Forum Overview :: Wall Street Kid :: Re: Penny Arcade jumps into the fray

[quote name="skip"]Haha. It isn't even the first PA kickstarter. They've got a <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/springboard/penny-arcades-paint-the-line-ecg-red-tide/t">card game</a> being funded too. [quote name="Worm"]It's almost reasonable, but I'm sure they'll end up getting three million or something.[/quote] Kicktraq says they're on their way to 2.3 million. :( Why would anybody who uses adblock fund this is beyond me. The rewards tier is a thing of beauty. $300 for one of them to follow your twitter for 1 year. $1000 for one of them to be your Xbox friend. $7,500 for you to pay to travel and stay in Seattle and be their fucking intern (1 of 2 remaining). For a little over triple that, you'll get a painting of your favorite video character. For 6 figures, you can star in a PA strip. For that sort of money, you could buy real art. Don't these guys hang around PAX? Why would you spend that much money to meet them? Their FAQ also has some good ones. This kickstarter won't even remove ads from their PAX site. Any leftover money? Goes to their fund for next year, which they're already goddamn anticipating.[/quote]
