I bought these earlier and they didn't run at all on my x64 Windows 7. Really frustrating, tried about 200 different "solutions" posted on all sorts of terrifying forums. Sigh.

I miss my old eMachine...

@Siphillis Romance is relative to the couple. Don't pretend their idea of romance echoes your "loftier" ones.

I'm going to have to agree with others; I LOVE the concept of Kickstarter, but I feel like the price tiers are a bit high. If it were $10 for the game (a more appropriate indie game price, in my opinion) and $20-30 for beta participation, I'd be much more likely to donate to this cause.

Beta participation, for example, is one of the strongest features of game development, as the product is tested en masse without having to actually pay for release (and the firestorm of bug fury that follows). I'd strongly encourage lowering the pricing tiers so that you can follow Steam's philosophy of profits: You make more money selling 10,000 $5 games then you do 1,000 $40 ones.

@Darkspawn98

Yeah, it totally SUCKS that they raised nearly $.5 million dollars, 100% towards charity. Gah, I just HATE helping other people, especially when they're starving and stuff! I demand better games for me to play on my flashy computer when I donate money to homeless orphans! COME ON!

...seriously?

@Harrishun

Seriously, man...you ALMOST gave $10 to charity, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! God forbid you help starving children and whatnot.

Um...I fully support fan films, I love Halo, and I really look forward to a possible Halo movie...but this didn't really impress me at all. It's NOT that the team didn't try hard. It's NOT that they aren't pretty good animators.

It's that the screenplay made just about zero sense...a Spartan running blindly through a desert shooting an assault rifle at an energy-shielded aircraft? Stopping completely because of a blast that was near him? What? I don't understand...is being stupid/slow supposed to look impressive? Maybe when Michael Bay does it (I disagree, still), but this didn't really strike me as true to the Halo idea of Spartans at all. Where's the cunning, bravery, intelligence, teamwork, and amazing weapons/hand-to-hand skills?

I know it's a teaser, don't get me wrong...I just probably wouldn't have led a teaser with a Spartan running mad through a Nevada desert. Some tight corridor action, some sick gunplay/fistfights...that would have really gotten me excited.

Again, I'll reemphasize how much I support these sorts of endeavors, and I really hope the final production blows me away!

I'll keep an eye on this.

My wife and I will be doing our best to get just a few moments to ourselves...we're working four jobs while trying to get through college, and we're hoping to just BE with each other for a while.

Man, I love me some Terraria to death, seriously.

But this is crazy expensive for a game that is often on sale for $2.50. You're looking at a price that is over ten times what many have payed for this game. =/

"Entitlements" are licensed rights granted, awarded, provided and/or purchased by you to access and/or use online or off-line elements or features of EA Services and/or products.

It has already happened to multiple users, but more importantly, the phrasing exists in the ToS for Origin to do whatever it wants with the consumer's rights to use keys, DLC codes, serial codes, and online authentication. Have you ever heard of Wal-Mart walking into your house and taking your microwave after you fully purchased it? How about Toyota coming to you 24-months after you've fully purchased a car and taking it back because you only kept it in your garage but didn't drive it?

Please don't make the assumption that those phrases made their way into the Terms of Service on accident, like someone didn't know what they were typing.
