good for them - good for you.

    GoG has increased sales of PST because of this kickstarter. Obviously. It would be... nice...of... them.
    And after all, they will do business in the future most likely.

    jaesun... go back to planting turnips, please.

    Undersigil? Sounds more like Oblivion.

    Edit: Oh, at the end of his suggestion.

    Never heard about either. And after checking IMDB I don't think I've seen a single movie with her.

    Assassin's Creed modeled the main current-day female character after her, and she voiced her. It's pretty creepy. Geek idolation etc.

    I don't really know any movies she was in either, tho Forgetting Sarah Marshall is pretty well-known I think? She was also in Deadwood, which is awesome (the show is, her role was p irrelevant).

    I think I've played AC for like 5 minutes. Also one of Dragon Age characters was modeled after porn actress, and I think Mass Effect had one characters modeled after IGN reporter so it is nothing new or really unusual.

    o_O I mean, it would be refreshingly honest move by Bioware, but still... o_O

    Top 11 suggestions, all of which are marked "Considering"... except for 2D backgrounds, which has by far the most votes.

    What the fuck? Brother None, care to comment?
