That would be a neat concept, a "legal" death save. Wouldn't need to bump it nearly as hard.

I wonder if that would cut down on actual forceful death save attempts?

I didn't know there was a gold alligator in these movies. I'll have to check them out.

The visuals so far just don't do anything for me. I don't like the pop ups, the spider is the only one I think looks good. The white one reminds me of a garbage pail kid.

I still look forward to playing it. It won't matter to me what it looks like if it plays awesome.

He completely ruined Hobbit/LOTR for me. I read the books so many times as a kid, I had my own visions of what it looked like, and it didn't mesh well with his vision.

I haven't even watched the Hobbit because I was so disappointed with the LoTR trilogy.

Damn, those are so much better than the gold alligator.

Easy with that shit. How many people do you want to piss off on this page alone?

Same. I'm gonna have to play it before I judge. I'd love a really deep game that is easy to understand. I've tried to give TZ a chance dozens of times, and just can't get into it. I don't completely understand what I'm supposed to be doing, and don't care to take the time to learn.

If Hobbit presents a deep game that is easy for inexperienced players to learn, it's going to be a hit for me.

I should quit the hobby because TZ sucks?

It's not just the rules of the game. I can memorize anything. That doesn't make a game fun for me.

I have no connection to Twilight Zone as a show, so I don't understand what significance the piano, door, gumball machine, clock, etc.. play. I'm not going to take the time to go understand the lore just so I can understand the pinball machine.

In my opinion, TZ does a poor job of explaining the goals or why things happen in what order.

Did you mean to quote me? I'm not sure what you mean.

Ah, ok.

I was just ribbing him.

I'd really like to see as well. I don't care if it's shaky or portrait mode, I just wanna check it out.

That video is just fine, thanks for uploading it!

Smaug talking looks pretty cool and the lighting effects are neat.

Thanks for posting that, I hadn't seen it. Really looking forward to seeing what Pat's game is!

This is a good read on burn rate and runway for anyone that wants more info beyond what Flynnibus posted. Burn Rate is startup 101.

Sorry if I missed it, but is there a list of all the modes, qualifiers, and what you hit to activate a mode once you've achieved all the qualifiers?

This sounds amazingly deep and I'm trying to wrap my head around it. Looking forward to playing it one day.

I don't think you read his post right (or maybe I didn't).

He put the big "Sarcasm" emoticon after it.

Then he said, In all seriousness... before he complimented JJP on getting them back so fast.

I think he was making a parody of a typical attack on JJP.

Don't know what to tell you man, you are taking it the wrong way. He meant it as a joke.

Because pre-orders have so far been used to actually fund the companies during the startup phase, pre-spending the profits before they are earned. This creates a nasty cycle that requires pre-orders to keep going.

You guys were so busy arguing about dicks, you missed the most important thing in this thread.

You got a Veyron!?!?!?!

You got a Trevita!?!?!?!

Like George Costanza, I think it moved....

Even if the news is bad, communication is critical.

Your post made me think of a clip from Silicon Valley, where nobody will tell the higher ups the bad news about delays:

That's what makes it great to me. There is a scene in the latest season where Jared brings out a SWOT analysis chart, and I almost passed out from laughing so hard. I know someone that matches up with almost every single character on the show, as I'm sure you do.

Only in some languages.

Game looks really good!
