[16:37] <mjomble> WOOOO

[16:37] <Dat_Engineer> SQHISTORIAN YOU ARE FUCKING LATE

[16:37] <Dat_Engineer> LIVE IN SHAME

YES!

There's nothing like coming home from a suckawith day @ work, logging onto your computer and searching up tgakick.com, to find that the kickstarter campaign for Ace Hardway is funded up to $499,000 (approx), and then refreshing the page and seeing that it has jumped over the $500,000 goal. It's the kind of uplift and joy likable to smelling the fresh laminated box of a new SQ installment that has just hit the shelves at Costco. :)

FUCKIN' AY! :D

 

*pops something fizzy*

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Amazing people. Now we just need to get to that $100,000,000 mark so that they can "realize the full scope of what's brewing in their heads right now". ;)

It was pretty close, but thankfully, we made it through.

So, what do we do now?

We go to Robertaland!

Now, we use the news that it's hit the goal to do another round of press, and raise even more! ;)

Woohoo! 20 hours to spare as well. :)

Robertaland!!! :D

Pretty fucking awesome... I am really looking forward to spending the upcoming months obsessing over every scrap of detail that comes out for the game.. its going to be fun... I also feel that I should probably make a Chris "Space" Pope LEGO figure.

We did it! The Two Guys are back! Adventure gaming is back, baby!

Awesome! Amazing. And all another A words.

An amazing day, such love and such a community this has become!

Awesome!

Fantastic news! I can't wait for the game! :D

Brilliant stuff, congrats to everyone involved!

Wow, this exceeds my wildest, I was expecting 490K when I got home from work, optimistically.. This is just so great. And to think a week or so ago we all were worried this might not even make it.

 

As I said on the KS comments:

Thanks to everyone, special thanks to Chris Pope, Pcj and Troels, who have been instrumental in making this happen.. i'm practically in tears here :) :D

Congrats guys! Excellent work all around. You guys are hardcore.
