The kickstarter's averaging about 20k per hour, and has shown little sign of slowing down. At this rate it'll reach 900k sometime tomorrow.
Remember, Kotaku is full of people who passionately wish they were Japanese, and do not have time for anything that wouldn't sell a million copies there. 
That's a nice way of saying they're a bunch of irredeemable morons. Who cares. Less than 260k to go now, and it's going up by 1k every 5 minutes or so.

I'm just making some light-hearted fun. I was thinking of a nice I Have No Mouth LP I remembered and thought it'd be humorous! Well, it was to me. I'm sorry, I'll try to refrain from being funny in the future.

Yup, the guy gave 10K for his past pirate sins
Hope all of us gets into that position some day.
$645,415
looks like it might reach even 700,000 by the end of the day....

Must have sold suprisingly well then, there's a market for western blobs after all.
That 10K pledge from the razer guy almost makes up for the fact that they are taking forever to exchange my broken orochi wireless mouse and it was a major pain to get them an order confirmation from 15 months ago to prove that I bought the mouse or something.
I feel like publishers have become like the TV studios that would do something like buy your idea for a show and then say, "Your idea is awesome, we just want to make some minor changes. The lead character need to be a woman instead of a man and we are going to change the location and most of the main plot points....but it is still your great idea."
This will hopefully be a new way for the power to go back to the developers and maybe, just maybe, some publishers will get their hands off of some of the games that they publish and let the developer make the games that they intended to make.

Now we just need to ask Charles-cgr to donate at least $100 towards the Codex shrine. The Codex did a favourable review of his game, after all.

not a god damned chance
Fuck me! Someone's just forked out another 10k and 5k tiers. Only 9 statues remaining as of now.
I pledged my modest 65$. Let's see how high it gets.

It's not moving as fast as DFA's did obviously, but it's actually getting much larger donations on average. ~57 per backer compared to around 40 at a similar point for Double Fine.
I guess CRPG fans are just very well-off(/desperate)!

Somebody actually predicted that this would happen (less but larger donations than DF).
Who was that? Step up and receive thy brofist!
Once it is fully funded I bet the number of $15 donations will sky rocket.
$15 is quite cheap and I bet a lot of people will throw that in once it is sure to come out.

Don't underestimate the stupidity of the general public, though.

I've put myself down for US$10K for the Wasteland 2 project. Do support their kickstarter if you can http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/wasteland-2@BrianFargo
Min-Liang Tan @minliangtan
@BrianFargo And I'm sorry for playing on a pirated copy of Wasteland years ago, I hope this makes up for it.
I think there are a lot of gamers that might not care about Wasteland specifically, but once the game is full funded I think a lot of people will sign on for $15 just to get the game cheaply.
These aren't going to be people that are excited about Wasteland, but just people that come along and say "that looks interesting, here is my $15"...
As time goes on the number of larger donations will decrease while the number of small donations will increase.
I bet that in 10 days there will still be a steady stream of $15 donators coming aboard, but the larger donators will dry up. This will bring down the average donation per donator, but will also pad out the total donations numbers by quite a lot in the long term.

Yeah, it's a psychological thing. People want to contribute towards a "winner".
