An acrostic view of SpaceVenture:
 
Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe
produced one of the greatest game series of
all time. The Two Guys from Andromeda wanted to
create a funny science fiction game that
everyone could enjoy. They
Ventured forth and brought all of us gamers hours of
enjoyment with the tales of Roger Wilco who was on a
neverending quest for
truth, justice and clean floors. The original series "Space Quest"
unfortunately came to an end when Sierra decided
reorganization was the way to go, and it ultimately put an
end to the working relationship of the Two Guys.
 
However, there is a happy ending. The Two Guys reunited after years of estrangement to put together a plan to create a new game series based on a plumber in space called... hmmmm... What was that title again?

Seems to be working well! At the moment we're still defending the comment count title against ouya over there but this looks great for moving forward!

Now there's an introduction, if I ever saw one!
 
There once was a robot named Rooter
serving Ace as both friend and computer.
She could upgrade herself,
with spare parts off the shelf;
there was merely a need to reboot her.

Stretch goals abounded
Someone needs to step up
Save in one fell swoop
 
;)

0 seconds on the clock.
Promises not yet fulfilled.
Could there be some writer's block?
Or maybe Roger had them killed.
 
After all, it was their turn.

That's exactly what turned me off. It offends my sensibilities, even if I am online most of the time. Sets a bad precedent, so don't want to encourage it. Power play by companies coveting more and more power over players.

OK... Here it is, with help from my Limmerick-fu sensei penguinfan:
 
There once were Two Guys from Oakhurst
whose humor caused quite an outburst
and then corporate greed
killed what they would need
to let Roger say what he'd rehearsed.

It was awesome. For posterity, and those that missed it, here is the AMA.

There once were some fans way fanatical
who considered a snout emblematical
so with never a doubt,
they donned snouts to go out,
and expected some feedback ecstatical

Another possibility would be chat hosted at the upcoming "backer exclusive Spaceventure Insider website", can see if whoever runs that website is interested in some experiments to get more backer involvement

The Andromeda Triangle sounds a tad tough
But the Andromedan people had had enough
They punched in the numbers, and made a new goal
To crunch the ol’ triangle under their sole
 
They powered the quark drives and sped off to purge
The world of the triangle’s terrible dirge
It was that bad place where good things went away
Now it's the mem’ry they pushed back that day

The Two Guys brought buckets of buckazoids
in a lockbox constructed of trapezoids.
Some were silver, some gold,
but all precious to hold --
valued highly in trading with humanoids.

No worries FroggyMe6581!

Okay, time for another song. I'll see what I can do about singing/chords (not much exp. there) but as it is you can sing it to The House of the Rising Sun by The Animals.
...Gilligans Island works too... and Amazing Grace for that matter. It's a draft that I might polish up later but hopefully it's usable for now.
 
The Ballad of Andromeda:
 
The galaxy Andromeda:
A place of fame of lore.
From there two guys with porcine snouts
Came seeking fame once more.
 
And though they could not stop for breath,
Space Pope—he helped them cope,
While fighting up to the top of this
Oh so slippery slope.
 
“How can we get this Venture made?”
So came the baleful cry!
“We need some way to kick-start things.”
“I know! Let's eat some pie!”
 
With sugar needs well satisfied,
They starting making plans.
Things started clicking into place,
And there they were, the fans.
 
Now problems came, they were not few,
How would they deal with those.
Banding together's the only way
To end such foul repose.
 
Videos, adventure games,
Art, comics, beer and drink.
An Ace was rooted from the sleeve
To pull back from the brink.

This tale we tell while we await
Many more phenomena
From the snout-nosed ones we all know as:
Two Guys from Andromeda

Okay, guess I too should contribute:
 
The attempt of the century: reunite
Two guys from Andromeda—you heard that right.
Their wounds all a'healed,
Their minds so congealed,
They made known their most perilous plight.
 
A campaign to raise oh some money, yes please.
Then terrible gaming they'll bring to it's knees.
With, yes, some bumbling,
And also stumbling,
They'll our cry for adventure appease.
 
As the pledges progressed, our blood it did boil,
As the makers and fans in tandem did toil
To scale that big wall
Of trolls, mighty tall,
That caused all the fine pledges to roil.
 
Cluck Y'Egger do please, come and lighten our load!
We cannot yet see the sweet end of the road.
We need more fan games!
Go spark some new flames!
And make the comments section explode.
 
But conquer we did! All the ones who entailed
to blast our Ace into space as one unveiled.
The man so true,
And rooter too,
They give cry that in might we prevailed!

Man, it's been years since I wrote any Limmericks, guess you guys are a good inspiration
 
The unlikely hero named Ace
starts packing his toolkit for Space
with a wrench that's so light
it's no good in a fight,
while the narrator notes this disgrace.
 
** note it has a somewhat UNlikely EMPHasis, but that is rather common for limmericks

It's too soon to go into much detail, but I have a feeling we'll see Pledge Quest's Bea back in action sooner or later.
